Chapter 575: Chapter 576 Sister Flowers Educated Youth 93_1

What? Ask her for money, and it’s five hundred? Shen Jie laughed, "Do you think I’m a fool?"

"For a boss like you with tens of thousands in assets, five hundred is a small amount," he said.

"But I’m just a student, and for me, five hundred is a lot of money," Shen Jie expressed helplessly. "You’re a grown man, can’t you earn your own money?"

"Besides, can’t you sell your clothes? Your clothes are of decent quality; you can sell them second-hand."

"Then you could also go out and do some odd jobs or something," Shen Jie said, shaking her head continuously. "I really can’t understand it, are all businessmen so shameless?"

Even if Shen Jie had money, she wouldn’t lend it to him, "What if I lend money to someone like you, who has no fixed address, and you don’t pay it back?"

"I, I promise," Gao Jian said, assuring her that he would definitely pay it back, as long as she could find him.

"Forget it. With someone like you, you used to owe a lot of money to the Northeastern village, didn’t you? When you started making money from your business, you never thought about paying them back."

"You would pay me back?" Shen Jie suddenly remembered this matter and felt that the reason Gao Jian didn’t move his residency to the Northeast was probably because of this.

Originally, she thought that after their release, Gao Jian’s and Shen Yuan’s residencies would go back to the Gao Family and Shen Family.

Later, she found out that when they went to the countryside, their residencies were moved to the Northeast.

After their release, their residencies returned to the rural Northeast, and to move their residencies, they doubtlessly had to go back to the rural Northeast.

Shen Yuan’s residency probably wasn’t a big issue since she had no disputes with the village, but Gao Jian had problems.

Of course, maybe he didn’t care anymore, but Gao Jian cared about his reputation, so he wouldn’t be able to disregard it.

What? When everyone heard another dark piece of Gao Jian’s past, they looked at him with even more disdain.

"He looks decent enough, but the things he does are quite the opposite."

Gao Jian became anxious, "I, I didn’t."

"We would know if we asked around in the Northeast."

"Gao Jian, you’ve always been unscrupulous. Whether you swindled Shen Yuan and took all the money, I don’t know if it’s true or not," someone accused.

"But if it is true, then you deserve it. Shen Yuan took good care of you."

"With your scheming against me, how you treated her must have also been excessive this time," the accusation continued.

Otherwise, Shen Yuan wouldn’t have handled things this way. Forget it, it’s none of her business, and she didn’t want to worry about it.

"And Gao Jian, if I hear anyone saying I schemed for your money, I’m sorry, but I’ll sue you, I’ll sue you for slander," she threatened.

Whether there’s such a crime or not, she didn’t know, but it didn’t matter. From Gao Jian’s extreme reluctance to go to the police, it was clear he wanted to avoid any contact with such authorities.

Suing again, Gao Jian had actually been thinking he’d go to The South and bitterly complain.

"You can try. Don’t think just because you’re in The South and I’m in the North that I don’t know about you," she warned. "There are people who go down to The South to buy stock; you think they might know a thing or two?"

"Once I hear about it, then you wait for your day in court," Shen Jie pointed at Gao Jian, leaving him with those words.

Talking about going to court, Gao Jian couldn’t stop swallowing, "No, no, I really won’t say anything."

Although it felt good to lash out at the moment, if he really had to go to court, he knew he’d be in deep trouble.

Gao Jian worried what if he had to go in for re-education again? In a few years, when he got out, he would be almost 30. By then, starting a business again, he didn’t know if it would be possible.

With all the time spent stirring trouble and talking ill of the two sisters, he might as well think about how to make money and make a comeback.

"I hope you can manage that, or else, you know what will happen," Shen Jie waved her hand at Gao Jian, "Alright, off you go."

"Get the money as soon as possible, and you can head to The South earlier. Who knows, you might even catch Shen Yuan at her bank account, lying in wait for her."

Shen Jie really didn’t understand; knowing that Shen Yuan had taken savings books among the stolen items, why would she insist on staying in Capital City and wasting time instead of hurrying to find Shen Yuan.

She had always thought Shen Yuan had run off with the money, but seeing Gao Jian’s reluctance to leave and his unconcerned demeanor, Shen Jie really started to feel suspicious, "Are you really planning to betray me?"

"I, I don’t want to betray you."

"I, I never joined forces with Shen Yuan to trick you," Gao Jian kept assuring, "I, I really never thought Shen Yuan could be so excessive."

"Maybe you have someone else on the side, and Shen Yuan knew you wouldn’t marry her, so of course, she ran off," Shen Jie said casually.

Ah? Gao Jian’s mouth fell open. Could it be that Shen Yuan knew about his affair and that’s why she pulled such a stunt?

But he had always been careful, never making a mistake, except for that day.

Yes, that day when Shen Yuan went looking for Shen Jie and then his lover came to him, and they made a scene, spilling words that should have stayed unspoken.

Could she have overheard it? If not for that, Shen Yuan would never have done this.

Oh no, Gao Jian really felt like crying now, he had never imagined things would turn out this way.

Even though he had always put up a good front and never let anything slip, just because of that one careless moment, a big problem had arisen.

Seeing Gao Jian’s remorseful expression, Shen Jie knew she had guessed right again, and all she could express, helplessly, was, "Lust can be a killing blade, and you can’t even control your lower half."

"You say Shen Yuan isn’t sincere, yet you expect her to treat you well."

"Alright, at least you are still young, at least you can start over," Shen Jie comforted without much sincerity.

"Start over? I’m almost thirty, and I have achieved nothing."

"I’ve done so much for the family, and yet they complain that I’ve disgraced them," Gao Jian lamented, his mood very foul, and he couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Listening to Gao Jian talk about his contributions to the family and how they were treating him now, some of the softer-hearted listeners around them couldn’t help their eyes turning red.

Shen Jie listened quietly, "So when you were broke, you felt entitled to enjoy the things girls bought for you."

"The reason you chose Shen Yuan wasn’t because you liked her, but because she was generous, often buying you things."

"You thought she was easy to fool, and you never cared how Shen Yuan swindled money from me or how she treated me."

"After arriving in the Northeast, you hardly put in any effort at work but expected Shen Yuan to help you, and even then, you only earned five work points."

"A grown man earning just five work points, and that’s with someone backing you up."

"Of course, you were busy doing other things, like going up the mountain to catch rabbits and fishing in the river and made quite a bit of money."

"You sent all the money you earned back home. With few work points, you shared less of the food, so you ate Shen Yuan’s share. At the youth hostel, you were unwilling to do any of the tasks assigned to every sent-down youth; it was Shen Yuan who did them."

"Even Shen Yuan, who was so dedicated to you, couldn’t stand you anymore. Gao Jian, you really need to do some soul-searching."

"It was her choice to do so; she was the lowly one, and I never asked for it," Gao Jian declared indignantly, then turned and ran off.

He felt that Capital City was truly against him, not only causing him a great loss but also tarnishing his reputation and digging up his past.

He needed to buy a ticket and leave this place as soon as possible; he couldn’t stay here any longer.
