Versatile Sword Cultivator

Chapter 59 – I was wrong, I dare to do it again in the future

Zhang Guangwei's face turned ashen, realizing that his first plan seemed to be falling apart.

Originally, he intended to trick Gu Qiuxue and her colleagues into the most luxurious hotel, order a ton of expensive dishes, and make her foot the bill.

Given Gu Qiuxue's financial situation, she definitely wouldn't be able to pay.

At that moment, he would step in as the hero, not only gaining her favor but also making her owe him a large sum of money.

In her past life, Gu Qiuxue had indeed fallen for this trick.

She celebrated her birthday, racking up a huge debt to Zhang Guangwei. When Lin Jichen didn't show up, she called his college dorm mates and found out that Lin Jichen was in a relationship, avoiding her because of it.

Heartbroken, Gu Qiuxue was deeply saddened. Zhang Guangwei, pretending to be a good man, showered her with care and played the role of a gentleman.

Later, under pressure from her parents to marry, and with them also favoring Zhang Guangwei, Gu Qiuxue, having lost Lin Jichen and given up on love, married Zhang Guangwei as her parents wished.

However, on their wedding night, Zhang Guangwei, drunk and boasting to his friends, revealed all his dirty tricks on how he had ensnared Gu Qiuxue.

Gu Qiuxue overheard everything.

Knowing she had been deceived, but considering her parents and relatives were present, she chose to endure temporarily.

That night, she tried to escape the marriage but was caught by Zhang Guangwei's parents and failed.

Gu Qiuxue wanted a divorce, but Zhang Guangwei refused. Helpless, she continued as his wife in name only, moving to the hospital's female dorm and living separately from him.

Throughout, she never let him touch her.

No matter how Zhang Guangwei pleaded or played the victim, it was useless.

Frustrated, Zhang Guangwei dropped his facade and began to retaliate against Gu Qiuxue.

He first painted himself as a cuckolded man, spreading rumors in the hospital that Gu Qiuxue was cheating on him, throwing all sorts of dirt on her.

Gradually, Gu Qiuxue became a target of public scorn, her reputation ruined, with everyone calling her a slut.

Even her own parents believed the rumors and cut ties with her.

Gu Qiuxue fell into depression and eventually committed suicide by taking pills in her dorm.

That was Gu Qiuxue's fate in her past life.

Although his first plan failed, Zhang Guangwei had a second plan ready.

A new, sinister scheme was brewing in his mind...

At this moment, Gu Qiuxue, recognizing the person in the car as her brother, hurried over.

"Little Chen, did you buy this car?"

Lin Jichen smiled and nodded, "Yes, but it's not for me. It's your birthday gift. Do you like it, sis?"

"Like it? How much did this cost? Little Chen, I can't accept this gift. You need to return it," Gu Qiuxue said, feeling dizzy.

Lin Jichen, unconcerned, replied, "It's non-refundable. The license plate is already done. How can I return it?"

"You're spending money recklessly! At this rate, even if you earn millions, you'll spend it all quickly," Gu Qiuxue said, holding her forehead in frustration.

Lin Jichen chuckled, "That's why you should quit your job early, sis. Then I'll hand over all my assets to you, and I won't have the chance to spend recklessly."

"You... You're going to be the death of me, silly brother!"

Gu Qiuxue reluctantly accepted the reality.

"Get in the car, sis. I've arranged everything for your birthday."

Gu Qiuxue glanced at her colleagues behind her and hesitated, "But what about my colleagues?"

"They're taken care of too. Look behind," Lin Jichen pointed to the cars behind them.

Gu Qiuxue turned and was shocked to see several luxury vans parked behind the sports car.

"Did you buy those too?"

Gu Qiuxue clutched her chest, fearing she might faint.

"Of course not. Those are just rented to pick up your colleagues. It didn't cost much."

Gu Qiuxue felt relieved. If those had been bought too, she would have rushed back to the hospital for a heart medication.

"I'll deal with you when we get home."

Gu Qiuxue lightly scolded Lin Jichen before going back to explain to her colleagues.

When everyone learned that the sports car belonged to Gu Qiuxue's cousin and the luxury vans were there to take them to dinner, their jaws dropped.

Zhang Guangwei's eyes burned with jealousy.

"Everyone, get in the cars. We'll meet at the hotel."

After greeting everyone, Gu Qiuxue quickly returned to Lin Jichen's sports car.

She was determined to give her reckless, money-spending brother a good talking-to.

The group set off.

In the car, Gu Qiuxue, in her sisterly manner, began her gentle yet ineffective lecture, rambling on.

"Do you realize your mistake?"

"Yes, I know. I was wrong. I'll dare to do it again," Lin Jichen replied mischievously.

Gu Qiuxue was both amused and exasperated, not knowing how to deal with him.

"This car is expensive, right? It must cost millions. I heard sports cars are that pricey."

Lin Jichen shook his head, "No, it's a domestic brand called Falcon. It's cheap, only about 800,000."

"That's still expensive. You said this car is for me?"

"Yes."

"No, no, you take it back. I don't want this car."

Gu Qiuxue shook her head repeatedly, not daring to drive such a car.

"I don't care. I'll leave the car at your place before I go. If you don't drive it, let it gather dust. I heard cars deteriorate quickly if not driven."

Lin Jichen's stubbornness made Gu Qiuxue both angry and amused.

But she knew Lin Jichen just wanted to give her the best, just as she did for him.

She couldn't help but feel touched.

"Wow, this hotel is so luxurious!"

"Yeah, I've never been to such a high-end place in my life."

"Dr. Zhang must be really rich to choose such a nice place."

"Still, it's Qiuxue's brother who's rich. He even bought a sports car."

***

The group arrived at Fuding Hotel, marveling at the opulence.

Zhang Guangwei, seeing Lin Jichen arrive, assumed the kid had rented those cars to show off and now had no money to book a hotel, so he conveniently came to the one he had booked.

Absolutely!

There's no way a poor guy like him could afford those cars.

Hmph! Trying to steal my thunder? You're still too green!

At this hotel, let's see how you keep up the act.

Realizing this, Zhang Guangwei smirked coldly and once again positioned himself at the center, becoming the main character.

"Everyone, the car fare was covered by Qiuxue's brother. Considering his young age and limited funds, I'll handle the hotel arrangements. I've already booked a private room on the second floor of Fuding."

Zhang Guangwei couldn't hide his smugness as he explained, "Fuding Hotel has five floors, each with different pricing and booking standards. The first floor costs around 10,000 per meal, the second floor 50,000, with a 10,000 deposit required in advance. The higher floors are even more expensive."

Wow!

Everyone was amazed. A meal on the second floor of this hotel cost as much as their annual salary.

The world of the rich was beyond their imagination.
