Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2210: How Ruthless

“Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. If you’re still having such thoughts, sorry. Although this is a difficult thing to do, it is five million yuan, after all. A lot of people would be willing to help me. I’ve said this before. I don’t like to force others for help. The other party has to be a willing party as well.”

Wang Yang was too overbearing, and five million yuan was too tempting. How would someone like Qiao Zijin be a match for Wang Yang? After Wang Yang’s attitude hardened, Qiao Zijin could only soften. “Alright, five million yuan then. Indeed, it’s not a small sum.” Wang Yang obviously wanted to do something to Qiao Nan so that she couldn’t successfully inherit everything from the Zhu family.

As such, if she operated this matter alone, she wouldn’t be able to receive five million yuan. She could obtain five million yuan from Wang Yang. If she controlled the situation well, she might even be able to get another five million yuan or more from Qiao Nan. Pooling together both sums of money, she would receive more than ten million yuan.

Even if she relied on her own capabilities for a few lifetimes, she wouldn’t be able to earn ten million yuan, let alone this lifetime.

Upon thinking about the illusory ten million yuan, Qiao Zijin became excited. The blood in her veins surged and she was eager to try. “I can agree to this and help you. However, if I really succeed and you want to go back on your words, what should I do?” Verbal promises were recognized by law as well.

However, at this point in time, there was only Wang Yang before her. If Wang Yang really went back on his words, who else could prove that he had promised her five million yuan? If Wang Yang happily received all the inheritance from the Zhu family but didn’t give her five million yuan, wouldn’t be she on the losing end?

Wang Yang looked at Qiao Zijin in disdain. “Don’t judge others by oneself. I’m not you. Five million yuan sounds like a lot but I won’t go back on my words. Just like before, if you believe me, go and do it. If you succeed, I will naturally give you a card with five million yuan in it. If you don’t…”

Wang Yang thought about it and took out five thousand yuan from his bag. “If you fail, you don’t have to think about five million yuan. You can treat this five thousand yuan as your fee for running errands. Of course, if you’re that capable and succeed in this matter, this five thousand yuan wouldn’t be counted in the five million yuan. Treat this as your taxi fare.”

“Alright!” Qiao Zijin’s eyes shone when she saw the stack of hundred yuan notes. Compared to five million yuan, Qiao Zijin was naturally dissatisfied upon receiving five thousand yuan. However, upon thinking that she hadn’t done anything yet, she felt that she had earned five thousand yuan for nothing. The feeling of imbalance and unhappiness in her heart disappeared. “Okay, I believe you.”

She already knew that this man was called Wang Yang. She could search on the internet or ask someone about the specific situation between Wang Yang and the Zhu family. The monk can run away, but the temple won’t run with him. It was a fact that Wang Yang came to look for her today. If Wang Yang dared to go back on his words, she would dare to expose the matter today so that his reputation would be ruined. She didn’t believe that a person like Wang Yang would only want money but not face.

After all, she had been Chen Jun’s wife for more than ten years. She still had a fair sense of judgment. She could feel that Wang Yang was someone similar to Chen Jun. He wanted money but wanted face even more. To be entangled by someone like her for going back on his words on the five million yuan was definitely not something Wang Yang wanted to see.

As such, once she succeeded in this matter, Qiao Zijin wasn’t afraid that Wang Yang would go back on his words.

After putting the five thousand yuan into her bag happily, Qiao Zijin slowly tasted her cup of coffee. When Wang Yang was placing an order just now, she saw that this small cup of coffee cost around two hundred yuan. It would be too wasteful if she didn’t finish drinking it, even if she didn’t need to pay for this cup of coffee.

“Where did you go?” When Qiao Zijin returned home, Qiao Dongliang was around as well. Seeing that Qiao Zijin was busy in the capital every day, Qiao Dongliang’s looks turned uglier by the day. “Today is the triplets’ full-month celebration. I’ve already bought the air ticket to return to Ping Cheng tomorrow. The Zhai family will take back this house tomorrow as well. It’s up to you if you want to leave or not. You can figure out where to live afterward.” Qiao Dongliang had already reached his limit of tolerance.

He had finally waited until the day that the triplets celebrated their full month. Qiao Dongliang knew that it was time for him to leave. How would he be willing to buy the air ticket back to Ping Cheng? Zhai Sheng had bought it for him immediately after confirming that he was leaving tomorrow. This was so that Qiao Dongliang could spend less time on transport and wouldn’t be too tired.

It was his son-in-law’s good intentions, after all. Qiao Dongliang naturally wouldn’t reject it. When Zhai Sheng was buying an air ticket for him, he didn’t even mention if Qiao Zijin was returning with him. It was as if he had forgotten about Qiao Zijin’s existence. Qiao Dongliang had long considered this issue. It wasn’t that he couldn’t bear for the Zhai family to buy an air ticket for Qiao Zijin. Based on Qiao Zijin’s character, it was nothing if she took this air ticket and returned to Ping Cheng together with him. He was just unhappy and afraid that Qiao Zijin would refund this air ticket and use the refunded money to continue living in the capital to create trouble for Qiao Nan. That would be too overboard.

Qiao Zijin had a lot of ideas. Even if Qiao Dongliang was her father, he wasn’t willing to get involved in her matters. However, he was going to leave tomorrow. This house would be taken back as well. Qiao Dongliang felt that he should still share some information with Qiao Zijin. “Oh, right. After I leave, the water, electricity, and gas supply of this house should be cut off as well.”

In today’s society, it was nothing to not have gas. However, if there wasn’t water or electricity, was this an environment where people could live in? A person afraid of the dark wouldn’t be able to stay for a night, let alone for a long period of time.

This was also one of the last ways to stop Qiao Zijin’s stubbornness for wanting to stay in the capital.

Qiao Zijin’s face changed. She didn’t expect her father and Qiao Nan to be so ‘ruthless’. Knowing that she was going to continue living in the capital, they didn’t allow her to stay in this house. It was fine that they were going to take the house back. They even wanted to stop the water, electricity, and gas supplies to force her out of this house and find somewhere else to stay.

Qiao Zijin took a deep breath and didn’t dare to kick up a fuss at this time. After doing this multiple times, Qiao Zijin naturally understood that such a tactic wouldn’t lead to Qiao Dongliang compromising. “Dad, help me talk to Nan Nan. I haven’t found a place to stay. Tell her to give me one—no, three more months. Just three more months. After three months, regardless of whether I return to Ping Cheng or stay in the capital, she can take this house back.”
