Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Male Chauvinism
But no matter how enthusiastic Chen Jinlian was, Sang Luo remained indifferent.
She knew her mother all too well.
Unsolicited kindness is either treachery or theft!
“Luoluo, mommy knows she was wrong, won’t you give another chance? Please?” Chen Jinlian pleaded with a sincere face.
Sang Luo looked at her with a detached expression.
She didn’t believe that her mother could have had a change of heart overnight!
For many years, she had pleaded with her countless tis, but she never recognized her own mistakes, and now…
“Heh…” Sang Luo sneered coldly.
Chen Jinlian swallowed hard.
She was uncertain about Sang Luo’s attitude, given that this damned girl had completely slipped out of her control.
After all, she was even capable of saying she wanted to sever mother-daughter ties.
This damned girl, now that she has a backer, she thinks she can free herself from her? No way!
With a friendly yet slightly fearful look, Chen Jinlian said to Sang Luo, “Luoluo, mom really realizes her mistake this ti, I will change for sure. You know I only have you as a family mber now. If even you don’t want , then I might as well just die.”
After saying that, she lowered her head and began to cry.
“…”
Following that was Sang Luo’s cold and indifferent voice: “Okay, then go ahead and die. Rest assured, I will retrieve your body, and if I’m in a good mood, I might even arrange a morial service for you.”
Sitting beside her, Su He quietly watched.
She didn’t think Sang Luo’s words were too much, if possible, she even wanted to applaud, but decided to restrain herself.
Chen Jinlian looked at Sang Luo in disbelief, even forgetting to cry.
She never really intended to cry; it was just for show.
“You…” She hadn’t expected this damned girl’s heart to be so cold, to not even care about her life or death.
Sang Luo looked at her and said, “Ms. Chen, do you really have the heart to die? If you truly are ready, rest assured, I will not stop you.”
Sang Luo didn’t want to waste words with her. She took out the agreent and pushed it towards her.
“Sign this, and we won’t interfere with each other. The money, I will transfer to your account regularly,” she said.
Chen Jinlian, with her hands on her lap, clenched her fists tightly, hearing again what that man had told her not to conflict with this damned girl.
Alright, for the sake of money, she’ll endure!
She bit her lip, tears streaming down again, pitifully said: “Luoluo, do you really have the heart to not want your mom anymore?”
Sang Luo was indifferent to her tears.
These were crocodile tears; she couldn’t afford them.
Even if she committed suicide right in front of her, she might only call an ambulance with the number 120 if she felt like it.
Sang Luo: “I’ll give you five minutes to decide, to sign or not to sign.”
Ignoring her words, she acted as if she heard nothing, saying only what she wanted to say.
After speaking, she pulled out her phone and started timing.
She didn’t speak again, just leaned back in her chair, watching her quietly.
For a mont, Chen Jinlian was sowhat at a loss.
Then, Chen Jinlian said, “I… I need to go to the restroom.”
Sang Luo responded expressionlessly: “As you wish.”
After Chen Jinlian left, Su He finally spoke: “She’s not going to run away, is she?”
Sang Luo stated decisively: “No, she’s probably gone off to get reinforcents.”
Su He: “Reinforcents?”
Sang Luo smiled, but the smile was bittersweet: “I must not have told you, she t a man recently and got married on the spur of the mont.”
Su He was taken aback: “…”
It wasn’t that she looked down on Chen Jinlian, but would any man actually like a gambling-addicted woman?
Either it’s true love, or there are ulterior motives.
She had heard Sang Luo ntion her origins before, but she was puzzled why the Wen Family would drive them out. Was it just because Old Mr. Wen didn’t like them?
However, no matter what, Sang Luo still carries the Wen Family’s blood in her veins.
After all, even tigers do not eat their own cubs!
anwhile, after entering the restroom, Chen Jinlian took out her phone and dialed a number.
Soon, the call connected.
“Hello, Mr. Rong, this damned girl is utterly relentless, she seems determined this ti, what should I do?” Chen Jinlian asked anxiously.
As for dealing with Sang Luo, she was at a loss.
And with Su He by her side, she didn’t dare to act rashly.
She had seen what Su He was capable of.
That was another woman not to be ssed with.
The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a while before he said, “How much would she give you in a lump sum?”
Chen Jinlian said: “I don’t know, but last night, this damned girl said it can’t exceed her bottom line.”
“Mr. Rong, why not just take the lump sum? They’re only giving $1,600 a month, which isn’t even enough for one al for us.”
The man fell silent again; indeed, that amount of money was insignificant.
“Fine.”
“So how much should we ask for?”
“…”
When there was just one minute left out of the five-minute wait, Chen Jinlian ca back.
Sang Luo wasn’t surprised at all to see her return.
Chen Jinlian was not one to let go of any opportunity to demand money.
Sang Luo just looked at her, not saying a word, just staring at her.
After Chen Jinlian went to the restroom and ca back, she dropped the act.
With an indifferent look on her face, she got straight to the point: “The words you said yesterday still stand, right?”
“What words?” Sang Luo raised her eyebrows, feigning ignorance.
The mont Chen Jinlian heard her playing dumb, she beca anxious: “You said last night you could help repay my debts and also give a sum of money.”
“Heh…” Sang Luo laughed sarcastically, “What, having regrets now? Too bad, there’s no such thing as a pill for regret in this world.”
“Sang Luo, you ingrate!”
Enraged, Chen Jinlian slamd her hand on the table, imdiately stood up, and started cursing at Sang Luo.
“How can you go back on your word? I’m your mother, and you’re trying to sche against ; aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?”
“…”
Her yelling imdiately drew the attention of the other patrons around them.
But Sang Luo didn’t even blink.
She looked up at her, speaking in a nonchalant tone: “I gave you a chance, and you didn’t take it. Who can you bla? Besides, if you’re not afraid of being struck by lightning, why should I be?”
“…”
Chen Jinlian was so angry her pointing finger trembled.
“Sang Luo, aren’t you afraid of being back-stabbed?”
“Are you?” Sang Luo asked calmly in return.
No matter what she said, Sang Luo always managed to leave her speechless.
Chen Jinlian glanced at the spectators around her, her eyes darting.
Seeing her silent, Sang Luo said again, “If you want to make a scene and take a trip to the police station, I don’t mind. Go ahead and make a fuss.”
Sang Luo saw right through her thoughts.
In an instant, Chen Jinlian deflated, cowed.
Through gritted teeth, she demanded, “What exactly do you want?”
Sang Luo crossed her legs, one elbow resting on her knee, then pointed at the agreent in front of her.
Chen Jinlian, seeing the agreent, was fuming with rage.
She picked it up and, right in front of Sang Luo, tore it to shreds.
“I’ve torn it. Can’t sign it.” Chen Jinlian said.
Sang Luo looked on indifferently, “That’s alright, I can afford the printing costs.”
The implication was clear: go ahead and tear it up; I can always print it out again.
Chen Jinlian was left speechless with anger.
In the end, she clenched her jaw and said, “You pay off the debt for , and give five million more, and I’ll never co to you again.”
Hearing her outrageous demand, Sang Luo couldn’t help but laugh in mockery.
“Ms. Chen Jinlian, five million, you sure dare to dream big!”
The debts she owed were, to say the least, over a million. Adding those five million ant she was asking for over six million. How daring she was to think of such a figure.
Even if Su Zhimian could afford that kind of money, she didn’t want to give it to Chen Jinlian.
Chen Jinlian: “I don’t care, I want that much. Otherwise, we’ll just keep dragging this out. I don’t mind making a fuss at Su Family’s company entrance every day.”
Sang Luo, looking at her shaless behavior, could feel her anger boiling.
Just as Su He was about to speak, Sang Luo held her hand, signaling her not to say anything.
“I can help you repay the debt, but there’s no way you’re getting five million. One million, however, is negotiable.”
“One million? The Su Family is so rich, are you begging for food out there?”
“Yes, the Su Family is rich, but why should they give it to you?”
“At least I’m their mother-in-law, what’s wrong with giving so money to the mother-in-law?”
“…”
This ti, not only Sang Luo but also Su He beside her couldn’t help but snicker.
They had seen shaless people before, but never soone this utterly without sha.
Chen Jinlian acted as if everything she said was a divine right.
Finally speaking out, Su He said: “Ms. Chen, do you really think we run a charity at the Su Family?”
Chen Jinlian glanced over at her, a shiver going through her heart.
Su He’s gaze was icy to the extre, like a winter breeze chilling to the bone.
She then continued, “Even if the Su Family were a charity, they wouldn’t indulge your outrageous demands like this!”
Having said that, Su He stood up.
At 1.71 ters tall, her powerful aura intimidated Chen Jinlian significantly.
Chen Jinlian imdiately slumped back down onto her seat.
And the words that followed from Su He were just as chilling and frosty: “The choice was yours, you refused it. Now you’re overstepping, thinking either Sang Luo is easy to bully, or the Su Family is easy to push around? You demand five million just like that? Do you think you can handle that sum?”
“…”
Sang Luo was also startled by her imposing manner.
“Chen Jinlian, I’m giving you one last chance. Either sign this agreent and obediently accept the $1,600 every month, or take $500,000 and get out of our sight forever!”
Chen Jinlian’s eyes bulged when she heard $500,000.
From $5,000,000 to $1,000,000, and then cut in half to $500,000.
No matter how she calculated it, she was at a huge loss!
Su He did not give her any chance to retort.
She said sternly, “Do you want it or not?”
Chen Jinlian, trembling with fear, remained seated motionless.
She looked at Sang Luo.
Sang Luo turned her head away, not even willing to take a glance.
“I want $1,000,000. I will never co to disturb you again,” Chen Jinlian said hastily.
Su He looked at her with narrowed eyes and remained silent.
Imdiately, Chen Jinlian raised her hand and swore, “I swear, if I ever co to harass you again, I deserve to die miserably.”
Su He said, “Good, that’s your word.”
Then, Su He took out another agreent from a bag beside her.
“Sign this, and the money will be transferred to you imdiately,” Su He stated.
Chen Jinlian didn’t even look at it before picking up a pen, flipping to the last page, and signing her na.
Because she was worried that if she hesitated any longer, she wouldn’t even get the $1,000,000.
While she was signing, Su He and Sang Luo exchanged glances.
“Ms. Chen, aren’t you going to read it first?” Sang Luo kindly reminded her.
Unfortunately, Chen Jinlian’s eyes were only on the money, completely ignoring her words.
They prepared two agreents because Sang Luo knew that Chen Jinlian would not obediently sign the one that offered her $1,600 a month.
“I… I’ve signed it.”
After signing, Chen Jinlian handed the agreent to Su He.
People like her are the type who bully the weak and fear the strong.
Su He took it and gave it a glance.
“Alright.”
“Then… When do I get the money?”
Su He glanced at her, “It’ll be in your account in half an hour.”
After saying this, she turned to Sang Luo and said, “Let’s go.”
Sang Luo responded affirmatively.
Then, the two left.
Once in the car, Su He handed the agreent that Chen Jinlian had just signed to Sang Luo.
“With this, she will no longer co to bother you in the future, so don’t worry,” she said.
The agreent was drafted last night with the help of Wan Muqi.
It was fully legally binding.
Sang Luo didn’t know how to thank her.
The show today was indeed a collaboration between the two of them.
Sang Luo knew that Chen Jinlian would not obediently sign the agreent which only gave her $1,600 a month.
Therefore, she sought Su He’s help last night.
And this was the strategy Su He had suggested.
As Sang Luo was about to express her thanks, Su He interrupted, “Hey, don’t be in a hurry to thank yet. If you really want to thank , you and my brother should hurry up and have a second child, diverting the grandparents’ attention away from —that would be the best repaynt.”
Sang Luo: “…”
It’s not like she could just have a child because it was ntioned.
Half an hour later, Chen Jinlian only received $100,000.
She was so angry that she imdiately called Sang Luo.
Sang Luo also quickly answered.
“You damn girl, where’s the promised million? Why is there only a hundred thousand?”
Sang Luo said very calmly, “Ms. Chen, didn’t you read the agreent?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinlian felt a sudden sinking feeling inside, “What do you an?”
Sang Luo explained with patience, “This $1,000,000, I will transfer it to you in installnts every month.”
Chen Jinlian was so angered that she nearly spat blood.
“Additionally, you don’t need to co to causing a scene. Because if you do, I won’t have to give you the remaining $900,000. You agreed to this yourself, it’s all clearly written in the agreent.”
“You damn girl, are you scamming ?!”
“I’m not. I reminded you, but you chose not to look. You can’t bla anyone else.”
“…”
Saying this, she directly hung up the phone and also blacklisted Chen Jinlian’s number.
On the other end of the phone, the infuriated Chen Jinlian listened to the “beep beep beep” sound, nearly going mad with anger!
*
University A.
An Mi returned to school the day after attending the wedding.
That afternoon, she and Chen Jin had just co out of the comprehensive building.
They had barely taken a few steps when soone suddenly darted out from the side.
“Ah!”
Chen Jin was startled and imdiately clung to An Mi.
An Mi was startled by her scream.
When the two saw that the people who ca were Ye Xuan and the others, they were speechless.
Chen Jin frowned and said, “What, you’ve got nothing better to do than to co here and scare people?”
After she finished speaking, she took An Mi and walked around.
Ye Xuan had already beco a plague in her eyes!
Seeing him, it was best to walk around him, such bad luck!
If it weren’t for him, An Mi wouldn’t have had to go through that ordeal before!
“Wait.” Huang Jie reached out to stop them.
Chen Jin glared at him: “Huang Jie, don’t tell you’ve fallen in with him too?”
“He” naturally referred to Ye Xuan.
Huang Jie was still sowhat afraid of Chen Jin; after all, when she got angry, she was genuinely fierce.
He swallowed and then, while she wasn’t paying attention, yanked her away from An Mi.
“Huang Jie, have you lost your mind? Why are you pulling ?” Chen Jin yelled loudly.
However, the next second, Ye Xuan had positioned himself in front of An Mi, and he had also taken out a bunch of roses from behind.
An Mi looked at the bouquet, her brows were tight, and her face was looking very bad.
Ye Xuan said, “An Mi, I want to make a formal confession to you.”
His voice was not loud, but just loud enough to attract passersby.
As he took out the flowers, he had already drawn the attention of many people.
Then, he knelt on one knee in front of An Mi.
Imdiately after, the crowd around started to instigate.
“Wow… say yes to him! Say yes to him!”
“…”
An Mi’s fair face was instantly covered with a layer of frost.
But Ye Xuan was imrsed in his carefully prepared confession, completely ignoring it.
“An Mi, from the first mont I saw you, I fell for you. Every fra of your smile has burrowed into my heart, making the calm lake of my heart unable to find peace again. Your kindness, your intelligence, everything moves . For this lifeti, my only wish is to enter the garden of your heart. Will you give this chance?”
After speaking, he took out a gift box.
The crowd saw the logo of the gift box; it was Bvlgari jewelry.
An Mi stood there, looking at him with an indifferent expression.
And on the third floor corridor of the comprehensive building stood a tall and straight figure.
From this angle, the man could see everything that was happening downstairs.
Long, articulate fingers pushed up his glasses, and the eyes hidden behind the lenses were radiating a chilling coldness at this mont.
“Ye Xuan, are you sick?”
This sentence was said by Chen Jin.
If Huang Jie hadn’t been holding her back, preventing her from getting away, she would have gone up and given him a kick!
An Mi’s cool glance swept over the gift in his hand, then she said, “Ye Xuan, I thought I made myself clear before!”
Ye Xuan said, “But we’ve never tried, how do you know we’re not suitable?”
An Mi hooked the corner of her mouth, and sneered, “Because you’re just not my type, so there’s no need to try!”
“So, you like older n?” Ye Xuan countered.
“What I like is none of your business, you’re not my dad, can you control it?”
“I hope this is the last ti!” An Mi said coldly.
Having said that, she turned around and left.
But Ye Xuan suddenly stood up and shouted, “An Mi, you’re just a gold-digger, you like wealthy old n, right?”
An Mi paused, then turned back to look at him.
Ye Xuan went on to say, “Isn’t it because I don’t have money that you won’t agree?”
An Mi frowned; she really didn’t want to bother with this brainless man.
And the students watching began whispering among themselves as soon as Ye Xuan finished speaking, expressing various opinions.
Chen Jin was furious and couldn’t hold back. She lifted her foot and stomped hard on Huang Jie, and only then did he let go of her.
She rushed in front of Ye Xuan, lifted her leg, and gave his shin a rciless kick.
Ye Xuan almost didn’t stay upright.
He glared at Chen Jin.
But Chen Jin was not afraid of him.
“What are you glaring at, never seen a beauty before?” Chen Jin, fuming with anger, hands on hips, started to berate: “Ye Xuan, if you have a sickness in your head, go see a doctor. Don’t spend every day following our Mimi around like a pervert! You have the right to confess, but our Mimi has the right to refuse! Don’t be such a hypocrite; when soone rejects you, you start slandering them! What, if soone rejects your confession, they’re gold-digging? Is this how you behave as a person? Huh! With soone like you, who’d want to date you, so arrogant and chauvinistic!”
Ye Xuan’s face almost turned the color of a liver due to her scolding: “…”
Moreover, after Chen Jin finished speaking, the female students watching were very much in agreent with her.
An Mi, not wanting to make a scene, had no choice but to pull her away.
“No, really, Mimi, don’t pull , I’m not done scolding him yet!”
