Reborn with Consumption System

Yan Shuang instantly understood. Her background gave her an extraordinary sensitivity in this area.

"There must be a way, right? You’re so smart, didn’t you have any precautions at all?"

"There is indeed one last way..."

Wei Changming looked at Yan Shuang with a complicated expression. She was at the best age for a woman, still young, beautiful yet mature, possessing that kind of aloof and noble demeanor of a lady untouched by the mundane world.

Sending her completely away could solve part of the problem, right?

"Now, I’m afraid only President Han can help me reduce my sentence..."

Hearing that name, Yan Shuang’s eyebrows shot up: "You want me to beg him again?!"

Her memories of Han Lie were too vivid, that face half-lit in the light was like it was engraved in her mind, even today she could recall every angle and every detail clearly.

Because of this, she felt an intense sense of shame and anger.

"Do you remember his attitude towards me back then?!"

There’s a possibility!

Understanding Yan Shuang extremely well, Wei Changming instantly realized that it wasn’t helping him or accompanying Han Lie she rejected, what truly angered her was Han Lie’s condescension and mercilessness.

"This time is different, really, Shuang Shuang!"

Wei Changming immediately unleashed his persuasive skills, analyzing desperately.

"Last time, President Han was dissatisfied with our arrangements and control over him, feeling offended, it’s understandable for someone of his stature!

But now it’s a completely different situation—we’re at an impasse, so we go to him, it’s completely different in nature!

For him, helping me out is just a small effort.

He has such a good relationship with President Qiu; he just needs to say a good word for me, with very little cost, and it doesn’t leave any leverage against him, so why not?

As long as your attitude is pitiful enough, he will surely help!

If he is willing to help, I won’t have to spend decades in that small foul cell just to protect you!

Shuang Shuang, I’m not even 30 yet, can you bear to see me rot through my best years in that narrow, stinking prison cell?"

Wei Changming knew exactly how to manipulate Yan Shuang.

Even though Yan Shuang knew full well that this was just another one of his tactics, she was still unable to harden her heart and ignore him amidst her heartbreak.

"Wei Changming."

She took a deep breath, "It’s you who made the mistake, yet it’s me who pays the price!"

"I love you!"

Wei Changming was extremely decisive, his attitude solemn: "It is this overwhelming love that caused my mistakes, I’ve indeed become twisted, unworthy of you, but I still love you..."

"Your love makes me sick!!!"

Yan Shuang suddenly shouted, tears streaming down, turning and rushing out of the room.

But Wei Changming wasn’t worried at all, because he knew Yan Shuang would eventually compromise again... even though it might very well be the last time, but who cares?

Yan Shuang cares.

She returned to her car and broke down in tears on the spot.

This time, it was even more heartbreaking than that day in the KTV.

In that environment, with the catalyst of alcohol, she still held onto a sliver of hope for Wei Changming—thinking he was not sober then, let’s see again.

But in the end, Wei Changming, even sober, still chose to let her bear it.

Is there any excuse left now?

No, for him, she was just a tool from the beginning to the end.

Yan Shuang realized this, thus she cried to the point of feeling like heaven and earth were collapsing, and amidst her tears, she thought of Han Lie’s dashing yet heartless profile again.

The qualities of being dashing and heartless were the two things she hated the most now.

Yet, for some reason, when these were associated with Han Lie, not only did she not resent them, but instead felt an inexplicable sense of assurance.

During these months, she also kept asking herself, and the conclusion was interesting—it might be due to Han Lie’s attitude.

"I am willing to sleep with you, so you can get into my bed."

"You are not worthy to arrange my time and energy."

This dominant and self-centered mental core was the complete opposite of Wei Changming.

As steady as steel, as brilliant as a diamond.

Such a man would never change because of a woman, nor would he be brought to his knees by difficulties, naturally giving people a great sense of security.

For some women, this is a flaw.

But for Yan Shuang, this is the mental pillar she dreams of.

She truly wasn’t strong.

Her parents told her since childhood to be happy, live according to her will, do whatever she wanted, but never taught her to be strong, to support the sky herself when no one else could.

So...

It’s time to resolve all this!

One last time to help Wei Changming, also to personally ask Han Lie: Am I worthy?

Yan Shuang gathered herself, took out her phone, and dialed President Qiu’s number.
