I thought you were a true male virtuous man! You come here to have fun too, don't you?

In the past, I would have already cursed, but now, after being toughened up by life, my brain has learned to control my mouth.

"Yes, boss."

I took a deep breath, forced a standard smile, and opened a bottle of wine, placing it in front of him.

Ignoring Jiang Yichen's expression, I poured wine into everyone's glasses and said with a forced smile, "Since we're all old friends and have known each other for so long, remember to patronize my business next time you come here."

These words immediately created an ambiguous atmosphere in the private room.

Especially those sycophants who used to fawn over me, now they're even more adept at sucking up to Jiang Yichen. They not only took the opportunity to humiliate me from all angles, but even teased me with a wicked smile, "I wonder what kind of business Miss Gu is talking about?"

"Naturally..."

The beverage business hasn't even been exported yet.

He was interrupted by someone who said, "Everyone knows that our Miss Gu was once the bright moon in the sky, but now she's fallen into this quagmire. We certainly won't stand idly by. Don't worry, we'll pay you more than you can get outside."

"Oh really? I heard that back then, Brother Song spent ten million on betrothal gifts alone. You think you can outbid Brother Song?"

"A fallen phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken. Why don't we brothers chip in and buy her? Let's keep the good stuff in the family."

I know my words are ambiguous, and I can also hear the malice in their words.

But I thought that even if people didn't care about the Gu family, they wouldn't make things too difficult for me because of Jiang Yichen.

But Jiang Yichen's gaze swept over me, as if he didn't care at all.

Seeing his attitude, the crowd grew bolder. Some were no longer satisfied with just words and not only came over to touch me inappropriately, but also said some vulgar things about wanting to inspect the goods.

If it were in the past, I would have slapped him already, but I know things are different now.

The consequences of offending these people are beyond my ability to bear.

The situation was on the verge of spiraling out of control...

Song Le finally stepped forward and waved his hand, saying, "It's rare for everyone to get together like this. I'll cover everything tonight. Everyone can drink whatever they want and order whatever they want. Don't be shy with me."

As he spoke, he winked at me.

He truly is my ex-fiancé!

I was so moved that tears welled up in my eyes, and I quickly chimed in, "Brother Song is so generous and generous, I truly admire you. I'll take you to the front desk to swipe your card and upgrade you to a lifetime membership at our club."

As I spoke, I dodged those groping hands like a water snake, slithered to his side, and took his arm.

Those opportunists who wanted to take advantage of me were unwilling, but they could only turn their lewd gazes to others.

I trembled slightly and shrank to Song Le's side as I walked to the door. Just as I was about to open it, I heard that mocking yet chilling voice behind me, "In Tongcheng these days, who gives you the right to be the host?"

I almost instinctively shook off Song Le's arm.

Song Le wasn't surprised at all. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been granted a pardon, and turned around to smile, "Then naturally I can't steal President Jiang's thunder, did everyone hear that?"

As she spoke, she naturally pushed me toward Jiang Yichen, while she herself strolled toward the door.

Before I could react, I was back in the center of the private room.

Those lewd gazes directed at me finally came to their senses, and seeing that Song Le had left, they all fled the private room as if escaping.

"Dare to move?"

Jiang Yichen glanced at me, his eyes carrying a chilling, ambiguous smile.

I stood frozen in place, shaking my head mechanically. "I dare not move. What are your orders, Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Yichen's gaze darkened, and the sound of his empty wine glass slamming onto the table was particularly crisp. "Song Le can do it, but I can't?"

What kind of nonsense is this?

My rusty brain took a while to process before I realized I had misheard. I quickly waved my hand and said, "Hey! As long as President Jiang doesn't retaliate against me, I'll be satisfied. I didn't expect you to save me at all."

I was telling the truth, but the truth seemed a little unpleasant to hear, and Jiang Yichen's face darkened even more after hearing it.

What a cruel twist of fate...

Since he's seen me at my worst, I guess I'll just have to give up and stop pretending.

I lay on the sofa in a defiant manner, spread my hands, closed my eyes, and said, "Mr. Jiang, I've known you for a long time. You're a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong, all bark and no bite. I was the one who bullied others in the past. I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me."

"Do you think I did it on purpose just now?"

"Isn't it?"

I sighed with my eyes closed, "We've been husband and wife for a while now, and it's not like I just met you yesterday."

Jiang Yichen was silent for a moment, then repeated his initial question, "Do you regret it?"

Regret!

The intestines are all regretful!

I jumped up from the sofa, trying to rummage through my barren brain for words to express my apology.

However, the news of his engagement kept popping into his mind and wouldn't go away.

I nodded to him and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Of course I regret it. If I had known you were this powerful, I wouldn't have messed with you."

"You like Song Le?"

Jiang Yichen lit another cigarette, and for some reason, I felt that his voice was a little tense.

I thought to myself, if I liked him, why would I have run away from my wedding and slept with you? But thinking about it carefully, considering what I did to Jiang Yichen in the past, if I were to say that it was liking him, I would slap myself in the middle of the night.

Besides, his white moonlight has come back now...

I'd better not jump, I'm a monster.

I lay back on the sofa, my mind racing with a thousand thoughts, and finally let out a soft sigh, "I was too young back then."

If I had honestly married Song Le and hadn't provoked Jiang Yichen, that plague god, maybe my family wouldn't have gone bankrupt?

Or if you get married, just settle down, take good care of this big shot, and keep him happy...

Maybe my family can be saved now?

Forget it! I can't think about it...

An inexplicable sense of self-blame and guilt welled up in my chest, making me somewhat irritable. There's no turning back once the arrow is released; there's no going back in life.

It's too late to say anything now.

I got up and walked towards the door, but Jiang Yichen grabbed my wrist. "I'm giving you one last chance. If you really go and sell yourself into prostitution, I won't take a single penny from you."

He stared intently at me, his eyes burning with passion, like a shooting star falling from the night sky.

My heart trembled violently, as if I were standing before the giant wheel of fate, facing the whispers of the devil.

I took a deep breath. "How much are you offering?"

"Fifty million."

Okay, I admit my heart was captivated.

Despite the few remaining bits of reason in my mind urging me to run, my body remained frozen in place.

Anyway, with debts weighing us down, I can't just stand by and watch my old parents risk their lives on construction sites, and my brother drop out of school to deliver food.

I silently repeated "It's all for money" three times in my mind, then nodded happily and said, "Okay, what's your price?"
