The bodyguard loosened his grip a little.

Gu Ze frantically took out his phone, checked his bank card balance, and discovered that he didn't have enough money at all.

He usually spends money freely. The money Jiang Li gave him before has long been used for meals, shoes, gifts for Bai Yuan, and to show off his wealth by treating his classmates to meals.

I've already spent most of the money Jiang Li gave me.

He first called a few of his roommates.

No one answered.

He then sent messages to classmates he knew.

When the other party heard that they needed to borrow money, their response was much slower than usual.

Some people even asked him directly if he had gotten into some trouble.

Gu Ze was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead.

"I can only get a little over 30,000 right now; I'll make up the rest later."

Shen Yan lifted her eyelids.

The assistant, quite perceptive, glanced at the female bodyguard.

Snapped.

Bai Yuan was hit again.

She covered her face in pain, her makeup ruined, and the pitiful look she had carefully maintained was completely shattered.

"Don't hit me... I have money."

Gu Ze was stunned.

Bai Yuan spoke indistinctly, her voice trembling with tears.

"I can transfer."

She was filled with intense hatred.

That money was painstakingly earned little by little from her suitors.

I just wanted to save up to buy bags and clothes so that I could get closer to people of a higher social standing.

She originally wanted to use Gu Ze to scam even more.

But if they keep hitting her, her face will be ruined.

Gu Ze looked at her with even more emotion.

"Yuan Yuan, I will definitely repay you in the future."

Bai Yuan didn't reply.

She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would not be able to help but call him a good-for-nothing.

Bai Yuan gritted her teeth and transferred 30,000 yuan to Gu Ze.

Gu Ze scraped together 67,300 yuan, his fingers trembling violently.

"Where to?"

No one answered from inside the suite.

Shen Yan didn't even bother to look at him anymore.

Gu Ze suddenly realized something and looked down to find Jiang Li's profile picture.

He clicked on the transfer page and entered the amount, feeling a tightness in his chest.

In the past, when Jiang Li gave him money, she would always carefully ask him if it was enough.

He never thought that money was valuable.

But now, the numbers on the transfer page made his face burn.

A notification popped up indicating that the transfer was successful.

Gu Ze held up his phone.

"It's already been transferred."

Only after the assistant confirmed it did he nod to Shen Yan.

Shen Yan slowly got up.

The black shirt stretched its clean lines with each movement, highlighting broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

The suit trousers accentuated an almost austere and cold feeling.

He walked up to Gu Ze and looked down at him.

"It seems you like her very much."

Gu Ze didn't understand and raised his swollen face.

"What?"

Shen Yan lowered her eyes, her tone calm.

"Then we'll suffer together."

Gu Ze's expression changed.

The next moment, the bodyguard grabbed his chin.

Slaps landed one after another.

Gu Ze's usually gentle, pretty face quickly became red and swollen.

Bai Yuan lay on the ground trembling, but there was a hint of inexplicable relief in her eyes.

She wasn't the only one who was in a sorry state.

Gu Ze was still shouting at first, but his voice gradually became softer and softer.

He gritted his teeth, his resentment towards Jiang Li building up little by little.

If Jiang Li had answered his call, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

She clearly listens to him the most.

She used to panic even if he just frowned.

Looking at Gu Ze's swollen face, Shen Yan finally felt a little better.

If Jiang Li saw him like this, she would probably come to her senses.

There's no reason for her to even look at something like that.

He turned his head to look at his special assistant.

"Take a picture."

The assistant immediately understood.

Shen Yan straightened his cuffs, his expression indifferent.

"Send it to the villa and let her see it."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ze struggled again.

"You can't let Jiang Li see me like this!"

Shen Yan looked down at him, her eyes indifferent.

You have no right to see her again.

Gu Ze's voice trailed off.

Bai Yuan lay beside him, her hair disheveled and plastered to her face, her eyes filled with embarrassment and resentment.

Shen Yan didn't look at them again.

He turned and walked out, with his assistant following behind.

The man paused as he reached the door.

"At the villa, we'll cook dinner according to her preferences, but it needs to be nutritionally balanced."

The assistant bowed his head in agreement.

Shen Yan added, "Reorganize the walk-in closet and arrange daily care to the highest standards. Give her whatever she wants."

"clear."

The corridor light fell on his profile, highlighting his taut jawline.

The open neckline revealed a pale, cool skin tone.

Even though he was about to leave, he arranged everything clearly, including what Jiang Li would eat, wear, and use that night.

The assistant followed behind, raising his own level of suspicion towards Jiang Li by one notch.

The elevator doors opened.

Shen Yan stepped inside, her expression returning to its usual indifference.

After the suite door closed, the living room became quiet.

Only after Shen Yan left did the pressure on Gu Ze's shoulder ease.

Gu Ze lay on the carpet for a long time before he finally managed to get up by supporting himself on his arms.

His cheeks were badly swollen, and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.

When Bai Yuan was released by the female bodyguard, her hair was disheveled and stuck to the side of her face, her eye makeup was ruined by tears, and her cheeks were swollen, making her look even more disheveled than Gu Ze.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, neither of them speaking first.

Embarrassment is more torturous than pain.

Gu Ze looked away, his throat tightening.

The image of Shen Yan sitting deep inside the sofa was still etched in his mind.

The black shirt clung to his broad shoulders and narrow waist, the collar was open, his hands were long and slender, a lighter was lightly held in his palm, and he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.

He can't afford to mess with someone like that.

This debt can only be attributed to Jiang Li.

It must be Jiang Li who complained behind my back.

If she had been as obedient as before, things wouldn't have turned out this way tonight.

Seeing him like this, Bai Yuan's eyes quickly reddened again.

She bit her lip, as if she had been holding on for a long time, and finally leaned into Gu Ze's arms.

"Brother Gu Ze..."

Gu Ze's arm stiffened for a moment, but he still supported her.

"How could Jiang Li let her sugar daddy treat us like this..."

Bai Yuan's voice was weak, her cheek pressed against his chest, tears quickly soaking a small patch of fabric.

"Even if she was angry with you before, she shouldn't have gone this far."

Gu Ze's expression darkened further.

This sentence hit him right where it hurt the most.

In front of Bai Yuan, he was always a gentle and respectable senior, a man who could handle everything.

But tonight, he was pinned to the ground, and even had to ask Bai Yuan for help to pay back the money.

"Yuan Yuan, I'm sorry. Even if she was being difficult before, she would never have treated me like this."

Gu Ze gritted his teeth, his swollen face making his speech somewhat slurred.

"It's not your fault."

Bai Yuan raised her head, tears still clinging to her eyelashes, her cheeks swollen, yet she still managed to project a weak and dependent demeanor.

"I know you're upset too, but that 30,000 yuan... I really can't do anything about it."

Gu Ze was taken aback.

"What's wrong with 30,000 yuan?"

"That's because I took out a loan."

Bai Yuan lowered her head, her fingers gripping the hem of her clothes.

"I don't dare tell my family. If they knew I borrowed money for you, they would definitely scold me to death."

Brother Gu Ze, what am I going to do now?

"I don't have much money for living expenses each month. Will I be in trouble if I can't pay back the money?"

The guilt in Gu Ze's chest overcame his embarrassment.

He looked at Bai Yuan's swollen face and thought of how she had stood in front of him earlier.

This girl really felt sorry for him.

She was clearly scared too, but she was willing to spend money to save him.

But what about ginger and pear?

Jiang Li knew he cared most about his image, yet she still let that man trample him to the ground.

She used to pretend to be obedient and well-behaved, but in the end she was so ruthless.

Sixty-seven thousand three hundred yuan.

She even remembers it so clearly.

She was stingy, malicious, and deliberately made him lose face.
