Chapter 3 This is clearly a curse!

These two, one playing the good cop and one playing the bad cop, had acting skills so superb they could win an Oscar.

If it were the old Jiang You, seeing this scene, she would definitely feel guilty and tell Li Tianming that she wouldn't go to school anymore.

But now, Jiang You watched the couple's performance with composure.

She only felt that they were born actors.

At the same time, she pitied herself for being deceived for over a decade; they had used countless similar tricks to make her compromise.

"Isn't moving from the countryside to the city what you've always dreamed of? Why do you make it sound like you've suffered a loss?

Back then, you weren't the only relatives who wanted to be my guardians and take care of me; other uncles and granduncles were all scrambling to move to the city.

You shamelessly snatched this opportunity for yourselves.

Aunt, you're taking advantage and still acting innocent, like a prostitute trying to set up a memorial arch?

Are you still treating me like a three-year-old?"

Seeing that she was unmoved, and even completely overturning everything from back then,

Ge Chunhua realized that her little niece had grown up, and perhaps she had recently heard something from others.

Her biggest confidence was that Jiang You was soft-natured, and had been brainwashed since childhood, valuing this kindness greatly and being very obedient.

But now, Jiang You, for some unknown reason, had a breakthrough in her mind, making them difficult to control.

So, her tone softened.

"Xiao You, your uncle at least raised you; just consider it helping your uncle out.

It's also your good-for-nothing cousin who owes a lot of money outside; we really have no choice!

Although Boss Wang's son is a bit simple-minded, he can take care of himself.

You won't need to serve him if you marry him, and there's endless money!

Aunt is kneeling to beg you, please help your uncle!

If you don't help your uncle, your cousin will definitely be beaten to death by loan sharks. If he dies, your uncle won't have a life either.

You don't want to see your uncle suffer a fate worse than death, do you?

I don't want to drag you down either, but your older cousin is a fool, and no one wants her.

Your college entrance exam results this year are so good; they want a smart daughter-in-law like you!"

Li Tianming remained silent, his eyes red and tearful, looking at Jiang You with guilt.

Ge Chunhua knelt on the ground, pleading in a low voice.

It was as if she was the culprit behind all this, and if she didn't agree, she would be committing a great sin.

If it were before, Jiang You would never have dared to let her kneel to her; she would have felt so guilty she would have cried herself to death.

But now.

"Elders kneeling to juniors shortens one's lifespan. It seems you truly hate me to the core, wishing for my early demise.

"

Ge Chunhua waved her hands repeatedly. Jiang You, this little girl, was stupid and soft-hearted; she was the easiest to coax.

Just as she was about to say something nice, she heard Jiang You continue.

"How much betrothal gift did Boss Wang give you? Enough for you to beg me so humbly?"

She estimated that the money Li Haochen owed outside was a huge sum.

It was important to note that from childhood to adulthood, Ge Chunhua had never bowed her head to her like this.

Every day, she would constantly mention the 'kindness of raising her' to manipulate her, but lies told too often made even herself believe them.

She even genuinely believed that she had bestowed great kindness upon Jiang You.

Jiang You looked at Ge Chunhua's stiff smile, feeling a bit curious.

In her previous life, after she refused to marry Boss Wang's son, Li Tianming and his wife, although they outwardly begged her for a few days, then disappointedly didn't bring up the matter again.

She thought the matter was over.

But within two days, they drugged her dinner and let Boss Wang's foolish son in, wanting to force the issue.

Although they didn't succeed in the end, it was disgusting enough.

At the hospital, her uncle knelt before her, apologizing, saying he didn't expect Boss Wang's foolish son to be able to climb in through the window and so on.

He pushed all the blame onto that fool.

As for the drugging, he never mentioned it.

He even tried to commit suicide to prove his innocence. Faced with the uncle who had raised her for many years, Jiang You chose to believe him again.

Ge Chunhua hesitated, "One million."

Jiang You, "Swear it. If you lie, tomorrow you two will be hit by a car when you go out. Li Yingyue will marry an abusive pervert for life, unable to escape, beaten to death alive. Li Haochen will have his hands and feet chopped off by loan sharks, and his future sons will be born without an anus! Li Haoxuan will indulge in drinking, whoring, gambling, and drugs, and engage in all forms of deception and theft, eating prison food for life, and finally eating peanuts! Your maternal relatives will all die a horrible death, and all your ancestral graves will be dug up by dogs!"

Ge Chunhua gasped, glaring at Jiang You with anger and shock. What the hell kind of oath was that?!

This wretched girl was clearly cursing her!

Some people in this world are just strange; the more bad things they do, the more guilty they feel, and the more they believe in Buddhism.

Ge Chunhua was such a person.

So she gritted her teeth and spoke again, "Six million!"

Li Tianming glared at his wife, then turned his gaze back to Jiang You, trembling as he said,

"Xiao You, your uncle is sorry for you, your uncle is useless!"

Ge Chunhua's eyes lit up. Since Jiang You asked that, she must be agreeing!

Hmph, a little girl, she's still completely under her thumb!

"If you agree to marry Boss Wang's son, anything is negotiable!

It's really only six million; I didn't lie to you!

As long as you save your cousin this one time, your aunt will owe you for life!

I'll treat you like my own daughter!"

Jiang You nodded, seemingly compromising.

"I didn't expect to be quite valuable, worth six million.

I can marry, but I have conditions. You must give me my father's Relics.

Especially that jade bracelet; that bracelet isn't valuable, but it's a token of my parents' love, so it has special meaning.

Move out of my house before dark tomorrow. Additionally, I want four million in betrothal gifts.

The remaining two million you can use to pay off debts.

Agree to these conditions, and I'll agree to have the wedding a month from now."

When her father's Relics were mentioned, Jiang You's eyes darkened.

"You want four million? You're not big, but your appetite certainly is!"

Ge Chunhua pouted, "You're a young girl, aren't you afraid of something happening with so much money?

Why don't you let your uncle keep it? You know he loves you the most; he definitely wouldn't harm you!"

She winked at Li Tianming.

If she remembered correctly, at this time, her older cousin had already been caught by the debt collectors.

Otherwise, Li Tianming and his wife wouldn't be in such a hurry.

They even wanted to marry off her older cousin, but Boss Wang said he wanted a girl who was good-looking, well-educated, and smart.

Although her older cousin was not bad-looking, she was entirely focused on her appearance, her grades were a mess, and she paid to attend a third-rate university.

After an investigation, Boss Wang didn't want her.

Boss Wang's own son was an idiot with violent tendencies, and he had already beaten two wives to death.

Therefore, the price Boss Wang was offering now was exceptionally high; he wanted a girl with good academic results, and not too pretty, as too pretty meant not obedient.

But now was not the era of not having enough to eat or wear; even parents with a little conscience, even if they favored sons over daughters, no one was willing to watch their own daughter go to her death.

These few million, despite the high price, were clearly blood money!

Moreover, Boss Wang's demands were not low; although he didn't want a too pretty girl, he wanted to find a smart and excellent girl to improve his grandson's genes.

Hope the next generation wouldn't be an idiot anymore.

What's more, he wanted a pure girl, one who hadn't been in a relationship.

In his eyes, perhaps good grades meant smart.

Anyway, Jiang You always knew she wasn't a smart person; otherwise, she wouldn't have spent over a decade living with them and still not seen the wolves around her, even treating them as benefactors.

"Then I won't marry.

Anyway, you can't tie me down; this is the new society.

If something happens to me, and I'm unwillingly married to Boss Wang's son, I'll find a way to torment him, to kill him.

After all, we'd be a couple; it would be very convenient for me to act."

Jiang You glanced indifferently at Li Tianming, "Uncle, you're getting me married, not making an enemy, right?

What do you think will happen to Boss Wang's son in my hands?

Will he let you off?"

Li Tianming was about to open his mouth to coax her, saying they wouldn't marry her off.

But Jiang You glanced at him and added, "If you say 'no marriage' even once, I really won't marry. So don't be hypocritical."

Li Tianming then feigned a look of guilt, lowering his head and sighing.

"You dare!" Ge Chunhua immediately retorted.

If she lost the money, what would happen to her son?

The loan sharks said if the money wasn't repaid, they would remove and sell her son's organs!

Jiang You stared directly at him, "Whether I dare or not, you'll find out if you try."

Ge Chunhua looked at her niece before her and backed down.

Her son's life was at stake; she dared not gamble.

Those ink-black pupils also sent a chill down Li Tianming's spine.

For some reason, he felt as if the Jiang You before him had changed, with an indescribable sense of strangeness.

The old her, no matter what happened, would always be quiet, at most hiding away to cry softly.

She never talked back to him, but now she was like a little hedgehog covered in thorns.

Thinking of this, he hardened his heart, raised his palm, and slapped Ge Chunhua's face fiercely.

"Slap!"

"Enough!

It's already an act of utmost benevolence for Xiao You to help our family!

What more do you want to force her to do!!

That six million was originally hers, and I, as her uncle, am useless for not being able to give her a dowry, and having to use part of her betrothal gift to pay off debts, which is already enough to be sorry for her!

If you force Xiao You any further, I'll divorce you!!"

He shouted, his face red.

If Jiang You hadn't been reborn, she would truly believe that he was forced and sincerely felt sorry for his niece.

What superb acting, but unfortunately, the audience has woken up.
