Zhou Wen also admitted that she had delayed by two days this month.
But the interest rate is so high, it's terrifying.
She never expected that this man surnamed Gu would use such a method to deal with her.
Gu Hai then noticed Zhou Wen's embarrassment and slowly lit another cigar to savor it.
"So? Can you still be so confident this time, saying you can pay it all back in one go?"
"Mr. Gu, you're really going too far. Besides, this money is quite old, and I can pay it back in one lump sum. That way, you won't have any worries, right?"
Zhou Wen knew that it was impossible to confront Gu Hai head-on.
So she tried to reason with him, but Gu Hai just wouldn't listen.
That's why they say the words of beautiful women always carry weight.
"Of course I hope you can pay off this loan completely, but if you do, we'll lose another regular customer. Do you think I'd let this opportunity slip by so easily?"
Zhou Wen thought Gu Hai was going to compromise, but it turned out she was overthinking things.
She underestimated this man surnamed Gu once again.
Zhou Wen was so angry that she wanted to fight Gu Hai to the death, but then she realized that it wasn't very realistic.
I came here alone today, and if something really happens to me...
Thinking to myself: What exactly does this guy surnamed Gu want! He's just taking advantage of the high interest rates.
She was also worried about Zhou Ruan and Ruila Cafe.
Besides, he only has one younger sister, how could he bear to leave her alone?
The reason I hadn't paid off the debt before was because I genuinely didn't have the money or the ability to do so.
Now that I have the ability to pay off all the debts, I no longer have the opportunity.
Gu Hai makes a living off interest, so naturally he wouldn't let this big fish get away.
He said the same thing a year ago, and he said it again today.
"Mr. Gu, I'll give you double the interest, and I'll pay back this debt tomorrow. That'll include everything I've owed before. What do you think of these terms?"
Zhou Wen gritted her teeth, thinking that she could still earn the money back.
The most important thing now is to get rid of this guy surnamed Gu.
It's easy to say but difficult to do in practice.
Gu Hai, of course, did not intend to let Zhou Wen off so easily.
Soon, Gu Hai paused, his hand holding the cigar in his mouth, as he made a plan.
“I’m not considering such a deal. If I let you go, wouldn’t I just lose all the remaining interest?”
Gu Hai, being so astute, naturally considered these things as well.
Zhou Wen wants to pay off all his debts in one go this time, so there probably won't be any further contact between them.
At least they are still in contact. Hearing this, Zhou Wen became even angrier, and her anger lingered for a long time.
However, given the current situation, she cannot directly erupt.
Right now, all we can do is endure it; there's no other way.
"Mr. Gu, you have so many customers, why would you care about just one of them?"
Zhou Wen tried to calm herself down, thinking that if she lost her temper, it could cause a huge mess.
"How could I not care about this one? Besides, you know what I'm thinking. I already informed you a year ago."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wen was suddenly startled.
Why are we bringing this up again? She already clearly refused before.
What she didn't expect was that Gu Hai hadn't given up yet.
Compared to those around her, Zhou Wen's beauty is second to none.
So it's perfectly normal for people to have feelings for her.
Zhou Wen knew that Gu Hai was only after her beauty, and she was certain of that.
Gu Hai was just an ordinary suitor, and Zhou Wen could have directly rejected him. But now, the two are in a creditor-debtor relationship.
A clear refusal isn't that simple.
Although Gu Hai wasn't the kind of old man who was extremely eccentric, he was quite cunning.
He is certainly young and promising, but it's a shame that he's wasting his energy on things he shouldn't be doing.
On the surface, he manages an underground winery, but in reality, he's involved in loan sharking.
If they get caught, they won't be able to escape so easily.
"Mr. Gu, there are plenty of young and beautiful women out there. Why are you only targeting me? Besides, I still owe you a debt. Is that why you won't let me go?"
Zhou Wen also couldn't understand the reason behind this.
She really didn't understand why Gu Hai wouldn't let her pay off the debt.
Is it just because he's attracted to her beauty?
After hearing this, Gu Hai's cold and stern eyes softened with tenderness:
"As long as you don't pay it all back, you can stay by my side forever."
"I can keep you firmly in my grasp. Actually, I don't care much about money. You know I'm not short of money."
"If you agree, I can completely stop asking for that money and even give you back everything you paid back before."
Hearing about his terrifying thoughts, Zhou Wen couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
Since the day the deal was made, she hadn't heard Gu Hai say much.
Did she ever imagine that Gu Hai had always harbored such thoughts?
This is pure paranoia; he wants to keep her by his side.
The last few words touched Zhou Wen's heart, but she knew that once she followed Gu Hai...
She certainly wouldn't have a good life, and besides, she's not the kind of woman who would bow down for money.
Gu Hai was indeed very handsome and dashing, but he was not her type at all.
There's no point in forcing something you don't like.
“Mr. Gu, I don’t need your pity. I will pay back everything I owe you, but you’re not giving me a chance at all. Isn’t that a bit too unfair?”
Zhou Wen knew the situation was beyond repair, but she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue talking.
We can only pretend that what Gu Hai just said was all bullshit.
Otherwise, it would definitely not work to continue talking about that topic.
Seeing that Zhou Wen had changed the subject, Gu Hai didn't press the matter further and resumed his indifferent expression.
"Putting all that aside, based on your current financial situation, can you pay off all my debts and interest?"
"Of course you can. Since I've come here today to say this, it means I already have a good idea of what's going on. I believe you can pay it back. Even if it's a loan, Mr. Gu, you can rest assured and accept it. At least the money you got from it was definitely from a clean source."
Gu Hai naturally sensed the ambiguity in Zhou Wen's words, but what she said wasn't wrong.
He admits this, if it were someone else saying it.
There will definitely be some hardship involved.
