Chapter 749: Chapter 751: Xia Youyou Being Forced into Marriage for Money
It was ten o’clock.
In Zhonghai, on the forty-fifth floor of Hengmao Building, was the office of Treasure Magazine where Xia Youyou and Qi Wenjie worked.
With a lon seed face and willow leaf eyebrows, arched brows, and eyes clear as water. She had a well-shaped nose and red lips framing white teeth. Her graceful neck led towards her proud and ample figure—Xia Youyou was surrounded by a host of employees from Treasure Magazine.
On that exceedingly beautiful, picture-perfect face of the city’s cherished beauty were two streams of tear stains.
Mournful and heartbreakingly beautiful.
Xia Youyou, Lin Fei’s once most beloved, inherently possessed the delicate charm typical of won from the water villages. Typically, she resembled an orchid in a secluded valley, exuding a sense of proud solitude.
But now, she was encircled by her colleagues, the classic center of attention.
This situation was not to Xia Youyou’s liking. Of course, the tearstains on her extrely beautiful and picture-perfect face were not because she was surrounded by her colleagues.
Although Xia Youyou was more on the quiet side, she had been in the workforce for a few years. Coupled with having Qi Wenjie, an extroverted best friend, Xia Youyou usually had a very good relationship with the other employees of the magazine.
However, during work hours today, the employees of Treasure Magazine had gathered around Xia Youyou.
Naturally, it was not because Xia Youyou had done anything wrong and that they wanted to publicly reprimand her.
It was because of the young man with a sullen face standing opposite Xia Youyou, glaring at her furiously with a la leg.
“Gao Jun! Don’t go too far, this isn’t the place for you to run wild! I’ve already called the police, and if you don’t want to be taken away by them, I suggest you leave quickly. Besides, Youyou will absolutely not marry you. You can give up on that idea!”
After making a call to Lin Fei and asking him to co over imdiately, Qi Wenjie made her way through the crowd of colleagues surrounding Xia Youyou and the la Gao Jun. She took Xia Youyou’s arm, and then, she imdiately lashed out at Gao Jun with a cold reprimand!
“Hmph! I, Gao Jun, am not easily frightened; if it weren’t for this la leg I got a few years ago, even the cops would show
so respect when they see !” Snorting coldly and boasting about himself, Gao Jun’s mouth then twisted into a cold smirk, “Moreover, I haven’t done anything illegal today. Even if the cops co, what can they do to ? I don’t believe that simply because of what I said to Xia Youyou before, they can take
away!”
Qi Wenjie’s “threat of calling the police” did not intimidate Gao Jun, the only son of Xia Youyou’s foster parents. Though Gao Jun had an unremarkable appearance and a limp,
he was indeed not raised to be fearful, as he claid.
On the contrary, years ago, Gao Jun had also been mixed up in so bad circles. Although he was not a particularly powerful figure, he was sowhat of a minor leader.
“If it weren’t for the fact that back in the day, he had ssed with the wrong people and ended up with his Achilles’ tendons severed.”
“Now, Gao Jun, as a regular little cop, might really not take him seriously.”
“As for why he suddenly showed up at Treasure Magazine today, it is actually very simple: Gao Jun, as he aged, couldn’t earn money due to his limp, and therefore couldn’t find a wife.”
“Unwilling to remain a bachelor, he naturally set his sights on Xia Youyou, who had been raised by her parents.”
“To most n, Xia Youyou—with her gentle deanor and attractive face and figure—was without question a pri choice for a wife.”
“Unable to afford a wife, Gao Jun, not willing to stay single, naturally wanted to find ways to get Xia Youyou by his side.”
“Previously, when he found his way to Treasure Magazine, he used the pretense of asking Xia Youyou to repay a debt of gratitude. In doing so, Gao Jun successfully caught the attention of the entire Treasure Magazine staff.”
“At the sa ti, he managed to indirectly make Xia Youyou cry.”
“Mr. Gao, what you did today indeed did not break the law. As for your affairs with Youyou, we truly should not interfere too much. However, your presence here seriously disrupts our magazine’s work. If you do not leave, I will only have to call security to escort you out!”
“Seeing that Gao Jun was utterly unafraid of Qi Wenjie’s ‘threat of calling the police,’ Xia Youyou’s boss, the editor-in-chief of Treasure Magazine, couldn’t bear to see Xia Youyou pressured by Gao Jun any longer. He decided to bring up the charge of disrupting their work to get rid of Gao Jun.”
“I know you all look down on
and want to drive
away,” Gao Jun said, looking around at the Treasure Magazine employees encircling him. He sneered and continued, “You guys don’t provide for . Even if you didn’t drive
away, I would leave on my own. Marriage is not a trivial matter; it can’t be rushed. I understand that much.”
“Surrounding him and Xia Youyou, Gao Jun’s gaze once again fixed on Xia Youyou, ‘Marriage is not urgent, but my mother’s dical treatnt can’t be delayed. Our family has no money left, and you, as her daughter, should contribute sothing, shouldn’t you?'”
As soon as Gao Jun finished speaking, Qi Wenjie, who was beside Xia Youyou, imdiately spoke out coldly against Gao Jun, “Gao Jun, do you have no conscience? Youyou has been sending money ho every month since she started working. Over the years, almost all of the money she has earned—apart from necessary expenses—has been sent to your family. Even if your mother is really sick, you, as a grown man, should be thinking about earning money for her treatnt, instead of coming here and asking a woman for money. Have you no sha?!”
“? No sha? If my parents hadn’t adopted her, would she still be alive? How much money have my parents spent over the years to provide for her education and living expenses? Now that she is earning money from her job, it is only right and proper for her to give back to my parents. If she didn’t send money ho, that would really be shaless!”
“You—” Qi Wenjie, her pretty face turning pale with anger from Gao Jun’s unreasonable retort, was about to lash out at him. However, she was stopped by Xia Youyou, who had remained quietly by her side.
“Wenjie, don’t say anything more; this has nothing to do with you.” After whispering this to Qi Wenjie, Xia Youyou, her eyes brimming with tears, forced herself to look composedly at Gao Jun, “My salary for this month hasn’t co through yet. When I get it, I will send the money back.”
“Cut the crap. Sending money ho every month is a must. Right now, Mom needs money for her life-saving treatnt. If we wait for your salary, it’ll be too late!”
“I only have a little over a thousand in my account, and it’s all yours.”
“Just over a thousand?! Xia Youyou, have you gone mad? What can barely more than a thousand do? Mom’s condition is serious, and the doctor said without fifty thousand, she can’t be treated. Today, if you don’t co up with fifty thousand, don’t even think about making
leave!”
With that, Gao Jun sat down on the floor, making it clear that until he got the money, he wouldn’t leave…
