351: Chapter 351 Are you crazy? Asking a bathhouse attendant for money? - 2

"How about it? Do you believe me now?"

Jiang Ye glanced at her and leisurely pulled back his phone. "I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as we establish a relationship, that eighty thousand I mentioned just now is a piece of cake."

He paused, his tone becoming increasingly 'sincere.' "If you still don't believe me, I can swear! I'll take any oath—struck by lightning, hit by a car, you name it. I'm a man of my word."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand to begin swearing.

Jiang Shuang suddenly snapped out of the shock of the massive figure. Seeing Jiang Ye about to swear, she hurriedly grabbed his hand mid-air.

At this moment, as she looked at Jiang Ye again, she felt as if the man before her was radiating a golden light.

What smooth-talking? What erratic thinking? Even that annoying smirk on his face seemed so kind and charming now!

The expression on her face softened so much it was almost melting, and her voice became so sweet it could practically drip water:

"Jiang Ye~ No need to swear! I believe you! I completely believe you now! Actually... actually, even if you didn't give me money, I'd still be willing..."

She was halfway through when she suddenly noticed Jiang Ye's eyes light up, as if he'd heard some incredible news. Her heart skipped a beat, and she abruptly changed her tune:

"...I'd also be willing to come out and have dinner or go shopping with you when I have time."

After saying that, two red clouds drifted onto Jiang Shuang's face. She gave him a sweet smile, took two small steps back, lightly hooked the edge of her bath towel, and gave it a gentle tug.

The bath towel slid to the floor.

"..."

Jiang Ye looked her up and down, his face as calm as still water. He pointed to the bath stool next to them. "Turn around and bend over."

"Mhm..."

Jiang Shuang's face grew even redder. She let out a soft moan, slowly turned around, leaned over, and braced her hands on the bath stool, striking a seductive pose as she waited for the imagined storm to hit.

...

...

Three minutes later.

"Alright, I'm done scrubbing."

Jiang Ye tossed the towel aside and cleared his throat, his tone relaxed. "I'm heading out first. Hurry up and rinse off and get dressed. There are still two people waiting to use the bathroom outside."

"...?"

Jiang Shuang slowly turned her head. Looking at the man standing in front of the mirror adjusting his hat, her mouth gradually fell open, and she was completely petrified.

Wait...

Buddy?

Are you serious?

You had me turn around, bend over, and stick it out...

And then...

You freaking gave me a back scrub?!

I even took off my towel! The mood was all set! And you just scrubbed my back?!

I...

I freaking...

"Alright, alright, a quick scrub is good enough. There isn't even a loofah in this guest room..."

Jiang Ye glanced at her through the mirror. Seeing her expression as if she'd been struck by lightning, he curled his lip in disdain:

"Scrubbing with a towel isn't as effective, but you're pretty clean. Not much dirt came off. It was just a token gesture."

"Huh? Dirt?"

Jiang Shuang's mouth hung open. She felt a rush of blood to her head, so angry she nearly fainted on the spot. "Wait... I..."

Jiang Ye swept his eyes over her naked body again and waved his hand impatiently:

"Hurry up and get out when you're done. Don't hog the bathroom. I'm going out to ask Xiao Qin if she needs a back scrub. Business is booming for your Buddy today!"

With that, he reached for the bathroom door, poked his head out, and shouted, "Xiao Qin! Do you need..."

Before he could finish, he was violently yanked back by a massive force.

Jiang Shuang had hurriedly wrapped herself in the bath towel. She was gritting her teeth as she grabbed his sleeve:

"Jiang Ye! What do you mean by this?! Transfer me the money! Eighty thousand!"

Jiang Ye was pulled into a stumble. He looked at her with a bewildered expression. "For what? What did I do that I should transfer you money?"

"You..."

Jiang Shuang was trembling with rage. She pointed at herself, then at him. "You already did that to me!"

"Did what? I didn't even take off my pants. What could I have done?"

Jiang Ye looked confused. "You were the one who called me in for a back scrub. I kindly helped you out, and now I have to pay you? Are you crazy?"

Jiang Shuang was about to cough up blood. "But you touched me, didn't you?! Your hands were rubbing all over my back just now!"

"Are you mental? Who touched you? My hands were separated by a towel! If there are fingerprints, go ahead and call the police."

Jiang Ye rolled his eyes. "By your logic, if I pat someone on the back through their clothes on the street, I have to pay them? Your scam is even more ruthless than a staged accident!"

"..."

She was left speechless, her chest heaving violently. After a long while, she managed to choke out, "But you saw me, didn't you?! You saw everything?! That's a fact, isn't it!"

"Don't you talk nonsense!"

Jiang Ye instantly closed his eyes and took two steps back, his face full of righteous indignation:

"Can you just throw around words that ruin a person's reputation? If word gets out, my name will be ruined! I, Jiang Ye, am a man of integrity. I had my eyes closed the whole time just now and didn't see a thing! Don't you dare defile my innocence!"

Jiang Shuang watched him fumbling toward the door. Her mouth twitched uncontrollably, and she felt her temples throbbing, nearly passing out from anger.

How could such a brazenly shameless person exist in this world?!

Jiang Ye squinted through a crack in his eyelids to peek at her. Seeing that she was about to explode with rage, he finally opened his eyes again. "Alright, alright, who are you showing that sour face to?"

He grinned, walked over, and patted her chest to help her catch her breath:

"Let me tell you, I'm teaching you a lesson! I'm letting you know how sinister society is. The path of being a sugar baby isn't all smooth sailing; there are pitfalls everywhere! Your skills are too shallow! If you hadn't met a 'good man' with principles like me, anyone else would have used you for free until there was nothing left of you! You need to constantly improve your professional quality and risk prevention awareness to go far on this path, understand?"

"So according to you..."

Jiang Shuang ground her teeth, squeezing the words out from between them: "Do I have to thank you then?"

Jiang Ye clicked his tongue, picked up his phone from the vanity, opened the WeChat chat, tapped a few times quickly, and then waved the screen at her.

The screen showed a recently completed transfer—13,140.00, with the note: Voluntary gift, stay happy.

"There, I'm not asking you to do anything. This is simply to thank you for the pleasant mood you brought me... Yeah, thanks for your hard work."

Jiang Shuang looked at the transfer, which wasn't a small amount but was far below her expectations. Her emotions were complicated to the extreme.

On one hand, she got something; after all, it was over ten thousand yuan, which was more than several months of her internship salary.

On the other hand, compared to her psychological expectations and the wealth Jiang Ye had displayed, it was a mere drop in the bucket, and the process was absolutely speechless.

"Alright, keep your thanks to yourself. I never leave my name when I do good deeds."

Jiang Ye waved his hand casually. "Hurry up, get dressed and get out. There are two people waiting to use the bathroom. Have some consideration for others."

After saying that, he ignored the bewildered Jiang Shuang, turned around, pulled open the bathroom door, and walked out coolly.
