Li An’an’s mind went blank for a moment. Looking at Li Chong across from her, she could feel her stomach churning. The person who held her hand and led her out of the orphanage step by step, promising sunshine, was in fact so disgusting.
“I’ll give you one minute to consider!” Li Chong raised his wrist and looked at the watch in his hand. He admired the despair on Li An’an’s face with satisfaction. He recalled the first time he saw her in the orphanage. She was so beautiful and adorable that he wanted to destroy her!
A person with a dark heart could not stand to see anything too beautiful! Therefore, she was destined to be his stepping stone.
As time passed, the intense emotions on Li An’an’s face turned into indifference. “How can I know that you won’t release the video after getting the jade pendant!”
Li Chong laughed. “Your worry is very reasonable, but you have no choice now. Believe me or have your reputation ruined immediately. Choose for yourself, or take a gamble. After all, I raised you, so I won’t be too ruthless! Do you still remember the joy that was so evident on your face when I chose you? It is still very moving, thinking back today!”
“Thirty seconds left!” “Twenty seconds!”
“Ten seconds!”
“One second!”
Li Chong was about to put his phone away when Li An’an took out the jade pendant from her bag and slammed it on the table. Her hands were trembling slightly from anger! She looked at Li Chong with disgust and hatred.
“Haha, that’s an obedient An’an. This thing doesn’t belong to you. Don’t ever desire something that doesn’t belong to you!” Li Chong greedily took the jade pendant and held it in his hand. Before he left, he handed the phone over.
Li An’an took it and clicked on the video to take a look. She deleted it immediately, as if that was the only way she’d stop feeling suffocated and disgusted.
“Miss, you haven’t eaten the pudding. Don’t you want it?”
She stood up and got ready to leave. She glanced at the pudding. “No!”
She threw the phone that Li Chong had left behind into the trash can.
Li An’an was able to breathe more easily only after she had walked out of the shop. She took a taxi back to Chu Yichen’s place.
When she was in the car, Li Chong called again. “I still have the video! An’an, you’re too naive!
How can I let you off so easily? You’re so beautiful and valuable to me! You should have known this long ago. I’m a person who makes the best use of everything!” Li Chong’s smug mockery came through the phone. Li An’an did not react very much to this. “I’ve already guessed it!” Li Chong’s smile froze as he waited for Li An’an to continue.
“I spent 1,000 yuan. The craftsmanship is decent. It’s quite retro! But ultimately, it’s not the real thing! If it falls into the hands of the person who wants it, they’d be able to tell at a glance if it’s genuine or otherwise!”
“An’an, you’ve wised up. How dare you trick me! I’ll broadcast the video online!” “Then I’ll smash the jade pendant. Let me guess why you’re in such a hurry to get your hands on it. It has something to do with my background, hasn’t it? This thing will give you a lot of benefits. It can alleviate the company’s financial crisis! ”
The muscles on Li Chong’s face twitched. He didn’t expect his foster daughter to have become so smart.
It was indeed good genes.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll snatch it by force?”
“If you could, you would have done it long ago. You wouldn’t have taken that risk! I’ll say it again. I can give you the jade pendant… When you’re able to prove your character!” Li An’an hung up, leaving Li Chong to deal with his own psychological pressure.
Since no one could get what they wanted, they were even!
Li An’an returned to the office with a headache. Chu Yichen was already back. He sat on the chair, staring at her with an icy expression, as if she had done something heinous..
