Chapter 102 Not a cent

Chen Suyun was not stupid either. When housekeeper Zhao entrusted the child to her, he specifically told her.

"Mrs. Wei didn't want to give the child a chance to live and asked me to find a place to bury him, but I couldn't bear it. Hualan and I are from the same hometown. She had a hard life, but the child is innocent. You will raise this child for me. I will pay for your father's treatment, and I will leave this child with you."

"This child has a miserable life, with no one to rely on. Since you're not married yet, let her take her biological mother's surname. It will mean her mother didn't give birth to her in vain. If anyone comes looking for this child in the future, you must not let anyone know, otherwise it might bring her death."

Chen Suyun was a distant relative of housekeeper Zhao. At that time, Chen Suyun's father was seriously ill and the family had no money for treatment. He was on the verge of death.

Housekeeper Zhao found Chen Suyun and offered to help her pay for her father's medical treatment, on the condition that Li Qingqing be raised by Chen Suyun.

Chen Suyun lost her mother early and didn't want her father to leave her early, so she agreed to the condition of Butler Zhao.

From then on, the unmarried Chen Suyun had a daughter. At first, she liked this little life that came suddenly very much, but because of her, Chen Suyun, a grown girl, could not find a good marriage.

Later, she took the young Li Qingqing to Shanghai to work, where she met Xie Hongde. Xie Hongde did not mind that she had a burden, because he himself was not much better.

The two got married soon and later had Xie Ze. Chen Suyun, who already had many complaints about Li Qingqing, became even more hostile to her. Poor little Qingqing was raised in a free-range family where her father did not love her and her mother did not care for her.

When Chen Suyun saw Wei Qingming today, she felt that he didn't seem like a bad person. Maybe her family suddenly remembered that there was such a child outside?

So Chen Suyun wanted to take the opportunity to make another fortune. After all, she had supported Li Qingqing for so many years, and it was time to get some rewards.

Not to mention that Li Qingqing is now completely out of her control. If she doesn't ask her family for money now, she will have no chance in the future.

Wei Qingming looked at her suddenly flattering expression, frowned slightly and replied:

"I guess so. Do you want to talk again?"

Chen Suyun immediately pulled him to sit down again, then turned around and started rummaging through an old cabinet.

After a while, she took out a rusty iron box and took out a jade lock from it.

"This was sent here with that child. Do you recognize it?"

Wei Qingming took the jade lock and looked at it, and found that it was a mutton-fat white Hetian jade. The front of the jade lock was a lotus pattern, and the back was a word "An". It looked like a family heirloom.

It was his first time seeing it too.

"Is there anything else?" Wei Qingming asked after accepting the jade lock.

“No more.”

Wei Qingming looked at Chen Suyun, who was trying to get credit, and said slowly, "How much do you want?"

Chen Suyun was overjoyed, her judgment was indeed correct.

"Give it to me, sir."

Last time, Lu Yan waved his hand and gave 500,000. This time it can only be more than 500,000, not less.

But she couldn't judge the strength of the man in front of her, and was afraid that if she asked for too much at once, he would not give her anything, so she could only let him make an offer first, and then she would ask for as much as she could depending on the situation.

Wei Qingming looked at her coldly, and said in a strong voice, "I won't give you a cent."

Chen Suyun was so shocked that she jumped up on the spot.

"What did you say? How...how can you not give me a single cent?!" Chen Suyun felt that the big fish was about to escape and couldn't help stuttering.

Wei Qingming slowly put the jade lock into his pocket and said to her calmly:

"First of all, Butler Zhao had already negotiated a deal with you. He would pay to save your father's life, and you would be responsible for adopting Li Qingqing. One life for another, no one owes anyone anything."

"Secondly, Li Qingqing has been working part-time to pay for her tuition and living expenses since she started high school. You haven't contributed a cent. She's still burdened with the debt from Xie Ze's surgery. Did you know that?"

"at last!"

Wei Qingming recalled what happened when Li Qingqing came back last time.

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason why Li Qingqing was able to leave your Xie family safely last time was that Lu Yan must have already negotiated terms with you, right?"

He looked up at the new house Chen Suyun was building, and his tone became even colder.

"Since he has already negotiated, and Li Qingqing is now free, do you have any other bargaining chips to negotiate with me?"

Wei Qingming tilted his head and looked at her provocatively. Seeing that she was hesitant and unable to speak, he walked out of the courtyard gate.

Seeing that all her cards had been exposed, Chen Suyun simply started to throw a tantrum.

"Stop! Don't even think about leaving this room if you don't come up with 500,000 yuan today."

She didn't know where she got the confidence from, but she reached out to grab Wei Qingming, but Wei Qingming dodged by raising his hand.

"What? You want to rob me?"

Seeing that she was no match for Wei Qingming, Chen Suyun opened her mouth and started to cry: "Oh! I raised Qingqing for so many years. Even if I haven't made any contributions, I have worked hard... You can't treat me like this..."

Chen Suyun cried and screamed, and her goose-like crying attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors.

Wei Qingming was troubled by her rogue appearance. He looked up and happened to catch a glimpse of Mrs. Li among the crowd of onlookers. He immediately came up with an idea.

Wei Qingming pointed at Mrs. Li, who also had stitches on her forehead, and shouted, "Hey, you."

Mrs. Li was watching Chen Suyun's fun with a gloating look on her face. When Wei Qingming pointed at her, she was stunned for a moment. She looked around and pointed at herself with her backhand.

"I?"

"Yes, it's you. You are Li Ziwei, right?"

Mrs. Li nodded blankly, wondering if she had anything to do with this.

Wei Qingming pointed to the new wall that the bricklayer was building at the corner on the west side near Mrs. Li's house.

"Chen Suyun's house is built on your foundation."

When Mrs. Li heard this, the resentment she felt for being beaten the day before suddenly surged up again. She took a step forward and grabbed Chen Suyun's hair.

He yelled, "Chen Suyun! Don't go too far!"

The two men immediately wrestled with each other, with wailing sounds coming one after another.

Wei Qingming glanced coldly at the two people lying on the ground, patted his butt, stepped forward with his long legs, got into the car and drove away.

After returning to Qingjian Pavilion, Wei Qingming was not in a hurry to tell Li Qingqing about this matter.

Instead, he took the opportunity to take a strand of her hair and bought a flight back to Xicheng that afternoon.

Li Qingqing watched him coming and going in a hurry and had no idea what he was busy with.

But she was in no mood to care about him now.

Li Qingqing hasn't seen Lu Yan for a long time since she said goodbye to him in his car last time.

It seems that my plan is effective.

Li Qingqing has always hoped that she would be innocent in a relationship, and she hopes that Lu Yan is the same.

Lu family villa, Lu Mingqi's study.

"I heard that you have invested in a lot of new industries recently?"

Lu Mingqi asked Lu Yan while writing calligraphy.

Lu Yan did not deny it: "In the past ten years, the Jiang family has infiltrated too much into the Lu family's business. If something happens to the Jiang family, the Lu family will be the first to fall."

"What do you mean by that?"
