Having heard Hu Xiaobei's absolutely confident remark, Haruno Nanako was completely at ease.
After feeling relieved, Haruno Nanako looked at her mother, Haruno Rei, and said, "Mom, since Xiaobei has a way, why don't you answer the phone now? Let's hear what that pervert has to say. If he wants to come here to take the orchid, don't refuse him."
Haruno Rei nodded and immediately answered the phone.
The next second, a sleazy voice transmitted from the handset, "Haruno Rei, it's Zhujun here, you should remember me, right?"
On a normal day, upon hearing such a polite start to the conversation, Haruno Rei would respond kindly a few times.
But now, knowing what kind of person was on the other end, she felt disgusted, sick...
Haruno Rei wanted to tear into this trash immediately, but she abstained!
Because at that moment, she remembered the strategy that Hu Xiaobei had discussed of turning the tables on the enemy.
With this in mind, Haruno Rei suppressed the urge to lash out and said, "We've been in touch before. So, of course, I remember you. Have you returned from your business trip?"
"Yes! I've just returned from my trip. How's everything? The orchid I left in your care should be fine, right?"
Hearing Zhujun brazenly bring up the orchid made Haruno Rei feel even more sick.
Instantly, Haruno Rei had the involuntary urge to curse him out.
"No, I can't just start cursing him out now, otherwise Xiaobei's plan won't progress smoothly!"
After giving herself this silent admonition, Haruno Rei said, "Of course, there's not a single issue with it. If you want to take it back now, then just come and get it."
"What? What did you say? It's completely fine? For real?"
Hearing such an utterly astonished counter-question, Haruno Rei sneered sarcastically, "What's the matter? Are you surprised it's not problematic? Were you hoping for problems?"
Haruno Rei's counter-question left the person on the other end dumbfounded... ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
And so there was a moment of silence...
Shortly, Haruno Rei heard a somewhat awkward explanation: "What are you talking about? That orchid is priceless! How could I possibly wish for it to have problems! I was just casually surprised. Alright, I'm setting off now and should arrive at your shop in at most one hour. Let's have a good chat then."
Hearing such a forced explanation, Haruno Rei sneered, "Hmm, I'll wait for you then. Let's leave it at that!"
After finishing her words, Haruno Rei did not hesitate to hang up the phone decisively.
Now that she knew the true face of this garbage, Haruno Rei did not want to speak another word with him.
And for that reason, Haruno Rei hung up the phone without any hesitation.
Seeing Haruno Rei hanging up the phone, Haruno Nanako spoke up, "Mom, that trash will be coming soon, right?"
"Yes! He said he will be here within one hour at most!"
After hearing this response, Haruno Nanako nodded and quickly turned to Hu Xiaobei, "Xiaobei, that trash will be here in an hour, now it's all on you. You must firmly slap him in the face!"
Hearing Haruno Nanako's eager words, Haruno Rei looked at Hu Xiaobei with some anxiety.
She knew that Hu Xiaobei was their last lifeline.
If even Hu Xiaobei had no solution, then things would really become troublesome.
Sensing their mother-daughter anxiety, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't disappoint you! With an hour's time, I can definitely make it thrive."
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's affirmative reply, Haruno Rei hesitantly said, "Xiaobei, if you make it fully recover, wouldn't that be giving it away to that trash for nothing?"
"That's what I mean, Xiaobei!"
Haruno Nanako, hearing Haruno Rei's words, quickly chimed in!
Both Haruno Rei and Haruno Nanako knew the orchid was beyond help!
So, if Hu Xiaobei made it fully recover now, then it really would be giving it away to that trash for nothing...
Feeling their anxiety, Hu Xiaobei smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, in this world, I'm the one who takes advantage of others – no one can take advantage of me."
Hearing Hu Xiaobei speak with such confidence, Haruno Nanako and Haruno Rei laughed!
Soon, they couldn't help but worry about the trash named Zhujun.
They knew Zhujun would be utterly played by Hu Xiaobei later.
Regarding this, they felt no sympathy.
Because they knew that kind of trash, even if tormented to death by Hu Xiaobei, truly deserved it.
As they sneered coldly, the trash named Zhujun expressionlessly hung up the phone.
Quickly, he looked out the window with obvious displeasure.
"Haruno Rei actually just said there's nothing wrong with that orchid, could it be true? But that's impossible!"
That orchid was his, so he knew there was something seriously wrong with it.
He had long known the problems with that orchid were quite severe.
Therefore, he knew that orchid would definitely die soon.
He felt letting the orchid die was a total waste.
So, he wanted to make some use of the dying orchid.
That's how he used the soon-to-be-dead orchid as bait...
After preparing the trap thoroughly, Zhujun started to contemplate his victim...
At that moment, Zhujun suddenly remembered how beautiful Haruno Rei was...
With that thought, he decided to target Haruno Rei!
In his view, as long as he set this trap for Haruno Rei, he could eat her alive.
Then, by threatening and frightening her forcefully, he could make her submit!
By then, she would become his plaything...
Having thought this through, he had previously grafted some roots onto the orchid...
And then, he sent it to Haruno Rei...
After sending it, he started a countdown.
In his mind, although he had reworked the roots of the orchid, the problem was still very serious!
So, at most in a week, that orchid would die completely.
A week later, today, he couldn't wait to call Haruno Rei.
He thought, it's already been a week, the orchid must have died...
So calling her now, he was sure to get the good news he wanted.
But after making the call, what he learned from Haruno Rei was that the orchid was fine!
This left him utterly dumbfounded...
"What on earth is going on, could it be that orchid has really come back to life?"
The moment this thought entered his mind, Zhujun shook his head vigorously.
He knew that was impossible!
Because the orchid's roots were haphazardly connected by himself!
In fact, the orchid had absolutely no chance of survival!
So, even if an Immortal descended, it couldn't be saved.
Having realized this, Zhujun fired up the engine, accelerated quickly, and headed straight to Haruno Rei.
As the scenery on both sides of the road flew by in reverse, Zhujun said with an excited cold voice, "I don't know what the situation is right now, but I believe, Haruno Rei will soon become my woman!"
With that in mind, he suddenly thought of Haruno Rei's daughter, Haruno Nanako...
At that instant, he unconsciously licked his lower lip...
