Chapter 116 Demanding Five Hundred Thousand
Elder Madam Liu’s eyes flickered with disgust when she heard Liu Ran’s question.
She looked coldly at Liu Ran and said, “Why do I hate you? Do you know why? It’s because you’re just like your lame father; both of you are ungrateful wretches.”
“Think about it, you could have easily soared to become a phoenix on a high branch, and our Liu family could have become a prominent family in Qingzhou City through you. Back then, Bai Lei Tian, the young master of the Bai family, was so devoted to you, but you refused!”
“No matter how much we reasoned with you, you refused to go with the Bai family’s young master, so all the suffering you’re enduring now is entirely your own doing.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Ran clenched her fists in anger. She said to Elder Madam Liu, “Grandmother, it’s not like you say at all. That eldest young master of the Bai family is a notorious playboy. And although I don’t know him well, I felt very uncomfortable when I was with him. As a girl not yet twenty, I naturally wanted to go to university, pursue my own life, and walk my own path. Why should I marry him?”
Elder Madam Liu roared impatiently, “Shut up, you ignorant thing! Fine, even if you were young and didn’t want to marry the eldest young master of the Bai family back then, you regained your beauty later. I advised you to go back to the Bai family’s young master, and what was the result? You still refused! Not only did you refuse, but you married a good-for-nothing delivery man, Chen Yang. Aren’t you deliberately trying to infuriate me?”
“Chen Yang, that useless piece of trash, is the rotten goods that your cousin Liu Xin discarded, the garbage she kicked away. And you, you cherish the garbage that others don’t want and marry him. What is that if not cheapness?”
“In short, you must take over Tianliu Commercial Building today. Hurry up and find out what’s wrong with Tianliu Commercial Building and solve it.”
As Elder Madam Liu spoke, her temper flared, clearly showing her growing anger and disdain towards Liu Ran when these matters were brought up.
Liu Ran shook her head; she was about to refuse.
Just then, Chen Yang strode in.
Chen Yang had heard the entire conversation clearly. Thinking of the suffering Liu Ran had endured in the past, his heart ached once more.
His wife had sacrificed so much to refuse the pursuit of the eldest young master of the Bai family.
Chen Yang strode in, stood directly beside Liu Ran, placed his hand gently on her shoulder, and then turned to face Elder Madam Liu, saying, “Old woman, if you want Liu Ran to take over the position of general manager at Tianliu Commercial Building again, that’s fine. However, you’ll have to pay Liu Ran a fee of five hundred thousand yuan. If you’re unwilling, then forget it. We’ve already relinquished the general manager position, and we won’t take it back no matter what anyone says now.”
Upon hearing Chen Yang’s words, Elder Madam Liu’s brows furrowed. She said coldly, “Allowing you to be the general manager of Tianliu Commercial Building is already a favor. Yet you still want five hundred thousand? Greedy things. Truly worthy of being bottom-tier scum, short-sighted and only seeing money!”
Chen Yang merely rolled his eyes at Elder Madam Liu and said nothing.
Beside them, Liu Ran heard Chen Yang’s words and became worried. She looked at Chen Yang with a strange and confused expression.
Liu Ran knew some of the current situation at Tianliu Commercial Building. She knew that its condition was very poor. If she were to take over the general manager position for five hundred thousand yuan, and if the problems at Tianliu Commercial Building continued to spread and worsen, she might even end up in jail because of this five hundred thousand yuan.
Liu Ran was very puzzled. She didn’t understand why Chen Yang had suddenly become so greedy, wanting her to take such a risk for this sum of money.
Beside Elder Madam Liu, Liu Xin let out a cold laugh. She gritted her teeth and cursed angrily, “Fine, five hundred thousand. Isn’t it just five hundred thousand? We’ll pay. We’ll proceed with the handover now.”
Liu Xin said to Yang Long beside her, “Brother Long, transfer five hundred thousand to them, and then have them take over Tianliu Commercial Building immediately.”
Although Yang Long was pained by the thought of parting with five hundred thousand yuan, he knew that if they continued to hold the general manager position at Tianliu Commercial Building, Liu Xin would truly be implicated.
Yang Long took out his phone, asked for Liu Ran’s account number, and transferred five hundred thousand yuan to her.
Afterward, everyone brought out the salary details for Tianliu Commercial Building and a job description. The job description clearly stated that from this moment on, the position of general manager of Tianliu Commercial Building belonged to Liu Ran.
Liu Ran, holding the pen, looked at Chen Yang curiously. She quietly asked Chen Yang, “Chen Yang, do I really have to sign? Once I sign, I’ll truly become the general manager of Tianliu Commercial Building.”
Chen Yang smiled confidently at Liu Ran and nodded, “Sign it. Don’t worry, I’ll always be by your side.”
Liu Ran nodded. She naturally trusted Chen Yang implicitly.
Liu Ran quickly signed her name and accepted the official seal of Tianliu Commercial Building.
Seeing this, Liu Xin was completely relieved. She couldn’t help but laugh triumphantly. She looked at Chen Yang and Liu Ran dismissively, saying, “As expected! As expected, you two are just shallow, ignorant trash who are greedy for money, hahaha…”
Liu Xin said triumphantly to Chen Yang, “Chen Yang, I’m truly sorry! It’s estimated that in a few days, Liu Ran will be locked up in jail. At that time, you’ll be living alone. But the meager money you earn will only be enough to support yourself, which is quite suitable for you!”
Chen Yang chuckled and pointed outside, saying, “Alright, now that everything’s said and done, all of you should leave. Liu Ran and I need to sleep.”
Liu Xin cursed angrily, “Sleep? You still want to sleep? The problems at Tianliu Commercial Building are getting worse. When you’re both in jail later, you can sleep as long as you want.”
Liu Xin turned and walked out with the Liu family members triumphantly.
Only Liu Ran and Chen Yang were left in the courtyard. Liu Ran looked at the official seal in her hand and frowned, asking Chen Yang, “Chen Yang, what’s your plan? You made me demand five hundred thousand and then take over Tianliu Commercial Building. What’s the reason for this?”
“You, as the security captain, should be very aware of the problems at Tianliu Commercial Building. People are constantly being sent to the hospital. If multiple lives are lost, the general manager of Tianliu Commercial Building will naturally bear legal responsibility.”
Chen Yang gently stroked Liu Ran’s hair and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ve already resolved the issues at Tianliu Commercial Building. After all, I’m the security captain! The security issues at Tianliu Commercial Building are naturally my responsibility. I’ve found the person who poisoned them, and I’ve also found the antidote to treat the victims.”
“So, you don’t need to worry about anything else. I guarantee that by tomorrow morning, all the problems at Tianliu Commercial Building will be resolved. Then, you can continue to be the general manager of the commercial building with peace of mind. Of course, I had a reason for demanding that five hundred thousand yuan.”
Upon hearing Chen Yang’s words, Liu Ran was completely relieved.
She smiled, patted Chen Yang’s chest, and said, “You scared me to death! So you’ve already found the culprit? By the way, why did you want me to demand five hundred thousand yuan?”
