Sister Ning’s smile at the bottom of her eyes gradually cooled down, “Since you’ve already said that I’ve gone to such lengths, do you really think a mere five million is enough to buy Shen Jun’s freedom?”
“Then make it ten million,” Yi Xian still had that condescending attitude, “I can’t be bothered to quibble with you, out of respect for Old Li’s face, consider it charity, and don’t let yourself lose too much face.”
Sister Ning’s smile became even colder, her tone carrying a hint of scorn, “I’m really curious, what exactly did Shen Jiangqing give you to have you scampering over here to clean up her big brother’s mess? Even Li Lingyang hasn’t come to me to drop the lawsuit, yet here you are, even more eager than him?”
Yi Xian, managing to restrain his anger, narrowed his eyes with disdain.
“Jiangqing has heart disease and can’t take the stress, her brother was wrong to drug you, but you didn’t suffer any loss, did you? Twenty million then, for someone like you who wouldn’t hesitate to sell yourself for advancement, that’s a bargain. You’d best take it while you can, otherwise, wait until the day I get Shen Jun out through other channels, and you won’t get a penny.”
So Shen Jiangqing has heart disease and can’t take the stress, so she deserves to be drugged by a scumbag?
What kind of logic is that…
Sister Ning laughed mockingly with scorn, “According to you, then I should really not let Shen Jun out! After all, I’m so vicious, so money-grubbing, why should I settle for beggar’s money and humble myself? Wouldn’t it be better to just vex Shen Jiangqing to death?”
“Ning Yichu, don’t throw away face when it’s given to you!” Yi Xian grew angry, glaring furiously at her, “When you climbed into Old Li’s bed back then, you forced Jiangqing to have a child alone, and now just as they’re preparing for a wedding, you bring back a bastard child, what your purpose is, everyone knows all too well! Old Li might be fooled by you, but I won’t be…”
Sister Ning watched his temper flare, “Oh, you feel for Shen Jiangqing, do you? Then go advise your good buddy Li Lingyang, tell him to send word and not to make things hard on Shen Jun.”
Yi Xian’s chest heaved with anger as he pointed at Ning Yichu furiously, “I’m asking you one last time, take the money and release him, or do you want to keep playing with me?”
“Ten minutes are up, oh my, I’ve got to go back to the company, I won’t see you out,” Ning Yichu said coldly, grabbing her bag and leaving with poise.
She really thinks she’s some great catch? Doesn’t she see, it’s been so long since she and Li Lingyang divorced, does she think I would give him any face?
But Shen Jiangqing really is something, managing to find so many “lapdogs”, playing the pitiful, heartwrenching act with her heart disease, and naturally, there are those who would hustle for her…

“Ning Yichu, fine! If you want to play with me, I’ll play you to death.”
The café door closed, completely cutting off Yi Xian’s threatening voice.
Ning Yichu was sure in her heart that she wouldn’t easily release anyone until she dug something out from Shen Jun’s mouth.
…
Shen Jiangqing had found Yi Xian to persuade Ning Yichu to drop the lawsuit.
Yi Xian had liked her since back in the day, and now that she use the fact that Chengcheng’s uncle had a criminal record as a sob story, he was eager to help her out.
She was pure, but Shen Jun was not one for wise decisions; if tormented for too long, he’d likely betray her.
She had climbed up to her current position with difficulty and couldn’t let a fool drag her down.
While she was deep in thought, Nanny He’s gentle voice came from downstairs, “Little Miss and young masters, are you back? Come, hand your schoolbags to Granny He.”
“Thank you, Granny He,” Chen Bao said as he handed over his schoolbag, while also taking Doudou’s little schoolbag.
Doudou’s backpack was still full of little snacks, but she didn’t eat much today.
Nanny He weighed the bag and asked in confusion, “Little Miss doesn’t like snacks anymore?”
Doudou’s little face was blushing, too embarrassed to say that the snacks were actually all for Sister Ningning.
Chen Bao, on the other hand, was very serious, tilting his head back and speaking earnestly to Nanny He, “Granny He, we’re at the age where we’re growing and developing, so we shouldn’t prepare so many snacks for Doudou. Eating too many will spoil her appetite for meals and isn’t good for her stomach either…”
Nanny He was “schooled” but didn’t feel sad. Instead, she was impressed by how the young master Chen Bao cared for his sister, and feeling somewhat ashamed, she said, “I was just worried Little Miss would get hungry and too shy to talk. Now that you’re with her, I naturally don’t need to prepare so many snacks.”
“Ha, Granny He, you talk as if I never took care of Doudou before,” Chengcheng said, stepping in with shining shoes, chin lifted, his voice cold as he questioned.
Nanny He was still a bit afraid of Chengcheng, who, like his mother, was unpredictable in mood. She hurriedly said, “Little Young Master, that wasn’t what I meant… Please don’t be angry…”
“I think you just take advantage of having looked after Granny He and act high and mighty. It’s about time you were fired,” Chengcheng said in a frosty tone, glancing sideways at Doudou and Chen Bao with a hint of provocation and disdain, clearly making it hard for her because Nanny He was closer to Chen Bao and Doudou.
Chen Bao saw the challenge in his eyes and retorted with disdain, “Nanny He takes good care of us, why should we dismiss her? Besides, it’s not your place to make decisions about this household yet.”
“My mommy is the lady of the house, of course, she can make decisions.”
“Lady of the house? Did you give her that title yourself? Why don’t you figure out how long it’s been since our trashy dad slept at home? Who knows, in a few days, he might ditch your mommy.”
Chengcheng was furiously red upon hearing this; and it was true that ever since they returned from the holiday resort, his dad hadn’t been as close to his mom.
These days, he had even been staying out, only returning in the morning to have breakfast with them and occasionally dropping them off at school…
Plus, his mom had asked him to call his grandmother and moan about their situation that day…
Stiff-necked with anger, he cursed, “What do you know, you little bastard? My mommy saved my daddy’s life! They’re just fighting, they’ll make up in a few days…”
“So, she’s holding onto gratitude to exert control?” Chen Bao couldn’t help clapping his hands sarcastically, pouting, “Then she’s doomed. Whenever she’s done collecting gratitude, trashy dad can kick her out.”
“You—” Chengcheng was really upset this time, the tears flowing from his eyes not just because of Chen Bao’s words, but more for fear that his dad might really abandon his mom and him. He still wanted to inherit the Li Family, to be the glorious Young Master of the Li Family, basking in the envious praise of his classmates…
Shen Jiangqing heard the noise and came downstairs, immediately protecting Chengcheng in his arms, glowering at Chen Bao, “Chen Bao, why are you bullying your brother?”
“Foxy lady, which eye of yours saw me bullying him?”
“If you weren’t bullying him, why is Chengcheng crying so sadly? I could hear it all the way upstairs. Even if I’m arguing with your dad, I’m still your elder. How can you fabricate stories about your elders like this? Is this what you learned in the orphanage?”
Chen Bao stood his ground, “I learned a lot in the orphanage, but nobody taught me that the weaker person is always right. Just because he couldn’t handle my words and started crying, does that mean I bullied him? Bad auntie, your logic is so strange… Oh, right, maybe I did mess up your head last time, sorry! Let me offer you a sincere apology…”
Shen Jiangqing was already seething, and mentioning the past only fueled her anger.
She was so close to achieving her goal, so close to throwing herself at Li Lingyang, but because of these kids, all her plans had fallen apart!
