Chapter 400: Five Hundred Thousand, Come with Me
In the afternoon, Tian Xin went alone to the teahouse where she had been with Lin Zhou before.
There are few people here and it is quiet.
She walked to the window seat and sat down, watching people coming in and out of the office building opposite.
About a cup of tea later, Li Qingning came in high heels.
She brought two "door gods" with her, just like last time.
Windbreaker and sunglasses are standard. The only difference is his attitude towards Tian Xin.
"Mom, here." Tian Xin waved at her enthusiastically.
After the two "door gods" opened the door for her, they turned around and went outside, truly acting as "door gods" on her left and right.
Li Qingning came over in her high heels, took off her sunglasses, and glanced at her from the side: "I hope you are well."
Tian Xin forced a fake smile and poured her tea. "Thanks to you, everything is fine. I've even gained two pounds in the past few days. Sit down."
"So, you've been having a good few days?"
Li Qingning sat down, took the tea she handed to him, took a look at it and put it down again.
He continued to provoke her with words: "But I heard that when you returned that day, you cried your heart out in the village, and half the villagers were restless. Could it be that you were lying to me?"
"How could that be? Little Mom, if I dared to hurt you, I wouldn't be here today."
She pointed at the two "door gods" at the door and said with a smile, "Look at your two bodyguards, their arms are thicker than my legs. If I dare to make fun of you, wouldn't that be courting death?"
Her words sounded like a joke, but her attitude was extremely serious. Li Qingning was very satisfied after hearing this: "That's good to know."
"Tell me, what do you want to see me about?"
Well, it’s time to get to the point!
Tian Xin breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, took out a document from her bag, and handed it to Li Qingning.
"What's this?"
Li Qingning didn't answer, but glanced at it first.
"Clarification on Lin Zhou's fiancée's online rumors about Liang."
"What do you mean?" Li Qingning stood up and pointed at her, her finger practically poking her in the eye. "Little girl, you've already driven me to bankruptcy, and you still want to play tricks?"
"Don't be so anxious! Let's talk about it after we finish reading it."
Tian Xin was neither anxious nor impatient. She dodged her poking fingers and spread the document out in front of her, motioning Li Qingning to take a look.
Li Qingning sat down again and read the instructions carefully.
This statement was given to her by Lin Zhenhua.
"You want money?"
Li Qingning sneered disdainfully and glanced at her sideways: "You're thinking of asking for money now? What were you doing before?"
"Isn't this just too bad? You know, I'm following Lin Zhou now, and I don't get any benefits. I still have to take care of him. I don't mind, but the family needs money, right?"
"If you need money, go ask Zhou Ruilian. Why are you asking me? How can I give you money? Besides, why should I give you money?"
"Just based on this statement." Tian Xin said.
"Tsk, you dare to ask for 500,000 for a piece of waste paper? You must be crazy about money! What do you have that is worth spending 500,000 on me? What does this mean?"
"I don't think it's worth it. But if I say I give up Lin Zhou and never have anything to do with him again, what do you think? Is it worth the five hundred thousand?"
Li Qingning raised her thin eyebrows, and a hint of imperceptible cunning flashed in her eyes.
But she still didn't agree, and threw the explanation back to Tian Xin: "What happens between you and Lin Zhou has nothing to do with me."
Tian Xin knew this would happen, so she simply raised the stakes: "What if, I'm willing to come forward to clarify the previous news."
Li Qingning's eyes lit up, but she still pretended to be indifferent and tested Tian Xin: "How do you want to clarify?"
"I went to the media and said that the previous news was made up by me and that I had nothing to do with the eldest son of the Lin family. The reason I did that was just to take the opportunity to ask for some money," said Tian Xin.
"What else?"
"Anything else? What else?" Tian Xin pretended not to understand and asked her deliberately.
Li Qingning smiled. "Don't think I don't know what you're up to? You've ruined the Liang family to this point, and now you're just going to dismiss them with a single word? Who's going to bear the losses from before? Even if you issue this statement, what kind of turnaround can it bring to the Liang family?"
"How would I know that?" Tian Xin leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms, and said helplessly, "I'm just a farmer. How can I know so much about business?"
"Then why do you want these five hundred thousand? And why do you think I will give it to you?"
"I don't know. I'm just trying it out. If you give it to me, I'll give it to you. If you don't, forget it. Liang's going to collapse anyway. If you don't give it to me, I'll ask Liang Qiuye for it. I'm sure he won't refuse me."
After saying that, she put the instructions into her bag and got up and left.
When she left, she waved to Li Qingning obediently: "Goodbye, little mom."
The two "door gods" at the door saw her about to go out, and when they saw that Li Qingning didn't leave, they reached out to stop her.
"Brothers, why are you stopping me? My stepmother is over there." She pointed at Li Qingning who was still sitting there thinking.
Without Li Qingning's order, the two men did not dare to let the person go, and a tense situation began to develop between the two sides.
Tian Xin tried to persuade him with all her might, her lips moving up and down until foam came out of the corners of her mouth, but the two "door gods" remained unmoved.
There was no choice but to turn around and go back.
As soon as she turned around, Li Qingning was standing behind her, standing like a zombie.
"Ha——" She took a deep breath in shock, braked suddenly and stopped, thus avoiding bumping into Li Qingning.
"Little Mom, you scared me to death."
Li Qingning snorted coldly: "What? Can't leave?"
"Yes, these two big brothers stopped me from leaving. Go talk to them."
"Then don't leave." Li Qingning turned around and went back to sit in the same seat.
"Oh, no—Mom, what do you mean? Even if the deal doesn't go through, there's still friendship. You're not letting me go, that's unreasonable!"
"Come and sit down!"
"I don't!"
"I'll give you the money, come here."
Tian Xin was stunned. What?
"Little Mom, are you serious? Are you really going to give me 500,000?"
"come over!"
Oh, come here!
She ran back happily and sat down, extending her hand to Li Qingning.
Li Qingning placed a handful of dried fruit in her hand and said with a smile, "This is a deposit. Once you issue your statement, the 500,000 will be transferred to your account."
Tsk! You’re kidding!
She angrily glared at Li Qingning, threw the dried fruit back, and got up and left.
"Wait!" Li Qingning called her again.
She was secretly happy but pretended to be impatient: "What?"
"Come with me."
"Where are you going?"
"Don't ask so many questions, just go, I'll give you the money when you get there."
Perhaps fearing she wouldn't believe him, Li Qingning opened her wallet again, pulled out a wad of money and handed it to her: "Is this okay?"
The money felt quite heavy in her hand. She glanced at it, forced a smile, and said, "This is too little! It's not even enough for me to eat for a month."
"Okay, if you keep messing around like this, you won't get a cent."
Li Qingning was about to reach out to take the money back. She quickly withdrew her hand, put the money in her bag, and then followed him out the door.
