Chapter 2294: How Much Do You Want?
With such a premise, why had Chen Jun been willing to break up with Qiao Nan to marry her so that Chen Feng could be born? If that was what he had chosen, shouldn’t he have cherished their marriage?
If Chen Jun had treated her well, it would have been taking responsibility for and coaxing Qiao Nan. She was Qiao Nan’s elder sister, after all. Chen Jun had betrayed both Qiao Nan and her. Was Chen Jun really not afraid that Qiao Nan would make him her enemy after she found out about all these things?
If not for Qiao Nan, who would act as a guarantee for her happiness after marriage, Qiao Zijin would never have been so bold as to make use of Ding Jiayi to force Qiao Nan to back out because of her pregnancy.
Today, Qiao Zijin had finally gotten the answers to all her questions. Even though Chen Jun had indeed loved Qiao Nan, his intentions had not been entirely pure in the beginning. No wonder he wasn’t even afraid of betraying her after having betrayed her sister.
“What do you mean?” Wang Yang couldn’t help but grab onto Qiao Zijin’s arm. “You’re leaving just like that after saying such ridiculous things? Do you not want the five million yuan anymore? I already said that you can propose a fair price.”
“Raising my price? Are you giving me six million, seven million, or ten million? Oh, it seems like you’re prepared to give me ten million. It’s true that your highest price isn’t exactly low, and it was my best price. Unfortunately, I don’t want it anymore.”
Qiao Zijin was puffing herself up at her own cost by saying those words. It was ten million yuan! Of course, Qiao Zijin had been tempted. But she had tried several times, and not even once had she succeeded in persuading Qiao Nan to change her mind. Knowing that Wang Yang’s chances of winning the lawsuit were incredibly slim, Qiao Zijin dared not be too confident in herself about settling the matter and earning that huge sum of money.
In reality, Qiao Zijin had already used up everything she knew. Since none of that had worked, she had no choice but to give up. Now, Qiao Zijin had even found out that Wang Yang had been involved in her failed marriage. She had agreed to meet Wang Yang just to confirm that.
The result of the meeting wasn’t exactly ideal for Qiao Zijin, but at the very least, she had finally satisfied her curiosity. It wasn’t that Qiao Nan hadn’t been charming enough or that she had planned something wrongly. The biggest problems were Wang Yang and Chen Jun themselves.
She had lost ten of the most brilliant years in her life because she had tried to take advantage of Chen Jun. As for Wang Yang, he had surely lost out after meeting Qiao Nan too. With such a comparison, Qiao Zijin no longer thought that she was that pitiful. Wasn’t Wang Yang even more miserable?
“Ten million is not enough? How much do you want?!” Wang Yang thought that he was going to go crazy because of Qiao Zijin and Qiao Nan. The Qiao sisters were greedy b*tches! What was different was that Qiao Zijin showed how b*tchy she was on the surface, while Qiao Nan hid it well.
Ever since that will made its appearance, Wang Yang had been reflecting on why he hadn’t kept a close enough eye on Zhu Chengqi, giving him the opportunity to draft such a will. But what angered Wang Yang the most was that Zhu Chengqi was a capable man with a high position. It was no surprise that he wasn’t able to win Zhu Chengqi, but who was Qiao Nan? What gave her the right to inherit Zhu Chengqi’s assets, and why did he insist on getting her as his goddaughter?
Wang Yang felt that it was reasonable to suspect that Qiao Nan had gone to Zhu Chengqi and made a huge show behind his back. If Qiao Nan had never gotten in touch with Zhu Chengqi behind his back, why would Zhu Chengqi have come up with such a foolish and unreasonable will that left all of the Zhu family’s assets to an outsider like Qiao Nan?
Because she had had many experiences being abandoned, it was a fresh experience for Qiao Zijin to ‘abandon’ someone for a change. She withdrew her arm. “Wang Yang, have I not made myself clear? Don’t talk about ten million yuan. Even if you offer me a hundred million yuan, I don’t want it anymore.” Anyway, there was no way she would get it even if she did want it. In short, that sum of money would have nothing to do with her no matter what happened.
Knowing that she wouldn’t get that sum of money, Qiao Zijin’s heart ached. It was a sum that she would never be able to earn in her entire lifetime.
But the problem was that Wang Yang was even more pitiful than she was. As such, Qiao Zijin felt comforted. This was the second reason behind agreeing to ‘have a chat’ with Wang Yang. Happiness came from comparison. Although she wouldn’t be able to get ten million yuan, that was nothing in comparison to Wang Yang’s predicament.
She had nothing to do with the Zhu family. In fact, they had never even met. As for Wang Yang? He was the Zhu family’s biological nephew, and Wang Yang’s mother was even Zhu Chengqi’s biological sister. Zhu Chengqi didn’t have a son either, and it had always been Wang Yang taking care of him. In that way, it was only expected that the Zhu family’s assets would go to Wang Yang after Zhu Chengqi’s death. But now, it seemed as though Wang Yang wouldn’t even get a single cent. This was true misery.
Because she had been comforted, Qiao Zijin felt that she would be able to return to Ping Cheng with peace in her heart. What Qiao Zijin was grateful for was that Wang Yang had already given her a sum of money when he had first approached her. Qiao Zijin had already done her calculations. The money that she had spent during her stay in the capital, including her hospitalization bills, had not gone beyond that sum of money that Wang Yang had given her.
In that case, she had lost nothing apart from a bit of time.
As for her failed marriage to Chen Jun, Qiao Zijin no longer wanted to think about it. Having laughed at Wang Yang and sought comfort from him, Qiao Zijin left with light steps to pack up. Because she had paid for three months’ worth of rent and made a deposit of one month’s rent, there was no way she could recover all her money. Still, whatever she could recover was enough for her. She had earned it through her hard work.
Wang Yang was infuriated at Qiao Zijin’s attitude. The moment Qiao Zijin left, he slammed two hundred-yuan bills on the table and headed directly home. Li Yayan had initially wanted to ask about the situation, but she chose to keep her curiosity to herself upon seeing Wang Yang’s dark expression. “Dear, what shall we do now? These two Qiaos are too amazing. I wonder if Qiao Zijin agreed to help us because she was already in cahoots with Qiao Nan to stir up trouble for us.”
