Although his voice was low, it still reached the ears of the other two people in the room, especially me, who heard it particularly clearly. I immediately retorted without courtesy: “He wasn’t being kind, he was trying to make money!” I hadn’t forgotten that he just asked me for 100 taels!
“Make money?” the man in white raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Before I could answer, Wei Chi, standing nearby, spoke coldly: “Enough, you two!
Just because I’m not speaking doesn’t mean I can’t hear!”
Then, he looked at the man in white and asked: “When did you have time to come to my courtyard?”
The man in white shrugged, looking carefree: “I just overheard the servants talking about you bringing a woman back last night, so I came to take a look!”
Wei Chi’s face remained cold: “I didn’t know you cared about me so much?”
The man in white honestly shook his head: “I’m not concerned about you, big brother, but about the woman you brought back! It’s rare to see you bring a woman back, so as your brother, how could I not come and check?”
Wei Chi coldly issued an order to leave: “Since you’ve satisfied your curiosity, can you go now?”
The man in white suddenly became serious: “I’m leaving, but I advise you to send this woman away quickly, because she’s not someone you can afford to keep…”
Wei Chi immediately replied, “I’ve already said, since you have no money, you’ll stay and work to pay off your debt!”
I puffed out my cheeks, glaring at him fiercely, and firmly refused word by word: “I don’t want to, don’t want to, don’t want to – did you hear me clearly?”
Wei Chi directly ignored the anger on my face and continued his unreasonable demand: “Unless you come up with a hundred taels, I won’t let you leave!”
Damn, has this guy never seen a woman before? How could he try to keep someone like this…
I suppressed my urge to explode and gritted my teeth, glaring at him: “Didn’t your brother tell you? I’m a woman you can’t afford to offend. Staying here will cause unnecessary trouble for you and your family!”
He shrugged indifferently: “I’m not afraid of trouble!”
