Chapter 368 – The Mafia King Doesn’t Mind Being Scammed
Mingshen sneered. "Heh. So your husband- oops I am sorry. You are divorced now. You are not his sweet wife anymore. He is not your darling husband anymore. My bad."
Lihua squinted her gaze.
"I mean to say that did your 'ex-husband' get afraid of emptying his pockets that he asked you to get rid of it?"
"I think you know better than anyone that he is loaded in cash. You two are filthy rich."
"Yeah, so what's the problem in sending my paycheck?" He lazily asked.
"The amount is abnormal."
"So is the doctor. He asked Yang Mingshen. I am the greatest doctor on this planet. Do you think I am cheap?"
Lihua smiled. "Indeed. I understand it very well now. After all the things you have done for money are…"
She left it unsaid, but it obviously pointed out how he helped Wei in erasing her memories.
"Anyway. So this three hundred and fifty million is added in the debt for taking care of me in your lab. Can you please give me some time to return the money?"
Mingshen gritted his teeth. "It has got nothing to do with you! Wei asked me the questions, so he will pay for it!"
"It was an error from his side. He shouldn't have asked anything because we don't have anything to do with each other anymore."
Wei clenched his jaw as his gaze dimmed.
"So I will pay everything related to my child."
"And how long will I have to wait for that? Till I turn ninety and I am on my deathbed?" He dryly said.
Lihua pursed her lips. "I will pay in installments."
"If your brain wasn't just a decoration, then I would have had some hope in you for my money."
If Mingshen had been present in front of her, Lihua would have surely strangled him. But she controlled her urge to curse him.
"I will work hard-"
"Oh shut up! Fuck it. Forget about the three-fifty! I let it go as my compensation for colluding with your ex-husband! You are a miser now that you left the Jiang family. Use your brain and money for your child, rather than doing useless things. Also from next time, I don't care who asks the question or who is not supposed to. If your ex-husband bothers me, then he will have to pay for my time. I am not going to tolerate your interference, got it!?"
Once again, Mingshen unceremoniously hung up.
Lihua heaved a sigh of relief.
At least my emotional blackmail plan worked…
She saw Wei, who was patiently waiting for her. She handed him back the phone.
"From now on, don't pay any money to Mingshen! Why don't you realize that he is scamming you!?" Her nostrils flared. "Three hundred and fifty million isn't a joke! Don't you feel it's wrong to charge so much for a few questions!?"
Wei pursed his lips. "I think I know that he is taking advantage."
She stared at him, stunned. "Then why!"
"Because he is the best doctor. He might be unreasonable, but his skills are top-notch and unquestionable. I can only trust him. If it's anything related to you, then I don't care about the amount he is charging. I only want what's best for you. I don't mind being scammed," he seriously said.
She stiffened. She coldly stared at him. "I already said that you don't need to be concerned anymore. This was the first and the last time that we met."
"B-But you still care about me, don't you? That's why you fought with Mingshen."
She scowled. "I only fought with him because it is against my principles to see something unethical happening! I understand the value of money. That's why I cannot see it getting wasted. It's not because I care about you. Why would I when you have ruined everything for me!?"
He said nothing.
She walked away, and he couldn't help but say, "I-I will drop you home!"
Even if it was for sometime, he wanted to stay with her as long as possible. "What if you get dizzy and faint again? It's not safe," he anxiously said.
"I will be fine. I already told you not to think about me anymore. Please don't make things difficult for me, Wei."
He trembled.
Difficult…
Outside the cafe, Lihua stepped and finally let out the breath she had been holding for so long.
It was the last time…I won't meet him again, she tried to calm herself.
She stopped a cab and went away.
—
She shut the door behind her and quickly headed to the washroom. She splashed cold water on her face and felt some relief.
I cannot go on like this…
It was just the first day after their divorce, and she was already finding it difficult to not think about him. She was frightened that if this went on, she would never be able to forget him and inadvertently hurt Jia too.
She dazedly stepped out. Bobo, who was patiently waiting for her, hugged her legs. "Where did you go so early in the morning?"
She weakly smiled. "For a walk…"
"Don't lie," he narrowed his eyes. "You went to meet the rich evil capitalist?"
She pursed her lips. "I am sorry. But I had an important thing to tell him…"
He shook his head. "Don't say sorry. I just don't want to see you sad!"
Lihua smiled and kneeled at his level. "Thank you, Bobo," she kissed his cheek.
He coughed and slightly blushed. "O-of course! Also, if you stay like this, you will only think about that capitalist!"
Lihua lowered her head.
Bobo blinked his eyes. "Why don't you call your friend? The one who is as dumb as you. Sis Yaya. She still doesn't know that you are back."
She widened her eyes.
Yaya…
But she remembered how she was captured by Wei when she had tried to tell her the truth. She didn't even know if her best friend was alive or not.
No! She is still alive! We-Wei wouldn't go that far.
Lihua didn't know if calling her on her old phone number would still work or not, but she wanted to try once.
She nervously dialed her number. It kept on ringing and ringing, but nobody picked it. Her heart skipped several beats.
Is she…
Suddenly, she heard a click sound.
"Hello?"
