“No money?” Ye Sui sneered. “If you don’t have money, just be prepared to go to jail! There are so many witnesses here, and they’ve taken photos. Don’t even think about shirking responsibility!”
“I’m not trying to shirk responsibility,” Ye Yao said. “It’s just that I really don’t have 100 million.”
“If you can’t cough it up, ask your uncle and Gao Qiao for it! If you don’t have the money, this matter won’t end like this!” What Ye Sui meant was that if Ye Yao couldn’t cough up 100 million yuan, this matter wouldn’t be put to rest!
Xiang Jingtian saw everything clearly from the side. This was the first time he was seeing women scheming against each other. In the end, he couldn’t help but step in. “Alright, I’ll pay 100 million. You can leave now.”
Ye Yao was stumped. So was Ye Sui and everyone else in the crowd.
Ye Sui quickly reacted and snorted. “Who are you?! Do you have 100 million? Do you think you’re a wealthy young master?!”
Ye Yao raised her eyebrows. She could recall Huo Buyu mentioning the strange rule in Xiang Jingtian’s family. In the capital, the Xiang family seemed to be a wealthy family, second only to the Huo family, so… Xiang Jingtian was indeed a young master from a top-tier wealthy family!
Ye Yao pressed her palm against her forehead and suddenly looked at He
Wenwen. Then she shouted, “Oh my god, is that a snake crawling on her?”
Everyone turned in the direction that Ye Yao was talking about and saw a very, very thin snake crawling across the unconscious He Wenwen’s chest.
“Ah ah ah ah ah…” Many people were afraid of slithery animals such as snakes. So when they saw a snake crawling on He Wenwen’s body, everyone around screamed.
Ye Sui had her arms around He Wenwen. The snake slithered on He Wenwen’s chest and occasionally rubbed against Ye Sui’s arm. Ye Sui’s face was pale as she jumped ten meters away. “Ahhhh!”
He Wenwen, who was pretending to be dead, also distinctly felt something cold crawling across her skin. She opened her eyes and saw a snake flicking its tongue right before her eyes…
He Wenwen’s hair stood on end! She sprang up immediately and screamed hysterically, “Ahhhh!” The snake fell to the ground at once, and He Wenwen stepped on it desperately. “I’ll stomp you to death! I’ll stomp you to death!” “Don’t, don’t step on it, don’t step on it. I spent a lot of money to buy it!” A middle-aged man ran over and pushed He Wenwen away. He picked up the dying snake on the ground that He Wenwen had stomped on and placed it on his wrist. Then, he let out a long breath. “Fortunately, it hasn’t been trampled to death…” As he spoke, the middle-aged man walked towards a big truck parked by the roadside. Everyone was looking at him. Then, he lifted the black cloth on the big truck. One could see that it was filled with glass troughs. The glass troughs were full ot snakes, making one’s scalp tingle.
The middle-aged man put the snake in and said apologetically to the people around him, “I’m sorry. I’m a farmer. Recently, there’s been a problem with the crops and I need to lure the snakes to deal with it. I didn’t expect one to run out accidentally. But don’t worry, this snake isn’t poisonous. I’m really sorry for scaring you!” With that, the middle-aged man bowed, put down the black cloth, got into the car, and left.
He Wenwen only dared to curse after the middle-aged man left. “Are you crazy?! You’re driving a truckload of snakes in the city! You scared me to death!”
The surrounding people were also frightened. There were almost no snakes in the city, and very few people from Capital University had seen real snakes. All of them were scared out of their wits.
At this point, Ye Yao spoke. “He Wenwen, has your heart condition recovered? Since you’re fine, I don’t have to give you this 100 million anymore, right?” Ye Yao smiled at Ye Sui and He Wenwen, her smile lit up her beautiful face.
Ye Sui and He Wenwen’s expressions froze. Ye Yao’s words attracted the attention of the onlookers. He Wenwen, who seemed to be dead a minute ago, was now unscathed and she was even scolding people. Just like that, she had a heart attack? It had to be a joke!
Xiang Jingtian snorted coldly. “This scamming method is amazing! Asking for
100 million outright! You’ve been planning this for a long time, haven’t you?”
Ye Sui and He Wenwen looked at each other, almost crazy from anger. Why was there a snake?! How could there be a snake?! If it hadn’t been for this snake, Ye Yao would have been at their mercy. They would have gotten the 100 million very quickly! With the money, their family’s problem would be resolved! This snake was really annoying!
Xiang Jingtian’s expression darkened. “Shameless people. You’re so young and you’re trying to scam people.. You want 100 million? Is your life worth 100 million?”
