Tang Youyou spent the night in a state of unease. Fortunately, the two children stayed at the villa halfway up the mountain. Otherwise, her fearful and worried appearance would have been seen through by her keen son.
Just when Tang Youyou was scared out of her wits, Ji Yueze didn"t get a good night"s rest.
He had a terrifying dream. In the dream, his elder brother scolded him with a pained face, asking him why he s.n.a.t.c.hed away the woman he loved. In the end, he even jumped off a cliff because he felt too much guilt and remorse.
A cold wind blew past his ears. Ji Yueze blamed himself and felt guilty. He thought to himself, "Just die like this. It"s fine if it"s over."
When he woke up, Ji Yueze realized that he was still lying in his hotel room. He felt cold because the windows weren"t closed tonight.
Ji Yueze pushed his neat short hair away in a
oyance. He stood in the bathroom mirror and looked at his pale face that was showing due to lack of sleep. Where did his overweeningly arrogant self go?
Why was he showing only negativity and negativity now? And decadence.
This was definitely not like him anymore, Ji Yueze slapped him hard in a
oyance.
Wake up, things are getting out of hand. If he doesn"t think of a way to remedy the situation, then maybe his brother and Tang Youyou won"t be on good terms either. What should he do about those two cute little nephews? What should he do with the two old men who were worried about him?
Previously, he felt that there was a burden on his shoulders, but now, the psychological burden was pressing down on him until he was unable to breathe.
Just when Ji Yueze was feeling dejected, he heard a knock on the door.
Ji Yueze walked over with extreme a
oyance. When he looked through the peephole, he saw a similarly tired little face.
It was Bai Yiyan!
This d.a.m.nable woman, why hasn"t she left yet?
Ji Yueze opened the door in a
oyance, and looked down at her condescendingly with a face full of disdain: "Why are you still hanging around here? Didn"t I tell you to scram first? "
"Boss Ji, I told you yesterday that I don"t have a single cent on me, so how am I going back?!" You"re the one who went all the way. In any case, I"ll be your subordinate from now on. How about you give me a bit more money so I can buy a plane ticket back? I promise, I"ll do whatever you want me to do in the future. " Bai Yiyan was a girl who was born to be lively and optimistic, not to mention her thick skin. She did not regard her pride and dignity as more important than her life.
"Heh, to become like this, you still have the face to become my subordinate?" Ji Yueze really despised her scoundrelly expression. He had always thought that women were self-respecting and would never take the initiative to ask others for help or borrow money.
Bai Yiyan saw that Ji Yueze had already put all his disgust on his face, so she could only turn around dejectedly and say, "Alright, I"ll think of a way to return home!"
Ji Yueze thought that she would continue to beg him. Unexpectedly, after being mocked by him, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Ji Yueze suddenly said.
Bai Yiyan"s beautiful eyes instantly lit up. She anxiously turned around and looked at him expectantly. "Boss, are you going to help me out of kindness?"
"Didn"t you just say that as long as I"m willing to give you money, you"ll agree to anything?" A hint of darkness and craftiness flashed across Ji Yueze"s dark eyes.
Just a moment ago, he was frustrated to the point that he didn"t know how to deal with his elder brother"s investigation. But now, looking at the face that desperately needed help, he seemed to have found a pretty good solution.
"Is that so? Did I say that? " Although she was in a hurry to use the money, she didn"t have no bottom line. If this man"s conditions were something she could do, then she would naturally agree to it. If he asked for an outrageous amount of things, then she must reject.
When Ji Yueze saw her blinking eyes, he knew that this woman was actually quite smart and knew how to act dumb.
"Coincidentally, I have something that requires your help. If you can agree, I"ll pay you an additional 500,000!" Ji Yueze did not want to beat around the bush, because this matter was really urgent. He had to get her permission as soon as possible.
"Five hundred thousand?" Bai Yiyan spread open her five fingers as her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. "So much money! You"re not asking me to sell myself to you, are you?!"
Ji Yueze couldn"t help but roll his eyes. Why was this woman so forward in her thinking? She immediately thought of this matter.
"That"s pretty much what I meant, but don"t worry, I won"t touch you. I just want you to pretend to be my girlfriend!" Ji Yueze explained coldly.
"Be your girlfriend? Are you kidding? Weren"t you always changing girlfriends? Oh... Wait, don"t you already have a woman you like? "That woman is ??"
"Shut up!" Ji Yueze"s face instantly looked as if he was falling into a storm. He was gloomy and unsightly, and angrily rebuked her with a sharp voice: "If you dare to say another word, do you believe that I won"t let you see tomorrow"s sun!"
Bai Yiyan was so scared that her entire body s.h.i.+vered. Oh G.o.d, this man"s expression was so scary. It was as if he was really going to eat someone.
Since this was his taboo, she would try her best not to touch it in the future.
"Alright, I won"t bring it up again. Can you stop looking at me like that? I"m scared." Bai Yiyan immediately put on an obedient expression and begged him.
Ji Yueze saw that she finally remembered, so he asked with a cold voice, "Then do you want to accept my condition?"
"Five hundred thousand ??" Isn"t that a bit too little! " Bai Yiyan was not an honest girl. Her daily life had allowed her to be very tactful.
She was also good at judging people"s expressions. Seeing that Ji Yueze seemed to care a lot about this matter, she took the opportunity to raise the price.
"One million!" Is that enough? " Ji Yueze was fuming because of her. He had never seen a greedier woman than her. 500,000 was not even that much? It wasn"t like he really wanted her to contribute her body.
"Enough, enough!" Bai Yiyan didn"t expect her dream to come true just by testing the waters and raising the price. She was overjoyed.
Ji Yueze saw that she was getting what she wanted and immediately regretted it. Why did he choose this woman to act for him?
But if he didn"t choose her, there was no other woman to choose from.
Furthermore, she knew about what he had done to Tang Youyou. If she could keep this woman by her side, she could at least keep her mouth shut and not speak carelessly.
Bai Yiyan thought about how she had so much money in her account and stars flew in her eyes. She quickly asked, "Then let"s talk about the details of the collaboration in detail!"
