Chapter 340 - 340 Wait a Moment!
340 Wait a Moment!
Lu Ailian once believed that she must have done something wrong in her past life, which caused her to suffer so much today!
Not only did she lose so much face today, but she also had to pay 10 million!
“Um,” Lu Ailian sat up from the sofa, no longer weak, and asked, “Su Ji, how did you know she was cured? This kind of thing…”
Even insanity can be cured?
What a joke!
Qin Bingjie squeezed the hand in front of her and took a step forward. “Mom, I’m fine now…”
“Shut up!” Lu Ailian shouted at her. “I can see that you are not getting better. You are getting crazier. Otherwise, how could you say such nonsense on stage?”
Xu Ni pulled her mother behind her.
“Don’t talk to me!” Lu Ailian replied.
Su Ji knew it would be difficult to get her money, so she said directly, “you can get the doctor to check on her.”
Lu Ailian’s eyes turned quickly. Qin Bingjie had indeed not relapsed for a long time, and she didn’t lose control despite what happened today.
However, it was unreasonable to spend 10 million for Qin Bingjie, especially after what had happened today. Lu Ailian was going to get her son to divorce her son when he got home, let alone spending 10 million on her!
Thinking about it, Lu Ailian carved out a false smile. “I see…” She glanced coldly at Xu Ni. “After what happened today, getting a doctor now will only make us the subject of gossip. Why don’t we wait a little longer? Your parents are so rich anyway, the 10 million won’t make a difference…”
Pei Huai’s expression was indifferent. After a few seconds, he left the lounge.
Seeing Lu Ailian’s face that looked like a thousand-year-old swindler, Su Ji’s expression gradually became cold.
She remembered when she took over the court after the king died in the Great Shang dynasty, she saw the thick account book that was left by the king’s grandfather. They were records of food and treasures borrowed from neighboring countries when he was young and impulsive.
The kind of debt that could not be collected for decades.
She thought that taking over the court was a good thing, but it turned out that she just inherited a bad debt.
It was a horrible experience.
Thinking of this, Su Ji’s forehead throbbed, and she was about to explode. But when she reached into her pocket, she found a piece of lychee candy, inexplicably calming her down.
She sneered, “Grandma Lu, are you… trying to cheat me?”
Lu Ailian raised her eyebrows without changing her expression. “How can I? How could you think of me like this?”
Xu Ni felt embarrassed. She remembered how Su Ji was treating her mother by massaging her, performing cupping therapy, and acupuncture, but her grandmother had the audacity to refuse to pay her.
She blushed and looked at Su Ji. “Don’t worry, even if my grandma doesn’t pay you. I will!”
Su Ji interrupted her, “whoever made the promise should pay me. It’s none of your business.”
However, when she turned to look at Xu Ni, she realized that someone was missing.
In the hall.
At this time, the packing was almost done and all the guests had left. Xu Jinzhe had just finished settling up with the person-in-charge when he saw a tall figure leaning casually against the floor-to-ceiling window.
Xu Jinzhe carefully approached him.
When he got closer, he realized that the man was on the phone.
The phone was next to his ear and his beautiful, slender fingers were pressed on the logo on the back of the phone.
The pure black phone and his fair fingers contrasted sharply, appearing refined and elegant.
Xu Jinzhe heard him say something about “defaulting on a payment,” “10 million,” “girlfriend’s debts, 10 million is still money…”
At first, it seemed like a tricky situation, but he remained composed and at ease, with the other hand tucked in his pocket the entire time. There was even a hint of a faint mocking smile on his brow, suggesting that the person on the other end of the phone was an old friend.
Xu Jinzhe had always been looking for an opportunity to connect with CEO Pei, and this was a heaven-sent opportunity, wasn’t it?
After Pei Huai hung up the phone, Xu Jinzhe approached him eagerly, “CEO Pei…”
Pei Huai slid his phone into his pocket and looked up in a casual manner.
Xu Jinzhe said, “CEO Pei, I just overheard you saying that you have a 10 million debt that hasn’t been recovered?”
Pei Huai’s gaze slowly shifted towards him.
Xu Jinzhe paused for a moment, then realized, “I accidentally overheard it just now. I happen to know a lawyer who specializes in this area, I’m not sure if they could be of help to you…”
This piqued Pei Huai’s interest a bit, “to be precise, it’s not me, it’s my girlfriend, whom you know.”
“Oh,” Xu Jinzhe replied, “It’s Su Ji, right? She’s good friends with my son…daughter, and I would be more than happy to help!”
As he spoke, he found the lawyer’s phone number. “This person is good at handling such big cases. The person will be sentenced to at least eight to ten years in prison.”
Pei Huai’s lips curled into a smile. “I wanted to negotiate first. Do you suggest that we sue them directly?”
Xu Jinzhe was dressed in a decent suit and said righteously, “with all due respect, it’s useless to negotiate with someone who owes you 10 million yuan.”
Pei Huai nodded calmly. “Then, Mr. Xu, please give me the phone number of the person you mentioned.”
Xu Jinzhe was very proactive and dialed the number immediately. “This lawyer is usually very busy. I have a bit of a relationship with him, so he should answer the call. I’ll call him first and then you can talk to him directly.”
Pei Huai said, “thank you.”
Immediately after, Xu Jinzhe went to the side to make a phone call. Three minutes later, he finished explaining and came back, handing the phone to Pei Huai.
Pei Huai was a clean freak and did not pick up the phone. Instead, he clicked on the speaker and said, “hello.”
The other person was very polite.
Not only did Xu Jinzhe want to get close to the Pei family, but the lawyer too.
Pei Huai then gave a brief summary.
“I heard that the plaintiff is your girlfriend, right? May I know who the defendant is? You can just say the name.”
Pei Huai didn’t know. He looked at Xu Jinzhe politely. “What’s your mother’s name?”
Xu Jinzhe didn’t understand why he suddenly asked this question. However, he wanted to please Pei Huai, so he told him without asking further. ” Lu Ailian.”
Pei Huai smiled and repeated the name, “you heard that, right? Lu Ailian.”
At first, Xu Jinzhe nodded, but the lawyer obviously heard that something was wrong, so he kept silent and did not reply immediately.
Pei Huai said, “that’s it. Please send the court summons as soon as possible.”
After saying that, he was about to hang up.
At this critical moment, Xu Jinzhe suddenly realized that something was wrong and stopped Pei Huai’s hand with both hands.
Wait a moment!
