Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Name Your Price

Han Jingting was furious. "Mom, how could you just take such a large sum of money without asking!"

Ding Lijuan knew she couldn’t hide it any longer, so she didn’t plan to keep up the act.

"You are my daughter. I’ve worked hard to raise you. What’s wrong with spending a bit of your money?"

"Besides, I see that money as the betrothal gift Jun Chen gave to marry you. According to reason, that money should rightfully belong to us."

"Look at it this way, I’m just spending my own money. What’s the problem with that?"

Ding Lijuan was righteous and unapologetic, not taking these concerns seriously at all.

"What marriage, what betrothal gift! Mom, do you realize Meng Junchen is in prison now?"

"What? In prison? How... how is that possible?" Ding Lijuan was incredulous.

Han Jingting’s expression turned gloomy. "I’ll tell you the truth. The twenty-million check you lost was stolen by Meng Junchen!"

Ding Lijuan was stunned. "How is that possible, Jun Chen is such a good kid, he couldn’t possibly do such a thing! I don’t believe it, you must be lying to me, right?"

"What sense does it make for me to lie to you? Where do you think that twenty million came from? That was the money Meng Jinzhou repaid for his son!"

After considering for a moment, Ding Lijuan’s face lit up with joy. "Isn’t that perfect? Since he’s repaid the money, doesn’t it belong to our family now? Can’t I spend it however I want?"

Han Jingting was speechless. "How is that possible! Don’t forget, this money was fronted by Yaowang Corporation, and I have to repay Yaowang Corporation!"

Ding Lijuan was taken aback. "Why do you have to repay it..."

Han Jingting couldn’t be bothered to explain further. "Forget it, let’s not talk about the money you’ve already spent. Tell me how much is left of that money, give me the card, and I will repay as much as I can."

Han Jingting was making a reluctant choice, after all, she couldn’t possibly force her own mother to cough up the money she had spent.

However, Ding Lijuan was unwilling to accept this outcome.

In the last two days, she had finally gotten a taste of the rich life, and she was in the midst of excitement.

Now, Han Jingting actually wanted to take all the money back. Wasn’t this forcing her to become poor again?

Ding Lijuan flat out said, "You might already be too late, I’ve already spent all the money on the card!"

Han Jingting laughed out of exasperation. "Mom, are you kidding? That’s twenty million, how could you have spent it all in just two days, that’s impossible!"

"What’s so impossible about that, I’ve spent every penny of it, believe it or not!" Ding Lijuan put up a defiant front.

Han Jingting was so angry she didn’t know what to say.

"Mom, I really need to repay Yaowang Corporation for this money. I’m begging you, please give the money back to me!" Han Jingting was so anxious she was on the brink of tears.

But Ding Lijuan was unmoved. "Don’t think I don’t know that Yaowang Corporation gave you that money for nothing, they never said you had to repay it. You want to take the money back just to spend it yourself, right?"

"Indeed, there’s some money left, but I’m not giving it to you now."

"How about this? Let’s keep the money with me, and when you remarry, it can be your dowry!"

Han Jingting trembled with anger. "Mom, how can you do this!"

Although her mother could be unreasonable at times, she had never been so outrageous as to covet her own daughter’s money.

But for some reason, ever since Ding Liang came, it was like she had become a different person, completely irrational!

Was this all Ding Liang’s influence?

"Alright, since you don’t want to come home, then I won’t keep you here any longer. Whenever you figure things out, you can come back."

"Xiao Liang, let’s go home!"

"Okay, Auntie!"

With that said, Ding Lijuan, along with Ding Liang, went upstairs directly, not even giving Han Jingting a second glance.

Han Jingting was so angry she was nearly on the verge of collapse.

Hadn’t her own mother ever considered how she was going to repay the 20 million she owed to Yaowang Corporation?

For the first time in her life, Han Jingting felt that the bond with her mother was so incredibly weak.

At this time, Ding Lijuan and Ding Liang had already made their way upstairs.

"Auntie, are we really going to be okay not repaying this money to sister?" Ding Liang asked with some worry.

Ding Lijuan waved her hand dismissively, "What could possibly be wrong? Didn’t you say you wanted to start a company? If I really paid this money back, what would you use to start your company?"

Ding Liang’s face showed a touch of emotion, "Auntie, you’re really too good to me! You’re like my real mom!"

Ding Lijuan smiled so wide her mouth couldn’t close, "Of course! I can put up with anyone else’s grievances, but I can’t let our Xiao Liang suffer!"

That night, Han Jingting returned to Jiayuan Apartments with a heavy heart.

But just as she got into her room, there was a knock at the door.

Upon opening the door, she saw Gao Bo standing outside.

"What do you want?" Han Jingting said irritably.

Gao Bo’s face was ingratiating, "Nothing, I just saw Miss Han and you seemed pretty tired. Do you need a massage? I can help you with that?"

Han Jingting’s expression turned icy in an instant.

She hadn’t expected Gao Bo to be so audacious as to openly harass her!

"I don’t need your help, you can leave now!"

As Han Jingting was about to close the door, Gao Bo blocked it with his foot.

Han Jingting frowned, "What are you doing? If you keep this up, I’m calling the police!"

Gao Bo snorted dismissively, "Fuck, who are you trying to fool? I’ve been running apartments for years; I’ve seen all sorts of people!"

"Don’t think I don’t know what you do. Aren’t you just a canary kept by a rich man?"

"Let me tell you straight, you might think I’m just a landlord, but I’m not short of cash! Name your price, how much to keep you for a month? I’ll pay without bargaining!"

Han Jingting was so enraged her face flushed crimson with shame.

She had never thought that she would be thought of as a woman of ill repute!

"Get out! If you dare to come back, I’ll really call the cops!"

Han Jingting pushed Gao Bo away with one shove and slammed the door shut.

"Don’t be in a hurry, we can negotiate the price," Gao Bo still persisted from outside.

"Get out!!" Han Jingting roared in fury.

"Shit, a rich man’s worn-out plaything, why the act! I’ll see just how long you can keep it up!"

Gao Bo left, cursing as he went.

Only when she was certain Gao Bo had left, did Han Jingting finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Then came the surge of tears!

Not to mention being exhausted from a day at the job market, first her own mother took away her 20 million, plunging her into the awkward situation of being unable to repay her debts, and upon returning, she also had to face harassment and verbal abuse from scum like Gao Bo.

Han Jingting felt like the whole world was against her!

What had she done wrong for the world to treat her this way!
