After Xiao Linye left, Ye Yuning glanced at the ti; it wasn’t even ten o’clock. She recalled the three hundred million she had discussed with Tang Xi!
She pulled out her phone and called Zheng Cai. The call connected after only two rings.
Before Ye Yuning could speak, Zheng Cai said, "I was just about to call you. The wedding is tomorrow; why don’t you co back and stay tonight? We can go to the wedding venue together tomorrow."
Ye Yuning couldn’t help but marvel at the power of money. Three hundred million had made Zheng Cai go to such lengths for her.
Since her childhood, when had Zheng Cai not tried everything possible to push her away? She would have preferred to throw her as far away as possible! Asking her to co back and stay? That had truly never happened before!
Speaking of which, the villa the Ye family currently occupied... it was a gift from the son of the old lady she’d saved when she was thirteen. The deed had been transferred to her na, yet she’d never spent a single night there. Co to think of it, that place is actually mine, isn’t it?
Thinking of Zheng Cai’s self-righteous deanor that day, Ye Yuning smoothed her long hair and laughed ambiguously. "There’s no need for to co back."
What was hers, she would eventually take back! Now that so many detestable people were living there, she had no intention of going back just to get upset.
On the other end of the phone, when Zheng Cai heard Ye Yuning say she wouldn’t return, she didn’t press her.
Instead, she continued, "Everything for the wedding has been arranged. The Qin Family has spent a lot of money on it. You’re quite lucky."
’Lucky,’ she really had the nerve to say that!
Ye Yuning disdained her hypocrisy and snorted coldly. "I don’t know if I’m lucky or not, but Mrs. Ye, we are, after all, mother and daughter. Surely you wouldn’t let live too miserably after I get married, would you?"
"How could that be? With the Qin Family’s vast estate, how could you possibly live poorly?"
Zheng Cai didn’t understand what Ye Yuning suddenly ant.
She had always loved to speak hypocritically, yet at this mont, she failed to grasp the hidden aning in Yuning’s words.
Seeing that Zheng Cai didn’t understand, Ye Yuning continued, mimicking her hypocritical tone, "A woman, whether before or after marriage, can only rely on her natal family. No matter how large the in-laws’ estate is, it has nothing to do with her, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Cai’s expression instantly brightened.
This damn girl, is she finally willing to bow her head? My previous caution finally feels a bit rewarded. Damn girl, what took you so long!
When she spoke, her tone couldn’t hide her delight. "It’s rare that you understand these things. Rest assured, we are mother and daughter, after all. Even if you’re not my biological daughter, since you call ’Mom,’ I naturally won’t let you suffer in the Qin Family."
Hearing her undisguised, delighted hypocrisy, the scorn on Ye Yuning’s lips deepened.
A sly gleam flickered in her eyes. "So, for this marriage into the Qin Family, Mom, how much dowry do you plan to give?"
Ye Yuning said the word ’Mom’ with a playful insinuation.
Her sudden demand for money sent the elated Zheng Cai crashing from heaven to hell!
"What—what did you say...? Dowry?"
She isn’t my biological daughter; why should I prepare a dowry for her? Just a mont ago, she was playing the sympathy card with , and now she’s bluntly asking for money? Is this little brat trying to play ?
Before Zheng Cai could respond, Ye Yuning spoke again, "How about two hundred million? After all, the Ye Family is a newly prominent family in Upper City, and this is your first ti marrying off a daughter. You have to maintain your own prestige, don’t you?"
Hearing her ntion "two hundred million," Zheng Cai shrieked, "Are you crazy?"
Her, worth a two-hundred-million dowry? What a beautiful dream she’s having!
Zheng Cai clenched the phone tighter. Before she could start cursing, Ye Yuning completely dropped the pretense.
Her tone shifted, becoming threatening. "If two hundred million isn’t in my account by tomorrow morning, I’ll show up for the wedding on ti. Otherwise..."
Ye Yuning didn’t finish, but her aning was crystal clear.
She was threatening Zheng Cai: no money, no wedding!
The tricked Zheng Cai exploded with anger. "Don’t even think about it! Aren’t you aware of your own worth?"
I said a few nice words to her, and she took them seriously? Once she marries into the Qin Family, her life or death will have nothing to do with our Ye Family. And she still wants two hundred million? Is she even worth that much? The nerve of her to ask!
Ye Yuning retorted, "The Qin Family paid three hundred million for this wedding. What do you think my value is?!"
Zheng Cai stamred, "You..."
"Rember, I want two hundred million. Two hundred million, Mrs. Ye! You should think it over carefully; there isn’t much ti left."
With that, Ye Yuning hung up the phone.
Her arrogant and threatening tone infuriated Zheng Cai on the other end so much that she smashed her phone!
