Knowing that Jiang Hua had no other choice, Gu Yiming kindly said, "Actually, I can agree to help you, but there are conditions. It depends on whether you agree or not."
"It's very simple. You have to agree to be my woman and be with me, and then I can help you deal with the Jiang family."
After hearing Gu Yiming's words, Jiang Hua had no choice but to lower her head and consider whether or not to agree to his request.
Jiang Hua genuinely didn't know whether she should agree to Gu Yiming's request. In the past, she would never have agreed, but the current situation left her no choice. All she wanted now was to escape the Jiang family and stop suffering those injustices, so it seemed she had no choice but to agree.
A man like him, it's obvious he won't have much feeling for a woman. Maybe after a while he'll lose interest in her, and she can get rid of all this and live her own life. She'll agree to him for now and deal with the future later. But she never imagined that leaving later wouldn't be as easy as she thought.
"Haven't you thought it through yet? How about we talk it over properly so you can trust me?" Gu Yiming looked at Jiang Hua, who had been keeping her head down, unable to guess what she was thinking. He figured he might have been too hasty earlier, so he suggested that the two of them have a proper talk and clarify things.
Jiang Hua felt he was mocking her and immediately said, "Okay, let's talk. I need to know if you really will help me. What if you're lying to me?"
“Alright, since you think so, I think we really need to talk. Although my conditions are simple, they are not easy to fulfill. You need to know how to do it. Let’s go to your place; it’s close by.” Jiang Hua knew she wouldn’t agree easily, especially since his approach just now was wrong. He certainly wouldn’t agree so quickly now, but he would make her agree.
Jiang Hua was surprised that he would suggest going to her house to talk. Unable to figure out what he was thinking, she immediately refused, saying, "No way. Who talks in someone else's house? Besides, our relationship isn't at the point where you can come to my house. Let's go to the bar instead."
"Why can't it be your house? Do you have some secret you're hiding? Fine, I won't go to your house then. I'll listen to you and go to the bar. We'll have a proper talk then." Gu Yiming was inexplicably angry when Jiang Hua said that their relationship wasn't close enough for him to go to her house. He wanted to ask her what their relationship was.
But thinking about what happened to her today, which made her feel extremely bad, I thought I would go along with her this time and suggest going to a bar instead.
"Alright, let's get in the car and go to a nearby bar. We'll talk this out properly." Gu Yiming turned to the driver's seat, turning back to let Jiang Hua follow.
Jiang Hua got into the car with a heavy heart. Gu Yiming was quite displeased by her appearance, but Jiang Hua didn't bother to pay him any attention. The two remained silent the whole way, and the car soon arrived at a nearby bar.
The two entered without much noise, which Jiang Hua assumed meant it had just opened recently. Before Jiang Hua could decide what drinks to order, Gu Yiming naturally ordered them for her.
Perhaps knowing she was in a bad mood today, and that coming to the bar was, to put it nicely, to talk things out, but to put it bluntly, to drown her sorrows, the drinks ordered for her weren't very strong, so she wouldn't get so drunk that she couldn't be woken up.
Jiang Hua saw that Gu Yiming had already ordered drinks for her, and since she could drink any kind of alcohol, she didn't stop him.
As soon as the waiter brought their drinks, before Jiang Hua could even pick one up, Gu Yiming poured her a glass. Jiang Hua glanced at him without saying anything. Whatever, it wasn't like she asked him to pour it; it was easier for her if someone else did.
"Another cup, please." Jiang Hua finished her drink in a few gulps, and Gu Yiming didn't say anything, just filled her cup to the brim. After five or six cups, Jiang Hua said, "As long as I agree to be your woman, you really will help me get rid of those schemes and won't lie to me."
Gu Yiming was quite amused by Jiang Hua's drinking, secretly thinking that she was rather cute, and that she might be even more interesting when she was drunk. "Of course, you have to promise me you'll help me."
After downing another glass, Jiang Hua didn't reply to Gu Yiming's words, but poured herself another glass of wine: "I really hate myself. My life is so miserable. I'm actually being schemed against and sold by my own family."
Gu Yiming was unmoved by her self-deprecating tone and remained silent, still looking at her calmly, knowing that she was venting her dissatisfaction under the influence of alcohol.
Jiang Hua looked away and said to herself, "I was sold off. Luckily, I was smart enough to find a way to escape, but in the end, I still lost my virginity. What's worse is that I was threatened by you, Gu Yiming. No, it's a despicable person like you who threatened me. I agreed to your conditions. Gu Yiming, can't you stop threatening me? You bastard, shameless."
Gu Yiming is really a despicable person. He knows how to threaten me and make me have no choice but to agree to his conditions. However, if I can really avoid being schemed against by the Jiang family, then it will be worth it.
Gu Yiming didn't care what she said; he remained silent and didn't argue back. He let her keep cursing, knowing that once she had enough, she would stop and agree to his request.
Jiang Hua saw that she had said enough, and since Gu Yiming didn't refute her or get very angry, she felt there was no point in continuing. So she stopped talking, thinking to herself that it wouldn't be good if she kept going and made him angry and then he changed his mind.
However, Gu Yiming, seeing that Jiang Hua had stopped venting and no longer complaining, smiled and said, "What's wrong? You're not going to keep cursing? I'm listening. Don't worry, I'm not angry. Keep cursing. We'll talk after you've vented."
When Jiang Hua heard him say this, she realized that he had just been watching the show and hadn't paid any attention. She was glad that he had been afraid that he would change his mind and not help her, and she also realized that she had cursed him a few more times.
Too lazy to pay him any more attention, Jiang Hua poured herself a glass of wine and went to drink it, completely ignoring him. Gu Yiming just smiled and didn't say anything.
Seeing her put down her empty glass and keep pouring herself more, he poured himself some wine, clinked his glass against hers, and said, "So, how's it going? Can we talk properly now? What have you thought about it? Will you agree?"
"Okay, I agree to your conditions and be your woman, but you also have to agree to help me get rid of the Jiang family's schemes and escape my misery."
