834: Chapter 834: Is One Invincible When They Are Utterly Despicable?
What is recklessness based on powerful backing?
Joy’s current behavior is the perfect example.
She was certain that Zhang Hao’s family would not bear to abort the child in her womb.
So…
Regardless of whether they married or aborted the baby…
She would still get her hands on a large sum of money one way or another.
Seeing Joy’s self-assured appearance, Wu Jie couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.
Quite the scher!
Yesterday, her deanor was sincere, without any concealnt or pretense, and her demands were low.
Besides asking for six Detox Pills, she demanded 100,000 yuan if she got an abortion, and if she kept the baby, accommodation and a nanny had to be arranged.
But today…
Damn, it had all changed.
No wonder, now that the Detox Pill had healed her, she no longer had to fret or worry about AIDS, and she was completely rejuvenated.
And having failed to make money from going abroad on the Super Cruise Ship Brune, she was still desperately poor.
Given this golden opportunity that she was pregnant with Zhang Hao’s child, how could she not seize the chance to make a fortune?
Her plan was indeed clever.
First suppress, then entice.
By entering the shop and letting the staff know, it was as if she had inford Zhang Hao’s parents.
The older generation would never agree to an abortion; she had already laid that groundwork.
Then she asked Zhang Hao to accompany her for a paternity test to confirm the child was indeed his.
She soothed Wu Jie and Zhang Hao into complacency with very low demands.
And then ca today.
As soon as Zhang Hao’s parents arrived, she played her trump card by unexpectedly bringing her own parents too.
She no longer talked about being paid to terminate the pregnancy; she directly wanted to marry Zhang Hao.
A son elevates a mother’s status!
A shotgun wedding!
Not only a costly dowry but also demanding shared marital property.
Wu Jie estimated if he agreed to Joy’s family’s conditions, then the wedding itself could also turn into extortion.
The costs of pregnancy and rest at ho would be substantial.
Financial rewards for childbirth, encouragent for postpartum care…
And once the child grew up, there would be even more expenses.
In short.
Joy was treating the child in her womb as if it were a credit card with no spending limit, constantly withdrawing ‘money’ from Zhang Hao.
Of course.
The one she was really trapping was Wu Jie, not just Zhang Hao’s family.
Given their current situation, how could Zhang Hao’s family afford a 20 million yuan dowry?
Wouldn’t Joy’s continual demands on Zhang Hao’s family essentially beco an indirect squeeze on Wu Jie?
After all, Wu Jie places great value on loyalty and helping a friend out.
Treating Wu Jie like a cash tree would surely be more profitable than her becoming an internet celebrity!
Damn!
Such a lowlife!
Wu Jie was seething inside; he almost wished he could just shoot her.
But…
The fact they could agree to a 20 million yuan dowry shows Zhang Yong and his wife really cherish the child.
Joy had surely grasped this point, giving her the boldness to act so recklessly.
The atmosphere grew sowhat awkward.
Wu Jie wore a cold smile, silent, as the others dared not make a sound.
Joy, unfazed and without any sign of nervousness or fear, smiled confidently, looking at Wu Jie.
The child in her womb was her ace!
Wu Jie took out a cigarette, was about to light it but then set it down.
“Hardly a day passed, and your words are completely different!” Wu Jie said with a sneer.
Joy slightly smiled, her eyes proud.
“Tis have changed; I thought about it all last night and decided I can’t marry anyone but Hao.
He is my true destiny, I like him, love him, and if I don’t marry him and bear his children, I’d regret it for life…”
Her words were dripping with mushy romantic expressions.
Listening to her, Wu Jie couldn’t help but feel nauseous.
Damn!
A gold-digger who had countless ex-boyfriends.
And she dare act so tender and affectionate here?
This was a classic case of faking decency!
While hearing these words…
Zhang Yong and his wife looked much relieved, still unaware of Joy’s true character.
But for Zhang Hao, he felt like vomiting just like Wu Jie.
“Anyway, I genuinely want to marry Hao, and though a 20 million yuan dowry seems like a lot, for you, Jie, that’s rely about a hundred Detox Pills—just a small sum that you wouldn’t care about, right?”
Joy’s lips curled slightly, her gaze sly, clearly intent on trapping Wu Jie.
“That’s right!
Didn’t I say before?
Three houses, this building, and the 20 million yuan dowry, I’ll give it all to Haizhu!” Wu Jie’s tone shifted as he asked with a sneer, “But what I’m worried about is, will there be a lot of guests coming to cheer on the wedding day?”
At this statent.
A middle-aged woman imdiately replied, “No, our family side doesn’t have many relatives, five or six tables would be enough!”
“I’m not talking about friends and family; I an the ‘clients’ Joy works with!” Wu Jie glared at Joy, asking coldly, “They all have deep connections with you, letting you earn quite a fortune…”
Bang!
Wu Jie had not finished his sentence when Joy slamd the table hard.
“They won’t co!
Absolutely impossible!”
The old folks did not understand, but Wu Jie, Zhang Hao, and Joy herself knew very well what kind of ‘clients’ they were.
Joy, with her sweet words, planned to marry the honest Zhang Hao, clearly using him to escape her past and launder her reputation!
As for her past…
That was certainly her sore spot, the filthy history she did not want to ntion.
Don’t hit the face, don`t expose people’s shortcomings.
Wu Jie targeted her vulnerabilities, naturally provoking Joy to impulsively slam the table.
Only…
This scared Zhang Yong and his wife.
She’s not even through the door as a daughter-in-law yet?
Why such a temper?
What’s wrong with Wu Jie ntioning inviting guests to their wedding?
On such a joyous occasion as a wedding, inviting business partners and clients is perfectly normal, isn’t it?
Seeing Joy’s reaction, why does it look like she’s about to flip a table and hit soone?
“Calm down!
If you say don’t invite them, then don’t!”
Wu Jie smiled and then suddenly asked, “What if they can’t bear to let you go and show up at the wedding to bless you?
What would you do then?”
“You!!”
Joy pointed angrily at Wu Jie, “Don’t push too far.
The child you want is in my belly now!”
Sun iyu really couldn’t understand.
“What’s going on here?
What’s wrong with inviting guests to a wedding banquet?”
Zhang Yong couldn’t hold back any longer.
“Just speak plainly, Jie!”
Wu Jie glanced at the furious Joy.
“People are bullied when they are kind, and horses are ridden when they are gentle!
But being honest doesn’t an I’m easy to bully, and I definitely won’t be manipulated by others!”
Joy’s expression changed slightly, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
Wu Jie’s lips curled into a smile as his gaze, cold and bleak, fixed on Joy while he kicked the daydreaming Zhang Hao under the table.
“Take your uncle and aunt out and explain things clearly to them!”
“Why settle for this wretchedness when the world is full of beautiful flowers?
Bro, I can make you a billionaire, with plenty of nice girls to choose from, why be this sucker?”
Zhang Hao looked at Joy, then at his parents.
“Mom and Dad, co out, I have sothing to tell you!”
Zhang Yong and his wife glanced at each other, both feeling uneasy.
Joy glared daggers at Wu Jie, clenched her teeth, and balled her fists.
As the trio of Zhang Hao moved to step out, she couldn’t hold back anymore.
“Stop!!”
“Why can’t you say whatever you want to say to our faces?”
Joy, furious, still glaring at Wu Jie, pointed at the middle-aged couple beside her.
“You should have realized by now, they are not my parents; you’re right, I hired them!”
Turning her gaze, Joy commanded the two:
“You two, go back.
Later, I’ll transfer the remaining paynt to you!”
At this revelation:
Zhang Yong and his wife were even more confused.
And the middle-aged couple, who had been acting all along, imdiately showed apologetic smiles, stood up, and bowed to Wu Jie with their hands together in thanks.
“Sorry, Mr.
Wu, we didn’t an to deceive you.
We…”
“Get out!!”
Wu Jie harshly shouted.
The two imdiately sniggered awkwardly and scurried away.
The door closed, Joy snorted with a laugh, sat down, crossed her legs, and faced Wu Jie across the table.
“I dropped out at seventeen, got together with my first boyfriend in an internet cafe, and have been estranged from my parents…”
Joy confessed.
Her words were more fierce, direct, and unrestrained than those she’d said the day before.
Like how she’d gotten so drunk at a bar she only realized she’d been taken to a hotel in the middle of the night…
Or attended so yacht parties where she made in a week what most people earn in years…
In short.
Joy laid out her extrely sordid past without any reservation.
Sun iyu almost passed out from shock.
What kind of gentle, beautiful daughter-in-law is this?
For money, she had absolutely no sha or moral boundaries.
“…You can despise , even hate , and I’ll openly admit, I don’t like Zhang Hao at all, I’ve beco numb to n, what’s the difference who I’m with?”
During her rant, Joy also pulled a cigarette from her handbag to smoke.
Pregnant won shouldn’t smoke!
But for soone like Joy who’s been through the wringer…
her smoking was hardly a surprise.
At this point.
Sun iyu burst into tears, while Zhang Yong’s eyes bulged with rage, as if he wanted to kill soone.
With a wicked and arrogant look, Joy laughed at Wu Jie and Zhang Hao:
“I was planning to settle down, marrying Zhang Hao would an marrying into a rich family, living a carefree life of luxury forever!”
“I swear, if I really got married, I would’ve been good to the child and wouldn’t ss around because I’d have money already.
Why would I bother getting wild?
It’s just a pity…”
Joy glared fiercely at Wu Jie.
“Being so rich, with a fortune probably over tens of billions already, right?
A re twenty million in dowry, and you begrudge it?”
“In the end, you’re not afraid of spending money, you just despise !
You don’t want a dirty woman like to be your brother’s wife!”
“Won of the night eventually find honest n to marry, but why can’t I marry soone who’s both rich and honest?”
“Besides, is Zhang Hao really honest?
If he was, he wouldn’t have been so easily taken by the night he drove ho!”
Zhang Hao imdiately bowed his head.
Actually, how many n worldwide are truly honest?
Most single n are single because they are poor!!
If they were rich and powerful, being surrounded by lovers and having multiple wives wouldn’t be too many.
“Is there any point in all this talk?”
Wu Jie also lit a cigarette, took a drag, exhaled a smoke ring, and chuckled coldly:
“If you really wanted to settle down, sincerely reform, be a good wife and mother, treat Haizhu and his family well, I could give you a chance!”
“But what did you do?
Yesterday’s agreed terms, today a completely different story!”
“Your marriage scam today, all this boasting and deceiving, is truly disgusting to !”
Joy chuckled, “Look at their family now, if I told the truth, do you think they would genuinely accept ?
Having been with countless n, if I didn’t play my cards, could I ever marry him?”
Wu Jie glanced sideways.
Zhang Hao was one thing, but Zhang Yong and his wife looked as if they had swallowed flies, their expressions pained.
“Fine, at this point, you probably don’t even want the child anymore, just pay to have it aborted!”
“Don’t need much, just compensate with two hundred thousand!”
Joy stated bluntly.
Twenty million in dowry turned into two hundred thousand in compensation!
“What would it take for you to have the child?” Sun iyu suddenly asked.
Joy snorted coldly, “A year’s delay, plus I’d need to recover my figure after giving birth before I could return to earning a good price, at least two million, right?”
Wu Jie remained silent, took out his phone, and transferred twenty million to Zhang Hao.
“Xin’er is still waiting for downstairs, you guys chat!”
As he went downstairs, Tang Xin imdiately ca up to him.
“Jie, let’s go, Lin and I have already made plans!”
