Chapter 899: 899: Threatened

“That’s too much! I only want to meet with my daughter, and you want 10 million from me! You’re dreaming!” Cheng Shuyu was enraged by the price Mother Bai was asking for.

“Give me 10 million, and I will even have you get what you need from your daughter. Otherwise, you will not be able to meet her.”

“Two million. That’s all I have.”

“Ah Qing, get her out of here.”

One of the bodyguards walked toward Cheng Shuyu and showed her the way out.

Cheng Shuyu glared at Mother Bai and took one step back, “Five million. I don’t have much left. If that isn’t enough, there’s nothing I can do. After all, I don’t have much money, and I’m only getting the 5 million from my other daughter.”

Mother Bai knew about the relationship between Di Anran and Cheng Shuyu. She paused for a moment before saying, “Pay me first before you go in.”

Cheng Shuyu glared at her before making a call to Di Anran.

When Di Anran answered the call, she gave Cheng Shuyu a good lecture, criticizing how she couldn’t get something done.

But, when she thought of how the value of that plot of land would appreciate in the future, Di Anran still convinced herself and gave Cheng Shuyu an additional 4 million.

Cheng Shuyu immediately passed it to Mother Bai.

Mother Bai immediately got one of their men to bring Jing Lu after receiving the money.

Jing Lu thought that Cheng Shuyu was there to visit her. Although Cheng Shuyu’s words hurt her badly the last time, it was still better than her life here in the Bai mansion. She was living like an animal. Hence, she was still glad that Cheng Shuyu came to see her.

“Mum…..huhuhuhuhu…”

Jing Lu immediately burst into tears when she saw Cheng Shuyu. All she did was just cry, and she didn’t even say a single thing about the Bai family.

Cheng Shuyu felt her heart breaking into pieces because of how Jing Lu was crying.

The bodyguards brought Jing Lu into one of the rooms, and Mother Bai even prepared a glass of warm milk for Jing Lu.

Since she was addicted to drugs, Jing Lu had already lost her appetite. Thus, she lost a lot of weight as well. She was really now a dying, wilting white flower. When she caught the sweet scent coming from the milk, Jing Lu gulped and immediately rushed toward the glass. She finished it in just one gulp.

But…there wasn’t much milk inside the glass.

The amount wasn’t enough to satisfy Jing Lu. Instead, it triggered her addiction to more drugs.

“Mum….didn’t you say that my sister is great? Please get her to come and save me! I already thought about it. If she can find me the cure and save me, I will give her half the land! What do you think?”

Cheng Shuyu had no other choice but to lie when her daughter was in such a state.

“Xiao Lu, listen closely. This is extremely important. Your sister wouldn’t want to take money from you. She only wanted that piece of land so that she could prove her abilities to her great grandfather. That’s all she wants. Once she gets the money, she will return everything to you including the profits. She will only take away the money that she invested in developing that piece of land.

Jing Lu gave a cold laugh and asked, “Do you take me for a fool?! If she didn’t care about money, why didn’t she buy another piece of land and develop it on her own to prove her abilities to her great grandfather?”

Cheng Shuyu shook her head. “That’s not it. Her great grandfather isn’t from Country Z, so he has no idea that the value of the piece of land would increase. She only wants to prove to her great grandfather that she has good judgment and the piece of land that she picked would bring her wealth.”

However, Jing Lu was not convinced, “You’re just here to persuade me and get me to pass her that land, aren’t you? I will never pass it to her even if I die. She can just forget about it.”
