Chapter 456 Three thousand yuan! Are you crazy?
At the gate of a courtyard in Beijing City.
Wang Paner covered half of her face with a scarf and looked around cautiously.
After a while, as if she was finally sure that the surroundings were safe, Wang Paner reached out and gently knocked on the door.
"Pan'er, you're here!"
When Duan Zhehong saw the person outside the door, he was delighted and excitement appeared in his eyes.
Wang Pan'er didn't hear clearly what Duan Zhehong said. The moment the door opened, she hurried into the yard.
"Close the door! Close the door!"
After making sure the door was closed tightly, Wang Paner untied her scarf, revealing an expression of impatience on her face.
"What's going on? You have to tell me face to face!"
"Didn't I tell you that it's best not for us to meet before the baby is born? Did you ignore my words?"
"If the Xu family finds out, both of us will be in trouble!"
Wang Pan'er's face was full of annoyance. She was simply fed up with Duan Zhehong's frequent behavior of asking Aunt Zhao to send her letters.
If Duan Zhehong hadn't threatened her in his last letter that if she didn't come out to meet him, he would go to Xu's house to find her in person, she wouldn't have to take the risk of coming out.
You know, ever since he found out that she was pregnant with twins, Xu Yao has been keeping a close eye on her because he cares about her safety.
Even when going out, guards would always follow him.
Today, she took Aunt Zhao out with her under the pretext of buying some private things that women need.
"Pan'er, I miss you, don't you miss me?"
"Let me see our son!"
As Duan Zhehong spoke, he squatted in front of Wang Paner and put his face against her already bulging belly.
However, Wang Pan'er had no intention of enjoying this warm moment. She pushed Duan Zhehong away.
"Stop it, I'm talking to you!!"
"What kind of big event is this that's causing the world to fall?"
Duan Zhehong stood up slowly, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly in a mocking manner.
"Oh, what, now that you're going to be Mrs. Xu, you don't recognize your old lover anymore?"
"People say whores are heartless and actors are disloyal. This is very true for you, Wang Pan'er!"
"Duan Zhehong, you are nothing! How can you say that!"
Wang Pan'er never expected that Duan Zhehong would say such a thing. For a moment, her blood rushed up and she even felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen.
After feeling the pain in her abdomen, Wang Paner immediately calmed herself down and took deep breaths.
The baby in her belly is her biggest bargaining chip for becoming Mrs. Xu.
After taking a deep breath, Wang Paner looked at the person in front of her coldly.
"Stop beating around the bush and tell me what you want."
"I want money. Give me three thousand yuan! I'll let you rest assured and take care of your pregnancy in the Xu family!"
When Duan Zhehong saw Wang Paner's hateful eyes, he knew that she must be hating him.
Oh, if he hadn’t lost so much while playing cards with someone half a month ago that he had to borrow a loan with high interest, and now was being chased for debts every day, he wouldn’t have wanted to fall out with Wang Pan’er so quickly.
But the loan sharks said that if he didn't pay back the money within three days, they would take his hand.
At a time when his life was at stake, he really didn't want to play along with Wang Pan'er any more.
Anyway, the baby in Wang Paner's belly is his best bargaining chip, just as he thought before.
As long as he has this handle in his hand, Wang Pan'er will have no choice but to obey him!
"Three thousand dollars! Are you crazy? I don't have that much money!"
Wang Paner's eyes widened. She never expected that Duan Zhehong would dare to be so arrogant.
If I had known this earlier, I could have bought a small yard in Beijing with three thousand yuan!
Although she has been in the Xu family for these years, she is not valued by Xu Fei. Although she has no worries about food and drink, she does not have much money.
In addition, she also bought a yard for Duan Zhehong, and she had her own expenses, so there was really not much left.
Asking her to come up with three thousand dollars at this moment is totally impossible for her!
"It's only three thousand yuan. It shouldn't be a big deal for you, the future Mrs. Xu!"
"Of course, if you are stingy and don't want to pay, I won't force you!"
"Haha, I just don't know if you are still worthy of being Mrs. Xu!"
Duan Hongzhe sat on the table with his legs crossed. He slowly poured himself a cup of herbal tea and drank it in small sips as if he was tasting tea.
"You dare to threaten me?"
"It's you who's being threatened, so what?"
Wang Paner's face looked extremely ugly, and the look she gave Duan Hongzhe was as if a knife was flying out of it.
She gritted her teeth, took a deep breath for a moment, and suddenly her expression relaxed. She sat next to Duan Hongzhe and gently held his hand.
"Hongzhe! Look, given our friendship over the years, why should we make things so awkward, right?"
"As the saying goes, a husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. Even if we are not husband and wife, we are still in the same boat."
"Of course I am obliged to help you with your difficulties, but you also have to understand and be considerate of me!"
"After all, I haven't officially become Mrs. Xu yet, and the Xu family's assets haven't come into my hands yet. I really can't afford so much money!"
Wang Pan'er looked at Duan Hongzhe earnestly, "Hongzhe, how about this? I'll sell all my jewelry later, and add the money I have left, I should be able to get around 500 yuan. You can use it first!"
"Don't worry, as long as I become Mrs. Xu, I will never forget your kindness!"
"By then, the entire Xu family will belong to our children. As a father, are you still afraid that you won't have a good life?"
"Don't give me cake! I won't eat it!"
"It must be three thousand, not a cent less! And five hundred, you are not treating a beggar like that!"
No matter how nice Wang Pan'er said, Duan Hongzhe still refused to give in.
You know, he can be lenient, but the small-time loan shark cannot!
His hand is important, but his life is more important!
Wang Pan'er clenched her teeth and looked at Duan Hongzhe's stubborn expression, feeling regretful.
When she left Duan Hongzhe before, she knew what a useless and selfish person he was!
How could I believe his sweet words later? Not only did I support him all these years, but now I have let him catch me with such a big handle!
However, now that she has taken this step, she must become Mrs. Xu!
Now, any factors that may affect her becoming Mrs. Xu must not appear!
"Hongzhe, please be reasonable. Three thousand yuan is really too much. I really can't take it out right now!"
"How about this, I'll give you 500 tomorrow, and I'll give you the rest in batches, okay?"
"No! I'm going to say this one last time. I must see three thousand dollars within three days!"
"Otherwise, I'll go to the gate of the military compound!"
