These past few days have been tough for Han Shipei because Pan Dongliang has been constantly pressuring and enticing her to write a letter of understanding for his son, especially with her parents also putting continuous pressure on her.
Even though she had promised them half a million, it only brought peace for a day. The next day, her dad called again urging her to write the letter of understanding because Pan Dongliang raised the offer to 700,000, and if she didn't agree this ti, he would really sue her parents, as the lawyer's letter had already been delivered to him, making her mom faint from fear.
This made Han Shipei feel exhausted, and she began to waver. To her, 500,000 was already a huge sum; she had already advanced 200,000 from Fengmang Film and Television Company, and planned to gradually gather the remaining 300,000 from the fish in her ponds.
Even so, she wasn't entirely confident about being able to gather 300,000 by the end of the year.
Now, with the price increase to 700,000, it was almost impossible for her to co up with the money. Moreover, the other side had directly sent a lawyer's letter to her parents; even though she knew the lawyer's letter wasn't comparable to a court summons, her parents didn't understand that, and explanations might not be listened to.
So, it was understandable for her to waver.
After hanging up on her father, Han Shipei felt miserable the whole day and barely slept at night.
The next day, she nearly arrived late to work. By lunchti, she finally couldn't stand it any longer and called her dad, expressing her willingness to accept the 700,000 offer and write a letter of understanding for Pan Dongliang's son.
Her dad was overjoyed upon hearing this and imdiately called Pan Dongliang's representative, but the call went unanswered. After calling three tis, the person finally answered, irritably telling him that everything they said before was void and they wouldn't contact him again.
anwhile, Pan Dongliang was still in the ICU being resuscitated. When his assistant, who was also his nephew, learned of this news, he imdiately took the earliest flight back to Xiu Zhou, leaving everything else behind.
Everything had to wait until Pan Dongliang's resuscitation results ca in. If he couldn't be saved, his assistant and nephew would probably take over Dongliang Electrical Company.
For him, that was the most important thing at the mont; pressuring Han Shipei to write a letter of understanding was completely secondary. Moreover, the 700,000 was to be given by Pan Dongliang, not him.
Even if Pan Dongliang was resuscitated, Han Shipei's issue would have to wait.
Han Shipei's father, being unaware of the situation, was puzzled and began to worry if Pan Dongliang was determined to sue them for double the compensation.
He then hurriedly contacted Han Shipei, asking her to find out what was going on.
Han Shipei was also puzzled about the reason. Previously, Pan Dongliang was determined to get the letter of understanding, so why the sudden "end of it"?
Her confusion didn't last long because news that Cao Yue deliberately crashed his car into Pan Dongliang went viral, with surveillance videos showing Cao Yue violently ramming into Pan Dongliang's vehicle five tis.
During her lunch break, Wu ngting stumbled upon this violent video, which clearly stated the victim was the boss of Dongliang Electrical Company. Shocked and surprised, Wu ngting imdiately forwarded the video to Han Shipei and sent a voice ssage congratulating her, ntioning that with Pan Dongliang's life in the balance, he probably wouldn't bother her anymore.
So, indeed, it was the end of it.
However, Han Shipei couldn't feel happy; instead, she felt a sense of absurdity and irony.
Initially, she was determined not to yield to Pan Dongliang for money, but in the end, she compromised and chose money just that day.
But what's laughable is that after she conceded, the opposing side abruptly ended things this way, giving her an unspeakable sense of irony.
Indeed, she was not that good girl, truly persisting without giving in to evil forces and money was far harder than she imagined.
...
Chen Feng knew nothing about Pan Dongliang's situation, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Because in his eyes, both Pan Dongliang and Han Shipei had little to do with him.
Besides, he had his own matters; Hong Xiaodan returned to Xiu Zhou today.
In the morning, he received a voice ssage from Hong Xiaodan saying she had packed her things and was about to set off for Xiu Zhou.
Then, around noon, he received another ssage from her saying that she had arrived in Xiu Zhou.
Ten minutes later, she also sent Chen Feng a few pictures, including so of the inside of the house and her selfies.
From the pictures, the house seed spacious, and the interior was nicely decorated, clearly indicating a well-off family.
After finishing his al, just as he intended to head upstairs to relax, Hong Xiaodan ssaged again, saying that she had settled in and hoped he could co over to et her.
Chen Feng hadn't replied earlier, but upon seeing the ssage now, he responded, saying he would visit her in the afternoon and asked where she was staying.
Hong Xiaodan quickly sent him her mobile location and specific address.
Chen Feng was taken aback when he saw it; her current house was in Bibo Garden, the sa community where he had bought a dedicated house for Liu Ying.
The only solace was that they weren't in the sa building, though not too far apart—Liu Ying was in building C while she was in building E.
That really was quite a coincidence!
Having said he would go, Chen Feng definitely had to pay a visit, if only to deal with his mother's nagging.
Besides, if those two won happened to et in the future and even discovered that the children they were carrying were both his, it still wouldn't matter much to Chen Feng, as neither one was his girlfriend or wife, and he had no deep feelings for either of them, so what was there to worry about?
So, around three in the afternoon, Chen Feng drove to Bibo Garden.
After parking his car in the outdoor parking lot of the community, he got out and walked towards building E, only to unexpectedly run into Liu Ying and her mother walking for exercise after a few steps.
He had no idea why she chose to exercise at this ti.
"Chen Feng, did you co to see ? Why didn't you call first?"
Seeing Chen Feng suddenly, Liu Ying was delighted, with a bright smile spread across her face.
The two hadn't seen each other for a few days; the last ti was at her prenatal check-up when Chen Feng accompanied her to the hospital.
After the good results of the check-up put them both at ease, they hadn't kept in much contact.
Not long ago, she was thinking about when Chen Feng would visit her, hesitating about reaching out to him herself, and then he unexpectedly appeared before her; truly, she got what she wished for.
