Chapter 255: Money? What Money?

Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Money? What Money?

After busying herself at the job market all morning and interviewing with seven or eight companies, Han Jingting still hadn’t found a satisfactory job.

At noon, Han Jingting sat on the steps outside the job market, nibbling on a piece of bread and rubbing her sore legs.

Previously, Han Jingting had entered Han Corporation right after graduating from university, so she never really had job hunting issues before. She didn’t expect that now, as a mother, she’d have to face such a predicament again.

At that moment, Han Jingting suddenly remembered the twenty million mentioned by Chen Xuan that morning.

Even with that twenty million, Han Jingting had no intention of spending it because she knew very well that the money wasn’t really hers, it belonged to Yaowang Corporation!

Initially, it was Vice President Xue from Yaowang Corporation who approached the Han Family and assumed the twenty million debt, mentioning it was for a secret investment.

The last thing Han Jingting liked was owing someone, especially considering the person behind the twenty million was Zheng Qingxue from Yaowang Corporation!

Therefore, she was determined to pay back that twenty million!

Seizing the midday break at the job market, Han Jingting went to the bank next door to check her account balance.

However, after checking all her bank cards, Han Jingting didn’t find any trace of the twenty million.

Chen Xuan had clearly said that Meng Jinzhou had already repaid her the money yesterday, so why hadn’t she received it?

After hesitating for a moment, Han Jingting immediately called Chen Xuan and explained the situation on her end.

"What, you haven’t received it? Okay, hold on, I’ll ask Meng Jinzhou for clarification."

After hanging up, Chen Xuan called Meng Jinzhou.

"Mr. Chen!" Meng Jinzhou greeted him with utmost respect.

Chen Xuan got straight to the point, "Didn’t you say that you had already repaid the twenty million to Han Jingting yesterday? Why hasn’t she received it?"

Meng Jinzhou was astonished, "She hasn’t received it? That’s impossible, I personally went to return the money yesterday!"

Chen Xuan immediately thought of something, "Did you personally give the money to Han Jingting?"

"Oh, no, when I went yesterday, Miss Han wasn’t at home, so I gave the bank card to Miss Han’s mother and asked her to pass it on to Miss Han."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately understood what had happened.

The money was clearly with Ding Lijuan!

"Why didn’t you go to Han Jingting’s company to find her?" Chen Xuan complained.

Meng Jinzhou explained, "Actually, I first went to Han Corporation, but they told me that Miss Han had already been fired due to the counterfeit medicine incident, so that’s why I went to her home."

"Fired?"

So that woman had already lost her job!

No wonder she was willing to let Xiao Yu go back to live in the old alleyway, she couldn’t bear to have Xiao Yu suffer with her!

"Alright, I understand. I’ll call Jingting right now."

Chen Xuan immediately called Han Jingting back and clarified the situation about the money.

Han Jingting nodded, "I got it, I’ll go home and ask my mom about it later. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now."

Han Jingting was about to end the call.

"Wait a minute!" Chen Xuan suddenly spoke up.

"Is there something else?"

"You lost your job, why didn’t you tell me? Maybe I could help you find a better one..."

Han Jingting laughed bitterly, "You help me find a job? You mean you’d ask Zheng Qingxue to help me, right? Although I, Han Jingting, may not be very capable, I haven’t reached the point where I need a third party to find a job for me!"

Having said that, Han Jingting hung up the phone directly.

Chen Xuan sighed, realizing he must explain his situation with Zheng Qingxue as soon as possible; otherwise, he feared the rumors of his infidelity would plague him for a lifetime!

Twenty minutes later, Han Jingting took a taxi back to the Fenghua Residential Area.

Just as she arrived downstairs, she heard a roaring sound.

Turning her head, she saw a brand-new red Ferrari parked there.

The car door opened, and to Han Jingting’s astonishment, the two figures emerging were Ding Lijuan and Ding Liang!

Han Jingting was stunned; given her family’s financial condition, she would never associate her mother Ding Liang with a sports car.

"Jingting, you’re back? How is it? It’s not as comfortable as staying at home, is it?" Ding Lijuan said triumphantly, her brows dancing with delight.

Ding Liang also had a smile on his face, "Sis, welcome home!"

While he spoke welcoming words, Han Jingting felt more like an outsider, and Ding Liang seemed to have taken over as the master of the house.

"I didn’t plan to come back to live, I’m here for the money," Han Jingting stated her purpose bluntly.

But Ding Lijuan pretended to be confused, "Money? What money?"

"Of course, the twenty million! Meng Jinzhou said he already gave you the twenty million! Hurry up and give me the card, I need to look for a job this afternoon."

Ding Lijuan suddenly felt less confident.

Just yesterday, she and Ding Liang had been out buying a sports car, clothes, and having a big meal, squandering over four million.

That wasn’t all; last night, Ding Liang took Han Bowwen out gambling and ended up losing nearly a million!

Moreover, just a moment ago, Ding Lijuan had agreed to give Ding Liang five million to start his own company.

With all that, there was now less than ten million left in the account. Even if she gave all this money to Jingting, she feared that Han Jingting would not agree!

After pondering for a while, Ding Lijuan finally devised a plan—deny it all!

After all, there were no receipts or anything. As long as they adamantly denied it, no one would be able to do anything to them!

Right away, Ding Lijuan put on a clueless face and said with a smile, "Jingting, are you mistaken? I really didn’t receive any twenty million."

Han Jingting frowned, "Mom, what kind of joke is this? Meng Jinzhou clearly said he gave you the money."

Ding Lijuan looked innocent, "But I really didn’t get any money, you can ask Xiao Liang if you don’t believe me."

Ding Liang quickly echoed, "That’s right, Auntie indeed didn’t get the money."

Han Jingting was full of suspicion, suddenly having a thought, she pointed at Ding Liang’s car and asked, "Then where did this car come from?"

Ding Liang casually replied, "Oh, it’s my friend’s, just lending it to me for a couple of days."

Han Jingting felt her intelligence insulted, "A friend? You’ve been in Huai City for just over a week, from where do you have such friends? And who would be willing to lend you such an expensive car?"

"And the clothes you are wearing, it’s only been two days, and you both have changed into new clothes, and they’re all luxury brands at that!"

Han Jingting suddenly realized something, looking at Ding Lijuan in disbelief, "Mom, you didn’t spend that twenty million, did you?"

Ding Lijuan’s eyes darted about, unable to meet Han Jingting’s gaze.

At this point, how could Han Jingting not know what was going on?

She was immediately filled with rage.

The money given to her by someone else was squandered without even a word to her; did her own mother even consider her a human being!
