Chapter 381: How Is That Reason Enough?
Jian Ai looked at Wang Yunfa with a funny expression, as if she was looking at a fool.
Wang Yunfa felt a fire burn in his heart when a junior looked at him like that. However, before he could flare up, Jian Ai smiled and said, “Of course I know. Otherwise, am I a fool? I spent two hundred thousand yuan to buy your two courtyards that are at most worth one hundred thousand yuan!”
Jian Ai’s words were mocking, but she didn’t deny it at all. Such a direct answer caught Wang Yunfa off guard, and he froze on the spot.
This… Was she admitting that they knew in advance?
“Aren’t you cheating your uncle?” Old Madam Wang was angry. She looked at Jian Ai and raised her voice.
Jian Ai, on the other hand, was not afraid at all. Instead, she was calm. Hearing this, she could not help but whisper, “What are you talking about, Grandma? Those two courtyards were worth a hundred thousand yuan back then. I gave two hundred thousand yuan to Uncle. Why did it become that I cheated on him?”
“When Uncle was getting married and urgently needed money, I helped him. It’s fine if you don’t know how to be grateful, but how can you accuse me of cheating him?”
“You’re a child who likes to say nice things!” Wang Yunfa was filled with anger. He looked at Jian Ai and glared at her. “If you told me about the demolition long ago, would I have sold that courtyard? Aren’t you trying to cheat me?”
Faced with Wang Yunfa’s anger, Jian Ai pursed her lips disapprovingly. “Of course, helping you with your urgent need is one thing, but earning money is another.”
“I knew South City was going to be demolished, so I thought that these two courtyards would appreciate in value.” As she spoke, Jian Ai looked at Wang Yunfa and said seriously, “So I definitely can’t tell you this. If I tell you, who will sell their yards to me? Where can I earn money?”
“You…” Wang Yunfa choked on Jian Ai’s words. He didn’t know how to respond.
If Jian Ai didn’t admit it, he could still find something to argue with her.
However, not only did Jian Ai not hide anything, but she even admitted everything. She spoke recklessly, and her intentions were clear. She wanted to earn money.
“Even if you want to earn money, you can’t use your uncle!” Old Madam Wang spoke again. She looked at Jian Ai and said in an unquestionable tone, “Quickly, take out the deed and return it to your uncle. Later, ask him to return the two hundred thousand yuan to your family. Pretend that this never happened.”
“Two hundred thousand yuan?” Jian Ai smiled and shook her head. “I’m afraid not.”
“Then what do you want?” Old Madam Wang was anxious, especially when Jian Ai was smiling. It made her angry.
Jian Ai pouted and looked as if she was considering things. After a while, she said faintly, “The value of these two courtyards is much more than that now. Back then, I bought them for two hundred thousand yuan and let him earn one hundred thousand yuan. After all, at that time, they were only worth one hundred thousand yuan.”
“But now that these two courtyards are for demolition, there’s at least a million yuan of demolition fees and two relocation houses. Grandma, you want me to let my uncle have them back for two hundred thousand yuan. So after working for so long, I didn’t earn a single cent and even lost out on over a million yuan? How is that reasonable enough?!”
As soon as Jian Ai finished speaking, Jian Yu walked out of the house.
Without waiting for the old lady and Wang Yunfa to speak, Jian Yu walked up to Jian Ai and shielded her behind him. He looked at the two of them and said, “Grandma, Uncle, we already bought the houses. There’s no reason for us to return it. If someone else bought these two courtyards, would you still dare to come and ask for them? You can’t think that it’s easy just because my family bought them.”
