"Little Shan, I, I know you utterly despise me now, and no matter what I explain, it’s useless. But believe me, this time, I am truly repentant. Just save my brother, and I promise, I will start over with you, start anew."
Wu Xiaoru was directly amused by her own words.
"Wu Xiaoru, you think too highly of yourself. Do you think I am still the same Zhang Xiao who used to be at your beck and call? Let me tell you, I am not short of women now, you won’t fool me again."
Zhang Xiaoshan directly issued an unceremonious order to leave.
Even glancing at Wu Xiaoru made him feel sick.
It turned out that in Wu Xiaoru’s eyes, feelings were nothing more than a commodity to be exchanged at will.
All my sincerity in the past years, now it seems, was utterly ridiculous.
Zhang Xiaoshan underestimated Wu Xiaoru’s shamelessness.
She directly knelt in front of Zhang Xiaoshan, grabbed his thighs, and burst into loud sobs.
"Little Shan, I was wrong, I truly realize my mistake now, please give me another chance."
"I know that you have a complicated relationship with that female leader. Just a word from you, and the Security Bureau will thoroughly investigate the case, then my brother Wu Yong won’t have to take the blame anymore. Please, help me."
"Rest assured, I never let Wang Xiaolong touch me. I, I am still pure, we can remarry and start fresh. I’ll be utterly devoted to you; let’s live a good life together."
Upon hearing a slight softening in Zhang Xiaoshan’s tone, Wu Xiaoru immediately looked up, her eyes filled with hopeful expectancy.
Zhang Xiaoshan looked down at Wu Xiaoru.
Today, Wu Xiaoru wore a white knee-length strap dress.
The straps hanging from her neck had slipped down to her arms due to her kneeling and crying, revealing much of the scenery at her chest.
From his higher vantage point, Zhang Xiaoshan could see everything clearly, even down the crevice to her lower abdomen.
Indeed, Zhang Xiaoshan despised Wu Xiaoru to the utmost, but setting aside the feelings, just speaking of her physical appearance, Wu Xiaoru was indeed attractive. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so blindly devoted to her before, purely blinded by lust.
But what did all those years of heartfelt commitment earn him?
Now, having parted with Wu Xiaoru, there was still some regret; surely, he couldn’t just end up with nothing, could he?
"Little Shan, please, save my brother."
"My mom said that if I can’t get my brother out, she will disown me as her daughter."
"Think of our years of affection as pity for me."
"My reputation is already ruined locally; I surely can’t find a good match now. And if my mom throws me out too, how will I live in the future?"
Wu Xiaoru cried miserably.
"Alright, I can help you."
Wu Xiaoru was still organizing her thoughts, utterly not expecting that before she could perfect her lines, Zhang Xiaoshan would agree directly.
She could hardly believe it.
Zhang Xiaoshan nodded, repeating what he had said.
"I said I would help you, and I will keep my word. However, you will have to give something in return, won’t you?"
Wu Xiaoru looked confusedly at Zhang Xiaoshan.
