Chapter 1028: 291 Yin Xueyang with trembling legs: Are you suffering from kidney deficiency, just this?_3

But the thought of his dad coming back soon quelled that idea in his heart.

As for future matters, they still required one step at a time.

…

Before long, Zheng Yiyun arrived.

On her way there, she felt that something was off about all pedestrians.

She feared it might be Pan Yunhu coming to seize her.

The very thought instilled panic in Zheng Yiyun, aware of Pan Yunhu’s ruthlessness and reckless actions.

Zheng Yiyun couldn’t imagine what it would be like if Pan Yunhu found her.

How he would treat her.

Not until she entered the private room and saw Li Zhiyan did Zheng Yiyun’s heart begin to relax.

Although she deeply loathed Li Zhiyan, when she was with him,

she couldn’t deny the substantial sense of security he provided.

She knew that even if Pan Yunhu were to come, Li Zhiyan would definitely protect her.

With this in mind, Zheng Yiyun’s feelings grew more complicated.

“Aunt Zheng, who would’ve thought you’d be taking taxis now? I still think you looked more dignified stepping out of a Porsche or a Mercedes.”

Zheng Yiyun managed to restrain her anger.

She knew that arguing with Li Zhiyan

would only serve to infuriate herself to death.

After all, Li Zhiyan was always so maddening.

Speaking with him required getting used to this.

“Let’s talk about the timber processing plant. Do you really want to buy it?”

Li Zhiyan invited Zheng Yiyun to sit down before saying: “Of course, Aunt Zheng, as you know.”

“I’m a man of my word, I won’t back out on a whim.”

This deal could increase his monthly income by a million.

So naturally, Li Zhiyan was intent on buying.

Zheng Yiyun didn’t speak, yet she agreed with him in her heart.

Though Li Zhiyan was extremely detestable,

his credibility was indeed impeccable…

Li Zhiyan had never gone back on his word.

“Then let’s talk price. How much are you willing to pay for the timber processing plant?”

The intention to purchase had already been agreed upon.

So the only contention now lay in the price.

Zheng Yiyun felt certain that Li Zhiyan sought to buy her timber processing plant at an extremely low price.

After all, a businessperson always puts profit first.

And she was no different in this respect.

“Aunt Zheng, what’s your target price?”

Zheng Yiyun didn’t respond, but it was clear Li Zhiyan had effortlessly ushered her into his control.

“Aunt Zheng, you must understand, our negotiation is not on equal terms.”

“You should know.”

“Under the current circumstances, I am the only one who can take over your timber processing plant.”

Zheng Yiyun knew he was speaking the truth. After a long while,

she said with a tinge of humiliation: “The factory’s rent still has a long way to go, plus those machines, I want to sell it for eight hundred thousand.”

The price was calculated by Zheng Yiyun.

A fair one indeed, very appropriate given the current reality.

However, Zheng Yiyun anticipated that Li Zhiyan would certainly bargain.

After all, that’s just how businesspeople are.

“Aunt Zheng, that is a good price indeed.”

Zheng Yiyun looked bewilderedly at Li Zhiyan; he didn’t try to bargain down?

“Eight hundred thousand, acceptable.”

Li Zhiyan agreed.

Zheng Yiyun was thoroughly surprised. Was the deal settled just like that?

Could it be that Li Zhiyan had another ulterior motive?

“However…”

Upon hearing these two words,

Zheng Yiyun inwardly uttered ‘as expected.’

There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Li Zhiyan must have other conditions in mind.

“But, I can offer Aunt Zheng two prices.”

“One is eight hundred thousand, the other, one million.”

Upon hearing about the extra two hundred thousand, Zheng Yiyun couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

Once, Zheng Yiyun would have scoffed at two hundred thousand,

but after luxurious living drifted away from her,

she realized the significant sum two hundred thousand was; now, she wouldn’t want to miss out on it for anything.

“One million, what do you want me to do?”

Zheng Yiyun eyed Li Zhiyan with a guarded look.

Li Zhiyan enjoyed humiliating her; perhaps he would demand that she kneel or something.

“Aunt Zheng, it’s simple, I’m a bit irritable today.”

“You come here and kneel.”

“Do that, and I’ll give you an extra two hundred thousand.”

Watching the soon-to-erupt Zheng Yiyun, Li Zhiyan continued: “Of course, if you feel it’s a hit to your dignity.”

“Then let’s close the deal at eight hundred thousand, no need to kneel.”

Li Zhiyan relished the feeling of tormenting Zheng Yiyun’s inner world.

He wanted to know whether the once supremely haughty materialistic Zheng Yiyun would kneel to him for the extra two hundred thousand.

In the past, there was no need to even consider it.

But now, that was far from certain.

Indeed, Zheng Yiyun didn’t immediately refuse; her eyes were filled with struggle.

She knew Li Zhiyan wouldn’t deceive her: just kneel, and she’d have two hundred thousand.

It was just kneeling; after all, similar things had happened before.

What’s the difference between once and many times?

But to kneel before a young man more than twenty years her junior, that was truly humiliating.

She used to be a wealthy lady with a fortune of hundreds of millions.

But now, she found herself reduced to such a state.
