He'd clearly come here today to break up with Yu Man, so she should be the one feeling the pain. If he told her now that he was also using her as a replacement, wouldn't that make everything just as he wished? Yu Man wouldn't insist, and might even breathe a sigh of relief, saying goodbye to him gracefully.
What is he hesitating about?
No, he couldn't let Yu Man leave him so easily. Even if she was a substitute, he had to say it was over before it could end.
Ji Li regarded all these strange emotions as the desire for control. He felt a little relieved. Looking at Yu Man's guilty expression, he deliberately said, "So you treat me as a substitute. You coax me when the real boss is not around, and kick me out when the real boss comes?"
When Su Man heard what Yu Man said when she found out that she was a stand-in, she almost couldn't hold it in. This is what they call, karma has its own way, no one can escape it.
Those who are bad will always be treated as bad by others.
"I...I didn't mean that." Yu Man lowered her head, looking ashamed.
Seeing this, Ji Li sneered, "You dare not admit it? If you want to leave, I won't stop you, but you have to pay back the gambling debts I helped your brother pay off over the years."
"Gambling debt?"
Yu Man was surprised, "What gambling debt?"
Ji Li felt like he had something on her, and he was back on top. He said proudly, "Your brother has been gambling at my casino, and I've always paid back what he owed. Oh, and I heard last night that his former creditors came knocking on our door. If they hear that I'm done with him, do you think they'll cut off one of his arms or one of his legs?"
Yu Man's expression suddenly turned into horror. "No, no, I beg you, please save my brother."
Ji Li watched Yu Man's collapse with a calm demeanor, a kind of satisfaction that came from watching an escaped prey fall back into a trap. He was completely unaware that he had been led by Su Man's nose.
Advanced hunters always appear as prey.
Ji Li had no awareness of being a prey and said arrogantly, "Want to save your brother?"
Yu Man seemed frightened and nodded desperately.
"Then you stay at home and don't go anywhere. Otherwise, if you leave this house, I will immediately throw your brother out of my gambling house. Also, don't think of anything else. Only I don't want you, you have no right to leave me." Ji Li's voice was cold and ruthless.
The light in Yu Man's eyes went out.
After Ji Li left, Su Man stood up from the ground. She patted the dust off her butt and said with disdain, "You bastard."
Next, Su Man began to pick out clothes to wear when going out, waiting for the second exciting event of the day.
Why did Ji Li suddenly stop pretending? He had An Yiran to thank. When she returned to China, she immediately sought out Ji Li. After learning he had a girlfriend, she expressed her fear that she might mind, so even though she was back, they still didn't want to interact.
Isn't it the best choice to not tell Ji Li that I'm returning home if I don't want to have any contact? Isn't this like taking off your pants to fart?
Sure enough, the dog-licker Ji Li immediately said, "I will solve it, and we will be the same as before." So there was this scene between Ji Li and Yu Man, "I won't pretend anymore, I am a scumbag and I will show my cards."
The two had a big quarrel and parted on bad terms, but the "kind-hearted" An Yiran asked Yu Man out.
Yu Man just found out that she was a stand-in, so she naturally wanted to see what the real Bai Yueguang looked like, so she accepted the invitation.
Unlike the sarcastic and cynical person she imagined, An Yiran was carefree and free-spirited, and promised her that she would never like Ji Li. The naive Yu Man fell for it and actually regarded her as a good friend, until reality taught her a lesson.
Su Man was trying on clothes in front of the mirror. Just when she had put together the whole set, An Yiran called.
"Yu Man, right? I'm An Yiran."
After An Yiran finished speaking, she waited for her reaction. After all, Ji Li had been home for a long time, and Yu Man must know who she was now.
But unexpectedly, Yu Man on the other side was not only calm, but also asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
An Yiran frowned. What was going on? Didn't Ji Li say he wanted to explain everything to Yu Man and break up with her?
She asked tentatively, "Ji Li never mentioned me to you?"
"No."
An Yiran didn't know what went wrong. She smiled brightly and said, "It's okay. I'm Ji Li's friend. We grew up together. I wanted to see you when I returned to China. I even asked Ji Li to tell you on my behalf that this guy is not capable at all."
Yu Man smiled cooperatively, "Is that so? Then I really need to meet him, but..."
Hearing her hesitant tone, An Yiran asked, "Is there any problem?"
Yu Man sighed, "Then I'll just tell you, Ji Li just said that he doesn't want me to go out and asked me to wait for him at home."
An Yiran couldn't help but feel suspicious when she heard the barely concealed shyness in Yu Man's voice. Didn't Ji Li say he had no feelings for her? Why was this happening?
She pretended to be indifferent and said, "You still listen to that boy? He is always full of bad intentions. If you listen to him, you will be bullied. Listen to me. If he gets angry, I will take care of it for you."
Yu Man was still a little hesitant, "I just accidentally sprained my ankle."
"What's the matter? I'll pick you up."
After getting the answer she wanted, Su Man sent a text message to Ji Li.
"Just now, a Miss An said she is your friend and wants to meet me. She has come to pick me up. It's not good not to go. Come over after you finish."
Su Man was not worried at all that Ji Li would stop her. His brother was coming back today, and even if he disliked the Ji family, he had to go back for dinner.
As Su Man left the community, she saw a jeep parked on the side of the road. An Yiran got out of it. She was wearing a tight belly-exposing top and overalls underneath. She looked very cool and was waving to her enthusiastically.
