As a rich second-generation heir, Zhou Jinxiu spent his days indulging in extravagant pleasures, what kind of world had he not seen?
Even as a wreck, the moment he saw this thing, he recognized it instantly.
Seeing his expression clearly indicated he recognized the item, Jiang Nanfang thought: The brother and sister are indeed cut from the same cloth, not a single good one among them!
“A gift from Miss Zhou, Mr. Zhou.”
Realizing this woman wasn’t here to deliver a package at all, Zhou Jinxiu’s face darkened instantly: “Who are you? Where did this thing come from? What do you mean?”
Jiang Nanfang retracted her hand, extended her right index finger, and hooked her sunglasses down, returning Zhou Jinxiu’s displeased gaze.
“Who I am is not important, what’s important is where this thing came from.”
“Mr. Zhou, if I’m not mistaken, Miss Zhou Jinbei is your biological sister, only 20 years old this year. Does a 20-year-old girl understand how to use such means to harm others? Don’t you think your family’s upbringing is a bit too lax?”
Zhou Jinxiu’s expression grew uglier, and he reached out to snatch the item from her hand, but Jiang Nanfang dodged slightly.
He said coldly, “Zhou Jinbei used this thing on you? You dare to come to my door to extort me, you have quite the nerve.”
Jiang Nanfang sneered, “I believe I am doing a good deed, helping her find her way back. Mr. Zhou, you wouldn’t be so protective that you don’t even have the heart to go back and confirm with her, would you? To watch your sister go down the wrong path and turn a blind eye, is your family’s upbringing really that loose?”
It didn’t matter how men played outside, but if the women of their own family were involved with such things, they absolutely could not tolerate it.
Especially since Zhou Jinbei was so young, what if she was led astray and went down the wrong path?
Zhou Jinxiu was so angry he wanted to call her a pig’s head and swore he wouldn’t let her off when he got back, but he couldn’t show it on his face: “Get to the point. What do you want to extort?”
As expected of a rich young master, ready to pay for his sister’s mistakes before even investigating.
What to extort? With such a condescending attitude, if Jiang Nanfang didn’t ask him for something, it would almost be an insult.
“Young Master Zhou has extensive experience and is certainly knowledgeable in this area. I won’t say it, you decide.”
“I think it’s more appropriate to discuss this tonight.”
Coming to extort money, he had never encountered such a brazen and ignorant woman in his many years of navigating the world as Zhou Jinxiu.
If he casually handed over money to anyone who showed up at his door, what would happen if it got out in their social circles? He would never have any peace!
Those who knew him would see Zhou Jinxiu as handsome and kind-hearted, while those who didn’t would think he was an easy mark. How could he have a peaceful life in the future?
“I’m busy now. I’ll tell you a place, you come there tonight, and I’ll give you whatever you want. We’ll sit down and resolve this properly.”
Jiang Nanfang was almost amused by his evasive words. Busy now, resolve it tonight? Whatever she wanted?
Did he think she was an idiot and planned to take advantage of her tonight?
Did he think his few dollars could trample on someone’s dignity?
She had initially intended to speak with him properly.
“The number you just called was mine. Transferring money to this number via Alipay only takes a minute or two. Young Master Zhou is very busy, so I won’t delay your precious evening. Right now, once you transfer it, I’ll leave.”
Hmph, this woman. He had thought she was ignorant of the consequences earlier, but now it seemed she was also reckless.
Her mouth was wide open, thinking she could get money from him with just a few words. What did she take him for, Zhou Jinxiu?
“I didn’t bring my phone. If you say that, Miss, it means you don’t trust me.”
“Indeed. We are not related, so it’s hard for you to trust me.”
At this point, Jiang Nanfang had no intention of wasting any more words with him. She took out her phone and took a picture of him as he was.
“You don’t trust me and have no intention of resolving this with me, so I can only report it to the authorities. I will file a real-name report against Zhou Jinbei for illegally possessing this item, and for infringing on my personal rights. I wonder if the Zhou family will make the news if this gets out.”
“You…”
“Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am an employee of Zhan Corporation and also a self-media video blogger. If I report this and then make a video about it, coupled with the big name of Zhan Corporation, it’ll be hard not to become popular, right?”
“……” Zhou Jinxiu stood there watching her, his face growing colder and colder. After half a minute, he turned and walked back into the house.
“I’ll go get my phone. Wait here.”
He left with a smiling face, but returned with a face as dark as a pig’s liver.
Zhou Jinbei, unaware of what had happened, excitedly ran out from the hall to greet him: “The housekeeper said you went out to get a package. What good stuff is it? Who sent it to you? Quick, let me see!”
Zhou Jinxiu stopped in his tracks, giving her a cold glare: “You sent it to me. Zhou Jinbei, your courage is growing. You dare to play with what you should and shouldn’t, be careful you don’t get into trouble and get your legs broken by Old Zhou!”
A moment later, he came down wearing white clothes and black pants. Jiang Nanfang was still waiting by the taxi.
He walked over: “Have you thought about it? How much do you want to extort?”
Jiang Nanfang crossed her arms and looked at him: “Please mind your wording. Your sister provoked me for no reason. As a victim…”
“Alright, alright, stop the nonsense. How much for emotional distress? I’ll give it.”
What an attitude! She had just wanted to seek justice and hadn’t intended to ask for a single cent, but now…
Jiang Nanfang parted her red lips: “One million.”
The driver, who was drinking water in the car, was startled: “Cough, cough, cough…”
Zhou Jinxiu’s gaze became playful as he looked at her again, appraising her from head to toe: “One million for one night, you’re quite valuable?”
“I’m not valuable, your sister’s future and the Zhou family’s reputation are valuable. Actually, you should think I’m asking for too little. Being insulted, your Zhou family’s reputation is worth far more than this.”
“……”
“Don’t think about hiring a lawyer afterwards to sue me for extortion. I’ll take the money, but it won’t go into my pocket.”
She took out her phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Zhou Jinxiu.
“Transfer it to this children’s relief fund. Quickly, I’m about to lose my patience.”
Zhan Beijue arrived at the company and received a call from Lu Mingzhe before he even entered his office.
“I have something to tell you. I’ve been waiting in the lounge for over ten minutes, are you coming today or not?”
“Old Zhan, I found something good for you. You have to thank me properly this time.”
Soon, the two met at the office entrance.
Zhan Beijue gave him a faint glance and entered the office: “What good thing is worth you running over here so early to boast?”
“Hehe. Look.” Ah Zhong didn’t follow them in; there were only the two of them in the office. He peeled off the paper cover of the book and held it out to Zhan Beijue.
“This book is specifically for your condition. I’ve read it, and the content is very effective. As long as you try what’s in it, I guarantee you’ll be cured in no time.”
Saying it so exaggeratedly, Zhan Beijue lowered his eyes and glanced at the cover.
It turned out to be a certain ‘Illustrated Classic’ left from some dynasty, with a dazzling and eye-catching cover, a double visual impact, the kind that makes one blush and feel their heart race…
