Chapter 169 This is the so-called mother's family
Ding Xuezhen's face turned a little ugly when she was asked such a blunt question.
Lin Yuxi interrupted and said something at this time.
"Aunt, we all know who my brother-in-law is with outside. Now that my sister is gone, it's natural that this matter should be brought to an end."
"Otherwise, if someone accidentally spreads the story between Miss Jiang and my brother-in-law one day, the public opinion that my brother-in-law has finally calmed down will probably cause another uproar."
Li Yaqin suddenly slammed the table with a heavy bang, her expression solemn and slightly angry.
"You are threatening me now!"
Ding Xuezhen suddenly said with a smile: "How can it be a threat? It's just a compensation. Even if Rushuang didn't give birth to a son or daughter for your family in these years, at least she spent seven years with Wenyuan. Now it ends in such a mess..."
"If something unexpected happens, the media will see this money and think that your family has done their best for Rushuang, so as to avoid being criticized."
The skin on Li Yaqin's face was twitching. This was clearly blackmail, but given their current passive situation, if they confronted Ding Xuezhen head-on.
If they accidentally let the matter out, the Li family will be in crisis again.
But these five million... are not five hundred thousand.
Li Yaqin wanted to fight for it again. She fiddled with the tea lid with her fingers and said something neither lightly nor heavily.
"Since everyone wants to resolve the issue, five million is indeed too much. Let's say one million."
Ding Xuezhen sneered, "This incident has become so serious, your Li family's losses must be more than five million."
"You... you Lin family members are simply kicking someone when they're down! I've said it before, your daughter is a jinx. Whoever marries her will suffer misfortune..."
Li Yaqin was so angry at Ding Xuezhen that she was shaking all over and wanted to ask the servants to kick the two people out immediately.
Jiang Yuyan also spoke at this time: "If you want money, just say it directly. Why use Sister Rushuang as an excuse? I didn't expect the Lin family to do such a dirty thing!"
Although Lin Yuxi doesn't like Lin Rushuang, he hates Jiang Yuyan even more. If Jiang Yuyan hadn't interfered with the relationship between Li Wenyuan and Lin Rushuang.
Lin Rushuang would not find an opportunity to get involved with He Tingchen.
Maybe she and He Tingchen have already become a couple by now.
Lin Yuxi immediately confronted Jiang Yuyan: "Miss Jiang, you are not the daughter-in-law of the Li family now, and you don't even have a formal status. What qualifications do you have to speak here?"
Jiang Yuyan immediately froze in place, a momentary embarrassment flashed across her face, and she nodded in a low voice.
"sorry."
Li Wenyuan protected Jiang Yuyan behind him. His facial features were three-dimensional, but his expression was solemn, with the corners of his eyes slightly raised.
"I'd also like to ask, when will it be the turn of the younger generation in your Lin family to speak?"
Jiang Yuyan went up and carefully grabbed the hem of Li Wenyuan's clothes. Her eyes were red like a rabbit's, and she had a strong sense of brokenness. Just seeing and hearing her voice made people feel distressed.
"A Yuan, don't blame Miss Lin Er. They are also worried about Sister Rushuang. They probably think that Sister Rushuang has been living too well after marrying you, so they want to get some compensation for her."
Lin Yuxi had never seen such a scene before, and her pupils constricted. She had seen those shrews and tough ones, but she had never seen one this weak.
Obviously nothing had happened to her, and she hadn't even said a harsh word, but why was this woman acting like she had suffered a great injustice and was pretending to be so hypocritical?
Before, she blamed Lin Rushang for not being able to handle such a woman, and even had her man taken away from her.
Now it seems that this seemingly harmless woman in front of him is actually quite capable and not as simple as she seems.
Li Wenyuan glanced at Lin Yuxi and Ding Xuezhen with his narrow eyes.
"Three million. If that doesn't work, please do as you please. Besides, the things that have been exposed online about Rushuang, He Tingchen, and Xie Hongzu must be making things difficult for your Lin family."
Li Yaqin: "Exactly, don't you guys even read the comments yourself?"
Ding Xuezhen and Lin Yuxi looked at each other. Li Wenyuan was right. Due to Lin Rushang's current situation, the Lin family's stocks were also affected.
Lin Jianguo then asked them to come over and discuss with the Li family to see if they could come up with any solution.
But what happened to Lin Rushuang had nothing to do with them, so it would be better to take this opportunity to ask for more money.
Lin Yuxi whispered in Ding Xuezhen's ear, "Forget it, Mom. Five million is indeed too much. If we make my brother-in-law angry and she doesn't give us a penny, we won't be able to do anything to her."
Ding Xuezhen patted Lin Yuxi's arm to show that she knew what was going on.
After the two of them had discussed it, Ding Xuezhen coughed lightly and said, "Since we're all family, three million is three million."
Immediately she took out a bank card from her bag and put it on the table.
"Please just transfer the money directly to this card when you come."
After saying that, Ding Xuezhen and Lin Yuxi turned around and walked out of the Li family's gate.
Li Yaqin walked outside and looked at the two people's backs as they walked away. She couldn't help but spit on the ground.
"What the hell! These two people usually dislike Lin Rushuang the most, and now that she's gone, they come here to claim her as a relative and ask for money. How shameless!"
"I don't know what sins Lin Rushuang committed in her past life to have such a family. Even though their whereabouts are unknown, they still refuse to let them go."
When Li Wenyuan heard what Li Yaqin said and thought of what he had done, he felt as uncomfortable as if his heart was stuffed with a ball of cotton.
He looked at Li Yaqin's back with annoyance.
"Mom, don't say anything. We are not much better than them. This money is just compensation for Rushuang."
After Lin Yuxi and Ding Xuezhen got in the car, Ding Xuezhen's cell phone rang soon. She lowered her head to take a look at the balance on the card, a hint of surprise appeared on her face.
"I really can't believe that Li Wenyuan is so willing to pay!"
Lin Yuxi showed a worried look: "But Mom, we have the money, but how can we explain it to Dad?"
Ding Xuezhen also fell into deep thought.
"Yeah, what should we say to your dad? We clearly said we were here to seek justice for Lin Rushuang, but instead we took money. If your dad knew, he would definitely scold us to death!"
Lin Yuxi narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a sinister expression.
"Anyway, Lin Rushuang is gone now, and the Li family is going through the divorce process. I probably won't have any dealings with the Li family in the future. I can just say a few perfunctory words to Dad when I go back."
"Okay, leave these three million with me first. If you want to buy anything, just tell me and I'll give it to you."
Ding Xuezhen patted Lin Yuxi on the shoulder and spoke kindly.
Lin Yuxi couldn't help but frown: "But Mom, didn't we agree to split it equally? Why are you..."
"You're stupid! If I give you the money now and your dad gets suspicious and checks your account, won't we all be exposed?"
After Ding Xuezhen finished speaking, she saw that Lin Yuxi was still a little suspicious, so she patted her shoulder again.
"Okay, leave it with Mom. What are you worried about? Are you afraid that I won't give it to you? Well, if I really don't give it to you, can't you just tell your dad everything that happened today?"
