Others marry into wealthy families for love, but she married into one purely for money. The man she married didn't love her and kicked her out with nothing. Now, struggling to make ends meet, s...
Jian Mujin knew she couldn't hide it any longer, so she told Long Tingwei about getting their marriage certificate.
"My God, that old man actually took a liking to you and wants you to be his granddaughter-in-law. Sigh, this relationship is really complicated. He likes you, but you can't force feelings. Otherwise, it's easy to create a resentful couple. Look at what happened to Dan'er, you can tell that this was a mistake!"
Jian Mujin did not reveal that she was Long Tingwei's savior, nor did she mention that the scars on her body were left because of Long Tingwei.
Because her grandfather told her that one should not take advantage of kindness, otherwise even good intentions can turn into bad ones.
Although she didn't save Long Tingwei out of kindness, if it weren't for Old Master Long finding her and saying that he and her grandfather were comrades-in-arms, she wouldn't have begged him to find her a partner.
Who would have thought that the old man would actually offer his grandson to him?
Hmph, that's easy for her to say. It's okay if you don't know each other before marriage, it's okay if you don't like each other, and she can get a large sum of money if the two of you divorce. That's why she agreed to get the marriage certificate!
Sigh, I'm on a sinking ship now. Long Tingwei said that if we divorce, he won't give me a single penny.
Now she's burdened herself with a mountain of debt, instantly turning her into a "debtor."
The women lost interest in chatting. Haha had rented a room outside and invited Jian Mujin to stay for the night, but when she thought about how Haha had recently gotten a boyfriend, she shook her head repeatedly.
"I live in the Long family's house, anyway, that woman doesn't live in the Long family's house!"
Jian Mujin was wrong. She hoped Ling Yuexue wouldn't stay at the Long family because she was afraid of the old man. Now that the old man has gone abroad, she would naturally prefer to move to the Long family.
When Jian Mujin arrived, not to mention the main gate, the south gate was also closed to her, supposedly on the orders of Young Master Long.
Xiao Wang couldn't bear to see her alone outside, so he gave her two hundred yuan and told her to find a place to stay for the time being. The woman had returned to the Long family!
Jian Mujin's heart sank to the lowest point.
In the following days, Jian Mujin's life was indeed difficult. The debt collectors could always find her by smell. Fortunately, she ran fast, but she was still relentlessly chased and beaten by those people, and several more cuts were torn on her body.
Jian Mujin seriously doubted that she would be driven crazy by this group of people.
Forget about having a meal, I don't even get to eat the instant noodles I usually make.
She had far too little money for lodging, food, and medical treatment. At night, she could only huddle in an abandoned pipe, trying to keep warm.
After enduring this for several days, Jian Mujin finally couldn't take it anymore. She ran all the way to the main gate of the Long family. She didn't go to the front gate, but instead grabbed the south door frame and shouted inside, "Long Tingwei, you ungrateful wretch! I saved your life, and you don't even remember it, but you repay kindness with enmity!"
All the servants of the Long family came out when they heard the noise, and were immediately stunned when they saw Jian Mujin, who looked travel-worn and was covered in dirt.
Long Tingwei happened to be off work today. He heard about it and came out leisurely, looking at her with a calm and collected expression.
"What do you mean by repaying kindness with enmity? Your grandfather saved my grandfather, not me! If you need money, you can ask the old man for it. Don't try to take advantage of me or Xue'er. You didn't listen and used my kindness to your advantage. How can you blame me for that?"
Jian Mujin wanted to explain, but if she did, wouldn't she be the kind of person he described as someone who takes advantage of kindness? So she held back and cried her heart out.
What will it take for you to let me go?
Seeing her cry, Long Tingwei felt a pang of pity. However, considering that this woman had offended Xue'er several times out of tact, he figured this little lesson would teach her a lesson.
"I can spare you if you divorce me!"
Jian Mujin nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Okay, divorce! But how much money will you give me in the divorce!"
Money is everything, and her life won't end up like this. I still need to save up for her dowry.
Long Tingwei sneered, "I'm already being merciful by helping you pay off your debts. You still dare to talk to me about money? Fine, I'll give you money, but you can go back to your hometown and never leave again. I might consider giving you 100,000 yuan as a reward for your grandfather saving my grandfather's life."
Jian Mujin gritted her teeth, "But all my documents are with the old man, so I can't buy a ticket to go back!"
"I'll have someone take you back!"
"Fine, let's get a divorce then!" Jian Mujin showed no reluctance. Long Tingwei was slightly suspicious. Could it be that her purpose in getting a marriage certificate with him was only for money, rather than for the status of Mrs. Long?
Is she really that easily satisfied with such a small amount of money? Long Tingwei still couldn't believe it, recalling her vain demeanor at the bar a few days ago.
However, since she had agreed, Long Tingwei was too lazy to say anything more to her and immediately had someone draft a divorce agreement.
Ling Yuexue returned from outside, pale and exhausted. When she saw the disheveled Jian Mujin, she was startled. Had this woman said something?
When Long Tingwei saw her return, he immediately went over to share the good news with her, adding that they would get married as soon as that woman left.
We'll try to get married before the old man comes back.
Upon hearing this news, Ling Yuexue was initially happy, but now she is filled with worry.
Before leaving the country, Hua Ge insisted on having artificial insemination done with her, and only after it was successful would he leave the country to deal with the old man's matter.
In order to maintain her status as Mrs. Long, Ling Yuexue had no choice but to agree.
Unfortunately, today's result satisfied Brother Hua.
She was pregnant with Hua Ge's child, and Long Tingwei couldn't find out about this. She had to find a way to cover up the lie.
Yes, that woman can't leave yet. This child can't be born. We'll have to rely on her for the rest of the story.
"Xue'er, what's wrong?" Tingwei touched Ling Yuexue's pale cheek, somewhat worried, and suggested taking her to the hospital to have a check-up.
Ling Yuexue quickly refused, saying that she had already seen a doctor, but she was just feeling a bit feverish and had a cold, and didn't want to drink such bitter medicine again.
Long Tingwei had no choice but to pick her up and carry her away amidst the envious gazes of the servants.
Jian Mujin waited for Long Tingwei to send her off, then went into her room to pack her things. Actually, she didn't have much stuff; besides a few of her own clothes, she didn't have anything else.
She had taken some small trinkets from the old man before, which were worth some money, and she really wanted to take them with her. But when she remembered the things Long Tingwei had smashed last time, she felt a pang of heartache and decided not to take them.
After waiting for a while, someone came over and told her to take a shower and tidy herself up first. They made her a meal and then told her to talk to them.
Jian Mujin was already starving. If this was arranged by Long Tingwei, then he still had some conscience.
After taking a shower without stopping, Xiao Wang placed several dishes in front of her, which Jian Mujin wolfed down before stopping.
"Sigh, Miss Jane, you're actually a very nice person, it's just that we're not destined to meet again!"
