Lin Rujin sipped her tea slowly and deliberately, not in a hurry at all.
Lin Xuelan couldn't help but smile, and she followed Lin Rujin's example, slowly sipping her tea. The more she drank, the more fragrant the tea seemed.
Lin Rujin: "Sister, don't make a sound later. I'll make sure she treats you with utmost respect from now on."
Lin Xuelan nodded, got up and wandered around the living room, casually rummaging through the items, and said with a smile, "Qinghui Residence truly deserves to be called a masterpiece."
She was very satisfied with the villa and was overjoyed at the thought of being able to visit it from time to time.
She wandered to the sink on the first floor, saw something on it, her eyes flashed, and she quickly went over and grabbed it.
Then, without making a sound, he returned to Lin Rujin's side and sat down. He took a sip of tea, and his attention was drawn to the shelf next to him. He went over and started rummaging through it.
Ruan Mingying stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Lin Xuelan's actions. She calmly said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Okay, I understand."
"Sorry, she said she knows you and you're good friends, that's why I transferred the debt claim," the other end said apologetically.
Ruan Mingying hung up the phone. Now that the transfer of the creditor-debtor relationship had been confirmed, Lin Rujin would be her creditor from now on.
She took a deep breath, walked over, and took the mangled ornament from Lin Xuelan's hands.
"Everything here is handmade by the master, and each piece is unique. Please be careful."
Lin Xuelan didn't seem to care: "I like this. How much is it? Why not just use it to pay off my debt?"
Ruan Mingying ignored her and walked towards Lin Rujin.
"You came to my door with an IOU, what do you expect me to do?"
Lin Rujin: "I just wanted to let you know that the repayment method will remain the same as before, on a monthly basis. By the way, I've entrusted my sister to collect the payments. She will come to collect the payments every month from now on. I don't trust anyone else with this responsibility, so I hope you can understand."
She paused for a moment, then added, "Or you can pay it all back today, 49 million, not a penny less."
Lin Xuelan walked over and sat down: "You can go raise the money right away. We're available for the time being, so we can wait for you for three hours."
She was certain that Ruan Mingying couldn't possibly raise that much money.
Moreover, such a big matter was probably kept from Xu Shanglou; Ruan Mingying dared not let Xu Shanglou know at all.
She waited for Ruan Mingying to beg her in a humble voice not to make a scene.
Ruan Mingying hadn't considered asking Xu Shanglou for help, and frowned, saying, "Since that's the case, then..."
“Of course, it’s a one-time payment,” Mingzhuo said, walking in.
Lin Rujin's eyes lit up. My God, this is another stunning beauty!
And she looks so young, so fresh and pretty. If she went into the entertainment industry, she could become a sensation even as just a pretty face!
Lin Xuelan's eyes were blazing with anger. "It's you!"
She was deeply impressed by Mingzhuo, who was sharp-tongued at such a young age and mocked her for being old, which was very impolite.
"Pay it back in one lump sum? Are you kidding me? It's 49 million including principal and interest. You try paying me back right now."
Mingzhuo said "oh" and started making a phone call.
Lin Xuelan paused, then asked, "You're not thinking of asking the shopping mall for help, are you?"
She then thought that this was even better; it was practically throwing Ruan Mingying's dignity into the ground and rubbing it.
Mingzhuo: "What are you thinking? It's just 49 million, I have it. Give me your account number, I'll pay you back right away."
As she spoke, the call connected, and a customer service representative's warm voice rang out, "Dear Ms. Ruan, how can I help you?"
Mingzhuo: "I have a large remittance of 49 million yuan. How do I proceed?"
Lin Xuelan: "..."
Large transfers are indeed troublesome, but Mingzhuo took into account that her elder sister would need the money urgently, so she went to the bank to sign the agreement.
It only takes a little time to process now; once it's confirmed, the money will be transferred.
Lin Xuelan was completely stunned. The money had actually arrived in her account? She didn't have that much money!
Where did a high school girl get so much money?!
Lin Rujin fell silent for a moment. She hadn't expected that something so sure of success could end in such a setback, and her face flushed with anxiety.
"Is this really your own money?" Lin Xuelan questioned sharply, she didn't believe it!
Mingzhuo: "If it's not my money, is it yours? Do you want to see the signature on this black card?"
Lin Xuelan took two steps back. The name on the black card was indeed Ruan Mingzhuo. "Even so, this isn't something you earned!"
Mingzhuo: "Sorry, it really was me who made the profit. My name is Ruan Mingzhuo, understand?"
Lin Xuelan couldn't help but sneer, "So what if I know your name is Ruan Mingzhuo? That's not all that great!"
Lin Rujin pressed her temples. They had pressed for repayment today, and the other party had already retaliated by paying back the debt.
There's absolutely no point in arguing about the origin of the money here.
"Now that the debt has been paid off, I'm all set. Sister, let's go." She hurriedly got up to say goodbye.
Mingzhuo: "Wait a moment, you can leave, but please leave your belongings behind."
Lin Xuelan immediately jumped up and down, "What do you mean? Are you trying to accuse us of stealing?"
Lin Rujin was also a little angry; such behavior of throwing mud at people without thinking was too despicable.
She said coldly, "Our Lin family is also a wealthy family, and my sister and I will absolutely not accept such accusations! If you can't provide a compelling explanation and evidence, this matter is not over!"
Mingzhuo: "Okay, I can produce the evidence."
Lin Xuelan: "You're not going to search me, are you? You dare! You have no right to do that!"
Lin Rujin's face grew even colder. If she were to allow Lin Xuelan to be searched and humiliated today because of a mere maid's words, that would be a huge joke!
She patted Lin Xuelan reassuringly, "Sister, don't worry, I won't let them lay a finger on us."
Ruan Mingying was also somewhat surprised, and looked at Mingzhuo hesitantly, "Zhuozhuo..."
“Who said I was going to search her?” Mingzhuo stepped forward and patted Lin Xuelan on the shoulder.
"Tch, who would believe that? They're obviously just looking to bully me and want to take advantage of me," Lin Xuelan blurted out, then added, "So what if they searched me? I don't have any stolen goods on me."
Lin Rujin felt a pang of sympathy and was about to tell her cousin not to be afraid when Lin Xuelan continued speaking.
"Luckily, I was smart enough to put Dong XZ in Jinbao's bag. As long as I get searched, Jinbao will definitely stand up for me, and the Ruan Mingying sisters will be doomed."
Lin Rujin stared at her in shock. "Sister, what are you talking about?"
Lin Xuelan was about to deny it, but she couldn't help but say, "Jinbao is such a good shield. Ruan Mingying definitely won't dare to search Jinbao. Even if she did dare to search, Jinbao wouldn't admit it. She might even suspect that the Ruan family is crying wolf and framing her. In that case, the two sides would become mortal enemies."
Lin Rujin: "...Lin Xuelan, are you crazy?"
Lin Xuelan covered her mouth in horror; she hadn't meant to say those things!
What exactly happened? Why did she blurt out all her thoughts?
