Chapter 3 Not a Good Person

I rushed forward and pretended to hit him, but when I saw how he was dressed, I stopped.

I saw my brother wearing a delivery rider's uniform and a helmet, and he got on the electric bike next to me and went to deliver the food without looking back.

"This... is Gu Bai?"

Is this still the pampered brother I know?

I suddenly felt mixed emotions. When I was spending money like water before, I didn't think money was important. But now that I'm bankrupt, I realize how difficult it is to get by without money.

"How much does our family owe?"

I spoke tentatively. I had never worried about these issues before, so my brother was right. I was really an idiot in this regard.

My father remained silent with a sullen face. My mother sighed and said, "Fifty million. If you can't pay the money back, our whole family will be convicted of dishonesty and be executed."

“…”

The three of us went upstairs in silence.

After lying on the moldy sheets and thinking all night, I finally showed up downstairs of Jiang Yichen's office building before his work start time.

Jiang Yichen's car showed up on time.

Just when I mustered up the courage to step forward and stop him, I saw a beautifully dressed woman getting out of his passenger seat.

All the mental preparation I had done throughout the night turned to ashes in an instant.

I looked at my reflection in the glass door, my hair was disheveled, my clothes were wrinkled, and I suddenly felt inferior as never before.

I tried to run, but they had already seen me.

Jiang Yichen stopped walking. The woman next to him looked at him, then at me, and suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, "I've heard people say that Mr. Jiang's Jiao... no, his ex-wife is a one-in-a-million beauty. Could it be her?"

If you can't speak, you can shut up.

I suppressed my panic, forced myself to straighten my back, and nodded to them, "Good morning."

"What's up?"

Jiang Yichen glanced at me calmly, and he exuded a kind of dignity that I had never seen before.

I felt a little flustered by his gaze, and quickly shook my head, "No...it's okay, I was just passing by."

I almost bit my tongue because I was so nervous.

Jiang Yichen looked away from me and pointed behind him, "I saw you at that intersection. Tell me what's going on?"

"I……"

My strength was exposed and my momentum instantly weakened.

I stammered about the recent situation at home, expressed my regret tactfully, and lowered my head in shame.

Jiang Yichen looked at me in silence.

I didn't know what to say, but the woman next to him teased, "Oh, what were you doing earlier? You just remembered to get back together with our CEO Jiang now. Go wait in line."

As she said this, she deliberately took Jiang Yichen's arm as if to provoke him.

Jiang Yichen did not refuse, but just continued to stare at me, as if he acknowledged this fact.

I admit that my heart was hurt for a moment, but as proud as I am, how could I show the slightest bit of loss and sadness in such a scene? I immediately denied it and said, "It's not a reunion!"

The voice fell...

The look he gave me seemed a little colder, but I could only bite the bullet and say, "I just want the property to be redistributed."

"Oh, so it's for money!"

The woman laughed even more happily, covering her mouth and shaking, "I don't know who it is. Yesterday he said he would rather beg than take a penny from our CEO Jiang, but today he changed his mind!"

"You told her?"

I froze all over and looked at Jiang Yichen in disbelief.

Jiang Yichen remained silent, like a silent knife, cutting off all my self-esteem.

The woman stopped smiling and held out her hand to me. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Nan, CEO Jiang's new assistant. I will be in charge of your divorce, so you can tell me if you have any requests."

Why?

I slapped her hand away and said coldly, "I'm talking to Jiang Yichen, is it your turn to interrupt?"

Lin Nan pinched her fingers, looked at me with the same cold face, and took out the divorce agreement I signed from her bag. "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Lin Nan, and I was Jiang Yichen's roommate when he was studying abroad. In terms of first come first served, I am also ahead of you."

White moonlight.

It suddenly dawned on me, no wonder Jiang Yichen was so eager to divorce me.

Jiang Yichen nodded. "She is now my assistant and legal advisor. She will settle the money matter with you."

"OK!"

Jiang Yichen, you are awesome!

I suppressed my anger and followed Lin Nan into the private meeting room.

Who would have thought that the result after I put aside my pride and negotiated would be less than two million. I kicked open Jiang Yichen's door despite Lin Nan's obstruction.

I was about to scold him for sending away a beggar, but I swallowed the words back. Who said I am not a beggar now?

I lowered my head and suddenly felt a little sad.

Jiang Yichen crossed his legs and sat on the sofa, looking at me lazily, "Do you think it's too little? How about five million?"

“…”

Is this what it feels like to be humiliated with money?

I raised my head and looked fixedly at the man sitting by the window, as if I saw my past self.

Jiang Yichen stood up and walked towards me, closing the door behind me. He half-pressed me against the door and leaned close to my ear, "Or, 50 million?"

My eyes lit up.

Fifty million can really save my family from dire straits!

However, the oppressive atmosphere that came over me told me that things were not that simple.

I swallowed hard, and asked with all my strength, "What are the conditions?"

Jiang Yichen tucked my messy hair behind my ears one by one, and said in a gentle and bewitching tone, "How about letting me sleep for a night?"

"Jiang Yichen!"

I pushed the man in front of me away, doubting whether I had heard it wrongly.

In the seven years of marriage, he had countless opportunities to sleep with me, but even if I was drunk and disheveled and vomited on him, he would just clean me up, carry me back to bed, leave a glass of warm water by the bed, and then go back to his nanny room to sleep on the floor.

Now he says he wants to sleep with me?

Apart from mocking me, I really can't think of any other possibility!

I blushed and said angrily, "Is it fun to make fun of me? Even if you want to humiliate me, you don't have to do this, right?"

Jiang Yichen's eyes suddenly turned cold, staring into my eyes and asked, "Do you think this is a humiliation?"

I was a little flustered by his stare, so I avoided his gaze and my voice became weak unconsciously. "In the past... I was ignorant of your kindness to you, but even so, you don't have to retaliate against me like this."

"revenge?"

Jiang Yichen's eyes turned even colder, and he said in a deep voice, "Is this how you look down on me?"

The temperature in the room kept dropping, and I couldn't help shivering a few times. I looked up and met his eyes, and suddenly I felt as if I had never known this man in front of me.

In my impression, Jiang Yichen has always been a weak and bullied little sheep, but he was able to go from exile overseas to regain financial power...

You can tell with your own eyes that he is not a good person!

I don't want this money.
