Chapter 88, Taking Advantage of Someone's Misfortune! (Please Subscribe)

Lin Xiwei lives on the East Third Ring Road, which is quite far from her rented apartment complex.

Add to that the morning rush hour traffic jam, and it took almost an hour to get there.

They live in an old neighborhood that used to be a residential area for employees of a large state-owned enterprise, so they know many of their old neighbors well.

As soon as Zhang Xian and Lin Xiwei got out of the car, an older woman who had been staring at Zhang Xian's cool sports car came up to them and started a conversation.

"Xiwei, is this your boyfriend?"

The older woman asked questions while looking Zhang Xian up and down.

Lin Xi hesitated for a moment before replying, "Classmate."

Although she and Zhang Xian have reconciled physically, their relationship is not clear, and Zhang Xian has not mentioned getting back together.

Most importantly, she was the one who offered to pay the "interest" yesterday, so their relationship is more like a transaction.

"Classmate!"

"Your classmate is really handsome!"

"How old are you, young man?"

The older woman clearly didn't believe her classmate's statement and started chatting with Zhang Xian with a smile.

"22, the same age as Xiwei."

"Happy to be the same age, let's grow together!"

"Young man, what do you do for a living?"

The woman continued to press for answers, and it was starting to resemble a household registration inquiry.

Anyway, she's a retired old lady with nothing else to do, so why wouldn't she enjoy the gossip?

"Aunt Zhao, I'll talk to you when I have time. My mom is in a hurry to get me back!"

Lin Xiwei interrupted Aunt Zhao's check of household registrations and pulled Zhang Xian into the building.

"They say they're classmates, but they're holding hands!"

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Aunt Zhao muttered something under her breath.

upstairs.

Lin.

There are two guests at Lin Xiwei's house right now.

One was her aunt Zhang Yafei, and the other was a "little dark fat boy".

"Third sister, talk to Xiwei properly later. As long as she agrees to this marriage, everything will be resolved. We won't have to sell the house, and we won't have to worry about Wanli's subsequent medical expenses!"

Zhang Yafei offered some words of advice, then winked at the chubby little man beside her.

The other party immediately placed the large briefcase they had brought on the coffee table, and after unzipping it, a stack of red banknotes was revealed.

“Auntie, here is 300,000. If Xiwei agrees to marry me, I will add another 360,000 when we get engaged, making it a dowry of 660,000.”

"I will cover all the subsequent treatment costs for my brother!"

This chubby, dark-skinned man is Zhou Jian, the son of the factory owner where Zhang Yafei works. He is divorced and has a son. Previously, Zhang Yafei's boss asked her to help introduce a girlfriend to her son. In order to please her boss, Zhang Yafei agreed and introduced Lin Xiwei to him.

Out of respect for her aunt, Lin Xiwei went to meet the other party, but it was just a formality. However, Zhou Jian took a liking to her and pestered her for quite a while. In the end, Lin Xiwei simply blocked his contact information.

But Zhou Jian clearly had no intention of giving up, especially since he knew that Lin Xiwei needed money to treat her brother's illness, so he had been waiting for an opportunity.

Well, the opportunity came last night.

Zhang Yaqin called her sister Zhang Yafei to borrow money for her son's kidney transplant. Zhang Yafei saw this as an opportunity and quickly told Zhou Jian the news. Then the two of them took the money and rushed to Lin Xiwei's house early in the morning.

They were thinking of taking advantage of the situation to arrange the marriage!
For Zhou Jian, whether Lin Xiwei liked him or not was irrelevant; what mattered was getting her first!
He was completely captivated after meeting her on a blind date, and almost fell head over heels for her.

“Yafei, this is something Xiwei should decide for herself.”

Zhang Yaqin shook her head. A dowry of 660,000 yuan—it would be a lie to say she wasn't tempted, especially when she urgently needed the money to save her life.

But she couldn't bring herself to sell her daughter. Her son was her precious child, but her daughter was also her own daughter; she couldn't treat them differently.

"Don't marry!"

"Even if I die, I will not let Xiwei marry such a bastard!"

At that moment, a faint sound came from the bedroom.

You could tell from the voice that the other person was very weak; they spoke without any confidence. But there was a firmness in that weak voice.

Zhou Jian knew it was his brother-in-law's voice, but he pretended not to hear it. What right did someone who was almost unable to take care of himself have?

However, he really didn't want his brother-in-law to die, because once he died, Lin Xiwei's "weakness" would be gone, and if the other party didn't need money, then he would definitely have no chance.

"Third sister, Wanli is only 28 years old this year!"

"Once you get through this, there's still a long road ahead. Besides, you haven't even had your grandson yet!"

"We can't let him run wild!"

Zhang Yafei ignored Lin Wanli in the bedroom and started persuading her third sister, Zhang Yaqin, again.

"Xiwei's matter is ultimately up to her to decide."

Zhang Yaqin gave the same answer: she couldn't bring herself to sell her daughter.

Just then, the sound of a key unlocking the door came from the doorway. With a creak, the old security door opened, and Lin Xiwei entered the house.

The Lin family's house is only a little over 50 square meters, a small two-bedroom apartment. The advantage of an old house is that there is no shared area, so even though it is only a little over 50 square meters, it can still be made into a proper two-bedroom apartment. It's just that the bedroom is a bit small, and the living room, which also serves as a dining room, is right outside the bedroom door.

"Xiwei is back!"

"Just waiting for you!"

Upon seeing that it was Lin Xiwei who opened the door, Zhang Yafei immediately stood up with a smile, and Zhou Jian's gaze was fixed on Lin Xiwei and couldn't be taken off.

However, he soon spotted Zhang Xian following behind Lin Xiwei.

"Xiwei, who is this?"

Zhang Yafei also saw Zhang Xian, and her brows furrowed subconsciously, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.

"my classmate."

Lin Xiwei had no idea that her aunt was at her house, especially since she was with Zhou Jian.

However, with Zhou Jian by her side, she immediately guessed the other party's intentions.

"You must be Xiao Zhang."

Zhang Yaqin recognized Zhang Xian. He and her daughter had been dating for two or three years. She had caught them together downstairs several times during high school.

They even kissed once!

Zhang Yaqin was so angry at the time that she almost exploded; that impression was really deep.

Besides, there are photos of Zhang Xian and his daughter at home.

"It's me, hello Auntie."

Zhang Xian was surprised to be recognized at a glance, but thinking about it, it was normal. In high school, people always treated him like a thief, so he must have a deep impression of him.

Seeing that her third sister actually knew Zhang Xian, Zhang Yafei had an even worse feeling. She quickly picked up the briefcase containing the money and said, "Xiwei, Xiaojian heard that Wanli has been matched with a kidney donor, so he came here to deliver the money. Here is 300,000."

"When you get engaged, I'll give you another 360,000, making it a total of 660,000 for the bride price!"

"Look how sincere Xiao Jian is!"

"Xiwei, if you think 66 is too little, I'll add another 22, making it 88!"

Zhang Xian's arrival made Zhou Jian feel increasingly threatened, so he took the initiative to increase the bride price from 66 to 88.

"Xiwei, can you hear me!"

"Three million!"

"With this money, I won't have to worry about the cost of the kidney transplant surgery or the subsequent treatment!"

Zhang Yafei quickly echoed this sentiment.

"Auntie, thank you for your kindness, but I already have the money for my brother's treatment!"

"So, you can take him with you now!"

Lin Xiwei gave Zhou Jian a cold look. Even if Zhang Xian hadn't lent her a million, she would never sell herself to Zhou Jian.

Although Lin Xiwei cherishes the bond between her siblings, she would not blindly sacrifice herself.

We still have a house; we haven't reached the point of desperation.
