I did not want to be outdone, so I coldly laughed, "Madam Zhu, don't say that this is a phoenix nest. Even if it is, I might not necessarily be willing to stay here."
"Then why are you pestering me? You want money, don't you? " She stood up, looking as if she had already seen through me.
I lowered my head, shook my head, and laughed. I pushed my hair back from my face and raised my eyes to look at her.
I learned this from Charlene, and it's easy to put pressure on someone who isn't paying attention.
"Madam Zhu, do you think I'm here for the money?"
"Isn't it?"
"Yes." I seriously nodded and pursed my lips. With a sincere gaze, I opened my mouth and said, "Even so …"
I dragged my tone as I looked at her disdainful sneer. She had a 'See, I got it right' expression on her face.
"What can you do with me?"
Her face was slightly stiff, as if she had not expected me to be so arrogant. Her face was full of anger, and her entire face was twisted.
Her venomous stare was fixed on me for a few seconds, and then she thought of something and her excitement subsided and her expression returned to its former elegance and dignity.
"Don't you want money? Give me a price. "
Hearing her start to talk about the price, I walked over slowly and sat on the sofa opposite her. "I didn't even ask for ten million when I was offered. Tell me, what should I offer?"
"What?!" She shouted in disbelief, so angry that the corners of her eyes twitched, giving me the feeling that she was going to faint in the next second.
"Feichen, how … "How is this possible …" she said to herself, her face unsightly.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask your son."
She sat unsteadily on the sofa, as if all her strength had been sucked out of her.
Was this bad? I sneered to myself. It's just an appetizer, compared to the pain of losing my family, your pain is nothing.
"100 million." After a long silence, she broke into a sullen voice.
That cold voice sent chills down my spine.
A hundred million … Hehe, even if I were to take it with my life, I probably won't be able to spend it.
From the moment I learned that she had frozen the hospital accounts, I knew that this woman, for her son's sake, would do anything to protect her power and interests.
In her eyes, human lives were worthless! Otherwise, she wouldn't have frozen the money knowing that her father needed the money to save his life.
"Lady Zhu." "Your offer is indeed tempting. A hundred million is enough for me to spend my entire life. However, unfortunately, your offer is still too low."
"Lu Man! Don't be so shameless! Do you think you alone are worth a hundred million? A married woman like you is like a shoe no one wants! If it wasn't for the child in your stomach, do you think I would let you in my house? "Don't think that you can sleep peacefully just because you've coaxed me. Let me tell you, as long as I'm still alive, I won't let you have your way for one day!"
I admire myself for being able to maintain a smile despite her relentless insults.
When you throw caution to the wind, there really doesn't seem to be anything that can stop you. Compared to the pain and hatred in my heart, it is nothing at all.
"Madam Zhu, I am indeed not worth a hundred million. A woman like me shouldn't have appeared in your Zhu family. I was about to leave anyway, stay far away from you and your Zhu family …" It was you who personally pulled me back. Have you forgotten? "
I looked at her with hatred and determination.
She finally understood what I was talking about. She turned pale with fright and looked at me in shock.
I looked at her mockingly but did not reply. Seeing that it was about time to take a bath and go to bed, I stood up and headed upstairs.
"Lu Man, stop right there!" She roared in indignation.
When I turned around, I saw her dark and fierce expression, as if she wanted to grind my bones and scatter my ashes with her hatred.
I straightened my back. The vengeful responsibility I bore did not allow me to retreat or fear in front of her.
"Madam Zhu, I believe you've forgotten something very important. It's better if I remind you of it."
She looked at me suspiciously, as if trying to guess what I was up to.
"A hundred million is indeed a very attractive offer, but I think I should wish you the title of wife. Which one would be more valuable? "Lady Zhu, I am not stupid. If I stay by your side and give birth to his first child, all I can get is a hundred million."
Contrary to my smiling face, Mrs. Zhu's face was filled with shock, anger, and hatred. If looks could kill, she would have already killed me countless times over.
I let out a huge breath and happily went back to my room. Even when I was bathing, I couldn't help but start humming a song.
By the time I came out of the shower it was half past nine, and I wish Vuitton hadn't come back from his study.
I didn't call him, but lay on my bed and played with my cell phone.
Suddenly, his cell phone vibrated. Following that, the bell rang. Someone was calling him.
I looked at the caller ID. It was an unfamiliar number from S city.
I hesitated. Accept it or not?
Who would look for me in the middle of the night? He always felt that there was nothing good to do.
A few seconds later, I answered. "Hello."
"Lumen."
Hearing Yang Jie's voice, my heart sank, and my tone became impatient, "Yang Jie? What business do you have with me? "
"You're already married to Zhu Wuchen, your methods are quite impressive." "I thought you might not be able to give me five million. If you did, I'd have to release the video to the public."
"How dare you! "There are still a few days until the end of the month. I will give you the money before the deadline."
"Hehe, you have to give me the money. However, it's not as small as five million." he said.
I angrily shouted, "Yang Jie, don't go too far!"
"Don't be angry, aren't you married to Zhu Wechen? With Mrs. Zhu's title, how could he be afraid of not having enough money? "I don't need too much. Give me 10 million and I'll immediately destroy the video."
When I heard the words' ten million ', my vision went black and I almost exploded in anger.
"Yang Jie, why don't you just rob them! Ten million, do you think that Zhu Qi Chen is a fool? I want him to give it to me! Five million is the limit of what I can offer! " Actually, I don't even have five million on me right now, but in order to stabilize Yang Jie, I have to say that.
Moreover, if he agreed to his conditions so easily, he wouldn't change his mind and ask for 20 million tomorrow, 30 million the day after. If this went on, the amount would only increase endlessly!
