Old Sun's eyeballs were trembling, and his heart was trembling too.
He was afraid that Wu Tian's words would plunge him into eternal damnation!
But Wu Tian had never been a cold-hearted person. He put on a stern face and said, "Alright, alright, don't give me this act."
"I can let today's matter slide, but as I said, don't involve family. I hope you understand this principle when you collect debts in the future."
Old Sun was clearly caught off guard by Wu Tian's forgiveness.
He excitedly thanked Wu Tian, "Second Brother! Thank you so much!"
"If you ever need anything, just say the word, and I'll go through fire and water for you!"
Wu Tian waved his hand and said, "No need for so much talk. You guys clean up Sister Liu Yan's place now, and then hurry up and leave."
Old Sun was eager to leave.
So he didn't say anything more and quickly led those thugs to tidy up Liu Yan's house.
Then, he fled as if his pants were on fire.
After Da Gou, Old Sun, and the others left, this debt collection incident came to an end.
Wu Tian looked at Liu Yan and said, "Sister Liu Yan, don't worry, they won't bother you again."
Liu Yan stared blankly at Wu Tian and asked, "Wu Tian, who exactly are you? Why are they all afraid of you?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "It's nothing. You don't need to dwell on this kind of thing."
"If there's nothing else, I'll head home to sleep."
Liu Yan wanted to say something more, but Wu Tian had already returned to his own home.
Looking at Wu Tian's retreating back, something seemed to be struggling in Liu Yan's eyes.
After a while, the struggle disappeared, and she quietly made a decision in her heart.
Wu Tian slept through the entire afternoon at home. When he woke up, the sun was already setting.
He went to the kitchen, intending to make a simple meal.
But at this moment, he received a call from Liu Yan.
Liu Yan said that to thank Wu Tian, she wanted to invite him over for dinner.
Wu Tian was too lazy to cook anyway, and since there was food available, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
So he agreed and then went to Liu Yan's house.
Liu Yan's kitchen and dining table were in the same area. When Wu Tian walked in, he saw that the dining table was spotlessly clean, not even a pair of chopsticks in sight.
The stove was also cold, with no sign of any cooking having been done.
Wu Tian couldn't help but feel confused.
With nothing here, what kind of meal was he supposed to eat?
He called out towards the living room, "Sister Liu Yan, I'm here, where are you?"
Liu Yan's voice came from the bedroom, "Wu Tian, come to the living room, I'll be out in a moment."
Wu Tian noticed that Liu Yan's voice seemed a little shaky.
But he didn't think too much of it and walked directly into the living room.
"Sister Liu Yan?" Wu Tian called out again.
At this moment, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Liu Yan walked out of the room.
And the moment he saw Liu Yan, Wu Tian's eyes widened in disbelief.
It was as if the nerves in his mind had snapped, and he was completely stunned.
Liu Yan was not wearing any clothes!
She was truly not wearing any clothes at all!
Completely naked!
He instinctively turned his body away, his expression flustered, and said, "Liu, Sister Liu Yan, what are you doing!"
"Wu Tian, turn around and look at me."
How could Wu Tian possibly turn around?
He said nervously, "Sister Liu Yan, didn't you invite me over for dinner? What kind of meal is this!"
Liu Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her voice laced with difficulty, "Don't you understand yet? This... this is the meal I'm treating you to."
Wu Tian's mind was hit with another wave of shock.
This was eating?
He quickly shook his head and said, "Sister Liu Yan, no, we can't do this!"
"Weren't you fine this afternoon? Why are you acting so strange now!"
Liu Yan's eyes trembled as she said, "Wu Tian, I have no choice. You helped me today, and after thinking about it, this is the only way I can thank you."
"And I'm really scared, I need a man to comfort me. Wu Tian... can you?"
Hearing Liu Yan say this, Wu Tian's heart suddenly settled.
It seemed that being constantly hounded by debt collectors had pushed Liu Yan to the brink of mental collapse.
She was just a village woman. Even though she was beautiful, what good was beauty?
Her mind was already tottering, and now she just wanted to escape everything through such means.
Wu Tian felt that Liu Yan was pitiful. If he took advantage of her in this situation, he would truly be a scoundrel.
He said in a deep voice, "Sister Liu Yan, I'm only saying this once. I hope you put on your clothes now."
"I know you're having difficulties, you can tell me all about it."
"But if you continue to stay like this, then I'm sorry, I'll leave."
Wu Tian's sudden stern tone made Liu Yan's delicate body tremble slightly.
After Wu Tian spoke, Liu Yan fell silent.
After about two minutes, Wu Tian prepared to leave.
But at this moment, Liu Yan's voice came from behind him.
"I've changed my clothes."
Wu Tian turned his head and saw that Liu Yan had indeed put on her clothes, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He smiled helplessly and said, "Sister Liu Yan, helping you is my duty. Please don't do this kind of thing again in the future, it's quite awkward."
Liu Yan's expression appeared somewhat dejected. She said with evasive eyes, "I don't want to be like this either. I don't want you to think of me as a promiscuous woman."
"But... but..."
As she spoke, Liu Yan's shoulders trembled slightly, and large tears fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Wu Tian gently comforted her, "Sister Liu Yan, I know you're under a lot of pressure. Please sit down, and we can talk slowly."
Under Wu Tian's persuasion, Liu Yan sat on the sofa.
But her expression remained dejected, and she didn't find any solace in Wu Tian's words.
Neither of them spoke for a while. Wu Tian felt the atmosphere was uncomfortable, so he spoke first, "Sister Liu Yan, your husband... how is he now?"
As soon as Wu Tian mentioned that scoundrel, a flash of anger immediately appeared in Liu Yan's eyes.
But soon, that anger disappeared. She sighed softly and said, "He hasn't been back for half a year. I heard he's incurred new debts elsewhere."
"When those people can't find him, they'll definitely come looking for me again."
"What kind of sin did I commit to end up with such a scoundrel?"
Wu Tian said, "Since things are already like this, why haven't you divorced him yet?"
"Your husband is not a good person at all. If this continues, he'll drag you down sooner or later!"
Liu Yan said dejectedly, "Of course I've thought about it. I've thought about divorce countless nights, but I'm afraid."
"Every time he comes back asking for money, if I don't give it to him, he'll hit me and say that if I dare to divorce him, he'll kill me."
"Tell me, what can a woman like me do?"
