Chapter 671 Forced
"Zhi Mu, are you so anxious to get rid of me?"
When the topic of divorce was mentioned, Li Jing's expression changed.
Xiang Zhimu had a bad feeling. Li Jing wouldn't break the contract at this time.
Didn’t we agree yesterday to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce today?
If he doesn't divorce me, is he crazy enough to share the five million debt with me?
Xiang Zhimu calmed down, looked at Li Jing coldly and asked, "Li Jing, you are not regretting it, are you? Don't forget, I have a debt of five million now. If you don't divorce me, you have to share the responsibility with me."
"I just told your mother that if you don't divorce, you'll have no choice but to mortgage your Li family's house in Wancheng to the bank and share the debt with me."
Li Jing looked at Zhang Fanghua.
Zhang Fanghua looked at her soft-hearted son and said angrily, "Li Jing, don't be fooled by this woman. She rented the house. You weren't married when she signed the rental agreement with the landlord. Now the house is burned down. According to the contract, it's her pre-nuptial debt. It has nothing to do with you. Don't be so stupid as to be taken advantage of. Five million! You'll never earn that much in your lifetime. Don't forget that you haven't even bought a house in the capital. With the two million you got from selling the house, you might as well just hire a caregiver for your dad. That's cheaper than Xiang Zhimu."
Sure enough, Li Jing and Zhang Fanghua don’t want to divorce now because Li Yue is paralyzed and they want to keep her at home as a free nanny.
She looked at Li Jing silently, wanting to know what he was thinking now.
Li Jing avoided her gaze with a guilty conscience and said, "Zhi Mu, our family is in this situation now. My dad needs someone to take care of him. Why don't we talk it over and not divorce for the time being? Can you help me take care of my dad?"
Xiang Zhimu sneered: "What do you have to negotiate with me? Can you come up with five million to pay off my debt?"
"I have a channel," Li Jing was hurt by Xiang Zhimu's mocking look. He slowly tightened his fists and gritted his teeth, "You can only ask Guan Shinan for money. Your uncle and aunt in the Xiang family can't afford to pay your debts. Guan Shinan is just a small-time actor who barely earns a little more than a white-collar worker. It's impossible for him to come up with five million at once."
Xiang Zhimu mocked with a smile: "You actually understand the situation around me, so go on, what do you want to do."
Li Jing glanced at Zhang Fanghua.
Zhang Fanghua snorted coldly, slammed the door and left in dissatisfaction.
After Zhang Fanghua left, Li Jing looked at Xiang Zhimu and said, "I'll give you a way to make money, and you help me take care of my dad."
Xiang Zhimu stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed, almost crying. "Li Jing, are you so shameless? You want to provide me with a way to make money in exchange for taking care of your dad? Tell me, what is that way?"
He was just giving her an idea to make money. It wasn't like he was lending her five million. He actually wanted to use this method to get her to be a hardworking nanny.
Li Jing rubbed his hands awkwardly, and after she finished laughing, he whispered, "I saw President Leng in the hospital today."
Xiang Zhimu suppressed his mocking smile, looked at him coldly and asked, "The way to make money you mentioned, aren't you asking me to sell myself to Leng Jun?"
This is harsh, but it is the truth.
Five million is not a small amount of money. Leng Jun had mentioned this before. She wanted her to earn so much in a short period of time. Apart from sacrificing her looks, she didn't know how an ordinary woman like her could earn so much in such a short period of time.
"How is it possible? How could Leng Jun like you?" Li Jing subconsciously denied it eagerly.
After realizing that his words were even more hurtful, he immediately apologized to Xiang Zhimu: "I'm sorry, Zhimu, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that Mr. Leng is not that kind of person, and he's your best friend's boyfriend. How could he possibly set his sights on you?"
Xiang Zhimu looked at him expressionlessly: "No need to apologize, I know what kind of person I am. Just tell him what he wants."
Li Jing rubbed his hands nervously again and said, "Do you know about the night banquet?"
Seeing Xiang Zhimu standing there with a pale face, Li Jing immediately explained.
"Don't get me wrong. You're Guan Shinan's friend. President Leng won't treat you unfairly. The night banquet is the Leng family's business. If you're willing to work there, all you have to do is pour wine for the guests. You can earn 100,000 yuan a night. President Leng has promised to have the manager take care of you and not let other guests embarrass you."
Xiang Zhimu had thought of the worst-case scenario, but she didn't expect the situation to be even more disgusting.
I originally thought he just wanted her to sell herself to Leng Jun, but unexpectedly, he wanted her to be a prostitute himself.
Li Jing, ah, Li Jing.
Are you really naive, or do you also think that I am not worthy of your protection and that I deserve to be humiliated by men?
Xiang Zhimu clenched his fists and looked at him with tears in his eyes: "Say it again, Li Jing, do you know what you are saying?"
Li Jing took a step forward and wanted to hold her shoulders to tell her to calm down: "Zhi Mu, there is no distinction between high and low professions. I just want to pour wine, and I won't ask you to do anything else. President Leng also agreed that I can go with you for a few days and protect you there. Don't worry, I..."
“Bang!”
Xiang Zhimu used all his strength, raised his hand and slapped him in the face, making Li Jing, a grown man, take several steps back and almost fall down.
But Li Jing still didn't dare to say anything to her. He just said to her in a low voice: "Calm down. I have already signed the contract for you. I will accompany you to work tomorrow night. If you want me to go to jail, don't go tomorrow night. But if I go to jail, don't even think about divorcing me. When I go to jail, my parents will need you to support them."
“Get out, get out—!”
Xiang Zhimu finally broke down in this marriage. He grabbed a glass from the cabinet and threw it at Li Jing, telling him to get out.
After Li Jing left, she slid down weakly to sit on the edge of the bed, hugging her knees helplessly and crying.
It was her fault.
She met the wrong person and didn't know how to judge people.
That's why your good days turn out like this.
Li Jing had truly loved her before, and he had stepped forward to save her when she was in danger. Why was he pushing her into the fire pit now?
Can young love not withstand the ravages of life?
Li Jing, if I had known this would be the outcome, I would have killed myself. It would have been better than being humiliated by you and Leng Jun like this.
One hundred thousand a day, do you really think I can get it just by pouring wine? Do you think the Leng family is doing charity and can make money to pay off debts for hostesses with a wave of their hands?
Are you too naive or too vicious to force me to this point?
Li Jing stood outside the door for a long time, leaning against the door panel, listening to Xiang Zhimu crying inside, his hands clenched tightly, and tears fell from his eyes.
I'm sorry, Zhimu.
If I don't do this, you will leave me, and we will never be able to pay back such an astronomical figure of five million in our lifetime.
