Chapter 473: 131: Zheng Xianjing Seeks Out Fuwa Father and Son_5
“Sun Dalian has abandoned her husband and child and remarried under a false identity. You guys are struggling to make ends meet, while she lives a lavish life. Don’t you, as her husband, feel anything about it?”
At this point, Zheng Xianjing pausing, said: “I can help you now. Shall I help you find Sun Dalian?”
“Help us?” Zhou Tianbao laughed, “Don’t you mean exploit us?”
“Look at what you’re saying. I kindly offered to take you to see Sun Dalian. It’s one thing if you’re ungrateful, but to claim I’m using you! Aren’t you unappreciative?” At her last comment, Zheng Xianjing put more emphasis on her tone.
Zhou Tianbao in his nonchalant manner, said: “We appreciate your kind intentions, but we don’t need your help!”
“You’ll regret it!” retorted Zheng Xianjing, “you’re missing a golden opportunity.”
Zhou Tianbao remained resolute, “Rest assured, I won’t regret it!”
Zheng Xianjing felt disconcerted.
She hadn’t expected Zhou Tianbao to have such an attitude.
If Zhou Tianbao doesn’t want to find Li Xianxian, then her entire effort to find Li Xianxian would be in vain.
Mrs. Mo and Baichuan wouldn’t trust her word alone.
What now?
Zheng Xianjing frowned, “Why are you like this? I’m here to help you, and you’re not grateful.”
“You want to use us to deal with Sun Dalian, don’t you? Use us as cannon fodder, right?”
When confronted with Zhou Tianbao’s accurate guess, Zheng Xianjing felt a bit awkward.
Originally, she had planned to take Zhou Tianbao and Fuwa to see Li Xianxian, hoping that Li Xianxian would reveal her true colors in front of Mo family members and kill two birds with one stone, but Zhou Tianbao was uncooperative.
What was so good about Li Xianxian? She abandoned her husband and child, yet Zhou Tianbao was defending her!
“So, what do you want?” asked Zheng Xianjing.
“If you want us to help you, fine.” Zhou Tianbao turned to Zheng Xianjing, “But I have a requirement.”
A requirement?
She takes Zhou Tianbao to find Li Xianxian and he sets conditions!
Wasn’t that going too far?
“You have to realize that I’m helping you.” Zheng Xianjing’s face darkened.
Zhou Tianbao said: “You also need to understand that we don’t need your help!”
Zheng Xianjing took a deep breath, “Speak.”
“As compensation, we want ten thousand yuan. We, father and son, will then fully comply.”
That’s a lot of money!
Zhou Tianbao’s heart was racing as he spoke.
Would Zheng Xianjing agree to his conditions?
Ten thousand yuan?
With the thirty thousand yuan Mo’s man asked for, that would total forty thousand yuan!
Zheng Xianjing started to suspect that this was all a trap orchestrated by Mr. Mo.
“Don’t push your luck!” said Zheng Xianjing, her face darkening.
Zhou Tianbao confidently said: “Whether you are willing to pay is up to you. I won’t force it.”
“The most I can give is one thousand!” Zheng Xianjing gritted her teeth.
“The door’s over there.” Zhou Tianbao pointed toward the exit.
Zheng Xianjing took a deep breath, “Two thousand!”
Zhou Tianbao stood firm, “Not a penny less.”
“Insatiable!”
Zhou Tianbao responded, “You should know whether this ten thousand yuan is worth it.”
Indeed, his words hit Zheng Xianjing where it hurt.
If she could ruin Li Xianxian completely with ten thousand yuan, it would be worth it!
Moreover, she’d already spent thirty thousand yuan. Could she really turn back for just ten thousand yuan?
Zheng Xianjing remained silent for a while then said: “Fine, ten thousand it is! I’ll give you every penny once it’s done, but for now, you need to follow my instructions.”
“Payment first, work later,” Zhou Tianbao said.
“Do you think I might cheat you out of your money?”
“Possibly.”
