Chapter 35: What Type of Person Did She Think He Was?

As soon as Song Wenxin saw the box containing the tie in his hands, she got very angry!
Unscrupulous businessman! Not only did he deny her request for a loan, but he also had to buy the tie on purpose, just to spite her!
The more she looked at him, the angrier she got. Eventually, she shifted positions and faced the other way, refusing to look at him, instead, looking out the window at the passing scenery!
Right about that time, Jiang Beihan turned sideways leisurely to glance at her, noticing from the look of fury on her small face that she was, indeed, very upset.
“Song Wenxin, get me a present!” he suddenly commanded.
He wanted her to give him a present!
Since it was what he had been thinking about, he had made that request.
“Huh?” Turning around to face him, Song Wenxin looked surprised, wondering if she had heard wrongly.
What did he mean by those words; that she should get him a present? Whatever for?
Without any explanation, Jiang Beihan pulled out a card from his pocket and passed it to her.
After taking another look for confirmation, Song Wenxin realized that it was a bank card.
“No PIN necessary,” Jiang Beihan then said.
“Is this for me?” Song Wenxin asked, a little surprised. Did he give her the bank card because he had not lent her the money to buy that tie as she had requested earlier?
“There’s two hundred thousand in the card, for your living expenses this month. Let me know if you need more.”
1Since they were married, he should be responsible for her daily needs, be it monetary or otherwise…
Once again, Song Wenxin was so amazed by his action that her jaw dropped. She had never met anyone who used money to force another to buy him a present…
It appeared that only Jiang Beihan could do something like this.
Every inch the successful businessman that he was, he made sure that every action was duly rewarded, including the task of buying a present.
Accepting the bank card, she asked a little apprehensively, “What type of present would you prefer?”
He had said so himself that he never engaged in any transaction that was not profitable, so, by giving her two hundred thousand, was he then expecting a present that was worth three hundred thousand?
1Which would put her out of pocket, big time…
“Whatever you decide!” Jiang Beihan replied nonchalantly, surprising Song Wenxin with his attitude.
“Even if it’s worth under a hundred?” Song Wenxin asked, trying to sus him out.
“I want something that you have made with your own hands!” he added, after having pursed his lips in thought for a while.
“But if you do not like what I have made, would you ask me to compensate you in cash?” Song Wenxin persisted, still suspicious and worried about his intentions.
“I don’t need more money!” Jiang Beihan bellowed irritably.
What kind of a person did she take him for?
In her opinion, was he really that bad?
“Okay, deal. I will try my best to give you a present that you will like!” Song Wenxin slapped her hands together and agreed gleefully.
Whichever way she looked at it, this was a transaction that was to her advantage!
No, she should say it was especially advantageous for her. While she had no clue as to why Jang Beihan wanted this done, she could only assume that he was bored out of his mind and had simply used money to mindlessly while his time away.
And, to her, this was no skin off her nose, having no negative impact on her… so she simply accepted the deal!
…
On the following day, Song Wenxin attended one session for that day and, with Jiang Beihan’s bank card in her possession, took the bus to the store that she had visited with Jiang Beihan the day before to buy a tie.
Since Jiang Beihan had already bought the tie on the previous day, the shop had replaced the display with the exact same one in the window.
Having studied the tie for a short while, Song Wenxin turned to the sales assistant and said, “Please wrap—”
At that time, a man’s elegant voice suddenly interrupted Song Wenxin’s request.
“I want that tie.”
