She simply couldn't believe that Xiang Ciyuan genuinely trusted her and merely wanted to use her account to transfer money...
"No, don't worry, I can write you a guarantee."
"They're involved in gambling, what good is a guarantee? If there's a dispute, it's still..."
Xiang Ciyuan patted her head. "Alright, I'm talking to you nicely. When you're patient, know when to stop. When have I ever lied to you?"
Jiang Yao glanced at him awkwardly, cleared her throat, and pinched her chin. "I lied to you before, but that was before, understand? Last time I asked you to come to the casino with me and said I wouldn't sleep with you, but I still haven't slept with you, have I?"
That's true, but it's also impossible. Jiang Yao said awkwardly, "Is it possible that you've already gotten tired of it and you're no longer interested in me?"
Xiang Ciyuan raised his hand to slap her, but Jiang Yao covered her head and said, "I won't lend it to you. My account only holds funds from my teahouse. The amount on your end is too large. I'm scared."
"Don't be afraid, trust me this once."
Jiang Yao shook her head again, and Xiang Ciyuan was also losing patience. "Cao Mingyuan, get out and close the door."
"ah?"
Jiang Yao's limbs went weak. "Ciyuan, don't forget, I have a heart condition. I was just discharged from the hospital."
"I'll be gentle. You decide what to do: either I use your account to pass it on, or I'll come over every day and sleep with you until you agree."
"Do you believe I'll call the police?"
"Then call the police, and I'll lend you my phone."
Xiang Ciyuan seemed to find her words ridiculous and actually laughed out loud.
Jiang Yao belatedly realized, "I told Nan Zhi that I had told her all this."
“Then tell her that she’s probably even more devastated than I have these past few days. Shen Shixun ran away, and the child is so young, we don’t know where he was taken. If you upset her, she might just jump off a building.”
"She's your sister, how could you..."
"So, which do you choose, one or two?"
Jiang Yao quickly hugged herself, saying, "Don't do anything rash."
"Didn't you used to be eager for me to do whatever I wanted every day? Now you're acting all virtuous and chaste?"
Jiang Yao's nose stung with tears. "Couldn't you have just not come to me about something like this?"
"We're so close, I only trust you. Who else would I turn to?"
Xiang Ciyuan put a hand on her shoulder and said, "Yaoyao, I promise, okay? I promise I'll take full responsibility if anything happens."
"If you can take responsibility..."
Jiang Yao still carries psychological scars when she thinks about what happened back then.
Back then, she was so young, and she was pregnant. All she wanted was to rely on Xiang Ciyuan, thinking that he could protect her and that Liu Wenli and Jiang Yuxin would stop bullying her.
She and Xiang Nanzhi were originally friends, and as sisters-in-law, their relationship should have only gotten better. But it turned out she was just overthinking it!
"Don't bring up what happened before. I was young back then. Even if you had given birth to the child, I wouldn't have felt much. I would have thought the child just fell from the sky and had nothing to do with me."
Jiang Yao had never seen anyone speak so clearly and elegantly before. She leaned her cheek against Ciyuan's and said, "Trust me this once, okay? I'll give you a cut?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yao asked, "How much?"
How many do you want?
Jiang Yao held up a number, "Two dots."
No one in the world doesn't love money. If it came from a legal casino, then two points is not a small amount. The fact that Xiang Ciyuan didn't directly force her means that the transfer was relatively safe.
laugh--
Xiang Ciyuan really didn't expect that he could forget her love of money and go to so much trouble.
"I assure you, it's absolutely safe, there won't be any financial disputes. This is all my money, do you understand?"
Jiang Yao thought that Xiang Ciyuan was unwilling to give her a cut. "Nothing is absolutely safe. If you don't give me a cut, I won't agree. Even if you sleep with me every day, I still won't agree."
"Sleep with you every day? Dream on."
Jiang Yao: ...
"Why should I exert myself to make you feel good?"
Jiang Yao: ...
Xiang Ciyuan lit a cigarette, took a puff, glanced at her, and put it out. "Okay, I'll give you two points, deal."
Jiang Yao's pounding heart finally calmed down. She smiled at Ciyuan, got up and left, saying, "By the way, you should go to the hospital more often. Don't get money but not live to enjoy it."
"Don't worry, I value my life very much."
No matter what happened, Jiang Yao never thought of suicide. She wanted to live; she had congenital heart disease and wanted to live more than anyone else.
——
Since arguing with Xiang Zhengyi, Xiang Nanzhi's life has become completely peaceful, and he rarely goes back to the old house unless necessary.
Now, only Xiang Jingyi is willing to go back to the old house to check on the old man's condition.
Xiang Zhengyi had been sick for more than half a month and had barely recovered. He made a special trip to the jujube forest to find her. He first went to the antique market, but couldn't find her.
Shazaolin Xiang Nanzhi was talking to Sun Xing. She enjoyed chatting with this old entrepreneur; each conversation brought her something new and her soul was uplifted.
"To the Chairman."
Sun Xingxian saw him, and Xiang Nanzhi turned around to see that Lao Ma had come with his father.
The jujube grove is already green. All things have a spirit; sensing the water and sunlight, they strive upwards.
"Dad, I'm a little angry. I'm angry that you never discuss anything with me."
He felt deeply ashamed before justice; all he wanted was for his daughter to be happy and free from these troubles, so that she could only see the good things.
“I knew a long time ago that Mom had a difficult childbirth. I was actually resentful at the time because you never told me the truth all these years. But some things happen, and I would have known even if you hadn’t told me.”
