Lust System: Harem Of Beautiful Women Chapter 849 Promotion

Suzanne took a deep breath, looked directly at Luis, and said, "Don't worry, I know I'm just the mistress. When it comes to your family's affairs, even your father-in-law can't interfere, let alone me."

"I have no right to meddle in your family matters."

"Aunt Suzanne, I respect and appreciate your open-mindedness!"

Luis was slightly taken aback, then said, "But I've always maintained at least a basic level of respect for you."

"I know, and I thank you for that!"

Suzanne's eyes softened as she said softly, "At first, when your eldest sister married Darian, they did come to visit us."

"Even if I'm not one to despise the poor and favor the rich, at least I was happy back then. At least I had your eldest sister's approval."

"But it was all fake. Darian's family is indeed well-off, but that has nothing to do with him as a person. He actually showed me about as much respect as he showed your mother-in-law."

"I could see your father-in-law was angry, and I could see your sister-in-law's helplessness. But they only visit once or twice a year, so I didn't want to ruin the mood."

"Darian doesn't have any ill intent. He's just a pure idiot."

Luis never thought he'd one day be defending that brother-in-law.

But it wasn't insincere. In the past, Darian really was an idiot. But now that he'd turned gay, he was truly unfathomable.

"Ah, honestly, none of this is really my business."

Suzanne sighed. "I know I've wronged your mother-in-law, and I don't dare to upset her."

"To be honest, at this age, talking about marriage and such is pointless. I made my mistake back then."

Luis pulled out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and pondered: "Aunt Suzanne, so did you see me today?"

Suzanne said decisively, "I didn't see anything today. I'll be heading back after I finish my shopping."

"You're still busy in the provincial capital, and I haven't seen you today either."

Communicating with an intelligent person was truly refreshing. Suzanne lifted the bags in her hand and said with a smile, "Alright, I need to take these things back. I won't mention today's incident to anyone."

"Thank you!"

Watching her leave, Luis was lost in thought.

Given the system's wicked nature, Suzanne was such a beautiful, gentle, intellectual, and refined young woman.

She was the type whose beauty grew on you. What was puzzling was that she was her father-in-law's mistress, yet the evil system hadn't issued a quest for her.

Luis rubbed his chin, pondering whether he should stir up some trouble to test if the system might be interested in adding another green hat to his father-in-law's collection.

The provincial capital during evening rush hour was always horribly congested.

The sky was still tinged with dusk, and the fiery clouds were a precursor to the coming storm. The air was oppressively hot, making it unbearable the moment you stepped out of the TV station gates.

A wave of heat nearly knocked her over. Elara Ye, dressed in professional attire that looked sharp and alluring, greeted passing colleagues with a beaming smile.

Although the station hadn't deliberately publicized Xeno's situation, the news had still spread.

Anyone with any status at the station had long since heard the rumors. The exact details weren't clear, but the station's leadership had all flown over early that morning.

Things were probably not looking good for Xeno. Naturally, with his competitor out of the picture, the position of deputy station director was already in Elara Ye's pocket.

"Sis, I'm almost at the MRT station. It's going to take a while to get there. The roads are fucking gridlocked."

"No rush. I'll wait for you to have dinner. Just come straight home."

Elara Ye's eyes softened. She went home, changed, and put on a pair of athletic shorts and a plain T-shirt.

The formidable female leader now looked like a gentle, homely housewife, barefaced yet still radiantly beautiful.

The roads in the provincial capital were so clogged even a dog couldn't get through. It was nearly nine o'clock by the time Luis finally arrived.

Elara Ye, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, was working on her computer. She instinctively glanced at the time when she heard the door open, surprised at how much time had passed.

"Sis, I'm starving and so hot!"

Luis set down his luggage as soon as he walked in, looking travel-weary.

Elara Ye gave a gentle smile, closed her laptop, and stretched. "I'm hungry too. I guess I'm just destined to be a workhorse."

"I thought, since I haven't left work on time in ages, I'd come home and relax a bit."

"Maybe get a foot massage or something. But as soon as my phone rang, I naturally started working again. Born to be a beast of burden."

She chuckled wryly, stretching as she came over and grabbed Luis's arm, laughing, "Come on, little brother, I'm starving. I want to eat something good."

She was clearly braless. The feeling of her breasts pressing against his arm was incredibly soft.

Luis gave a wicked grin. "Sis, you're going commando under that?"

"Duh, it's so hot out. At work, I was sweating through my clothes. If I wore a bra at home, I'd suffocate."

Elara Ye wasn't shy at all. Instead, she deliberately rubbed her chest against him a few times, still laughing. "Little brat, is your sister's tofu good to eat?"

"Are my boobs bigger, or are your wife's?"

She was really close to Luis now, teasing him without restraint, with a hint of that "no respect for age" vibe.

Luis grinned wickedly and said, "Based on feel, my wife's are probably bigger, but neither of you are really that big."

"Oh, so you're being picky now, are you?"

Elara Ye said coquettishly, "You little brat, I bet you have plenty of women on the side."

"Not bad. It's tough being this handsome. Getting seduced all the time is my biggest problem."

Luis made a smug face.

Just as they reached the ground floor, they received a call from his brother-in-law, Carter Peng.

Elara Ye answered a few times, then said, "I just came downstairs with Luis. We haven't had dinner yet."

Carter Peng's car was already parked at the entrance of the community. With a driver, it clearly indicated his status.

The two got into the car, and Luis dutifully sat in the passenger seat, saying obediently, "Brother-in-law!!!"

"Luis, I'm taking you to try some good Northwestern cuisine."

Carter Peng looked equally pleased, smiling as he said, "Once this meeting is over, you and your sister will probably be working overtime and eating takeout again."

"Since we still have time, let's have a good drink together. Things are going to get busy in a couple of days."

The car stopped at a nearby halal restaurant that wasn't lavish but was very elegant. Carter Peng had already reserved a private room. As soon as they sat down, he picked up the menu and handed it over.

"You order, brother-in-law. You definitely know what their specialties are."

Luis immediately pushed it back.

For this young man who was practically his brother-in-law, his understanding, humility, and sense of propriety made Carter Peng like him more and more.

"Let's have some boiled tripe, a braised pork strip, yellow mustard tripe shreds, and a boiled beef in chili sauce."

"Ten beef skewers, ten beef tendon skewers, ten pieces of fatty brisket..."

After Carter Peng finished ordering, the waiter immediately brought up a large pitcher of ice-cold draft beer. Carter Peng himself opened a bottle of baijiu he'd brought.

"Come on, let's have a drink first!!!"

They clinked glasses. Carter Peng said cheerfully, "Honey, Luis is really your lucky star. As soon as he arrived, our biggest headache just solved itself."

Carter Peng teased, "Not only did he solve it completely, he solved it by sending someone to the hospital."

That's why he'd said they'd be busy soon—it was already certain that Elara Ye was getting promoted.

With the support of his own family's influence and the Ye family's foundation, she would be a truly powerful deputy director.

Luis just smiled and said nothing, acting as if he knew nothing. Elara Ye, a bit excited, raised her glass and said, "Right, Luis, let us siblings have another drink."

"Congratulations on your promotion, sis."

Luis clinked glasses with her.

"It's all thanks to you, little brother!"

Elara Ye was overjoyed and gave Luis a flirtatious glance.

They shared a knowing smile, feeling a secret thrill right in front of her husband, like two kids who'd gotten away with something.
