Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Poverty Limits Imagination_1

Zhu Zihao found Qin Sisi’s strong reaction rather strange, and explained, "Although I’m not a top-tier tycoon, I used to have tens of millions of wealth. Gu Liang duped

out of most of my fortune. My wife should only have a savings of around one million and two properties. I also have parents and a child, giving them a total of 500,000 for the four of them isn’t too much, is it? I originally wanted one million, but seeing that you don’t look wealthy, I halved it."

Zhu Zihao seed very understanding, as if he was already considering Qin Sisi. However, she really wanted to roll her eyes at him; he had no idea of the hardships faced by common people!

Just a few days ago, she was chuffed just because she had a hundred thousand dollars on hand, feeling confident that she could live for a year without a problem. Yet now she realized that her entire wealth only satisfied one-fifth of Zhu Zihao’s demand.

After much hesitation, Qin Sisi said, "I’m sorry, I really don’t have so much money."

In Qin Sisi’s opinion, Zhu Zihao was demanding too much. She indeed didn’t have that much money, nor did she have anyone from whom she could borrow it.

Zhu Zihao furrowed his eyebrows, "You don’t even have five hundred thousand? You really are poor."

Qin Sisi pursed her lips, falling silent. After all, she was indeed poor.

Standing to one side, Ning Hao was also slightly frowning. To ordinary folks like him and Qin Sisi, five hundred thousand was indeed a huge sum.

At this point, Grandma Chu slowly spoke up, "Zihao, your relatives have the inheritance you left behind. They should be able to live well. Matters have their order of priority, make sure not to lose sight of what is important."

Upon hearing Grandma Chu’s words, Zhu Zihao fell into contemplation. In the end, as though he had made a decision, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let’s go with two hundred thousand then. I can’t accept any less."

Qin Sisi sighed, "Sorry, I don’t have two hundred thousand either; I’ll tell you the truth. I only have a hundred thousand yuan. No more."

Zhu Zihao rejected it imdiately, "One hundred thousand is absolutely unacceptable. My son’s kindergarten fees alone were a hundred thousand a year."

Qin Sisi was taken aback. Indeed, poverty limited her imagination. A hundred thousand for kindergarten for one year?! She felt as though her expenses from elentary school to university weren’t even that much.

Imdiately after, Zhu Zihao looked at Qin Sisi with so uncertainty,asking hesitatingly, "Are you really capable of helping

get revenge? How can a mage with strong spiritual power be so poor?"

Qin Sisi muttered to herself inwardly: What does spiritual power have to do with money? When you were so rich, you couldn’t even tell good from bad people, could you?

Such words, of course, couldn’t be said out loud. No matter what, he was a victim. She couldn’t salt his wounds.

At this crucial mont of a trust crisis, half-immortal Grandma Chu spoke again at the right ti, "Zihao, I can vouch for Ms. Qin’s abilities. You know I don’t et people casually. If she didn’t have the ability, she wouldn’t have found ."

Grandma Chu’s voice was old and hoarse, but at this mont, it sounded incredibly pleasing to Qin Sisi’s ears.

Qin Sisi smiled gratefully at Grandma Chu.

Grandma Chu’s wrinkle-filled face showed no expression as she said indifferently, "Ms. Qin, you don’t have to thank . If you both can get what you need from each other, it would be a win-win situation. It’s a waste to have a disagreent over money."

Qin Sisi sighed, "Grandma Chu is right; I am very willing to reach an agreent with Mr. Zhu, but I really don’t have that much money."

Zhu Zihao’s expression was filled with sorrow as he said, "Grandma Chu, it’s not that I am greedy for money, but I feel guilty for my family. I hope they can live better. Two hundred thousand really isn’t that much."

Grandma Chu furrowed her eyebrows. She had already said everything she could. If they still couldn’t co to an agreent, there was nothing she could do.

Even Ye You, who was part of the Demon Sacred Realm and found money to be of no issue, felt a little helpless in the Human World.

Ye You nestled in Qin Sisi’s bosom, softly owing a few tis.

Qin Sisi glanced at Ye You. It seed like this was the only option.

So, Qin Sisi said to Zhu Zihao, "Mr. Zhu, I really don’t have that much money now. If you insist on two hundred thousand, please give

so ti. I’ll find you once I’ve saved up two hundred thousand."

Zhu Zihao furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "How long will it take?"

Qin Sisi shook her head, "I’m not sure. It all depends on luck."

Going to the antique market to sift through the multitude of ordinary items and find a truly valuable item, then resell it – this process indeed required a great deal of luck. Not every ti does one get as lucky as when she found the blue and white porcelain.

Zhu Zihao’s face fell into despair as he said softly to himself, "I’ve already waited for so long. Do I still need to keep waiting?"

After more than a year of patience and waiting, each ti he thought about Gu Liang’s treacherous cruelty, his family’s heartfelt cries, Zhu Zihao was filled with heart-wrenching pain. He couldn’t wait to have Gu Liang pay for his cris imdiately.

Yet, he also hoped to give his family more money so they could lead a better life.

Just as Zhu Zihao and Qin Sisi were grappling with their predicant, Ning Hao walked over to Qin Sisi and asked, "Is collecting soul power very important to you, Sisi?"

"Yes," answered Qin Sisi. She turned towards Ning Hao, not understanding why he would suddenly ask such a question.

Ning Hao paused for a mont, then made a decision and spoke, "I’ll lend you a hundred thousand, which will make up the two hundred thousand for Mr. Zhu."

Both Zhu Zihao and Qin Sisi’s eyes sparkled; Zhu Zihao was delighted, Qin Sisi was shocked.

Qin Sisi imdiately said anxiously, "No, no! I can’t use your money."

Ning Hao said firmly, "I said I would lend it to you. You can pay

back when you have earned enough. I don’t need it at the mont, and since it is important to you and Mr. Zhu is in a hurry, you can use it first."

At this point, Ning Yue comnted from behind, "Big brother, your savings are only a hundred thousand, right? You have to keep so seed money for yourself!"

Ning Yue said this while casting a dissatisfied look at Qin Sisi, as if saying: Look how good my brother is to you, why don’t you like him?

Ning Hao replied to Ning Yue a little severely, "Xiao Yue, I have made my considerations. Stop talking. And, as I’ve already ntioned, it’s a loan, not a gift."

Qin Sisi was still hesitant. Ever since she knew about Ning Hao’s feelings for her, she tried to keep a distance from him. Now, accepting his help ant that she would not only owe him money, but also a huge favor, and she didn’t know when she could repay it.

Ye You saw through Qin Sisi’s thoughts, owing, "Take it. Don’t worry. I will think of a way to repay it as soon as possible."

Considering that she hadn’t captured any ghosts these past few days, Qin Sisi was indeed a bit anxious. Since Ye You agreed, she decided to accept it.
