Chapter 482: Chapter 464: Do You Have a Million?

"Zhao Xuan, how could you be so malicious? I have seen through your true face now; hitting me is one thing, but do you even have the heart to harm Chengye? After all, Chengye was originally your boyfriend--"

Qi Xinrou hugged Baili Chengye, crying as if her heart were breaking.

"Rourou, don’t be sad, I’m fine. Haven’t we known all along that she’s always been this cruel and ruthless? There’s no point in talking to her anymore."

Baili Chengye wiped his face, saw his hand covered in sticky fresh blood, couldn’t help but sway his body, and, without forgetting to gently comfort Qi Xinrou, then turned his head with a sinister look at Zhao Xuan: "Zhao Xuan, if you come here now, kneel down, and admit your mistakes to Rourou and me, I might consider letting you go. If you continue to be delusional, I’ll make sure you regret it."

"Kneel down and admit my mistakes? Ha, Baili Chengye, you sure have a lot of nerve. Who do you think you are?"

Zhao Xuan mocked the two with a smile, "Do you really think that just because you want to beat me, I must obediently stand there and let you do it? Just because I refused to stand there and let you hit me, and as a result, you accidentally hurt yourself, I’m the malicious one and should apologize? What kind of bandit logic is that?"

"You can be stubborn all you want, but before that, you’d better think about your grandfather." Baili Chengye glared at Zhao Xuan menacingly.

"Ha-ha, how funny, Baili Chengye, you have the audacity to bring up my grandfather?" Zhao Xuan felt a moment of hesitation in her heart, then immediately shook her head in self-mockery. How could she still pin her hopes on Baili Chengye?

Did she really, naively believe that if she now humbled herself and kneeled before these two scumbags, allowing them to degrade her into the dirt, Baili Chengye would then pay for her grandfather’s medical expenses?

He wouldn’t.

Every time Zhao Xuan recalled the day she went to the Bai Family for help, Baili Chengye’s face was cold and indifferent, as if it was none of his concern. His parents, on the other hand, threw a check of fifty thousand yuan at her feet like giving alms and told her that the money should be considered as the Bai Family paying back the favor they owed the Zhao Family, and they coldly told her not to pester their son anymore, she felt extreme hatred.

But no matter how much hatred and humiliation she felt, for her grandfather’s sake, at the time, she had to pick up that check.

Thinking back to when the Bai Family’s financial crisis was safely resolved, her grandfather had poured in several million yuan of his own, not to mention the face and connections he used to secure that amount which was beyond monetary value. Now that all she was asking for was a few hundred thousand yuan to save her grandfather’s life, they were unwilling to give it.

If it wasn’t for her grandfather reallocating the liquid assets from his company to help the Bai Family, how could his stable company face a sudden financial crisis and fall into the situation it was in today after his accident?

It was all her fault for being so foolishly blind. Just for these people, she begged and threatened her grandfather to help them, and her grandfather, who had always been so indulgent with her, never wanting to see her unhappy...

Zhao Xuan scoffed bitterly, "You want me to kneel? Fine, if you have the guts, throw a million yuan at me, and I’ll kneel."

A million yuan wasn’t hard for the old her to gather; her jewelry, her pocket money, her properties—selling all of that at a discount would have been worth far more than a million yuan. But all of it was coaxed away by this despicable man bit by bit, and now when she asked for it back, he refused to acknowledge it, and she was completely powerless.

Who else could she blame for her foolishness and inability to judge people but herself?

Thinking about how quickly the family business was failing, to the point where they couldn’t even afford grandpa’s medical bills, she refused to believe there was no foul play involved. Unfortunately, due to the overprotection she received from her grandfather, she knew nothing about the business and, even though she was aware there were issues, she had no idea how to even begin investigating.

"One million? You don’t deserve..." Your grandfather should’ve died long ago, just wait until your Zhao Family’s enterprise is completely devoured by our Bai Family. Chengye’s face twisted in rage but he stopped short, mindful of Qi Xinrou standing beside him, and left the latter half of his sentence unsaid.

Zhao Xuan turned to leave, dropping a statement before she did: "What are you acting like a big shot for? You begged well over a million from me back then, consider that money an advance payment for a cursed grave for your whole family, there’s really no need to thank me so much."

"You vicious bitch, don’t you dare walk away, if you have the guts, don’t leave--" Chengye exploded. Shrugging off Qi Xinrou’s supporting hand, he lunged forward to chase after Zhao Xuan but suddenly he yelped and, for some unknown reason, "plop" he fell hard to the ground in a face-to-the-floor tumble.

"Spit, spit, spit, you wretch, I won’t let you off, I definitely won’t."

Barely propped up by Qi Xinrou, Chengye yelled towards Zhao Xuan’s retreating figure. He looked like a demon, nothing like his usual dignified self, the sight made Qi Xinrou involuntarily shrink back, fear showing in her eyes.

"What goes around comes around, rest assured, you’ll get your retribution." Zhao Xuan abruptly stopped, turned back to throw a cold smile at the two, then quickened her steps and left, leaving the person cursing behind her far, far away.

But what Zhao Xuan didn’t notice was that as she shook off Chengye and Qi Xinrou, she had somehow picked up a sticky piece of gum following her from behind.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, look here, beautiful, do you wanna get to know the most invincible, super handsome guy in the entire universe?"

Following Zhao Xuan all the way, Lu Jinsheng tried everything to strike up a conversation with her "discreetly" but she ignored all his attempts. Out of options, he could only bluntly and nakedly reveal his "intentions" by speaking them out loud, only to be completely disregarded by Zhao Xuan in front who kept walking faster and faster without giving him a look.

"Don’t go, didn’t you hear this handsome guy wants to get to know you?" Lu Jinsheng finally couldn’t restrain himself and reached out to grab Zhao Xuan.

"Scram."

Zhao Xuan turned back and harshly snapped at him.

If one were to ignore the tear streaks on her face and the thick cry in her voice, perhaps that "scram" might have carried some deterrence.

"I can help pay for your grandpa’s medical bills, get him good doctors and medicine for treatment, I can even help solve the crisis your family’s business is facing," Lu Jinsheng sighed, suddenly dropping the joking demeanor and saying earnestly to Zhao Xuan.

"Who are you? How do you know so much about my family’s business? What’s your agenda?" Zhao Xuan’s eyes widened as she stared at Lu Jinsheng, forgetting to continue crying.

She messily wiped her nose and tears, then looked at him full of hope without any hesitation and asked, "Do you have a million? If you have it right now, I don’t care who you are, I’ll agree to any condition you have."
