Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Jiang Yue, please be a human being...

Although it was a huge sum of 100,000 yuan, the card application still required registering the same information. The only difference was that the lady who helped with the registration was prettier and spoke more gently, and then the 100,000 yuan was gone.

Wen Yao was so impatient that she finally got the card. Just as she was about to start the treatment, the beautician said, "There's a free manicure package on the day you sign up. Why don't we go get the manicure first?"

Wen Yao quickly realized that there was a quarrel in the beauty salon, and the beautician wanted to send her away because she was afraid of the bad influence.

Of course she wouldn't agree, so she simply refused and went straight into the room where the sound came from.

"Come to think of it, if you see Jiang Yue now, will you call him brother?"

"Hahahaha, you probably can't scream, right?"

Xu Jiawen had already completed her beauty project. She was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, asking someone to help her put on makeup again while looking at Lu Wan and talking.

Lu Wan had just arrived and was sitting in front of the dressing mirror next to her, removing her makeup.

Her expression was calm and she didn't respond to Xu Jiawen.

But Xu Jiawen wouldn't let her go just because she remained silent. Instead, he pretended to be concerned and continued, "Actually, I still think Jiang Yue is better than Jiang Lin. After all, his status is more legitimate. You shouldn't have been so angry back then. I guess it will be too late to regret it later, after all, it's this kind of relationship."

Then she quickly denied her own words: "No, it shouldn't matter to you. After all, I went from being my brother's fiancée to my younger brother's fiancée. Divorcing my younger brother and marrying my older brother is pretty easy."

At this time, Lu Wan's mother, who was sitting next to her, became furious and said with a red face: "Xu Jiawen, our family affairs have nothing to do with you."

This didn't hurt Xu Jiawen at all. Xu Jiawen smiled and said, "Aunt Xie, I know it has nothing to do with me. I'm just friends with Lu Wan, and I'm worried about her."

Then he immediately asked, "Auntie, I sincerely think Jiang Yue is better. Are you guys determined to choose Jiang Lin?"

Then he turned the gun towards Lu Wan: "You and Jiang Yue have been together for so long, you have done everything you should do, right?" A mischievous smile appeared on her face: "Who do you think is better between the two of them?"

The meaning of this statement is very clear. On the surface, it is asking about the conditions of the two people, but following the previous sentence, it is hinting at their performance in bed, which is very insulting.

Lu Wan had been trying to remain calm, but now she couldn't bear it any longer. She turned around and was about to speak when Wen Yao spoke up in time, "Why are you asking so many questions? Anyway, no matter which of them is better, it's not your turn."

Xu Jiawen turned his head to look at Wen Yao, but found that he didn't recognize her. He looked her up and down again and asked angrily, "Who are you?"

Wen Yao smiled, "You'll know who I am on Lu Wan's wedding day. Anyway, I know both Jiang Yue and Jiang Lin. One is a prodigy, the other is up-and-coming. I don't know who's more capable, but they're both handsome, just in different ways. If they both stood in front of you, you probably wouldn't know who to choose."

Before Xu Jiawen could speak, she struck while the iron was hot: "But you don't have to worry about this. Anyway, they both like people like Lu Wan and won't choose you."

"You...I...I..." After holding it in for a long time, Xu Jiawen glared and said, "I just don't like them!"

Wen Yao showed a surprised expression: "So you like someone like Wang Xu? You have quite a unique taste!"

Xu Jiawen was so angry that his face turned pale and he couldn't speak for a long time.

It was mentioned briefly in the plot that Xu Jiawen was on a blind date with Wang Xu at the time.

Wang Xu is a rich second-generation from Binjiang. His family business is quite large, but he is ugly and has no special skills. He works as a manager in the family business. In fact, he never goes to work and spends his days eating, drinking and having fun.

Even so, it was Xu Jiawen's father who had to tiptoe to use his connections to facilitate this blind date, because the Wang family was wealthy, and Xu Jiawen herself was of average condition. She did not have Lu Wan's natural beauty, nor did she have Lu Wan's education from a prestigious university, nor did she have the well-educated and polite image that Lu Wan had in public.

Wen Yao was right. Neither Jiang Yue nor Jiang Lin would be interested in Xu Jiawen, from their family background to their personal conditions.

So this also hit Xu Jiawen's sore spot. In the upper-class marriage market, her value was much lower than Lu Wan's.

The makeup artist didn't dare to breathe next to Xu Jiawen. After a long while, she timidly asked, "Miss Xu, do you think this lipstick color is okay?"

Xu Jiawen said unhappily, "No need." Then he picked up his bag and ran out angrily.

Lu Wan was rescued and greeted Wen Yao with a chuckle: "Why are you here?"

Wen Yao replied, "I see your wedding is coming up soon. I've never attended such a grand occasion, so I wanted to come and get a beauty treatment. And it was such a coincidence that I ran into you."

Lu Wan thanked her: "Thank you for what I said just now."

Before Wen Yao could speak, Lu Wan's mother said, "Yes, thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't know how long she would have been teasing us. Sigh... there's nothing we can do. Are you Xiaowan's friend?"

"Hello, Auntie. I'm..." Wen Yao thought for a long time and felt a little embarrassed to introduce herself.

Lu Wan said, "Mom, she is Miss Wen who just married Jiang Yue."

Lu Wan's mother was stunned. She looked at her, then at her daughter, and was speechless for a long time.

The makeup artist interrupted in time and asked Wen Yao to sit in front of the makeup mirror and start removing her makeup.

The few of them stopped talking, after all, the topic was a bit awkward.

But Lu Wan's mother was obviously curious. She secretly glanced at Wen Yao a few more times, and then looked at Lu Wan, as if she was full of doubts.

She had probably heard about Jiang Yue's marriage before, and also knew Wen Yao, but she didn't know why Wen Yao seemed to be very familiar with Lu Wan and would even speak up to help Lu Wan.

After the two of them lay down on the beauty bed, Wen Yao seized the opportunity to comfort Lu Wan: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much about this. Without Jiang Yue, you wouldn't have met Jiang Lin, nor would you have been engaged to Jiang Lin. Think about it, if you and Jiang Lin had a happy marriage, wouldn't this become a beautiful love story?"

"And I promise you, Jiang Lin is a good person, and you and he will be very happy."

Lu Wan asked her: "Shouldn't you think Jiang Yue is good? After all, you are married to him."

"Well..." Wen Yao made a direct invitation: "This is a long story. Do you have time later? How about we have afternoon tea?"

Lu Wan agreed. She was indeed confused about Wen Yao's background and why she was so close to her.

An hour later, several people came out of the beauty salon. In order to let the two talk, Lu Wan's mother went back first, so Lu Wan and Wen Yao went to an afternoon tea restaurant together.

"Actually, Jiang Yue and I married purely for money."

Wen Yao's words almost made Lu Wan choke.

Lu Wan swallowed the fruit tea, wiped the corner of her mouth, and looked at her in disbelief: "Money?"

Wen Yao nodded: "Yes, what else? Is it possible that I would fall for that guy? Not only is he selfish and domineering, he's also lustful."

Lu Wan looked at Wen Yao for a long time and was speechless.

She did break off the engagement with Jiang Yue, but from beginning to end, she never said a bad word about Jiang Yue.

Now that I think about it, saying Jiang Yue is selfish... Anyway, let's just say he has some ego. Is he overbearing? Actually, that's pretty much the same thing. As for lust... like Wang Shanshan, that seems to be...

But Lu Wan was shocked when she heard Jiang Yue was so bluntly called selfish, domineering and lustful.

Wen Yao continued, "You know, my family isn't rich. In fact, not only are we not rich, we're quite poor. I'm a single parent, raised by my mother. My mother is sick now and needs to be in the ICU for surgery. I don't have that much money, and I happened to meet Jiang Yue, so we came to an agreement."

Wen Yao had read at least eight of the ten books about the arranged marriage between the naive heroine and the domineering CEO in ancient times. She blurted out the whole story without thinking, and Lu Wan was stunned by what she heard.

"Agreement?" Lu Wan repeated.

Wen Yao nodded: "Yes, he said that as long as I agree to marry him, he will pay for my mother's medical treatment. Even if he sold me, he wouldn't have that much money, so I agreed."

Lu Wan took a long time to digest the answer before asking, "Why does he want to get married?"

Wen Yao shook her head. "I don't know. I think he felt embarrassed, so he wanted to get married before you. But he didn't want to get married for real, so he made a deal with me. He said that whenever he asked for a divorce, I had to get a divorce."

Lu Wan thought for a long time and said doubtfully, "But Jiang Yue doesn't seem like someone who cares so much about face. Why would he get married just to be angry? This is really... too unbelievable."

"Really?" Wen Yao asked back, "Is he planning something bad? Even though I don't know him very well, my intuition tells me that he's not a kind person. If it weren't for the money, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with him!"

Lu Wan was speechless for a moment.

So this is why Wen Yao expressed her affection for me?

She and Jiang Yue had an arranged marriage, so she had no grudge against me?

Lu Wan always felt like she was dreaming.

Out of politeness, Lu Wan said, "That's not the case. From what I know, Jiang Yue is quite upright and motivated, and he's also very capable. Maybe he really thinks you're suitable for marriage."

Wen Yao smiled and shook her head, then told her: "Don't tell anyone else about what happened today. If he knew I told you, he might deduct money from me."

Lu Wan didn't know what to say, so she just replied, "I won't tell anyone."

This time, Wen Yao finally revealed her cards and spoke frankly.

She just wanted to tell Lu Wan that she didn't care about Jiang Yue's ex-fiancée, so there was no barrier between them in terms of status.

Now that it was clear, she felt a lot more relieved. She treated Lu Wan as a friend sincerely. Thinking of what she had been thinking about, she asked Lu Wan: "Tell me, why does a man suddenly treat you well for no reason?"

Lu Wan smiled and said, "Don't I like you?"

Wen Yao shook her head: "Exclude this answer, it's impossible."

Lu Wan continued, "So you're saying he has other motives? That depends on what you have, whether it's sex, money, or advantageous resources."

Wen Yao thought about it. Although she felt that she was still somewhat pretty, Jiang Yue would definitely not be interested in her. As for wealth, it was even more impossible. Favorable resources...

This is certain, Jiang Yue was attracted by her identity as an author.

So Jiang Yue suddenly treated her well because he was interested in her identity as an author and hoped to use this advantage to achieve his goal.

It was a threat before, but now it has become a bribe. What’s more, this bribe is weird. He accompanies her shopping, buys her clothes and necklaces, and even teaches her to swim personally?

This doesn't seem like bribery, but rather like I want the domineering president to fall in love with me.

When these seven words came out, Wen Yao suddenly realized the problem: Jiang Yue was pampering her in the way of a domineering CEO!

He fell in love with her, so he spoiled her, but this was impossible, so he pretended to spoil her so that she would fall for him.

In other words, he was seducing her.
