Grasping the handle, Jiang Chen took a gentle breath and, at last, turned around.
Considering his understanding of this wealthy young woman, her driving over late at night was definitely not going to end without resolution.
Moreover, the fuel tank was indeed nearly empty, probably not enough to support her drive home.
"Miss Shi, you must have quite a few friends in East Sea, right? If not, you still have a fiancé, I believe they wouldn’t stand by and watch you in distress."
Even if her family had truly cut off her finances, she was after all still the jewel of the Shi Family, and with that status, wouldn’t getting some money be effortless?
"I don’t want to go to them, they’ll laugh at me."
Being unable to let go of one’s pride, understandable.
But aren’t you afraid that I’ll laugh at you?
"Miss Shi, even if your parents stopped your credit cards, there’s nothing I can do about it, I can’t help you."
Shi Qianxi quickly said, "You have money."
Jiang Chen was rendered speechless.
He finally understood why she came to him.
It turned out she was after his financial power.
However, a problem that could be solved with money wasn’t really a problem at all.
"How much do you want to borrow?"
"It’s not borrowing."
Shi Qianxi’s crying finally ceased, her thick eyelashes like dew-covered foliage.
"Give me your supplementary card."
Jiang Chen was taken aback, then he emphatically said, "Impossible!"
If it was just about lending money, he would have considered it a good deed, since considering her background, there was no worry that she couldn’t pay it back. But the way this woman was asking, it was clear she was demanding.
Give me your supplementary card.
Staring at Shi Qianxi who seemed quite puzzled, Jiang Chen was momentarily at a loss for words himself.
"Why should I give you my supplementary card?"
"Because it’s because of you that my mother cut off my credit card. Shouldn’t you take responsibility? And since you’re so rich, spending a little on me isn’t a big deal, right?"
Jiang Chen’s eyes twitched, once again struck by this woman’s audacity.
He really wanted to ask, how does my being wealthy concern you?
Your dad is so wealthy, can I go to him and say, Uncle, you’re too rich, let me spend some for you?
Although he had finally completed the first task and become a multimillionaire, could his modest fortune withstand the ravages of this young lady?
If something like the blood diamond affair happened again, he’d be straight into bankruptcy!
"Miss Shi, what does your family cutting off your credit card have to do with me? Don’t randomly slander others."
Jiang Chen set his face sternly.
"My mother found the ripped stockings you tore, and she asked me who did it. I didn’t betray you, and then she thought I was being promiscuous and stopped my cards. Tell me, aren’t you responsible?"
Despite her erratic emotions, Shi Qianxi’s thought process was quite clear.
"Can’t you just find some excuse to get past it? You can’t even lie?"
"I made something up, but my mom didn’t believe it."
Silence fell in the car.
"Jiang Chen, I really had no other choice but to come to you. Those people around me, they all secretly want to see me embarrassed, I can’t go to them."
Shi Qianxi wiped her face again.
"If you’re unwilling to give me money, then let’s make a transaction."
Jiang Chen asked subconsciously.
"I’ll sleep with you, and you’ll give me money, okay?"
Jiang Chen was stunned, looking at Miss Shi, who was serious and earnest, and exclaimed, "Are you crazy?! Do you even know what you’re saying?!"
A trace of resentment appeared on Shi Qianxi’s poorly made-up face, "Didn’t my mom say that I’m not chaste? I’ll show her how unchaste I can be! She thinks by cutting off my credit card she can force me into submission. Ha, I can make my own money!"
She stared at Jiang Chen.
"One million for one night, is that okay?"
Jiang Chen’s lips quivered, and he was speechless for a long time.
In the face of her parents’ high-pressure tactics, the lady must have been provoked into a rebellious state of mind.
One million for one night.
It sounds extravagant, but this lady actually has no real concept of money.
There will surely be those who curse, saying it’s because she’s decked in diamonds, right? In fact, it’s a matter of perspective.
Nowadays, many top internet celebrities are worth even more, not to mention the stars.
Even if Miss Shi has a terrible temper, her social status is undeniable, and her appearance is commendable, all of which make her more valuable than internet celebrities and stars.
In such a market, beauty is no longer the deciding factor. What often influences the price is one’s social status, the aura that surrounds them.
The nobler the woman you possess, the greater the sense of otherworldly achievement you feel.
One million per night, while it seems like an exorbitant initial demand, is actually quite reasonable considering this lady’s status.
Being self-reliant has its merits, and that’s commendable, but isn’t this way of making money a bit too brash?
Jiang Chen fell silent for a while before uttering words that could stun someone to the core.
"I was appointed a Young Pioneer in the third grade of elementary school."
The silence descended again inside the Aston Martin, worth over four million.
"Eight hundred thousand, and I can’t go any lower," Miss Shi asserted, her expression determined, much like a pretentious vendor at a night market.
Jiang Chen was at a loss for words.
"Can’t you be less stingy?"
Miss Shi didn’t continue to negotiate but emphasized her selling point succinctly, "I’m a virgin."
Jiang Chen’s pupils constricted.
"You can verify it yourself later. I can’t lie about this kind of thing, but first, you have to pay."
It was only now that Jiang Chen realized this woman was much more formidable than he had imagined.
Her demeanor showed she was not joking.
In these times, everything can be faked. Many fast-money-earning girls opt for a surgical fix when they decide to go straight, a procedure that costs just a few thousand yuan. Afterward, they are reborn and can start anew, and the man who takes them in often struggles to discern the truth.
This is the magical era we live in.
Given Miss Shi’s character and status, she definitely would not, nor condescend to, do such a thing.
She truly intended to sell herself, not for a million, but for eight hundred thousand.
You see, the wealth of this lady’s family is counted in tens of billions.
"Jiang Chen, surely you aren’t too stingy to even spend eight hundred thousand?"
The prolonged silence from Jiang Chen gradually stirred a look of humiliated anger in Shi Qianxi’s eyes.
"I’ll have you know, I, Shi Qianxi, am not unwanted! If I’m willing, there are plenty of people who would pay eighty million, even eight hundred million!"
"Get out of the car!"
Miss Shi lashed out in embarrassed fury.
Jiang Chen instinctively thought to bolt but then he considered, if he just left, what would become of this woman?
With her current crazed state, not to mention her agitated emotions, she might actually flag down someone on the street and allow herself to be ruined.
Never underestimate the extremities of a woman.
Such instances have indeed occurred in reality.
