Chapter 5 What is the asking price?
I thought you were a man of integrity! Wouldn't you come here to play?
If it were in the past I would have cursed a long time ago, but now after the beatings of life, my brain can control my mouth.
"Yes, boss."
I took a deep breath, forced a standard smile, opened a bottle of wine and placed it in front of him.
Without bothering to look at Jiang Yichen's expression, I filled everyone's glasses with wine one by one, and said with a shy smile: "Since we are all old friends and have known each other for such a long time, remember to take care of my business when you come here next time."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the box suddenly became ambiguous.
Especially the few lickers who used to follow me, now licking Jiang Yichen, they are even more proficient, not only took the opportunity to humiliate me in all aspects, but also teased with a wicked smile: "I wonder what kind of business is Miss Gu talking about?"
"Of course..."
The liquor business has not yet been exported.
He was interrupted by someone else who said, "Everyone knows that our Miss Gu was once the bright moon in the sky, but now she has fallen into this muddy pond. We will definitely not stand idly by. Don't worry, the money we give you is definitely higher than what you get outside."
"Really? I heard that Brother Song gave her 10 million just for the betrothal gift. You can still outbid Brother Song."
"A phoenix in the wild is no better than a chicken. Why don't we pool our money together and buy her out so that the wealth doesn't go to outsiders."
I know that my words are ambiguous, and I can hear the malice in their words.
But I thought that even if everyone didn't consider the Gu family's face, they would not make it too difficult for me for Jiang Yichen's sake.
But Jiang Yichen just glanced past me, as if he didn't care at all.
Seeing his attitude, everyone became bolder. Some people were even not satisfied with the word game. They not only came over and touched me, but also said something dirty about wanting to inspect the goods.
If it were in the past, I would have slapped him in the face, but I also know that things are different now.
I cannot bear the consequences of offending these people.
Seeing the situation on the verge of getting out of control...
Song Le finally stood up and waved his hand, saying, "It's a rare opportunity for us all to get together. I'll pay for all the food tonight. You can drink whatever you want and order whatever you want. No need to be polite with me."
He winked at me.
He is worthy of being my former fiancé!
I was so moved that tears were about to come out, and I quickly took over the conversation, "Brother Song is very wealthy, I admire you from the bottom of my heart, I will take you to the front desk to swipe your card and upgrade you to a lifetime membership in our club."
As I said this, I dodged those dirty hands like a water snake, swam to his side, and held his arm.
Although those fence-sitters who wanted to take advantage of me were unwilling to do so, they could only turn their obscene gazes to others.
I trembled all over, huddled beside Song Le and walked to the door. Just as I was about to open the door, I heard a playful and chilling voice behind me, "Is it your turn to host the party in Tongcheng now?"
I almost subconsciously shook off Song Le's arm.
Song Le was not surprised. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned. He turned around and smiled, "Then I can't steal the limelight from Mr. Jiang. Did you hear that?"
As he spoke, he naturally pushed me towards Jiang Yichen, and then walked out the door.
Before I could react, I was back in the center of the box.
Those obscene looks that were directed at me finally came to their senses, and seeing Song Ledu leave, they all fled from the box.
"Dare to move?"
Jiang Yichen glanced at me with a cold look that seemed like a smile.
I stood there like a wooden chicken, shaking my head mechanically, "I dare not move. What do you want, Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Yichen's eyes darkened, and the sound of the empty wine glass hitting the table was particularly crisp, "Song Le can do it, but I can't?"
What kind of nonsense is this.
My rusty brain raced for a long time before I realized that I had heard wrongly. I quickly waved my hands and said, "Well! As long as Mr. Jiang doesn't retaliate against me, I will be satisfied. I didn't expect you to save me at all.
I was telling the truth, but this truth seemed a bit unpleasant to the ear. Jiang Yichen's face turned even darker after hearing it.
What a joke of fate...
Anyway, he has seen me at my worst, so I have no choice but to give up.
I threw myself on the sofa, spread my hands and closed my eyes, saying, "It's not the first day that I've known Mr. Jiang. He's a bully, a coward. I used to bully people by taking advantage of my power. I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with me."
"Do you think I did that on purpose?"
"Isn't it?"
I closed my eyes and sighed, "We are husband and wife after all, and this is not the first day I have known you."
Jiang Yichen was silent for a moment, and then repeated his original question, "Do you regret it?"
Regret!
I regret it so much!
I jumped up from the sofa, trying to find the words to express my apology from my poor brain.
However, the news of his engagement involuntarily emerged in my mind and could not be shaken off.
I nodded at him and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Of course I regret it. If I had known you were so powerful, I would not have provoked you."
"Do you like Song Le?"
Jiang Yichen lit another cigarette. For some reason, I felt that his voice was a little tense.
I thought to myself, if I liked him, why would I run away from the marriage and sleep with you? But when I think about it carefully, based on what I did to Jiang Yichen in the past, if I were to say that I liked him, I would have to slap myself when I wake up in the middle of the night.
Besides, Bai Yueguang is back now...
I'd better stop jumping, you monster.
I lay back on the sofa, with a thousand words in my heart, and then I sighed and said, "I was too young at the time."
If I had married Song Le honestly and not offend Jiang Yichen, the plague god, maybe my family wouldn't have gone bankrupt?
Or if you get married, just live your life peacefully, take good care of this great god, and make him happy...
Maybe my family can be saved now?
Forget it! I can’t think about it…
Inexplicable self-blame and guilt surged into my chest, making me a little irritated. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. There is no turning back in life.
It's too late to say anything now.
I stood up and walked towards the door, but Jiang Yichen grabbed my wrist and said, "I'll give you one last chance. Are you really going to sell yourself and beg for food, and you don't want me to pay you a penny?"
He stared at me with burning eyes, there seemed to be flames in his eyes, and they were like meteors falling from the night sky.
My heart trembled violently, as if I was standing in front of the wheel of fate, facing the whispers of the devil.
I took a deep breath and asked, "How much are you offering?"
"Fifty million."
Okay, I admit that my heart was caught.
Although the little bit of rationality in my mind was telling me to run, my body seemed to be frozen and didn't move at all.
Anyway, I am under great debt now, and I can't just watch my old parents work themselves to death on the construction site, and my brother drop out of school in his prime to deliver food.
I repeated "It's all about money" three times in my mind, and nodded happily: "Okay, what's your price?"
