The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise Chapter 430 – A Pure Hearted Little Boy

Chapter 430: A Pure Hearted Little Boy

Huo Ningxin was a wealthy woman who would not go back on her words.

How wealthy was she?

Her brother and her sister-in-law would give her money whenever they had money, she had a company under her name, and her son owned the Li Corporation.

Eighty million was a small amount for her.

After all, the problem that could be solved with money was not a problem at all.

Huo Ningxin pulled another check out and wrote a 9 and a few zeroes on it with a black pen. Then, she held the check between her index and middle fingers and sarcastically flung the check at Ye Jiu.

Ye Jiu lowered his head and counted the number of zeros on the check. Then, he jerked his head up and looked at Huo Ningxin.

Huo Ningxin gracefully took a sip from her coffee and said, “Just treat the extra as your pocket money.”

The reason why Ye Jiu demanded 80 million yuan was that he was fully aware of the status of the Li Family in the capital. Calling them affluent would be an understatement, and he was certain that 80 million yuan was merely a small amount of money to them.

However, they had to be honest when they were making a deal, right?

Ye Jiu was a principled man as well. He pointed at the zeros on the check and said with a straight face, “You're missing a zero.”

Huo Ningxin was stunned for a moment as she looked at Ye Jiu in disbelief. However, she soon regained her composure and cleared her throat. She took the check over and added a zero on it.

After she had returned the check to Ye Jiu, she collected her hair behind her ear and said, “Find an opportunity, preferably a rainy night, and tell her that you don't love her and you approach her because she's pretty and you want her money. Tell her that you're a playboy and she isn't the only girl you're seeing, so you don't deserve her at all.”

'Great. She even has prepared a playbook for me.'

That said, Ye Jiu's eyes were glowing with interest as he loved this kind of heart-tormenting plot the most.

“What if she asks me why I chose to tell her now after hiding it from her for so long?”

“You still need me to teach you that?” Huo Ningxin glanced at Ye Jiu. Perhaps she felt the young man in front of her was boneless, her eyes filled with contempt and her voice thick with disdain as she said, “If she asks why you only confess to her at this time, you just tell her that you have cancer and you need to go abroad for treatment. If she refuses to leave you, tell her that your days are numbered and ask her to look for another man who could give her a happy life.”

Ye Jiu then asked, “Well, you do have a point, but I'm sure you know that girls nowadays are pretty stubborn. What if she insists on following me to go abroad for treatment and promises to stay with me for the rest of my life?”

Besides, living abroad could be very costly, and 90 million yuan was only enough to pay for Ye Jiu's taxi ride.

As such, Ye Jiu decided to ask for more money from her.

However, Huo Ningxin did not get what Ye Jiu was implying. She played with the jade bracelet on her wrist as she said, “As long as you are determined to leave her for money, there's nothing she can do. Besides, if necessary, you can lie to her, telling her that you're actually her half-brother, so God will never allow you guys to be together. If this still doesn't work, you can fake your death in front of her so that she can get over you completely. Anyway, this is what happens in TV dramas and novels, and people always say that all arts come from life, so we should definitely learn from them.”

Ye Jiu did not know what to say.

This was the first time he came across someone who had read more novels than him.

Huo Ningxin then continued, “In any case, I already gave you the money you needed. You're a smart kid, and I hope you keep your word. I believe you don't want me to turn against you, do you?”

Initially, Huo Ningxin thought Ye Jiu would be heartbroken since he had to leave the girl he loved the most in his life.

However, what she did not expect was that Ye Jiu just took the check and nodded indifferently.

Huo Ningxin was stunned, and for a moment, she wondered if she had the wrong person.

Then, she saw Ye Jiu pull a phone out and make a call. “Hey, are you the loan shark who used to live at the old street corner of the capital? Nope, nope. I'm not calling to loan money. I'm Ye Jiu. Your boss and the others in your shop should know me well. Anyway, here's the thing, please relay a message to your boss. Tell him that I have money now, so I won't force them to lend me money anymore. They can now come out of hiding, and I should be able to return the millions I owe you for the Maserati I bought for my brother.”

Perhaps the staff put the call on speaker, the voice of his boss erupted from the phone, “It's okay, it's okay. You don't need to return the money anymore. Let's end our relationship after this. I have had to be a cleaner at a hotel for 4 years to support my living ever since I started to do business with you, so please, I beg you. Please let me go. I have a whole family, a dog, and a cat to feed!”

Ye Jiu then said, “Are you sure about that? My sister taught me that I shouldn't owe other people's money…”

“Does your sister understand the hardships of poor people like us?!” The boss interjected, “Please, I beg you. Please let me go. I wish you happiness, good fortune, and prosperity! You don't have to return the money anymore!”

“Well, if you insist…” Ye Jiu smiled sweetly, “You really are the kindest person I have ever seen!”

The boss and Huo Ningxin were speechless.

The weather was getting colder.

By the time Fu Zhi arrived, Ye Jiu had hung up the call and he had finished talking with Huo Ningxin about his relationship with Fu Zhi.

Clutching the check in his hand, Ye Jiu asked one more question before he left, “Are you sure your son can be with Fu Zhi forever? Anyway, here is my WeChat number. If anything happens to them and they break up in the end, and your son needs it, you can let me know through WeChat and I'm willing to be your son-in-law.”

Startled, Huo Ningxin hastily replied, “I'm sorry, but my son and I don't want to!”

Fu Zhi, who was standing not far away, was stunned by Ye Jiu's shamelessness as well.

She had no idea what had happened, but the check that Ye Jiu was holding reminded her of the soap drama where a rich woman forced a girl to leave her son with money that her mother had been watching recently.

Fu Zhi craned her neck and looked at the check in Ye Jiu's hand.

'One, ten, hundred, thousand, 10 thousand, 100 thousand, oh god! How many zeros is 90 million? Oh, that doesn't matter anymore.'

Fu Zhi turned to look at Nuo Ningxin. Before Huo Ningxin could say anything, she grabbed Ye Jiu's hand and attempted to take the check from him but she failed.

She turned her head and looked begrudgingly at Ye Jiu.

Then, she jerked her head back and asked Huo Ningxin, “You want me to leave your son, right? Well, I've seen your sincerity, and I'm not against it. However, why did you give the money to my brother? You should've given it to me.”

Huo Ningxin was dumbfounded.

'She's willing to leave my son, and he's her brother?!'

Huo Ningxin was devastated.

'So I've been talking to her brother the whole time?!'

Ye Jiu wanted to stop Fu Zhi, but apparently, he was too late. Fu Zhi had exposed everything to Huo Ningxin and foiled his plan. He pinched Fu Zhi's finger and said, “Stop talking nonsense, I got this by pretending to be an innocent, pure-hearted little boy!”

Fu Zhi looked at him in confusion.

'Huh? Pure hearted? Little boy?'

“Are you sure you're still a little boy? At your age, aren't you an old wretch?”

Ye Jiu was stunned.

Probably all rich mothers-in-law liked good-looking daughters-in-law, or Huo Ningxin did not have any requirements for her daughter-in-law from the beginning, she was attracted by Fu Zhi's good look and she explained everything that happened just now to Fu Zhi with a good attitude and soft voice. She even said that the 90 million was a gift for Ye Jiu.

Ye Jiu knew Fu Zhi was the reason he could get the money. Therefore, he pulled Fu Zhi to one corner and said, “Let's split the money fifty-fifty, or else I will tell your mother that you're seeing someone outside!”

“No. I will take 80% and you take 20%,” Fu Zhi said expressionlessly.

Ye Jiu just wanted money and he did not care how much he got. He nodded and said, “Deal!”

After that, Fu Zhi dragged Ye Jiu back to the seat. Then, she asked Ye Jiu, “What should you say for taking Mrs. Li's check?”

Ye Jiu said, “Do you have more?”

Fu Zhi and Huo Ningxin fell speechless.

Perhaps she already knew that Ye Jiu was Fu Zhi's brother, Huo Ningxin did not feel Fu Zhi and Ye Jiu would make a good couple anymore and her attitude towards him had changed slightly.

“Nope. No more.”

Just when Fu Zhi was going to cover Ye Jiu's mouth as she feared he might say something improper, Ye Jiu just nodded. He took her bag and went out of the coffee shop, leaving Fu Zhi alone with Huo Ningxin.

Fu Zhi could not be quite sure what brought Huo Ningxin to Yu City today, but she still greeted her with good grace.

Huo Ningxin measured her future daughter-in-law from her head to her toe, and she felt tha Fu Zhi was really the most good-looking person she had ever seen in her life.

She had seen a lot of girls, but none of them could match Fu Zhi in beauty. Besides, most importantly, the young lady in front of her did not try to butter her up like the others did when they saw her.

She held herself with poise and confidence. Her eyes were filled with so much light that they seemed like stars in the sky. Huo Ningxin had never been so satisfied with her future daughter-in-law before.

After a short while, Huo Ningxin retracted her gaze and said, “Before I came here, I heard from Secretary Liu that Xiao Li likes you very much. In the past, when the Li Family was in a very unstable situation, he was sent to the army by his grandfather, and later he went to F Country for a few years to carry out a mission…”
