Xie Mingfeng's face darkened. He stared at Jiang Tian for several seconds, then suddenly smiled: "Are you playing hard to get? You know perfectly well that I could never like you. We were just playing around back then. Now I'm just giving you another chance to come back to me."
“When will you be able to achieve true financial freedom by struggling alone in this city? I’ve thought about it. I did treat you a little unfairly in the past few years. I’ll give you some money when you come back, and our relationship should change.”
He didn't explicitly say how he would change, but he didn't like her and still wanted to sleep with her and give her money; the nature of the situation was quite obvious.
Jiang Tian looked at him expressionlessly.
Xie Mingfeng didn't think his suggestion was excessive.
He admitted that he was indeed a little unaccustomed to the sudden absence of someone by his side.
Therefore, he must try to win her back through his own means.
Jiang Tian wasn't very pretty, and she wasn't young either. She didn't have any qualities that made her a good match for him. Although he couldn't let her go, he couldn't possibly give her too much.
Xie Mingfeng actually regretted it a little.
The relationship between the two people should have been based on the exchange of benefits from the very beginning; otherwise, so many troubles would not have arisen.
Jiang Tian thought she was quite free, but she actually went out to sleep with other men. He really wanted to ask her what she was thinking.
However, there is still a chance to salvage the situation. If he has enough wealth, he will surely be able to win this woman over.
Jiang Tian was trying to make a living in this city, and he could vaguely sense that she was having a tough time.
So, offering her a shortcut in exchange for her previous meticulous and obedient nature isn't necessarily a losing proposition.
"You think a few hundred thousand is appropriate? Forget it, how about I give you a million a month? But I can only stay with you for a few more months. Once I marry Chen Wanyue, our relationship will be completely over."
Xie Mingfeng would not allow himself to suffer the slightest injustice.
Once Chen Wanyue returned to his side, Jiang Tian was no different from a chicken rib.
He talked to himself for so long, and when he realized that Jiang Tian didn't react at all, his expression became even more unpleasant.
"To be honest, from the very beginning when I met you, I knew you had many flaws, such as being self-centered and not understanding what people were saying. Looking back today, breaking up with you was definitely the right choice."
Xie Mingfeng had already heard several derogatory remarks from Jiang Tian.
Was she like this before?
He had never met the real her, after all, Jiang Tian, who was by his side, had always been the most considerate.
"If my coldness over the past two years has made you resentful, you can vent. But everything should be done in moderation. If you are too fussy, I cannot tolerate you for too long."
Jiang Tian suddenly picked up the wine glass beside her, took a sip, and then slowly said to Xie Mingfeng, "I didn't intend to take your money, so don't overthink it. I can guess that as long as there are no other men around me, you will still consider me your possession. More than whether you like me or not, what annoys you most is my leaving you."
"Since you can't understand human language, I don't need to bother with you anymore, and I don't have time to play house with you. This is the last time I'm reminding you, our relationship is completely over. Whether you give me money or my life, I will never take you back."
"That's the end of the conversation."
Xie Mingfeng noticed the coldness in her eyes.
In fact, Jiang Tian's refusal was already somewhat weak, because she had said everything she needed to say, but Xie Mingfeng wouldn't listen to a single word.
But seeing the look in her eyes, Xie Mingfeng felt a sense of panic.
If she doesn't want the money or the woman, what other bargaining chips does he have left?
Almost instinctively, Xie Mingfeng wanted to pull Jiang Tian away.
However, the next second—
Xie Mingfeng received a resounding slap.
In the distance, the young lady surnamed Liu stared blankly at this scene, too frightened to move forward.
Besides her, her friends were also dumbfounded.
They encouraged Miss Liu to strike up a conversation with Xie Mingfeng, and even accompanied her to embolden her, only to witness this scene.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward and heavy.
Jiang Tian's eyes instantly filled with tears. She pointed at Xie Mingfeng, her hand trembling, "He...he harassed me..."
Upon hearing this, everyone around gasped in shock.
Did Xie Mingfeng harass Jiang Tian?
"Is...is this real?" Miss Liu was completely dumbfounded.
Today is her birthday, and she plans to confess her feelings on this day.
Don't think she didn't know that Xie Mingfeng and Li Qingqing had broken up, which angered Li Qingqing so much that she posted more than a dozen messages on her WeChat Moments cursing him.
Ms. Liu was ready to confess her feelings, but she wasn't ready to accept that her crush was a harasser.
Xie Mingfeng was beaten by Jiang Tian for the second time, and his face was red and swollen.
Jiang Tian showed no mercy whatsoever.
When Xie Mingfeng heard him say that he had harassed her, she felt only absurdity.
He looked at Jiang Tian with a cold smile.
Jiang Tian ignored everyone, covering her face and weeping. After a while, she took a deep breath and said to Miss Liu, "I'm going back now. You guys have fun."
Seeing her about to leave, Miss Liu's sense of justice ignited. Although she liked Xie Mingfeng very much, if he was a harasser, she would never show him any mercy.
"Jiang Tian, don't go! I will seek justice for you. If he really did something to wrong you, then he must apologize to you!"
Shaking her head, Jiang Tian smiled wryly, "I'm sorry, I overreacted just now. I don't need an apology, I just want to leave... Can you allow me to leave?"
Ms. Liu was a little at a loss.
At this moment, a friend next to her said in a malicious tone, "Is it real harassment or fake harassment? Maybe she offended Young Master Xie but couldn't find a way to get away, so she's accusing him of harassment."
"Young Master Xie is surrounded by beautiful women, how could he possibly harass her?"
The man looked at Jiang Tian with disdain.
Jiang Tian gave a wry smile: "I guessed someone would say that, which is why I wanted to leave. It's fine if you don't help me, but could you please stop kicking me when I'm down?"
"What do you mean by kicking someone when they're down? These days, everyone values evidence. You can't produce anything, and you're just making baseless accusations that Young Master Xie is harassing you. Are you saying we can't even have someone say a fair word?"
Jiang Tian nodded: "...I know, it's all my fault anyway, can I leave now?"
"How about we check the security footage and see if we can hear their conversation?" another person suggested tentatively.
"With so many people in the hall, how could anyone hear us?"
The situation seemed to have reached a dead end.
Jiang Tian accused Xie Mingfeng of harassment, but Xie Mingfeng did not respond. With each person giving a different account and no solid evidence to back it up, the matter became increasingly complicated.
Just then, Jiang Chengyu finished talking with Liu's father. He saw Jiang Tian standing there all alone, surrounded by a group of people, and his expression changed.
Without thinking twice, he quickly walked over.
