Unfortunately, she couldn't take in those words.

"I'm sorry about what happened with you two."

"Enough, stop with the pointless talk. If you need something from me, just say it directly.

No need to beat around the bush."

Having her intentions seen through, Wang Miao Miao's face flashed with anger, but she quickly concealed it, covering her mouth and laughing, "I thought you've changed, but it seems that's just on the outside. Inside, you're still such a straight guy."

Seeing her hesitating, he didn't indulge her and got up to leave.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going. I'm busy, I don't have time to play games with you."

The man's directness made Wang Miao Miao inwardly displeased.

But things were different now. She endured, grabbing his hand, "Da Sheng, I'm sorry. I came to you today because I need your help."

Seeing her get to the point, Sun Da Sheng sat back down.

Though originally her hand held his, he took control, looping it around to hold hers instead.

Wang Miao Miao exerted a little force, realized she couldn't break free, and quietly let him hold her hand.

She pursed her lips, a bit embarrassed, as she brushed her bangs with her other hand before saying, "I've heard from Lee Li about your situation. I know you've made it big now.

I won't beat around the bush either, I want you to help me out.

Don't worry, I'll definitely repay you afterward, you won't be helping for nothing."

"Go on, what's the matter?" Sun Da Sheng asked, unaffected, gently rubbing her soft hand.

Indeed, this woman's past life must have been exactly as his ex-wife described, very well off.

Otherwise, at her age, her hands wouldn't be so well preserved.

At the first touch, it was clear these were hands that hadn't done much manual labor.

Though not comparable to an eighteen or nineteen-year-old's, they were no different from a woman in her twenties.

Feeling his actions, Wang Miao Miao was pleased rather than alarmed, thinking it greatly increased the chance of persuading him.

"The current economic environment is bad. My husband's company is already insolvent and about to go bankrupt." She said, looking at the man beside her.

He seemed not the slightest bit surprised.

He had seen plenty of such cases lately.

Just within his own enterprises, quite a few had gone bankrupt.

Of course, he's different; with the system in place, he could earn it back with experience points.

Others don't have that kind of advantage, for them bankruptcy means throwing away years of hard work.

Going back to square one overnight.

Wang Miao Miao's husband was likely in that situation.

The fact that she came to him... Hmm... Sun Da Sheng seemed to have guessed a little.

"Of course, that's his issue, not something I came to you about."

"Then what is it...?" Sun Da Sheng realized he guessed wrong.

"We signed a prenuptial agreement. His company's assets have nothing to do with me. But I'm not a naive young girl, he invested in a secondhand luxury store for me, which is my premarital property. You should have heard about this from Lee Li, right?" She said, cautiously glancing at him.

"Mm." Sun Da Sheng nodded.

Thinking to himself: Those who built their empires from scratch weren't fools.

Only men like me, from a small-town background, working hard to support a family, would let women bleed them dry.

Those self-made, first-generation wealthy folks are indeed savvy.

They typically have their prenuptial agreements all neatly arranged.

Take Liu Qiangdong for example, after marriage, he only draws a $1 salary from Jingdong.

Now that's a truly smart man.

See how Tea Sister is completely under his control.

Even with such a scandal abroad, his domestic affairs remained stable.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're asking for help with that secondhand luxury store of yours?" Sun Da Sheng asked.

"Yes, that's right."

"How can I help you?"

"My store currently lacks liquidity. I just need a small amount of help from you." Wang Miao Miao gestured with her thumb and index finger.

"Why should I help you?" Sun Da Sheng asked.

Now that's getting to the point.

Indeed!

The guy might be wealthy now.

But why would he help you?

Just because you're a good friend of his ex-wife?

That identity shouldn't be a plus, if anything, it could be a minus, right?

Is Wang Miao Miao aware of this?

How could someone who snagged a Golden Son-In-Law not be aware?

But now she's at her wit's end, asking everyone possible for help, with no result, finally gritting her teeth and reaching out to this last straw.

"As long as I have it, as long as you want it, I can give it."

That wasn't a hint, it was explicit.

Meaning, if you help me out this time, anything I have, including my body, could be your reward.

Sun Da Sheng looked at her, a bit surprised.

Honestly, her looks deserved at most an eight.

Not comparable to his other women.

But her figure was definitely impressive.

Adding to that the charm of a mature woman, and the extra spice of being an ex-wife's best friend.

It indeed made him somewhat tempted.

The idea of getting involved with an ex-wife's best friend?

That thought had crossed his mind before.

But it was always a fleeting fantasy.

He knew it was impossible, not only because his own principles wouldn't allow it, but also because she wouldn't have fancied him back then.

"Really, anything?" Sun Da Sheng probingly placed his hand on her waist.

She shuddered, her fair neck visibly turning red.

She was indeed a gold-digger, but such women were all too aware of their strengths.

So before marrying her husband, she adhered to her virtues more so than any so-called good girl around her.
