Chapter 367 - The Mafia King Is 'almost' Scamd
Wei tried but couldn't calm down. Until he knew what was wrong with Lihua, he wouldn't be able to stay calm.
He paced back and forth in front of the washroom. "She is still not opening the door," his voice was laced in anxiousness.
Mingshen was puzzled. "Why are you with her anyway?"
Aren't those lovebirds already divorced now?
"Or maybe you are stalking her?" He sneered. "You are the worst, oh great Mafia King."
Wei's expression darkened, and a dangerous aura emanated from his deanor. "Yang Mingshen…" he threateningly said in a low voice. He wasn't in the mood for his jokes.
"Keep your threat to yourself. You wasted my ti for sothing that happens so commonly in pregnancy."
Wei blinked his eyes. "Commonly?"
"Morning sickness, you bastard. Either that or maybe she ate or slled sothing that caused the reaction."
Wei thought back to it.
"A waiter had passed by carrying a plate of chicken sandwiches."
"Yeah, that's it. The chicken sandwich is the culprit. Mystery solved. Transfer a hundred million in the next minute."
"But she was able to eat chicken before," Wei furrowed his brows.
Mingshen gritted his teeth. "It was BEFORE, idiot! This is NOW when she is pregnant. Pregnancy changes a lot of things in a woman's body. She might start to hate the food she loved before, or she might crave the food that she hated before. It's all a ga of hormones. In the initial days, she has to find out what she is comfortable eating and what causes reactions. Turns out a chicken sandwich does. For this long-ass explanation, I will charge another hundred."
"So Lihua is fine?" Wei finally started to feel relieved.
"Yes. A fifty million for my confirmation."
"And our baby too?"
"Yes. Another fifty."
He pursed his lips. "Are you sure there is no need for a checkup?"
"No. That will be another fifty."
Wei hesitated.
"So Mafia King, that will be a total of three hundred and fifty million. I hope your Maths hasn't deteriorated and made you dumber than before. If the divorce has caused so side effects in your intelligence, I will need you to beco my research subject. I expect the paynt in the next minute. And for fuck's sake, start reading pregnancy books!"
He unceremoniously hung up.
Lihua quietly opened the door and saw Wei's back facing her. She had faintly heard him panicking and asking questions to soone on the phone. She could imagine him pacing left and right in nervousness and confusion.
Lihua clenched her fist and felt her eyes tear up. His concern had always lted her heart because it would always remind her just how much he loved her.
Before he could see her, she wanted to leave. But then her glance fell upon his phone for a mont, and she saw him typing three hundred and fifty in so box.
On a closer look, she realized that it was a paynt app.
On another closer look, she found that the box was ant for putting the figure for money in it, supposedly in a million Yuans.
And on an even closer look, she saw the na of the person he was transferring the money to.
Yang Mingshen.
"..."
Her mouth heavily twitched, and her eyes popped out of her sockets.
W-why is he transferring three hundred and fifty million to Mingshen!? Is it a scam?
Wei felt her presence, and he imdiately turned. "Lihua!"
She stiffened.
I-I wanted to leave…
He held her shoulders and checked her from head to toe. "Are you alright? Are you feeling sick? Was it painful?"
She trembled.
"I am fine," she said without much emotion. "You don't need to be concerned about anymore."
He shivered.
"How can I not, Lihua? Even...even if we are divorced now, I will never stop caring about you. I cannot. You are the only one in mind every second of the day. You are asking sothing impossible."
She bit her lip hard. "Enough already. Let's not talk about it anymore…"
Lihua slowly lifted her gaze and hesitated. She had this imnse curiosity to know why Wei was transferring such a huge amount to Mingshen. Considering the past experience, she was sure that he must have scamd Wei.
But they were divorced now.
I don't need to think about Wei's money or how he spends it. He can do whatever he wants…
She took a step forward but stopped. But the thought of him getting conned of such an enormous amount…
She gritted her teeth in frustration and angrily faced him.
"I am only asking this because I have so principles, and I cannot see anybody being cheated, even if it's you!"
No matter what, it was his hard-earned money, and as a middle-class person, she felt her heart break to see such a huge amount getting wasted for no reason.
Wei tilted his head. He didn't understand what she was talking about.
"Cheated?"
"Yes. Why were you sending three hundred and fifty million to Mingshen?"
"Oh. I was worried that you suddenly felt sick, so I called Mingshen and asked him so questions. He told it's normal in pregnancy to have such reactions."
"So?"
"The money is the charge of his answers," Wei promptly said.
"..."
"And you agreed?" She asked, feeling stunned and speechless. "Three hundred and fifty million, and you agreed just like that?"
Wei blinked his eyes. "I shouldn't have?"
If it was related to Lihua and her safety, he was ready to sell all his assets if needed. Three hundred and fifty million was nothing.
Lihua could clearly see the question mark hovering over his head.
Lihua gnashed her jaw and snatched his phone. She angrily pressed a number and put the phone to her ear.
*Click*
"You fucking bastard! How dare you call again-"
"How dare you charge three hundred and fifty million?" Lihua coldly asked.
Silence.
"Are you a doctor or a scamr?"
No answer.
She smiled and changed her tone. "I guess I am quite lacking, or I would have known that such simple questions are so expensive in the market. But don't worry. I will transfer all the amount to your account. Now that Wei and I are separated, it's my responsibility for anything concerning my or my child's health. I hope you give so ti."
Wei widened his eyes. "You don't need to pay anything-"
Lihua shot him a glare, and he imdiately quietened down.
She narrowed her eyes.. "So, how much ti do you give , Mr. Yang?"
