Just as Cui Deming was cursing Song Yan, there was a knock on the front door which was followed by Song Yan's voice, " I am here, Researcher Cui. Open the door such that we can get over with this, I have brought my brother-in-law as well."
When Researcher Cui heard the voice of Song Yan, he did not dare to delay and rushed out of the room where Cui Deming was lying at once. His eyes fell on the empty living room and he cursed his niece and wife in his head, even when he had told them off, those women they were still trying to wriggle out of this situation!
Was there any other way out?
But he did not have the time to care about the two at the moment, he needed to open the door immediately and invited Song Yan and Fu Shu Chang inside lest they thought that he was turning his nose to the other side.
Researcher Cui opened the door and was overjoyed to see Song Yan, he did not show any ugly expression on his face and invited the two inside. There was no way he could slight Song Yan anymore, " Xiao Shang, Madam Fu please come inside. Treat this as your own house."
Song Yan walked inside the house, as soon as she entered she smelled a putrid scent of rotting flesh and blood but she did not say anything instead she pretended as if she had not seen anything amiss before looking around the living room and raising her eyebrows as she said, " Researcher Cui, it seems as if Miss Cui has no intention of apologising."
Cui Lu Ling was hiding in her room when she heard Song Yan's voice she did not waste a single minute before jumping on her feet and rushing inside the room and locking the door tightly. Apologising? There was no way she was going to apologise to anyone, she was not in the wrong, it was all Song Yan's fault!
She was the one who pretended that she did not know anything and led her by her nose into thinking that Song Yan knew nothing and was only trying to show off. And so what if she said a few harsh words? Was there a need to hang onto them like this? It was just a few words, it's not like she had skinned an inch of Song Yan's skin!
What was more, her uncle had already agreed to return the credits of Fu Shu Chang's works to him what else did she want?
Apologising and calling Fu Shu Chang and her dad? She was not willing to do such a thing!
Old Madam Cui was the same, she did not want to face Song Yan. She hated the Fu family that pretended to be better than them in every scenario, now that her nephew needed the help of someone from the Fu family, how can she be willing to lower her head? Just how many times she had acted haughtily in front of Fu Shu Chang? Asking her to lower her head and apologise for her actions in the past was akin to killing her!
She was not going out and now that Song Yan was here, she had to treat Cui Deming anyway! It was not as if she could walk away after coming to their house without risking her reputation! If she dared to leave, then she will make it such that everyone knew how petty and cruel Song Yan was!
Let's see how that woman will ignore Cui Deming then, surely she will come on her knees to treat Cui Deming, maybe then she will be able to take her words back.
Even though Old Madam Cui was knee-deep while sinking into a swamp she still did not wish to admit defeat!
Researcher Cui cursed his wife in his head as he told Song Yan that his niece and wife were not feeling well but he promised that he will bring them to apologise to Song Yan and Fu Shu Chang as soon as they recovered.
He thought that Song Yan will sympathise with the two if he said that they were sick after taking care of Cui Deming while dying with worry, but Song Yan on the other hand was really calm, she did not say a word when he was speaking and only opened her mouth after he was done speaking.
" If they are sick then I will come later," she did not care whether the two women were sick or not as long as they do not apologise, there was no way she was going to treat them. When Researcher Cui went to stop her, Song Yan raised a hand and said straightforwardly, " Researcher Cui, I came here because I respect you very much. Do not think that just because I am the disciple of Celestial Master Gu, I am not well sought. Even a single trip from me costs people more than ten million yuan. And that is only for examination if I were to treat them then they will have to pay me more than thirty million yuan, I am here for free because you are my brother-in-law's teacher and boss, if not then you would have to stay in the line and ask for an appointment to see me."
With a slight curl of her lips, she rolled her eyes and added, " I do not make a trip lest I receive an advance. You should be considering yourself lucky that I am asking only for you to respect the bet, if not I could have asked for sixty to hundred million yuan, could you have provided to me?"
Researcher Cui felt his forehead throb, he seemed to have understood that Song Yan was warning him. If she was to leave today then the next time he will have to give her both money and an apology!
From where was he going to get sixty million yuan? He might be rich but he was not this rich!
He pursed his lips and then said in a low voice, " Will Second Madam Fu give me a few minutes?"
Song Yan knew that Researcher Cui seemed to have understood what she was trying to say and nodded. " Take as much time as you want, Researcher Cui. As long as I get what I want, I am willing to wait."
