"Of course he wouldn't abuse me. He loves money so much, sending me to the hospital would cost a fortune. He's not stupid! At least he wouldn't be as inhuman as you!"
Long Tingwei was trembling all over. He realized that his bad behavior had unknowingly made her hate him to such an extent that anyone could easily outshine him.
He gently stroked her face with his fingers, then slid them down to touch the scar on her neck. He choked back tears.
"At the time, I didn't know that you were the one who saved me. I thought it was Ling Yuexue. You never told me either. If I had known it was you, I would have protected you. In this life, I don't want anyone but you."
Please give me a chance to try to understand me, okay? Instead of living a muddled life with a stranger, why not be with me? At least Grandpa loves you, and he definitely won't stand idly by if you're bullied!
"If you continue living with him, what if he treats you the same way I did? What if he takes enough money from you and then spends it on other women, commits domestic violence, and locks you up?"
Jian Mujin was a little scared. She hurriedly pushed Long Tingwei away, "Do you think everyone is like you? I just wanted to see what conditions a man would have to offer to marry a woman like me. I know that only the stupid man in our village would want me. Everyone else would despise me!"
Jian Mujin spoke as if she didn't care, but her eyes were red.
Long Tingwei panicked. He carefully wiped away her tears and held her in his arms.
"I know I've done a lot of things to hurt you in the past, but I've never looked down on you. The scars on your body are because of me, so how could I possibly look down on you? I'll cherish and love you for the rest of my life!"
"Stop pretending, I don't believe you!" Jian Mujin pushed him away again and went out with a grin on her face.
Once inside, the old man chatted with the man with a smile, while the man's face darkened considerably.
Before Jian Mujin could figure it out, she heard the old man say, "My Dan'er is our precious darling. She's getting married, and as her grandfather, I'm going to give her a house, a car, and an eight million dowry. Dan'er, are you satisfied?"
Jian Mujin's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, "Grandpa, you're so generous! You actually gave me a house, a car, and eight hundred yuan!"
"Cough cough... It's eight million... Sigh, you didn't study hard when you were young, who's going to take care of your secret stash of money now that you're married!"
Jian Mujin chuckled and said that the old man had given too much.
"Grandpa, you're so loyal, don't worry, from now on I'll be your granddaughter. I'll take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die..."
"Cough cough...cough cough..."
Grandpa Long spat out the mouthful of water he was drinking. It was his birthday today, and this girl dared to talk about taking care of him in his old age. She was really rubbing salt in the wound. The Jian family's granddaughter was good in every way, except that she was too heartless!
If she marries into the Long family, that would be fine; if she marries into another family, she'll definitely suffer.
Jian Mujin was overjoyed, thinking the marriage was going to happen, and looked over at him happily, taking his hand affectionately, "Hey, what do you think?"
The man thought for a moment, then quietly asked, "Tell me, do you like going to bars?"
Jian Mujin thought he disliked her for her love of drinking, so after thinking for a moment she said, "After you're with me, I'll never go again!"
She was convinced that with these conditions, he would be overjoyed to marry her. To her surprise, the man suddenly pushed her away and coldly said, "I'm sorry, we're not suitable!"
After saying that, he got up and left. Jian Mujin stared at him blankly, suddenly not knowing what was wrong.
Long Tingwei couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed the man, dragged him out, and gave him a good beating.
Jian Mujin pouted, looking like she was about to cry. "What's wrong? I even paid him money and he still doesn't want me. Am I that despised?"
She rubbed her eyes and leaned closer to Grandpa Long for advice, "Old man, what do you think about me going out and playing the hero to save the damsel in distress? Would he fall in love with me?"
Grandpa Long glanced at her, then lay back in his recliner with an air of nonchalance and said leisurely, "You really can't live without that man?"
"It's not that we absolutely have to have him, but it's such a rare opportunity for someone blind to stumble upon us, wouldn't it be a shame not to give it a shot?"
Grandpa Long really wanted to crack open Jian Mujin's head to see if there was any brain matter left inside.
"He's blind? He's got his own ideas. Do you know why he doesn't want to be with you?"
Why?
The old man shook his head helplessly, "He's just saying that you can't count!"
"I can't count? So what if I can't count? At least I know one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. What does that have to do with not wanting me?"
"It's okay? Do you know how to count money when you're in charge of it? You won't even notice if a million is missing. If there's a million in your account and you don't even notice if a zero is missing, who can live with you?" Old Master Long was just rambling on to her.
Although what Grandpa Long said was true, and she was indeed a math idiot, Jian Mujin still weakly retorted, "Who said I would have a million in the future? Besides, even if I did, I wouldn't care about the money!"
"Don't manage the money, let him manage it? He'll use the money to support his mistresses, what will you spend it on?"
Jian Mujin stomped her feet in anger, "I knew men were all the same!"
"Cough cough..." Can you please not include him in this insult?
When Long Tingwei returned, he saw Jian Mujin lying on the sofa playing on her phone without a care in the world. The old man winked at him, and Long Tingwei smiled.
"Dinner's ready, Egg. Do you like today's food?"
Long Tingwei had the food brought up, and Jian Mujin immediately turned her attention away from her phone.
"It looks delicious, old man, I won't be polite! Oh, by the way, I bought you a birthday present. Look!"
Jian Mujin took a small gadget out of her pocket; it was a roly-poly toy.
Grandpa Long exclaimed, "What a wonderful gift!"
Long Tingwei knew that Jian Mujin liked trinkets, and he had already given his gift to Uncle Ming. When he saw Jian Mujin take out her gift, he took out another wrapped gift box.
Jian Mujin also stared at the object with some curiosity. The old man casually opened it; it was a women's starry sky watch.
The old man gasped. Such expensive luxury items! If Dan'er had good taste, he might like them, but he probably wouldn't!
"Grandpa, do you like it?"
"Like it? I have plenty of watches, this one's everywhere. If I don't like it, I'll just throw it away!"
Jian Mujin immediately took the watch. "If you don't like it, give it to me. You're such a waste, old man. There's a pawnshop on Renzi Street. I usually get a few hundred yuan for the Long family's things there!"
Fearing she would sell it, Long Tingwei immediately fastened the watch to her wrist, covering up her hideous scar.
"It looks good this way, and it covers up the scars. Isn't that great?"
Jian Mujin looked and, sure enough, it was. She grinned and pulled her hand back.
