What should I do?

Once Wu Jie calls the police, Chu Yunxuan will be done for.

The evidence is ironclad, her crime unforgivable.

But…

She really didn’t want to go to prison!

Taking a deep breath, Chu Yunxuan lifted her head and looked at Wu Jie with a burning gaze.

“I know that no matter the outcome, this will have an extremely negative impact on you, but I was blinded by money, foolishly thinking I could entertain crooked ideas and make a fortune!”

Seeing that Wu Jie didn’t make a sound, Chu Yunxuan continued:

“Although my family isn’t tragic, my parents have steady jobs in a small county town, and we never worry about food and drink, the place is just too isolated and backward.

I love the materialistic and bustling big cities, and I want to escape from the backward and remote areas!”

“Maybe I just really wanted to buy a nice house of my own in Tianyuan after years of studying and working.

I’m sick of living in such a small apartment.

I don’t envy those who can easily buy mansions and live in villas.

I just wanted a home for myself!”

“You know how hard it is for young people to live in big cities nowadays!

For those young people without money, power, or connections, they face enormous survival pressure as soon as they graduate!”

“Finding a job is hard, renting a place is hard, and even if you have a job, the rent, utilities, and living expenses are a huge burden!

Promotions and raises aren’t easy, and it’s considered good enough just to cling nervously to your livelihood.”

“Wanting to buy a house and a car to live a good life is even more of a distant dream, especially for students from humble backgrounds.

And some people say that I have the talent and looks, and my figure is great too.

I could totally cling to a wealthy man or hook up with a rich second generation!”

“Under the enormous work pressure, I was tempted, and I saw some colleagues sacrifice their dignity and bodies, only to end up in bad shape.

If rich and powerful men can conquer them, it means they can conquer more beauties!”

“Because they are beautiful and have great figures, because it’s the thrill of the chase, they will pursue persistently and willingly splurge.

But what happens when the novelty wears off?

What if their families find out?

What if they get tired and find someone more beautiful and sexy?”

“Youth and beauty don’t last long, and with makeup and cosmetic surgery techniques so advanced nowadays, an endless stream of younger, more beautiful, and smarter women keep cropping up.

Why would wealthy and powerful men hang themselves on one tree?”

“So, I didn’t want to become their temporary prey, to be discarded after they were tired of me.

That’s why I preferred to earn my own money.”

“Having enough money to decorate a room that pleases me, to live a little more decently and comfortably…

Yet, as it turns out, not only did I do the wrong thing, but I also oversimplified the matter!”

“Do you think I’m particularly filthy now?

Looking at my seemingly glamorous appearance, but inside I’m utterly vile, feeling like I’m no different from those women who sell their bodies for money?

Quite disgusting and even more insidious than them?”

As she said this, Chu Yunxuan looked at Wu Jie with clear eyes.

Wu Jie snorted with a laugh.

“You’ve said so much in one breath, and you’ve even said what I wanted to say.

What else can I say?”

“But what do you mean by this?

Suddenly, you’re not crying for mercy or playing the victim, but instead going into self-deprecation mode.

You’re still hoping in your heart that I’ll forgive you and choose not to call the police so you won’t go to prison, right?”

Alas~

Chu Yunxuan let out a heavy sigh.

“At this point, I dare not ask for your forgiveness, because if I were in your shoes, I would definitely be even more enraged and furious.

I might even beat you up to vent my anger before calling the police!”

“You didn’t hit me, you didn’t choose to call the police right away, or storm out in a rage.

You were already being considerate enough by staying here and listening to me.

So, I thank you for still sitting here and listening to my words!”

Wu Jie scoffed, “Thanks for what?

I just haven’t figured out yet how to deal with you, that’s all!”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Chu Yunxuan quickly smiled and said:

“Actually, you should know that calling the police isn’t the best way to handle this situation!

Because once you call the police and I get arrested, then this matter will become a big deal and soon everyone will know.”

“My reputation will be ruined, and going to jail will be my own doing.

But what about you?

As a married man, coming to an older single woman’s apartment like mine for a date, what will others think?

How will they see you?”

“Even if you present evidence proving that you were set up, people will still think you had an ulterior motive, right?

How will you explain it then to Tang Xiao and the Tang Family of Tianyuan?”

Wu Jie smiled faintly and did not rush to rebut.

Chu Yunxuan’s words were true and hit the nail on the head.

If the matter blew up, Chu Yunxuan’s outcome would be miserable, but it wouldn’t be easy for him either.

Dealing with Tang Xiao was not an issue; whether it was a fake romance or a fake marriage, it didn’t matter how you put it, but explaining things to Tianyuan, the Tang Family, and his own parents, that would be complicated.

Could he just tell them he was only there for a meal?

Jesus!

In the vast expanse of Tianyuan, where could he not have a meal?

Why did he have to go specifically to Chu Yunxuan’s place?

By then, no explanation would be able to clear things up.

So…

Even though he was angry, deep down, Wu Jie didn’t want the situation to escalate.

It was also because he couldn’t think of a better solution for the moment, which is why he hadn’t called the police or stormed off in anger.

Chu Yunxuan was indeed very clever, truly knowing how to play human nature.

Having become a sales director, she must have the judgment to assess the situation at hand.

“Okay, since you’re so sure I won’t call the police and am reluctant to make a big fuss, why don’t you tell me, how do you suggest we resolve this matter?” Wu Jie asked with a cold laugh.

At that moment, Chu Yunxuan changed.

Wu Jie noticed her eyes no longer held sadness and despair but instead sparkled with something different.

This change was probably because of the ‘escaped from great peril, a rebirth after a calamity,’ right?

And Chu Yunxuan…

Inside, she was quite happy.

She knew she had gambled correctly!

Wu Jie would not dare to call the police, and he wouldn’t do so.

As long as she avoided prison, she would be willing to accept any solution!

After all, with no money to her name, other than her body, what could Wu Jie do to her?

Suppressing the thrill of relief in her heart, Chu Yunxuan did not let herself show any joy of having survived a desperate situation.

On the contrary, she spoke with sincere tone:

“I did something wrong and caused you great harm.

Apologies and forgiveness are utterly pointless now!

For now, the only compensation I can offer you is a fair-priced property.”

“I won’t take a penny in commission, and I’ll help you buy those four properties and the sales office for the price of 350 million.

I believe you’ve wanted to buy them for a long time, knowing well the rare location and the luxury mansions have great potential for appreciation.”

“And that sales office, whether for your own use or to rent out, could yield a good return.

The only reason you, who wants to buy at the lowest price, have hesitated to agree is because you’re trying to push the price as low as possible!”

Wu Jie nodded slightly and said, “You’re smart, and you’ve guessed right again.

Alright, since I’ve got the lowest price, I can agree to the property deal.

And then what?

How do you plan to settle this matter?”

“And then…”

Chu Yunxuan bit her red lips, looked down for a moment, and slowly got up.

She extended her slender jade hand towards the shoulder strap…
