Chapter 281: I want five million
Chapter 281: I want five million
"Want to know? My dear niece, your uncle's answer is very valuable."
Wen Jin stared sharply at Tan Guohao, but the glint of tears in her eyes betrayed her deep concern.
Tan Guohao was determined to win and made an outrageous demand, raising five fingers directly in front of Wen Jinye.
Wen Jin also asked in a cold tone, "Five hundred thousand?"
"No."
Tan Guohao smiled leisurely, "Good niece, your uncle wants five million. Your mother's background isn't worthless, do you agree?"
Wen Jin also felt like she had heard a joke.
Tan Guohao is treating her like a sucker.
Whether he was lying or not, and whether his mother was actually the biological daughter of that biology grandmother, Wen Jin would investigate and find out.
"Want five million?" She smiled dismissively. "I'll burn it for you when you die."
Having said that, she stood up decisively.
Tan Guohao's expression clearly panicked. "Stop! Your mother is dead. Even if you investigate and find out that everything I said is true, how can you find out her true background?"
Tan Guohao revealed his trump card: "The relics I'm talking about are related to your mother's background. They're the things your grandmother was carrying when she found her."
Tan Guohao still remembers that day.
She was only three or four years old when she tumbled down the cliff and fell into a coma.
Tan Guohao's mother was driving the cattle by.
In fact, some villagers had already gathered around the girl and were discussing it.
Tan Guohao originally wanted to join in the fun, but his mother was dazzled by the necklace the girl was wearing.
I thought it was gold.
It wouldn't be appropriate to take off the necklace and leave in front of everyone.
We had no choice but to bite the bullet and take over the position.
She said she felt sorry for the girl and wanted to keep her to raise.
It turned out the necklace was worthless!
Later, she thought that once the girl was better, her family would find this place and she would extort a large sum of money from them.
However, the girl suffered from amnesia.
She even considered strangling the girl back then.
But I figured it out later.
Even if I can't find my family, I'll just treat it like raising livestock.
Back then, feeding livestock didn't cost much.
If we become really poor in the future and our son can't find a wife, he can still be raised as a child bride.
Later, the villagers fled the famine.
They moved away from that small place and came to Jiangbei.
The girl's family could not be found anywhere.
Over the years, they've all gotten used to having someone take care of them without complaint.
Although that necklace wasn't worth much.
But before Tan Guohao's mother passed away, she always thought that if her family came to her door one day, she could use this as a token and evidence to extort a large sum of money.
Therefore, the necklace has been preserved to this day.
But no one expected that no family members would come looking for her until her death.
presumably--
She's a jinx who was thrown away by her family!
...
My thoughts came to a close.
Tan Guohao looked with satisfaction at the slight wavering expression on Wen Jinye's face.
He deliberately waved his hand at Wen Jinye, feigning mystery, "The necklace your mother wore around her neck should have been left by her biological parents, right? She's already passed away, and perhaps this necklace is the only clue you have to find her biological parents. Are you going to give up?"
He earnestly advised, "Your uncle knows that you've been living a very glamorous life lately, having hooked up with a Hong Kong entertainment circle prince, right? Since he can speak so publicly for you in front of the media and on stage, you must be enjoying great popularity with him!"
Tan Guohao always felt that Wen Jinye's face was extraordinary, possessing the ability to make men fall for her.
But I never expected her to be so resourceful.
"I don't expect you to make our family rich and famous, but if you just whisper in Fu Yanjing's ear, five million should be easy to come by, right?"
Wen Jin had also adjusted her emotions, and her expression no longer betrayed her feelings.
How do I know if what you're holding in your hand is actually my mother's necklace?
Tan Guohao chuckled and completely exposed the necklace to Wen Jinye.
The pendant, shaped like a coin, gleamed with gold.
But he quickly put it away.
"I'm not lying to you, you should think it through yourself."
But that one moment was enough.
The familiar necklace made Wen Jin's pupils shrink suddenly.
Shen Jinzhao's words seemed to echo in my ears.
It's about her maternal grandmother, her missing aunt...
Some truths seem to be just one layer away from breaking through the fog and being revealed.
Wen Jin also felt as if all the blood in her body was flowing backward.
If Tan Guohao were to produce any of the necklaces, it wouldn't be convincing enough for Wen Jinye.
But ironically, this was the one he presented—
It was almost identical; she had just found it a while ago and returned it to another girl.
Was it fate, or coincidence?
Tan Guohao was certainly able to notice the subtle change in Wen Jinye's expression.
Tan Donglin's fate is now unknown, as he is currently in the hands of that gang.
No matter how disappointed he was in his son's life, he still loved him.
So Tan Guohao struck while the iron was hot:
“I want money, you want things! It’s a fair trade. Wen Jinye, I don’t have much patience to waste with you. This might be your only clue to finding out about your mother’s background. You decide what’s more important!”
Wen Jin also held onto the corner of the table.
“I don’t need to find the truth in your mouth.”
perhaps……
The truth is already before our eyes.
Mom, are you worried even in heaven?
First, Wen Jin also needs to verify his most intense inner speculation.
Although it sounds like a fantasy.
She never imagined that her brief encounters with Shen Jinzhao would lead to a relationship on other levels.
Regardless, she needs to have Shen Jinchao do a kinship test.
Wen Jin also pondered, his face remaining expressionless.
She didn't want to continue negotiating with Tan Guohao and simply walked past him.
Everything, however seemingly random, has a traceable pattern.
Why could my grandmother insult my mother like that?
Why can her uncle's family hurt her so easily?
Tan Guohao was furious.
"Wen Jinye! Do you really not care about your mother's background anymore?!"
"Yes, I care."
Wen Jin's expression was cold, and the oppressive feeling surging in his eyes made Tan Guohao feel a chill inexplicably.
Wen Jin also said, "But I'd rather you go down here soon and tell my mom yourself than you tell me yourself."
"You..." Tan Guohao's eyes were bloodshot. "If you don't give me the money, I'll destroy it!"
"etc--"
After all, if Wen Jin's guess is wrong, then this necklace may be the only way to find out her mother's background.
Wen Jinye appeared calm at the moment, but her thoughts were actually in turmoil.
Give me three days to think about it.
Tan Guohao sneered, "I'll only give you two days."
Wen Jin also clenched her fingertips, ultimately deciding to appease Tan Guohao for the time being.
"good."
"Five million, not a penny less."
She ignored it and pushed open the door to the coffee shop.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and a gentle breeze was blowing on her face, which helped Wen Jin calm her mind a little.
She knew that Tan Guohao's side was a bottomless pit.
The more she cared, the more Tan Guohao would take advantage of her.
However, it is not entirely impossible to completely ignore all of Tan Guohao's voices.
On the street diagonally opposite the coffee shop, the leaves on both sides of the tree have almost all fallen off.
Bare branches, scattered maple leaves, and a black car parked quietly by the roadside.
Before Wen Jin could even walk over, the driver's side door opened, and to her surprise, it was Dong Qi who had come in person.
He nodded respectfully to Wen Jinye, "Miss Wen."
Before Wen Jin could reply, Tan Guohao chased after her.
Fearing the duck that was about to be eaten would fly away, he shouted a threat:
"Wen Jinye, don't forget, I'm only giving you two days! Not a penny less!"
He spat and said, "Damn it, you have money to ride in luxury cars, but no money to give me!"
It was spotted by a college student who was working part-time cleaning the store.
Unable to bear it any longer, she coldly reminded him in her sweetest voice:
"Sir, urinating or defecating in public is not allowed here."
