“I know you’re not short of money, but I don’t want to owe you too much.”
The more she owes, the harder it is for her to divorce him.
What’s the point of being reborn if she can’t divorce him?
He must have understood she intends to clear all debts between them.
“Huh, Jian Yufei, if you insist on quibbling over these things, then let me make an account for you. When we got married, I gave your family a house worth a million, your brother’s tuition for the noble school is five hundred thousand each term, and I gave your mother jewelry worth a million on her birthday.
Your stepfather’s businesses have all failed, sinking over two million in total.
And now, another two million for him. I’m not even counting the other money I’ve given you over time. Do the math and see how much this account comes
Jian Yufei’s eyelids twitched, her face suddenly pale.
Her family always found excuses to ask the Ruan Family for money, which she found most embarrassing.
If she really were to calculate it all, selling her off might not even be enough to pay back the debt.
She knew he thought she was overly tactful and artificial.
But she really didn’t want to owe the Ruan Family anything anymore. Also, paying back whatever she could, even little by little, was better than nothing, wasn’t it?
Ruan Tianling looked at her coldly, waiting to see how she would rebut.
Jian Yufei bit her lip, and said hesitantly, “I’ll write you an IOU, and pay you back when I’ve earned enough.”
“How do you plan to earn the money?” He leaned closer to her, his index finger lifting her chin, a faint smile on his thin lips, “How about , behave and do as I say, and we’ll consider your debt to me paid. This deal is a good one, isn’t it?”
She frowned slightly, “What do you want me to do?”
He was already domineering and arrogant enough.
On top of that, he wanted her to behave herself. Did he expect her to be his slave?
Ruan Tianling laughed and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t have you do anything. Just want you to get back to how you were before, and not mention divorcing me every now and then.”
Jian Yufei couldn’t help but mockingly retort, “Or is it that you don’t want me to divorce you?”
The man didn’t rebut. Indeed, he hoped for a divorce.
“My status means that I can’t divorce easily. And since I haven’t found a more suitable wife yet, I might as well let you continue being the young mistress of the Ruan Family.”
At least her background was simple, and she was straightforward. She wouldn’t stir trouble by his side.
“What if you never find a suitable wife in your lifetime?”
“Then you stay by my side for life!”
Jian Yufei’s face tightened, her hands subconsciously clenched.
Spending a lifetime by his side would be an eternal nightmare!
Ruan Tianling reached out to touch her face, his movement gentle, like a lover’s caress.
“Darling, what’s so bad about being my wife? Isn’t the status of the mistress of the Ruan family honorable enough? If you continue being my wife, you won’t have to worry about your parents’ expenses. Even if we get divorced in the future, I’ll give you a considerable alimony. Considering this deal, you should know how to choose.”
Indeed, whoever it’d be, they would choose to stay by his side since he could provide wealth, fame, money, and status except for affection.
If she hadn’t been reborn, she would’ve definitely compromised.
But having gotten a second chance at life, she would never let herself continue living in his shadow.
She must break away from him and get a fresh start as soon as possible!
Pushing his hand away, Jian Yufei scornfully said, “This deal is indeed profitable. Unfortunately, it doesn’t touch my heart. Perhaps if you consider giving me all your assets, I might reconsider..”
