Chapter 1148 You have to help me, Brother.
Xue Ping calmed down and then immediately smiled gently before saying in a soft voice, " Brother Jinfu, it's not that I am being ungrateful. It is Madam Song, she asked me to add another hundred million on top of the eighty million that we have paid her for her work. She said that because of me, she had to make an extra round at the abandoned warehouse and thus wanted me to pay for it. When I refused she said a bunch of ugly things to me. It made me angry."
Ji Zhuang Guang's expression remained the same while the other two brothers's expressions changed slightly. They looked at one another before turning to look at Ji Zhuang Guang, the two of them understood their brother much better than Xue Ping who did not even know much about Ji Zhuang Guang.
The two brothers knew the more silent Ji Zhuang Guang became the more disappointed he was and sure enough they heard Ji Zhuang Guang say, " Ziyi, are you sure that this is what Madam Song said to you? Maybe there was a misunderstanding." After all, they all heard what Ji Ziyi said to Song Yan and what Song Yan said to Ji Ziyi, there was no need to hide anything!
However, Xue Ping did not know that Song Yan was already on guard against her. She thought that like the three Ji brothers, she had fooled Song Yan into believing that she was the real Ji Ziyi and thus she was quite complacent. Xue Ping nodded and then sadly said, " I am sure. Madam Song really said such things to me. Even when I said to her that we had been respectful enough by giving her the hot springs and the land where industries were going to be developed she wanted to leech even more money from me. And when I refused she scolded me and said that she will never help me in changing my luck and that I deserve to live a rotten life."
As she finished speaking, Xue Ping even shed a few tears.
In the past, the Ji brothers would have rushed to coax her but now that they were seeing her cry like this, they could not help but feel a bit conflicted. Their sister… she was a really good actor.
She could actually turn black into white and present it so beautifully in front of them. If they had not received the recording from Song Yan, they would have thought that what Xue Ping was saying was the truth! And they might have even offended Song Yan.
What was more, who was Song Yan? She was the second daughter-in-law of the Fu family! Was she someone who would make a fuss for a hundred million yuan? She even returned the eighty million that she took!
Ji Zhuang Guang's face was a bit unsightly after he finished listening to the things that his sister said to him. He really could not believe that his sister was being this ungrateful, no matter what Song Yan said or did, she was the one who saved them from that malicious ghost. What was more they were the ones who made the mistake first by opening the door for that malicious ghost.
Even if Song Yan asked for another hundred million. It was something that she deserved! After all, she was the one who had to make several rounds to save them, who knows how she found them? If she wanted she could have left them on their own because she was not the one at fault, she already warned them that they should not open the door and yet they opened it.
No matter what kind of unsavoury and ruthless methods he used in the corporate world, Ji Zhuang Guang was not the kind of person who would do something so ungrateful.
Ji Zhuang Guang wanted to scold his sister but when he thought about how she was a young adult she might get upset if he said something too unsettling to her. In fact, he would have loved to tell Ji Ziyi that they already knew the truth but he knew that it would only push Ji Ziyi even more and she would blame Song Yan again.
He pursed his lips and then said, " Ziyi, it does not matter. Even if Madam Song asked for a hundred million yuan, she deserves it. After all, she is the one who had to look for us in the middle of the night, have you ever thought how hard it might have been for her? And she is the wife of the richest man, I don't think she would quibble with you for a hundred million."
Though he did not tell the truth, Ji Zhuang Guang subtly gave Ji Ziyi a chance to come clean with him.
However, Ji Zhuang Guang underestimated Xue Ping. She pursed her lips and then looked at Ji Zhuang Guang before saying, " Brother are you my brother or hers? Why are you standing up for that Song woman? Do you really think that she came to save me? I am telling you that it wasn't the case. She was upset with me for the small troubles that she had to face during the shooting and she used this opportunity to take revenge on me. If she had stayed with me then I would have never suffered how I suffered that night.?I am just eighteen. It's fine if I make a mistake, I am still learning but what about her? She is a grown woman and yet she refused to stay with me and left. She is just a selfish and conceited person who couldn't care less about anyone else."
Seeing that Ji Zhuang Guang's expression was not good, Xue Ping said indifferently,?" Brother don't tell me that you have fallen for that woman. Why are you speaking up for her? She did not even help your sister by changing her luck." When Xue Ping thought about how her luck was running out, she could not help but say,"?Brother, you have to help me! I cannot live like this! Help me change my luck."
