I was stunned and stared at her blankly.
To be honest, I really didn't think of that!
I could only tell that Gu Yanqing was indeed regretting it, but I never expected that his desire to keep me might have another purpose!
—They used me as a life-saving medicine!
"You didn't even see such an obvious purpose?" Li Yunwei asked, surprised and angry, seeing my blank expression.
I nodded vaguely, "Now I see..."
"You really are..." Li Yunwei was speechless. "You don't understand the bottom line of human nature at all!"
I have no answer. Maybe so.
"However, the most direct reason he tried to win you back was definitely because he couldn't stand Jiang Yi and wanted to find comfort in you."
After looking at the menu and calling the waiter to place the order, Li Yunwei continued, "My aunt told me that Jiang Yi had a fight with him yesterday and scolded him terribly, making the whole department know about it. Jiang Yi is so dramatic, and Gu Yanqing has a spoiled attitude, how could he possibly tolerate it?"
I was somewhat surprised to hear this, but upon reflection, it was within my expectations.
"No wonder he went on a business trip. Besides deliberately delaying the divorce, he was probably also trying to avoid Jiang Yi." I suddenly realized, thinking to myself, "He's finally gotten what he deserves."
They're newlyweds, shouldn't they be all lovey-dovey and inseparable?
They actually started making a huge scene and made excuses to avoid seeing me.
It's true that evil people will always be punished by other evil people.
“I think so too. But Jiang Yi, that kind of green tea bitch, is the best at manipulating men. Once she calms down, she plays the victim and can coax a man back in no time with a few sweet words.” Li Yunwei, an expert at spotting green tea bitches, said knowledgeably.
"I don't care, I'd love for them to be locked in a relationship." That's my honest opinion.
Li Yunwei glanced at me, her expression somewhat doubtful. "Are you sure you can really resist if Gu Yanqing comes back to beg for peace?"
I immediately straightened up and said righteously, "Of course! He treated me so badly. If I were to get back together with him, I would be laughed at to death by the outside world. People would think I'm crazy for men."
"Besides... you said it yourself, he might not have changed his mind because he loves me. He just thinks I'm more cost-effective than Jiang Yi, and that I can save his life in a critical moment."
I've figured it out. Gu Yanqing is the kind of person who loves no one but himself.
Being with this kind of man is like digging your own fire pit; you're always on the verge of being swept away by the flames and reduced to ashes.
Li Yunwei was relieved. "It's good that you're firm in your stance. If you don't have enough money for the divorce, tell me and I'll help you find a way."
"Um."
After having dinner with Li Yunwei, I went back to the company to work overtime.
I was busy until 10 p.m. and was about to leave when my aunt called.
"Hey, Auntie..."
My aunt said excitedly, "Xiao Wan, the white jade bracelet your mother sold a few years ago has finally been found!"
"Really?" I exclaimed with delight. "My mom's bracelet has been found? Where is it?"
"At the end of the month, China Guardian Auction House will hold a large-scale charity auction in Shanghai. Among the treasured items is a mutton fat jade bracelet. I'll send you a picture so you can take a close look. My grandmother and I both think it's the one."
"good!"
After I hung up the phone, my aunt sent me a picture.
I opened it and took a closer look. I immediately recognized it as the family heirloom that my mother had sold years ago.
When I got home, I carefully reviewed the information and read the professional interpretations of this charity auction. I estimated that the starting price of this jade bracelet would be no less than 30 million.
I was overjoyed and extremely excited, when suddenly a bucket of cold water was poured over me.
Thirty million? Where am I supposed to get so much money?
But this is the most important item my mother left me, and it's also the heartache my grandmother has been holding onto for many years. After searching for so many years, it has finally been found. If I can't buy it back, it will not only be my grandmother's regret, but also my own heartache.
That night, I tossed and turned, racking my brains for ways to raise money.
Two days later, Gu Yanqing returned from his business trip and called me to invite me to dinner that evening.
"No need for dinner, let's just talk on the phone." I knew what he was up to and didn't want to give him the chance at all.
"Xiao Wan, do we have to be so distant with each other? Even if we're just ordinary friends, it's normal to have a meal together occasionally."
I didn't want to answer a word, so I just asked, "Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I'm hanging up."
Just as I was about to hang up, Gu Yanqing finally gave in, "Alright, Xiaowan, I called to talk about the villa. The villa is yours, and we'll go and complete the transfer procedures tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, I frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and replied, "I don't want the villa, you can have it, just give me the money for the renovation and furniture."
I urgently need money; getting a few million is much better than losing over ten million.
Gu Yanqing asked in confusion, "Don't want a villa? Then where will you live?"
