Chapter 726 — Qiu Lingshan's Boyfriend?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Never in her life had she seen so much money. Three million, a full three million! Add the five hundred thousand from before, and it came to three and a half million! Had she herself become one of those legendary millionaires?
"Old Tang, look at this statement. Are those four zeros? Thirty-five in front, seven digits in all?" Mother Tang held the record as though it were a treasure, unable to put it down, and asked Tang Jucheng.
"It's three and a half million. You've shown it to me more than ten times." Tang Jucheng was calm enough by now. So much had happened at home lately, but ever since Wei Zhao appeared, things had plainly been getting better and better.
"Breaking that leg of yours was worth it after all!" Mother Tang joked.
"Give it a rest." Tang Jucheng laughed at himself. "My leg? In their eyes it probably isn't worth a single cent. I've broken it before, haven't I? Lay in bed all those years, and did a single cent ever come of it? If not for Wei Zhao this time, forget three million, they'd have been hard pressed to hand over thirty thousand!"
"I was only joking!" Mother Tang knew there was no telling how Wei Zhao had managed it, but he had the skill all right: he had broken the leg of the chairman of that Qibing Real Estate Company, and the man still had to pay him compensation!
As Mother Tang and Tang Jucheng were talking, Tang Zhi pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing both her parents' faces wreathed in smiles, she could not help but find it odd. "Dad, Mom, what are you talking about that's made you so happy?"
"We're talking about this three million! Xiaoyi really is something—he just went and got it, three million?" Mother Tang gleefully waved the bank card and the statement in the air. "Tell your mother how you got it out of them."
"It was nothing much. Wei Zhao gave Li Cihua's younger brother, Li Dilei, a sound thrashing, and then Li Cihua came to plead for leniency, so Wei Zhao demanded three million from him for Dad's medical expenses..." Tang Zhi gave a brief account of the gist, deliberately leaving out the details for fear her mother would worry.
"What?" Mother Tang and Tang Jucheng both stared wide-eyed at once. That worked too? You beat up the man's younger brother, and he still has to give you three million? That was a bit too formidable, too overbearing! But the more overbearing Wei Zhao was, the happier she felt; only thus would their family no longer be bullied by others in the future. So she said, "I was thinking of buying a place tomorrow in a poor location, a cheap one, and just making do if we could live in it. Now this is better—with this much money, we can afford any kind of house we want!"
"Then let's buy a nicer one..." Tang Zhi knew this money was really much the same as what Wei Zhao had given their family. Wei Zhao could have demanded the three million from Li Cihua straight out; her father's medical expenses were merely a pretext for Wei Zhao to give their family money.
But it was also thanks to that pretext that Tang Zhi could not refuse. It was only right that Li Cihua compensate her father! Although without Wei Zhao, their family might not have gotten a single cent.
