Seriously injured in a car accident, his wife confessed her love for his "white moonlight"
Chapter 157 What does 1 million yuan mean?
Xu Tian and Su Zhen exchanged a glance and said gravely, "Then this person has no other way out but death!"
"You don't need to worry about this, I'll handle it!"
After Xu Tian finished speaking, he picked up the plastic bag and left the company.
Although he and Zhang Qian were divorced and had no contact with each other, and Zhang Peng was no good, Xu Tian couldn't bring himself to leave him alone. Zhang Peng didn't deserve to die; after all, it was a human life. After thinking it over, Xu Tian decided to talk to Zhang Qian and let her decide whether or not to save him.
Xu Tian called Zhang Qian, who was overjoyed and told him her current address.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qian excitedly jumped up from the sofa. Xu Tian was finally not angry with her anymore. This was the first time he had called her since their divorce!
She absolutely had to perform well and try to make Xu Tian happy! That way, she wouldn't have to associate with trash like Chen Feng, and the company would be saved!
As for those who hurt her, Lin Wan'er, Chu Lan, Su Nuannuan, and Zhao Jing!
Zhang Qian read out the names of these people, a flash of malice crossing her eyes. She was determined to make them pay! She would let them know who Xu Tianzhen truly loved!
Thinking of this, Zhang Qian went back to her room, took a shower, put on what she considered her sexiest nightgown, sprayed on her expensive perfume that she was reluctant to use, and waited quietly for Xu Tian to come find her.
The doorbell rang, and Zhang Qian hurriedly got up to open the door.
"So soon..."
The conversation abruptly ended, because the person who arrived was not Xu Tian, but Li Cui, who was in a disheveled state.
Li Cui staggered into the house, her face filled with terror, her hair disheveled, and her clothes in disarray, clearly having just gone through a struggle. She was panting heavily, and seeing Zhang Qian was like seeing a glimmer of hope for survival.
"Qianqian, something bad has happened! Those people... released me to raise money, but Zhang Peng is still being held captive there. They said if we don't give them the money, they'll... cripple him." As she spoke, Li Cui slumped to the ground, covering her face with her hands, tears seeping through her fingers, and an atmosphere of despair filled the entire room.
"They...they are a bunch of beasts! Your brother...your brother's finger was chopped off while he was still alive!"
Zhang Qian was stunned. The scene before her was beyond her expectations, and she didn't know what to do. She could only stare blankly at Li Cui, her heart already in a panic.
"What did you say? My brother is in their hands?"
Li Cui nodded painfully, "He's your own brother! You absolutely must save him!"
Zhang Qian stumbled back a few steps, "How much...how much do they want?"
"One hundred million! Just give them one hundred million and my son will come back!"
"It's only 100 million, I'm sure you have a way to solve it!"
Zhang Qian looked at Li Cui in surprise, "One hundred million? Do you know what one hundred million means? Even when Hengtong Group was at its busiest, it only earned a little over twenty million a year without eating or drinking!"
Upon hearing this, Li Cui's face instantly contorted. She lunged at Zhang Qian's feet, gripping Zhang Qian's trouser leg tightly with both hands, tears and snot mingling as she cried out in a hoarse voice.
"Qianqian, you can't just stand by and watch him die! That's your own brother! How can you bear to see him suffer? You can just make a phone call and find any big shot. What's a hundred million? If you don't save him, I won't live either. Let's go to hell together!"
As she spoke, she began to slap Zhang Qian's legs haphazardly, completely losing control of her emotions.
Zhang Qian closed her eyes, feeling utterly hopeless. "You only care about his life or death, but what about me? Have you ever thought about me since I was a child?"
"I don't care about anything else, you unfilial wretch! That's your own brother! If you don't save him, I'll die with him!" Li Cui shouted hoarsely.
Zhang Qian bit her lower lip tightly, her face as pale as paper, her eyes filled with struggle and despair. She slowly knelt down, helped Li Cui up with both hands, and said in a trembling but firm voice...
"Okay, I'll save you, but you have to promise me that from now on, we're even, and you'll no longer be my mother."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Cui's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by greed and eagerness. She nodded repeatedly, tears streaming down her face again. "Okay, okay, as long as you save your brother, I'll agree to anything you ask."
Zhang Qian stood up, staggered to the window, and looked at the dark night sky outside, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down.
As long as she appeases Xu Tian, 100 million yuan is not a difficult thing for Xu Tian and the Xu Group. However, she also needs to consider her future. After she and Xu Tian reconcile, she will be the glamorous Mrs. Xu in public. She absolutely cannot have such a disreputable family and relatives.
This 100 million yuan is to buy out the bond between her and her mother for the rest of their lives. She wants to completely break away from her family of origin and become a glamorous Mrs. Xu!
Thinking of this, Zhang Qian's mood became as calm as still water.
"Xu Tian will be here soon. If you want your son to live, stay in your room and don't come out!"
Upon hearing Xu Tian's name, Li Cui was overjoyed. "Good, good, my good daughter! As long as it can save your brother, I'll do whatever you say!"
Zhang Qian was completely different from before, seemingly treating Li Cui as a stranger. After Li Cui went in, she adjusted her mindset and attire, feeling extremely uneasy.
The doorbell rang again.
Xu Tian finally appeared at the door, dressed in a sharp suit, his face stern yet with a hint of barely perceptible gentleness. Zhang Qian suppressed her inner turmoil and went to greet him, her face blooming with what she thought was her most tender smile.
"Xu Tian, you're here." Her voice was soft and full of emotion, and she instinctively put her hands on his shoulders, but he inadvertently dodged them.
Xu Tian looked around. The room was softly lit, and there was a faint scent of perfume in the air. Everything seemed to have been carefully arranged, but he wasn't here to talk about love this time.
Zhang Qian's eyes were full of care and love. "Did you come for breakfast so early? Shall I make you something? You haven't tried my cooking yet!"
Xu Tian's eyes were devoid of any warmth. "No need. I came to see you because..."
"Let's change into our slippers first, then we can talk about what's going on..."
Zhang Qian bent down and placed the slippers she had prepared next to Xu Tian's feet. From this angle, he could just see the cleavage that was faintly visible inside Zhang Qian's clothes.
Xu Tian frowned. When did Zhang Qian become so considerate? But he no longer needed her!
"Let's get down to business. You know about your brother Zhang Peng's situation, right?"
Zhang Qian was slightly taken aback, and then her heart started racing. It turned out that Xu Tian had come because of her brother's matter. Sure enough, he still cared about her. Otherwise, why would he have come to find her so soon?
Thinking of this, Zhang Qian was filled with joy.
"You...you knew all along? I was just thinking about how to tell you..."
After saying that, she looked at Xu Tian with affection in her eyes and continued, "I know that one hundred million is a small matter to you, but I'm really embarrassed to ask you for it."
