Chapter 2292: Just Answer Whatever I’ve Asked
“Dear, what should we do now? The lawsuit is going to start the day after tomorrow. Qiao Zijin’s returning the next day. We…” Li Yayan was so worried that she was losing hair. She felt that if this matter continued, she wouldn’t be able to keep her long hair anymore. Li Yayan was worried about Qiao Zijin leaving halfway and was even more worried about the day after tomorrow.
Li Yayan felt that if the court was too efficient, they might even be able to obtain a result from this lawsuit the day after tomorrow. In the end, everything in the Zhu family would belong to Qiao Nan. If such a situation really happened, her father-in-law would hate her to death and insist on chasing her out of the Wang family.
Wang Yang gritted his teeth. “Don’t be anxious. We can’t be anxious. If there’s a need to, I’ll meet Qiao Zijin later today. I’ll take a look at her attitude. I don’t think she can let go of the five million yuan so freely.” It was precisely because Qiao Zijin married Chen Jun that Wang Yang knew clearly that Qiao Zijin could do anything shameless for the sake of money and a better life. She had no world views and bottom line to speak of.
Would such a person suddenly understand what righteousness, honesty, and the sense of shame were, and want face instead of five million yuan? Wang Yang smiled and said that even if the earth was going to be destroyed, there would never be a day where Qiao Zijin would become good.
A person forgets about the evils of the world and thinks only of good things nearing death. However, this sentence would never apply to Qiao Zijin.
“Dear, what if Qiao Zijin just wants to raise the price? What will you do?” At this time, Li Yayan only felt that their Wang family had no way out. They could only continue if they made Qiao Zijin stay. Even if they knew that Qiao Zijin’s so-called letting go and leaving was only so that she could ask for the sky, they could only become meat on the chopping board and let Qiao Zijin raise the price.
After all, compared to the Zhu family’s inheritance, Qiao Zijin’s raising of price would be limited.
Wang Yang sighed. How would Wang Yang not understand what Li Yayan could? “As long as she isn’t too overboard and only asks for double the price at most, it’s not impossible. However, this is the most I can give her.”
If not for Qiao Zijin being the only person he could possibly rely on, Wang Yang wouldn’t have been willing to spend so much money on her. Based on the shameless things that Qiao Zijin had done before, one knew that it would be very difficult for Qiao Nan to be moved by Qiao Zijin. In Qiao Nan’s heart, Qiao Zijin’s image might not be any better than his.
He knew that the possibility of Qiao Zijin’s success wasn’t high. As such, even if he offered a high price, it was impossible for Qiao Zijin to take it unless she showed some real skills. Compared to the Zhu family’s inheritance, ten million yuan was nothing.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t willing to fork out more rewards to tempt Qiao Zijin such that she would be desperate enough to go all out and make sure Qiao Nan agreed. It was that not only did he need to spend money to bribe Qiao Zijin, but he also had to give Qiao Nan enough benefits such that she would be willing to give up everything in the Zhu family.
Qiao Zijin wasn’t important. The headache was giving Qiao Nan money.
The couple had no other choice. Even if Wang Yang didn’t bother to have dealings with nobodies like Qiao Zijin, he still went to find her. Before Qiao Zijin left the capital, he was going to talk things out with her and make sure that she didn’t quit at this time.
“Oh, it’s so difficult to see you. Didn’t you refuse to answer my call before? You’re asking me out now. It shouldn’t be just because you want to treat me to a cup of coffee, right?” This was such an expensive coffee. If she had to fork out money on her own, Qiao Zijin would definitely not have come over. Even if she was feeling extravagant, there should be a limit to it.
Indeed, Qiao Zijin was happy that Wang Yang changed his previous arrogant attitude and came over to find her eagerly. At the same time, she was very angry. There was an unspeakable affair between Wang Yang and Chen Jun. Otherwise, based on Wang Yang’s identity, would he have to bow down to a divorced woman like her?
He had insisted on five million yuan initially. She was very curious. Now that Wang Yang came to find her again today, what other amount would he be offering?
Wang Yang wasn’t used to seeing Qiao Zijin’s smug look. It was a pity that he was begging her now, not the other way around. Wang Yang covered his gaze with his hand. “A straightforward person doesn’t resort to insinuations. You should know why I came here to find you today. Tell me your price. Before you do, let me remind you. It’s not easy to resolve this matter. Even if Qiao Nan agreed to reconciliation, I would have to fork out a lot of money on Qiao Nan alone. If you become too greedy, you can treat it as if I’m asking you out today just to treat you to a cup of coffee.”
He needed Qiao Zijin’s help. However, he was definitely not going to let a woman like Qiao Zijin control him. He, Wang Yang, was not someone that Qiao Zijin could threaten over and over again. There wasn’t a need for him to bow down to Qiao Zijin and compromise all the time either.
After drinking a sip of expensive coffee, Qiao Zijin smiled. “I’ve already listened to such words once back when you asked me out for coffee. My memory isn’t good, but it’s not that bad either, so you don’t have to remind me again. I understand clearly what you mean. You want to give Qiao Nan enough benefits. You will agree if I want a higher price, but there should be a limit to this, right?”
“Yes.” This time, Qiao Zijin’s understanding didn’t deviate. “Tell me your price.”
“Before that, let me ask you a question. I hope you can answer me honestly.”
“Regarding Chen Jun?” Aside from Qiao Nan and the Zhu family’s inheritance, there shouldn’t be any other conversations between him and Qiao Zijin. Wang Yang didn’t forget how sensitive the topic was on the last call. As he looked at Qiao Zijin’s persistence again now, Wang Yang understood vaguely. “In reality, it doesn’t matter if you know about this matter or not. It has no impact on the overall situation. Based on your situation, you don’t have to know so much either, right?”
Qiao Zijin was the one who snatched Chen Jun away from Qiao Nan’s hands. Whether Chen Jun was really sincere toward Qiao Nan or not, the person who should be concerned should be Qiao Nan. Why did Qiao Zijin want to know so much?
“You just have to answer my question. It’s my matter if I need to know or not. Since I’ve already asked, you have to answer. We can only continue the conversation if you answer me. Otherwise, I’ll leave now.” Qiao Zijin’s tone was a little harsh. Wang Yang looked down on her. He mocked her for snatching Chen Jun away from Qiao Nan. Wang Yang also looked at her as if she was a prostitute. Qiao Zijin wasn’t dead. She could feel it.
