Chapter 400: Offer Me to You

n a hotel not far from the restaurant, the two people started kissing passionately and touching each other's bodies as soon as they stepped into the elevator. 。When Xiang Tian finally managed to open...Toward Tian said what he did, taking He Ruyao to a big hotel for a grand meal, and then took her to Wangfujing shopping street, making He Ruyao overjoyed.

This girl who came from the mountains, seeing all kinds of beautiful clothes in the marketplace, would also have shining eyes. However, when asked by heaven to buy her clothes, she refused.

In her words, she doesn't need these clothes now that she wears a uniform every day. In reality, everyone knows they can still wear casual clothes on weekends. This girl is stubborn and refuses to accept too expensive gifts.

Actually, those clothes only cost a few hundred yuan each. For the girls in Beijing, such clothes could be considered cheap, but in the eyes of this girl who grew up poor, they were ridiculously expensive.

In the end, she didn't get anything. All she had was a big bag of snacks bought by Xiang Tian for her, happily heading back to the camp. She couldn't bear to eat on the way and said she would share them with everyone when she got back.

After sending He Ruyao to the car, Xiang Tian returned to the Siheyuan courtyard. Just as he reached the entrance of the alley, his originally good mood suddenly turned sour.

Dajue'er was standing at the mouth of the hutong when she saw him. She hurried over to greet him.

“What are you doing here” Xiang Tian glared at Dayu’er. She was wearing a coffee-colored short wool coat, paired with a pair of black tight-fitting trousers and a pair of black mid-heeled leather shoes, making her legs appear long and slender. She had a red silk scarf around her neck, a brown-yellow leather bag slung over her shoulder, and her gloved hands tightly grasped the strap of the bag.

This woman is still very good at dressing herself, both in her clothing and appearance. She doesn't seem to have made a deliberate effort in her outfit or makeup, but she always manages to perfectly showcase the unique maturity of her age, making her appear incredibly feminine. However, compared to before, her face is paler, and even bloodshot veins are visible in her eyes. She looks very haggard, so it's likely she didn't sleep all night last night.

"I..." Dayu whispered, "I want to ask you to help me tell He Lao to let my brother go."

"Why should I help you" Xiang Tian said coldly, his gaze sharp and piercing as he stared at Dayu'er.

Dayu quickly lowered her head after meeting Xiangtian's gaze. In front of him, she no longer possessed the former dominance and aloofness.

She took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to Xiangtian with both hands.

"Here is all my savings, over five million dollars, please!"

He let out a cold laugh and said, "Do you think I'm short of money"

"No, I...I didn't mean that." Daiyu's face was filled with sorrow as she stammered, "This is just a small token of my affection. As long as my brother can return safely from the confinement room, I would give you anything."

"Everything for me" Xiang Tian smirked, his eyes scanning Da Yu'er from head to toe like a wolf eyeing a plump lamb.

Da Yu'er's face suddenly flushed red, biting her lips angrily as her chest heaved. She understood the meaning in Xiang Tian's words, which was a great humiliation to her.

For so many years, there have been plenty of lecherous men who tried to take advantage of her, but none of them ever succeeded. She harbors a deep hatred for men in her heart, and she would rather die than let those men get their way.

But, today I really have to use my own body to get my big brother back safe

Her heart was screaming, her teeth almost biting through her lips yet she remained oblivious. After a fierce internal struggle, she finally gave in.

"Just like being bitten by a dog," she thought to herself, calmly saying in her mouth: "Yes, I can give you anything, including myself!"

She had no choice but to compromise. Although the Xie family was considered well-off in Beijing, with influence in politics, business, and military circles, they were practically a blade of grass at the feet of an elephant compared to the He family. If the He family so much as moved a finger, the Xie family would face utter ruin.

From last night to this morning, all of her assets, including Fang Yuzhai, were sealed. This was likely just the beginning, and no one knows what will happen next.

She came to plead with him, ostensibly asking him to spare Xie Mingliang. In reality, she was pleading for him to spare the entire Xie family.

Big Yu'er was still very smart, knowing that attitude toward Tian in this matter was the most crucial. As long as he was willing to say a word for her, the He family definitely wouldn't make things difficult for the Xie family again.

"Joke, do you think I lack women" Xiang Tian paced back and forth in front of Dayu'er, sneering. "What qualifications do you have to say that to me Do you think you're precious and valuable Don't forget what I told you, don't take yourself too seriously!"

After finishing his words to the sky, he strode away and entered the alleyway, returning to the Siheyuan courtyard. Dayu stood frozen in place, completely motionless. Suddenly, tears welled up like a spring, and she covered her face and cried bitterly.

This afternoon, Xiangtian played several rounds of chess with the old man in the courtyard. He rarely let the old man win a game, but today he did! Old Master He was so delighted that he laughed out loud and patted Xiangtian's shoulder heavily a few times.

"Kid, don't tell me you went easy on him"

"Massaging his shoulders with a wry smile, he said, 'I didn't let up at all. Your chess skills have improved!'"

The old man burst into laughter and said, "Come, come, come! Let's have another 300 rounds! I won't be called He if I don't rout you completely today!"

Tianlan, who was knitting by the side, glanced at the two elders and let out a "poof" of laughter. She had seen through it all along; just now, Xiangtian had really been letting his grandfather win at chess.

Xiang Tian raised his head and gave her a wink, signaling her to keep quiet. Tian Lan nodded quietly and bit back a smile.

Then, the old and young battled for three more rounds. In the end, the old man still won two out of three, failing to crush his opponent completely. Angered by this, he flew into a rage and overturned the chessboard.

Facing the sky, he couldn't help but smile wryly. He was just thinking of a way to cheer up his grandfather when his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Thinking it might be a spam call, he hung up.

He quickly said to the old man, "Please calm down and don't get angry. If you keep making a fuss, it might upset Lan Jie's baby in her tummy."

The old man was indeed afraid of this. Hearing Xiangtian's words, he stopped grumbling. He inquired about Tianlan's health and then went back to his room.

Xiang Tian picked up the scattered chess pieces on the ground and whispered to Tian Lan, “The old man is taking advantage of the situation to play coy and refuse to change his surname. He's just a cunning old fox.”

Tian Lan covered her mouth and laughed until she was in tears, laughing so hard that her stomach ached. She quickly suppressed her laughter and said, “Stop talking, my stomach hurts from laughing too much.”

He was startled and quickly checked on Tian Lan. After confirming she was fine, he finally relaxed.

At this moment, his phone rang again, still from the same number.

After he answered, a voice full of enthusiasm came from the other end: “Tian Shao, it’s me, Luo Dagui, Luo Fatty!”

"Turns out it's him. Xiang Tian smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Luo Ge, I thought it was a spam call just now."

"It's nothing, Tian Shao, you weren't up to anything last night, were you I heard Lan Jie say that after they took you to the military camp, they even put you in confinement"

"By the way, Luo Ge, thank you again for this. If you hadn't called Lan Jie, I would have been in real trouble last night."

"Saying thanks would be too much, Tian Shao. Do you have time tonight I'd like to invite you over for a drink and welcome you properly. Would you be free"

He looked up at Tianlan and she smiled and nodded.

Xiang Tian agreed to Luo Pazi's invitation and made an appointment to meet him at his Yu Long Xuan restaurant at 6pm.

"After he hung up the phone, Tien Lan smiled and said, “This Luo Da-gui knows all sorts of people from all walks of life. You should get to know him. It'll broaden your horizons.”

Bowed in assent.

"However, there's one rule: you can't get involved with any shady dealings. If I find out, be careful."

"Lan Jie, is that really who I am" Xiang Tian said with a bitter smile.ll over, and then squats in front of Xie Hongwei, taking out his thing and blowing it.After they were done, the two people tidied up their clothes and sat on the sofa, chatting in low voices. 。The voi...
