After he left, I pretended to call Chloe inadvertently: "Julian said he wanted to give me a villa today, do you think I should accept it?"
Chloe, who was still working overtime on Saturday over there, was extremely resentful: "Of course don't accept it, others will treat you as a gold digger if you do. Reject him! You must reject him fiercely."
I pretended to be ignorant and nodded: "Okay! I originally thought, if you like this villa, I could pass it on to you. Since you think this is more like gold digging, I'd better reject it! A house worth more than ten million."
Chloe, who originally wanted to persuade me to continue rejecting, seemed to be drinking water, and then she choked on the water.
After coughing several times, she quickly asked me: "How much did you say? A house worth more than ten million? Could it be a trap? Did he ask you to take a loan? Does decoration still need a large sum of money? That's a means to manipulate you; he wants to control you with money."
I shook my head: "I went to see the house, in Cloud District, fully furnished. He said he paid in full. If you don't want it, forget it."
I said, pretending to hang up the phone.
Even Chloe, who was bent on persuading me to stay away from Julian, was severely moved when she heard about the villa worth ten million.
She shouted loudly to stop me: "Don't hang up yet! Who said I don't want it? You are going to be self-improving in the future. Let me do this kind of gold-digging thing! You accept his kindness first, then immediately transfer the house to me. This way you can also maintain your persona of not bowing for money."
But when did I ever want to set up some broken persona of not bowing for money?
What is the meaning of living if not to make money?
Didn't she always shout at me not to accept any gifts from Julian before?
Why doesn't she shout at me not to rely on men but rely on myself at this time?
Turns out she has always been a double-standard dog. That set of rhetoric before was just to fool me. Just because I was simple and easy to cheat, she wanted to destroy my bright and brilliant future?
Really too vicious. How could I be so stupid back then to think she was thinking for me?
I was simply stupid to death in my past life.
