Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Clarifying the Situation

"Why don’t you explain properly how this situation came to be?"

She directly threw the documents in front of Song Xuan.

Song Xuan looked at the chat records and detailed locations on the documents, her expression stiffening for a moment.

She dreaded these records ever being revealed to Gu Qixiao, but now they were right in front of her, leaving her momentarily unsure of what to do.

"What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue?" Ji Yu, already aware of these matters long ago, was now curious as she observed Song Xuan’s reaction.

Surely, she wouldn’t still try to shirk responsibility, would she? If she did, it would truly be amusing.

"What do you want to say? Yes, I did these things, but so what? If you hadn’t seduced Xiao, I wouldn’t have done something like this."

Her gaze toward Ji Yu was filled with resentment.

Her once reasonably pretty face had become twisted with jealousy.

Ji Yu didn’t show much of a reaction to her expression. "It seems you might not be aware that these pieces of evidence, once sent to the police, will immediately get you arrested."

Some people are relatively ignorant of the law, which might explain their lack of understanding of these consequences.

But there was no way Ji Yu would let her slip away so easily.

"I’m quite reasonable, really. However, the things you did caused me significant losses. Shouldn’t you compensate me for those losses?"

She had no interest in stooping to other tactics.

Nor did she care to threaten; she simply wanted a resolution.

Song Xuan’s eyes darted evasively. "What do you mean?"

"I think my meaning is very clear. As long as you pay me sufficient compensation, this matter can be put to rest."

Of course, only she knew how much compensation was needed.

The choice between paying money or escalating the matter was entirely in Ji Yu’s hands.

Although Song Xuan understood the situation, she still didn’t know what to say.

"Go ahead, report it to the police. Even if you report me, Xiao will never let me get arrested."

"Oh? I’m curious about how Gu Qixiao will react when he learns all these things were done by you." Ji Yu took out her phone, seeming like she was about to call Gu Qixiao.

Song Xuan’s expression began to crack. "What do you mean? If you dare make that call, I’ll have someone drag you out of here immediately."

Her gaze carried a trace of viciousness, and she started scheming to accelerate her plans. If Ji Yu continued acting so bold, who knew when she might snatch Gu Qixiao away?

"My intentions are very clear. I’m not asking for much—just fifty million," Ji Yu stated coldly.

She knew Song Xuan wasn’t entirely wrong; regardless of how egregious her actions were, Gu Qixiao would ultimately bail her out.

Rather than ending up with nothing, Ji Yu might as well secure some money first.

This amount was reasonably calculated as compensation for her losses, and Ji Yu wouldn’t hesitate.

Upon hearing "fifty million," Song Xuan’s eyes widened in shock. "You’re not worth that kind of money. What the hell are you trying to pull?"

She had the urge to teach Ji Yu a lesson, yet under these circumstances, she couldn’t act publicly.

"I’ve explained it already. Pay up, and this matter gets swept under the rug. It’s a simple concept—I’m sure you can grasp it."

After all, this wasn’t the first time she’d dealt with such matters.

Song Xuan’s face darkened, clearly unable to produce that kind of money.

"If you can’t give me the money right now, that’s fine—just write me a promissory note. I’m reasonable like that. You don’t even have to pay it back right away; I’ll simply pass these details along to Gu Qixiao if necessary."

Going by Gu Qixiao’s temperament, if he ever found out the truth behind these events, he would undoubtedly cut ties with Song Xuan for good.

Grinding her teeth in frustration, Song Xuan eventually relented, though bitterness raged inside her.

"Ji Yu, mark my words. I won’t let this go so easily."

"Then bring me even more compensation—I’ll happily wait." Ji Yu was unbothered by the whole ordeal.

It was just another game of dramatics. She welcomed the chaos, but extracting money—that was the bottom line.

Of course, even patience has its limits. Ji Yu couldn’t tolerate indefinitely, and these matters were bound to boil over one day.

When Assistant Li entered the room, he immediately noticed the tense atmosphere. However, seeing Ji Yu with her usual calm and composed smile, he figured she hadn’t suffered any undue harm. He decided to ignore the situation and directly escorted Song Xuan out.

Song Xuan, filled with pent-up fury, felt helpless as she had nowhere to vent her frustrations.

"Assistant Li, take me to the office."

She intended to confront Gu Qixiao.

Did Gu Qixiao even know what kind of person Ji Yu truly was?

Perhaps Ji Yu was only interested in him for his money.

Assistant Li hesitated. "Miss Song, it’s not appropriate for you to visit the office right now. Besides, President Gu is currently very busy and may not have time for casual conversations."

She wasn’t going there for idle chatter; she was going to air her grievances.

"I’ll explain everything to Xiao properly. You just need to take me there."

She couldn’t afford to let her plans slip through her fingers in Gu Qixiao’s eyes.

When Gu Qixiao saw Song Xuan, his expression tensed slightly. "What are you doing here?"

He sounded as if speaking to a stranger.

Her face twisted in an anguished expression, making the situation appear exceedingly dire.

"I came to see Xiao, and I also wanted to talk to you about something."

She couldn’t let matters drag on.

"Go ahead."

Gu Qixiao knew Song Xuan had been behaving quite docile lately, but there was something peculiar about this encounter.

"Xiao, I want to talk to you about work. As you know, I’m quite familiar with the company’s operations. Can I come work at your company?"

She’d been considering this idea for a while.

If she couldn’t win Gu Qixiao over on Tiantian’s behalf, then proximity could be her next best tactic. After all, being close to him might yield an opportunity.

"You want to stay in the company?" For Gu Qixiao, this proposal posed a slight dilemma.

Still, appreciating Song Xuan’s apparent effort to put emotions aside, he eventually agreed.

"Assistant Li, handle the arrangements."

He wasn’t overly familiar with the specifics of Song Xuan’s situation.

Assistant Li’s face contorted with pain at this task, but he replied numbly, "Understood."

"Oh, Xiao, lately, I’ve come across some bags and clothes I like. May I use your card for them?"

She needed to figure out a way to deal with the money first; otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to proceed.

The thought of facing Ji Yu’s impending debt left her overwhelmed.

"Go ahead and use it." Gu Qixiao, always generous in such matters, would never begrudge her.
