“I live alone, where can’t I live? Things have changed, and I feel uncomfortable living in that house.” I deliberately said something harsh to express my disgust for the villa.

But actually, everything in that villa was carefully selected and arranged by me, and I really like it.

But nothing is more important than the jade bracelet left by my mother.

"Okay, how much do you want?"

"Eight million."

Actually, both the renovation and the furniture should be depreciated, but I don't want to be fair. He wronged me first, so why should I still care about him?

"I'll give you 15 million. We'll go complete the transfer procedures tomorrow afternoon. But you don't need to move out right away; you can stay as long as you want." Gu Yanqing was very generous, which surprised me.

"I want eight million, not a penny more. And I will move out as soon as possible."

I felt uneasy taking more money from him. I was afraid that his old illness would relapse and I would have to continue giving him blood transfusions. In that case, the extra seven million would become money to buy my life.

Seeing my resolute attitude, Gu Yanqing became heartbroken and pained again: "Xiao Wan...we truly loved each other, yet you insist on ending things with me..."

"See you tomorrow." I hung up the phone before he could finish his sentimental plea.

I did the math, and I have over ten million yuan on hand now. If I use the company account to apply for a bank loan, I should be able to get another ten million yuan.

This operation is actually unreasonable, but I can't care about that now.

A few years ago, I went to a similar charity auction with Gu Yanqing. Those wealthy tycoons spent money like water, and in order to gain a good reputation, they would often sell items for several times the price of the auctioned items.

If the starting bid for the jade bracelet is around 30 million, then I need to prepare at least 100 million.

One hundred million is an astronomical figure for me...

I went through all the friends I could think of and estimated that I could borrow at most another ten million from them.

But we're still short 70 million.

I had insomnia again that night.

The next afternoon, Gu Yanqing personally drove to the company building to pick me up.

I didn't ride in his Rolls-Royce; I drove my own car to the government center.

There were many people processing the transfer, so we took a number and waited on the side.

Gu Yanqing walked away for a while, and when he came back, he was holding a cup of hot cocoa.

"It's getting colder today, have a hot drink to warm up." He handed it to me, his tone gentle and his expression caring.

I glanced at it and declined, "No thanks, I'm on a diet."

I like hot cocoa, and he catered to my taste, but it was too late.

"You're not fat, why are you trying to lose weight? Health is the most important thing." Gu Yanqing sat down next to me, advising me and handing me a hot drink.

I still didn't answer.

During the stalemate, Gu Yanqing's phone rang.

He took it out, glanced at it, and hung up.

But soon, the phone rang again.

I could clearly sense his impatience. I saw him put down the hot drink and answer the phone.

"What's wrong now?"

"Brother Yanqing, where did you go? I feel so bad, I want to see you..." We were sitting close together, and as soon as Gu Yanqing answered the phone, Jiang Yi's soft voice could be faintly heard.

"I'm at work, and I've been very busy these past few days, as I told you," Gu Yanqing explained.

As I listened, a cold smile crept onto my lips.

So you're already lying and giving evasive answers?

I really feel sorry for Jiang Yi.

"Brother Yanqing, is work more important or me? You have a lifetime to work, but you don't have many days left to spend with me..."

Gu Yanqing patiently reassured him, "Don't be silly, I really have something to do."

"I'm making a scene? Gu Yanqing, do you think I don't know you're with Jiang Wan? How many times have you lied to me? You said you wouldn't see her, but you turn around and go to see her again!"

Jiang Yi's sudden outburst of emotion startled me, who was sitting next to her.

I was taken aback, turned to look at Gu Yanqing, and then looked around.

Sure enough, Jiang Yi arrived!

My head buzzed, and I knew something was wrong.

It's not that I'm afraid of her or feel guilty, but rather that she's become too erratic these days, acting without any regard for the consequences.

The online attacks against me have only just subsided, and I don't want her to cause trouble and get back on the trending topics list.

"Let's call it a day. You comfort her and I'm leaving now." Before I finished speaking, I got up and left the service hall from the other side.

Even though I tried to settle things peacefully, Jiang Yi had no intention of letting me off the hook.

"Jiang Wan! You stop right there! Why are you running away after stealing someone else's husband!" Jiang Yi's sharp, piercing roar suddenly rang out, startling everyone in the dark hall.

Everyone looked up and around, wondering what had happened.

"Come and chase me if you dare!" I waved at Jiang Yi from a distance, a smile on my face, clearly a provocation.

"Jiang Wan!" Jiang Yi became even more furious and rushed forward like a headless fly.

"Jiang Yi, stop making a scene. I only met with Jiang Wan to handle the house transfer procedures. Didn't you want me to sever ties with her as soon as possible? Divorce requires the division of property first." Gu Yanqing quickly hugged Jiang Yi around the waist and hurriedly explained to her.

When I heard this, a cold laugh ran through my mind, filled with utter contempt.

This scumbag was all sweet talk to me one second, and the next second he was telling his new lover that he wanted to cut ties with me.

I never knew that people who have been in love for many years could have the potential to become movie stars.

"Then why did you lie and say you were at work? Every time I asked you to come with me, you said you were busy. If I hadn't come with you today, I would still be in the dark! You even bought her drinks! You care about her so much and she still says I'm overthinking it?"

Jiang Yi was indeed not easily fooled.

She must have realized that Gu Yanqing was somewhat regretful and was frequently trying to win me over, which is why she became so hysterical.
