A Beijing socialite stole my boyfriend; she went crazy after I got married.

Before he could recover from this devastating disaster, the door to the ward was pushed open.

The nurse who came in was from the inpatient department, holding a long list of unpaid bills.

"Mr. Wei, the prepayment in your account has been completely deducted. You still owe the hospital more than 20,000 yuan. The cost of today's imported antibiotics and chest drainage maintenance has not yet been paid. If you do not pay the outstanding amount and deposit 10,000 yuan into your card by 3 pm, we will have to stop your out-of-pocket medication and transfer you out of the ward."

"I...how could I be in debt?" Wei Jing exclaimed in shock. "I still have money in my account!"

The nurse handed him the form, saying, "Here's the expense breakdown; take a look for yourself."

Wei Jing panicked completely when he saw the dense text on the screen.

The cost of moving from the ICU to a private room is enormous, enough to ruin an ordinary family.

He gripped the payment reminder tightly, cold sweat pouring down his face.

no way.

I have no choice but to sell the car.

That Porsche must be worth at least a million or two.

but--

It's difficult to convert a car into cash within a few hours.

Now we can't even afford basic medical expenses; the hospital won't wait for us.

In his despair, he suddenly thought of Jiang Chu.

That woman once spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of his money on bags and jewelry.

He had never asked her to repay the money before, out of consideration for his pride and self-esteem, but now that he was facing a life-or-death situation, he couldn't care less about anything else!

He dialed Jiang Chu's number using a new phone number.

The call was connected.

"Jiang Chu! You've ruined me so badly, are you satisfied now?!"

Wei Jing gripped his phone. "I have no money for treatment! You spent hundreds of thousands of yuan on me before, you have to pay me back all of that money! Otherwise, I won't let you get away with this!"

Jiang Chu sneered, "Excuse me, did you lend me money back then? Is there an IOU? If it wasn't a loan, why should I pay it back?"

"You were my girlfriend back then! I could accept spending money on you, but now that we've broken up, why are you taking my money for nothing?!"

Wei Jing roared excitedly.

"After we broke up, I haven't spent any more of your money, have I?" Jiang Chu continued with a cold laugh. "Those expenses were gifts given during our relationship. There was never any contract between us stipulating that 'if we break up, I must return all gifts given during our relationship'."

"You—you shameless bastard—"

"And Wei Jing, are you really that forgetful?" Jiang Chu interrupted him. "You were the one who said that my clothes and jewelry were too cheap, and that taking me to a party would embarrass you. You haven't forgotten, have you?"

At the same time, Jiang Chu walked through the underground parking garage while looking at her phone with disgust.

The money Wei Jing gave him was all spent by the original owner.

The places they went to were indeed all items like clothes, jewelry, bags, shoes, and cosmetics.

She doesn't lack money right now, let alone these hundreds of thousands.

But thinking about Wei Jing, and then thinking about how returning the money would solve his immediate problem, I felt a little uneasy.

but--

She exchanged a few messages with Assistant Feng and suddenly thought of a method.

Jiang Chu stared at the flickering screen.

Since Wei Jing wanted to kill her, she would absolutely, positively not let him get away with it.

Moreover, she would choose the method that would cause him the most pain.

That is--

First ignite hope, then let it be extinguished.

That is the most desperate situation.

"...Almost everything I've ever bought has appeared at your parties and gatherings."

Jiang Chu said calmly, "Didn't you benefit from giving me money? You want money from me? Fine, then give me back the happiness and emotional value you gained from showing off your beautiful girlfriend to your friends, and we'll be even."

"You—cough cough! Pfft—"

Wei Jing was so angry at these words that his chest heaved violently, and he couldn't catch his breath, so he spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva!

He clutched his aching chest and coughed violently.

"Jiang Chu...you have to pay me! Otherwise, I'll sue you! I'll put you in jail!"

"You can't even afford medical bills now, how can you afford lawyer fees? Go ahead and sue me, I'm waiting."

"Jiang Chu," Wei Jing's nails dug into his flesh, "you just wait, I will never let you go. You and Xie Jing, you two scoundrels, I curse you to die a horrible death, and may you never have a son—"

Jiang Chu: "..."

The phone hangs up.

Wei Jing lay helplessly on the bed, his heart pounding heavily and erratically, each beat accompanied by a sharp, agonizing pain that made him panic.

That night, the phone only vibrated a few times.

He clicked on it with trembling hands; it was a few screenshots sent by Jiang Chu.

The above is a detailed record of all the transfers during their relationship, as well as a transfer receipt that was just deposited into his bank card.

The total is 465,000 yuan.

At the bottom, there was a sentence: "[The interest has been calculated based on the LPR (Loan Prime Rate) of the same period from the People's Bank of China. All debts are settled.]"

Wei Jing was overjoyed!

With this 460,000 yuan, he can pay his medical bills and hold on until he can sell the car!

He frantically tapped on his phone, trying to transfer the money to the hospital's payment account via mobile banking.

However, the moment the "Confirm Payment" button was clicked, a bright red exclamation mark suddenly popped up on the screen:

[Transaction failed. Your account has been legally restricted. Please contact your card issuer.]

Wei Jing's smile froze on his face instantly.

He stubbornly tried turning the screen several more times, but still got the same message!

With trembling hands, he dialed the bank's customer service number, and after being transferred to a human operator, he couldn't help but yell.

"What's going on? Why can't I transfer money from my card? That was a remittance I just received! Is there a bug in your system?!"

"Mr. Wei, the system shows that your account has been judicially frozen by the Economic Crime Investigation Department of the Public Security Bureau. Currently, the account is in a 'deposit-only' state. We are not authorized to process any transfers or withdrawals for you. Please cooperate with the relevant departments in their investigation."

"Bullshit! This is my legal personal property! The debtor just gave it to me!"

Wei Jing completely broke down. Veins bulged on his forehead, and he felt his temples throbbing wildly. A spasm-like pain shot through his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Just then, his phone screen lit up, and an unmarked official number called.

Wei Jing answered the call with trembling hands.

"Wei Jing, regarding your parents' suspected illegal fundraising and cross-border money laundering case, through in-depth judicial data analysis, it has been determined that the funds in the properties and vehicles registered under your name, as well as the bank accounts you personally own, all originated from the illicit funds involved in the case."

"We have legally frozen and seized all of the aforementioned assets. You have no right to use any of these assets before the case is concluded, and all frozen funds will be used for subsequent restitution procedures."

Wei Jing stared at his phone in disbelief.

What?!

What was the point of him asking Jiang Chu to repay the money?

even--

It's better not to pay it back at all!

He could see the money, but he couldn't use it at all!
