Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Getting Rid of the Beggar

"What?!"

Ding Lijuan, Han Bowwen, including Guo Yueling and everyone else, all gasped in shock upon hearing the news.

They could never have dreamed that in just a short half a month, Han Jingting had transformed into someone with a net worth of two billion!

Keep in mind, Han Corporation’s assets were only worth a dozen billion or so.

That meant, was Han Jingting’s personal wealth now actually surpassing the entire Han Corporation?!

"This... how is this possible? Xiao Liang, could you have made a mistake?" Han Bowwen could hardly believe it.

But Ding Liang was very certain, "There’s no way I’m mistaken. My friend has investigated thoroughly, my sister is now the chairwoman and president of Jiaren Corporation!"

"Chairwoman?" Han Bowwen was stunned.

He knew very well what the title of chairwoman signified, what it meant for Han Jingting’s shareholding in the entire Jiaren Corporation, and it also represented her personal financial strength.

One would need to own a significant portion of the stock to qualify as the chairwoman!

In other words, Han Jingting’s wealth was now starting at least in the hundreds of millions!

"I knew it! I just knew that girl was deliberately making fools out of us!"

"You must believe it now, right? If she didn’t have money, could she have acquired such a big company?!"

"If she didn’t have money, could she have become the chairwoman?!"

Ding Lijuan, overcome with emotion, began questioning Han Bowwen as she pounded on him.

At this moment, Han Bowwen was at a loss for words.

He had finally decided that his own daughter, by keeping such a big secret from him, might indeed have some considerable ulterior motives.

At that moment, Guo Yueling was so shocked she couldn’t close her mouth, "Two billion, my goodness, that’s how much money? Probably enough to last several lifetimes!"

For a rural woman like Guo Yueling, two billion was probably enough to buy a whole country – it was an astronomical figure!

"No wonder Jingting was willing to give you the house back and casually gave you twenty thousand yuan in pocket money. For her, that amount of money is just a drop in the ocean!"

"But still, think about it, she’s so rich, yet she only gave you twenty thousand yuan, that seems a little too little..."

"Too little! Of course, it’s too little!" Ding Lijuan yelled angrily, "She has twenty billion in her hands, and she only gives us twenty thousand yuan, that’s no different from giving alms to a beggar!"

Han Bowwen said, "Twenty thousand yuan is already not a small amount. Don’t forget, if it weren’t for Jingting, we would still be begging on the streets."

Ding Lijuan reacted as if someone had stepped on her tail and virtually jumped up, "Don’t talk to me about that, the more you talk, the angrier I get!"

"Even though that girl is so rich, she just watched us go begging on the streets and kowtow for handouts!"

"How ruthless must her heart be to do something as unfilial as that! Is that something a child should be doing?!"

Han Bowwen fell silent, as a parent, he indeed felt that Han Jingting’s actions were somewhat too harsh.

"Perhaps she has her own difficulties..."

"Difficulties? She has twenty billion, what difficulties could she possibly have! If you had twenty billion, would you have any difficulties?!" Ding Lijuan asked loudly.

"Well... of course not..."

Han Bowwen’s greatest wish was to become incredibly rich.

He would go out gambling and buying lottery tickets, all in the hopes of striking it rich.

If one day he had twenty billion, he’d probably wake up laughing from his dreams, let alone face any difficulties.

"See! That settles it!"

Ding Lijuan was feeling a profound sense of injustice. The thought that while she had been starving and kneeling to beg others, her daughter was sitting on a fortune of two billion yuan and living a life of luxury made Ding Lijuan’s teeth itch with hatred.

"No! We absolutely cannot let this go!" Ding Lijuan roared.

Ding Liang’s eyes lit up, "Aunt, what do you plan to do?"

As if it was the most natural thing in the world, Ding Lijuan said, "What else? Of course, we’re going to ask her for the money! Let’s not even talk about more, we must at least get those twenty million back!"

Guo Yueling chimed in, "That’s right, Jingting has two billion now, and yet she forced us to pay back those twenty million back then, which really is too heartless!"

"I think we indeed should get that money back!"

Guo Yueling was plotting to get money, clearly harboring her own ulterior motives.

The last time Ding Lijuan had twenty million, she and Ding Liang definitely took their share of benefits.

If they could get another twenty million back this time, they were sure to benefit again.

However, Han Bowwen immediately countered, "I disagree!"

"Even if Jingting has all that money, it’s what she rightfully deserves. Since when do parents demand money from their daughter?!"

Ding Lijuan spits in Han Bowwen’s face, "Pah, what are you putting on airs for! As if you didn’t spend a dime of that twenty million last time!"

"Let me tell you, I’m set on getting this money! You can disagree if you want, but when I get the money back, don’t you dare think about spending a single cent!"

"I was even thinking of giving you a bit to gamble with after getting the money back."

"What? Gamble?"

Han Bowwen, who had been quite self-righteous, suddenly perked up at this.

Nothing in the world was more attractive to him than the prospect of a gambling table.

Ding Lijuan knew this all too well, which is why she deliberately used it as bait.

"Yes, that was the initial plan, but since you’re being so noble, I guess we should forget about it!"

Han Bowwen immediately panicked, "No, don’t! What I meant was that as parents, we shouldn’t actively ask for money from our children."

"However, that twenty million was ours to begin with. Technically, it’s our own money."

"There seems to be nothing wrong with asking for our own money."

Han Bowwen was justifying his greed, finding an excuse for his avarice.

Ding Lijuan scoffed, "Since that’s the case, it’s settled then! First thing tomorrow morning, we’ll go find Jingting and get back those twenty million!"

"Once we get the money, we’ll live the good life together!"

Imagining herself back in control of the finances, Ding Lijuan was filled with an excitement like she had been injected with adrenaline.

Early the next morning, Ding Lijuan and the others took a taxi straight to the Jiaren Corporation building.

"Lijuan, I still feel that what we’re doing is not quite right," Han Bowwen, who had thought it over all night, was now having second thoughts.

Ding Lijuan gave him a disdainful look and said irritably, "If you want to go back, then leave now, but don’t you expect a share of the money if we get it back!"

"No, I’m not saying I want to go back..." Han Bowwen quickly backpedaled.

"But, what exactly should we do once we’re there?"

Ding Lijuan snorted, "That’s not for you to worry about. Just follow my lead when we get there."

"Aunt, look, my sister’s coming!" Ding Liang shouted, pointing to someone in the distance.
