She's Come for Revenge

"Yi Yao, I can't use this money," Jiang Guo replied without hesitation. "This jade bracelet was purchased for Ge Zheng, and I owe him a great debt of gratitude. Six years ago, if he hadn't saved me in that fire, there wouldn't be me today."

"Besides, the surgical expenses from back then and all the various skills and knowledge I've learned over the years was paid by Ge Zheng. Even if we disregard the favor he did by saving me, just the funds he's spent on me over these years are countless. I've always wanted to find an opportunity to repay him, but he kept refusing. Now that he finally asked me for help with something, I don't want to use his money for such a trivial matter."

"But you don't have much money now, can't you repay him when you have more?" Yi Yao asked, somewhat conflicted.

Jiang Guo smiled and explained softly, "I understand him. If I use his money this time, he will absolutely not let me repay him. I already owe him enough, and I don't want to owe him more."
