Wu Wei's idea was simple.He had planned to spend the money on her under the guise of lending it to her.
Since she hesitated to borrow such a large amount, he decided to directly spend it for her.
After all, as long as the money was used by her, the method didn't matter to him.
Moreover, this approach could create an effect of a letdown followed by a pleasant surprise.
At first, it was agreed upon as a loan, and she also thought it was a loan, but in the end, she discovered that he bought it for her outright!
A 17-million-dollar house!
The psychological impact was simply too great!
He was sure to gain a significant boost in affection!
Indeed, upon hearing Wu Wei's words, Zhou Yujie was completely stunned.
He wanted to buy this house for her?!
This was 17 million we are talking about!
Although Wu Wei had initially mentioned that he would transfer the money to buy her a house, she thought it would be one of those ordinary houses costing ten or twenty thousand per square meter.
Even for such a house, she felt embarrassed to let him pay any more.
After all, he had already bought her a hot pot restaurant!
If she asked for more, she would seem too greedy and unreasonable.

That's why she proposed to borrow the money.
But to borrow 17 million was simply too much!
Even though the hot pot restaurant could make a lot, the future was unpredictable; who could guarantee that her restaurant would keep going and continuously make that much money?
Even though Wu Wei told her she could pay him back whenever, she couldn't truly be so cavalier about it.
With such an astronomical debt hanging over her, she would definitely feel a lot of pressure.
But unexpectedly, Wu Wei said he would buy it outright for her!
This caused a tumultuous uproar in her heart in an instant.
"No, no."
Having come to her senses, Zhou Yujie immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum, "This is too expensive; I can't accept it!"
"You're my sister, what can't you accept?"
Wu Wei reached out and gently grabbed Zhou Yujie's arm, looking into her eyes as he said, "Besides, you don't have a choice today, I've already decided to buy it!"
Wu Wei had a faint smile on his face as he spoke, but his words were very firm and forceful.
It gave a feeling of irrefutability.
Zhou Yujie couldn't help but feel an incredibly strange sensation in her heart.
Who insists on buying a house for someone like this?!
But at the same time, a profound sense of being moved welled up inside her.
It seemed that Wu Wei's affection for her was far deeper than she had previously thought!
He probably had made up his mind to buy her a house from the start, and the idea of lending was just a temporary measure to go along with what she wanted.
At the last moment, he revealed his hand, giving her such a huge surprise!
After all, if he was really planning to lend, he would not have taken the initiative to bring her to see such an expensive house.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yujie felt a surge of emotions.
Since her divorce, her life had been a mess.
The ridicule from relatives and friends, the criticism and misunderstanding from her parents, the frustrations and helplessness at work, the financial struggles and hardships of life, the continuous harassment, and fear...
She was deeply mired in the struggles of life, unable to extricate herself.
Not a single person reached out to lend her a hand.
Sometimes she really wanted to cry her heart out, but she knew that crying wouldn't help.
She still had to take care of Xuanxuan and live her life well; she had to be strong.
So she endured, gritting her teeth.
But at this time, Wu Wei appeared like a savior!
When they first met, she could hardly recognize him. The confidence and composure he exuded were a far cry from before.
After learning that he had made a fortune, she shamelessly sought his help for the first time, asking if he could take her under his wing, only to be flatly rejected by him.
She thought he didn't want to help her and felt very disappointed in her heart.
Figuring that since he couldn't help her with one thing, maybe he could help her deal with her ex-boyfriend's trouble, considering she had once helped him in the past.
Little did she know that fate was about to rewrite itself at this moment.
From his mouth, she learned that because of the help and care she provided at school, he had developed feelings for her like a brother would have for a sister.
Later, to help her solve her problems once and for all, he not only hired bodyguards to protect her and Xuanxuan, but also bought her the hot pot restaurant where she used to work!
He even let her personally fire Wang Xiong, allowing her to get a good dose of revenge!
She thought these actions were already the limit, but unexpectedly, he even planned to buy her an apartment worth 17 million!
At this moment, she felt that although he was not her real family, he was better to her than her real family!
[Zhou Yujie's favorability +7] S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Seeing the system prompt, Wu Wei felt a surge of joy in his heart.
Indeed, the favorability had increased!
With these 7 points added, the favorability score had reached 79 points!
Just one point away from earning attribute points!
However, this increase in favorability was somewhat less than he had expected.
After all, buying an apartment worth 17 million should have been worth at least 10 points.
Now that it was only 7 points, it definitely indicated that he had encountered a favorability bottleneck.
He wondered if this time Yujie's favorability bottleneck would be as easy to break through as the last time.
"Little brother, thank you!"
Yujie's beautiful eyes shimmered with touched emotions as she gave Wu Wei a gentle smile, which bloomed like a brilliant summer flower.
Wu Wei's heart couldn't help but quicken its pace at the sight.
Yujie said, and then stepped forward to hug him tightly.
She hugged with such force, as if clinging to her support.
Wu Wei frowned slightly.
He could clearly feel Yujie's body trembling slightly, and he even heard her distinct sobbing.
Is the senior... crying?
Wu Wei was very surprised.
But then again, it all made sense.
Over the past few years, she had suffered too much, endured countless grievances, with no one to talk to, nowhere to release them.
And now, seizing this opportunity, she finally let it all out.
Having realized this, Wu Wei's initially stiff arms slowly rose and then enveloped her tightly in his embrace.
At this moment, his heart was free of any distractions.
Only comfort and encouragement for her.
Even though he could distinctly feel the pressure against his chest, there was no reaction below.
"If you're calling me little brother, then we're family, so no need for formalities."
Wu Wei caressed Yujie's head with a touch of heartache, feeling a strong surge of protective instinct.
At this instant, the senior was no longer the big sister who used to take care of him, but a vulnerable woman in need of his care.
Only after a long while did Yujie finally stop crying, and then she reluctantly pulled away from Wu Wei's embrace.
"I'm sorry, I lost control of my emotions just now."
Yujie gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, then reached out to dry the spot on Wu Wei's chest where her tears had dampened it.
"It's okay, I understand," Wu Wei said casually with a smile, and then wiped the remaining tears from her face.
Seeing this, Yujie's face instantly revealed a shy smile.
Her expression and demeanor made her seem just like a little woman indeed.
