Chapter 642: Chapter 643: Gu Qichen and the Young Actress’ Photo
Xia Weiwei was exhilarated, “Whatever you want, I can give you.”
The condition set by Xia Yangyang didn’t seem difficult.
She said she wanted something from Liu Ruyan.
That’s easy to handle. Regardless of what it is, Liu Ruyan wouldn’t hesitate to give it up.
Xia Yangyang spoke, “It’s a Swiss remittance note worth five million. That money represents the wealth my mother accumulated and it was eventually usurped by your mother. Now, I want it back, but it’s inconvenient for me to ask Aunt Liu directly.”
But Xia Weiwei arrogantly replied, “Just five million. My mother wouldn’t mind parting with it.”
Xia Yangyang continued, “You might not know the real story behind it. Aunt Liu will never willingly give me the remittance note. As the younger generation, it’s difficult for us to understand the disputes of our elders. My mother didn’t leave me much in this world, and it’s not that I lack those five million. I just want it back as a token of remembrance, as it was the result of my mother’s hard work.”
Xia Weiwei replied, “Then I’ll steal it for you, but you have to promise me that once I hand the remittance note over to you, you’ll give me the recording. Let’s call it even, and we owe each other nothing.”
Xia Yangyang smiled, “You know me, I’m all for a fair trade, no deceit intended. But Xia Weiwei, if you can’t find the note, or if Aunt Liu finds out and it causes trouble, don’t blame me for being ruthless. After all, we still owe each other over an old score.”
Xia Weiwei’s face instantly darkened.
Xia Weiwei knew that Xia Yangyang was referring to the incident four years ago when she accidentally hit her with her car.
It was a constant source of anxiety for Xia Weiwei.
The reason Xia Yangyang didn’t mention it to Gu Qichen as soon as she came back was probably to keep it as leverage over her.
Xia Weiwei gritted her teeth, “You can be sure that I’ll find that five million.”
Clutching her fingers tightly, with a face full of fury and unwillingness, Xia Weiwei left.
Xia Yangyang was overcome with a feeling of weakness and lay on her bed.
Actually, there wasn’t even a camera in the room.
She just made up the story to scare Xia Weiwei.
Xia Weiwei, feeling guilty, confessed everything without realizing the deception.
Xia Yangyang knew it wasn’t realistic for her to personally search for the five million Swiss remittance note, as it could send alarm bells ringing.
But it would be different if Xia Weiwei did it.
Liu Ruyan would not guard against her own daughter like she does with Xia Yangyang.
That’s why she threatened Xia Weiwei just now.
Xia Yangyang wasn’t worried that Xia Weiwei wouldn’t make a sincere effort to find it.
Of course, Xia Yangyang also wasn’t worried that Xia Weiwei would spill the beans to Liu Ruyan.
Xia Weiwei was known for acting recklessly.
This plan of killing three birds with one stone might seem meticulous, but it’s actually full of holes and too impulsive.
It didn’t seem like Liu Ruyan’s doing.
The fact that Liu Ruyan didn’t devise and control this scheme suggested that Xia Weiwei came up with it herself.
Over the years, Xia Weiwei had done many foolish things and messed up many situations in her pursuit of Gu Qichen, so she wouldn’t be foolish enough to tell Liu Ruyan and bring trouble upon herself.
So Xia Yangyang gave Xia Weiwei an opportunity, allowing her to believe that five million could resolve the problem.
In reality, she wanted Xia Weiwei to unearth the deposit receipt.
But Xia Yangyang wasn’t sure if Xia Weiwei could find it.
Perhaps, that deposit receipt is with Gu Mingzhu.
Xia Yangyang felt tired, no matter what, she could only take one step at a time.
Xia Yangyang lay on her bed for a nap.
When she woke up, it was already evening.
Getting up, she felt a pang of hunger and decided to go out for some food.
But the floor beside her bed was scattered with photos.
Xia Yangyang picked them up one by one.
Looking through them, she was surprised to see a photo of Zhang Xinyi and Gu Qichen together.
