Chapter 1516: Chapter 1516: With a Woman, No Brotherhood
After Ye Jingli finished speaking, she just wanted to leave, but when those men saw that she could actually pull out a million in an instant, they figured since that was the case, they might as well squeeze more out of her.
"Originally, by the old rules, this money of yours would’ve been enough. But what can we do, the brothers are all a bit tight lately, so our work fee’s gone up. Now you’ve gotta pay us two million. If you don’t, you know what the consequences are."
As soon as Ye Jingli heard that, she was so angry her lungs hurt, but she had no way out. She could only pull out another card from her body. She knew what kind of people these were, so she had prepared a lot of money and even split it up.
"This is my last bit of money to stay alive. Since it’s like this, from now on we’re even."
This was also Ye Jingli’s bottom line. But when those men saw that she actually took the money out so readily, they figured there must still be more money on her, so they still wouldn’t let her go. That three million of hers was for living expenses, so there was absolutely no way she was going to hand it over now.
"Oops, sorry, but seeing you’re loaded... Since that’s the case, we just raised the price again. Now we need three million. You’d better just hand it over, so we don’t have to strip search you later. It’ll be ugly for you, and it won’t look good on us either. A woman like you, we don’t even feel like touching, you know."
The leader tilted his head, pestering Ye Jingli nonstop for money. After Ye Jingli had handed over money twice, she finally understood: these people were like a bottomless pit, they were never going to leave. Since that was the case, no matter how much she gave, it was useless.
"I already told you, that’s all the money I have, there’s nothing left. And what I had I’ve already paid you. Right now I’m working in a restaurant, you guys know that, there’s barely any money coming in. So this time, I can only get this much. If you think it’s too little, you can go to the Xiao Family and ask how much they gave me."
After Ye Jingli said this, those men were half in doubt. No way, they thought. The Xiao Family is such a big clan, how could they have given her only this bit of money? So they simply didn’t believe her, and even started searching her body. In the end, Ye Jingli was dragged until she was completely naked, tears just streaming down her face.
"I told you already, I don’t have any more money on me. And everything I had, I’ve already given back to you. I really don’t know how I’m supposed to live now. I’m begging you, just let me go."
Seeing her like that, they knew she really had no money left. But although Ye Jingli wasn’t exactly pretty at this point, well, even a mosquito is still meat.
By the time Ye Jingli walked out of that unfinished building again, she was a complete mess, her whole body disheveled and her legs shaking. She had never imagined that after packaging herself for so long, marrying into a noble, high-class family, she would now be humiliated like this. How could she not be furious?
But there was nothing she could do against these thugs. At least now she could finally leave, and with that three million, it would be enough to live on. As for Xiao Keyu, Ye Jingli had never planned to bother with him anyway.
So after taking a shower outside, Ye Jingli changed into a new outfit, then quietly went back to the villa, keeping a low profile. From now on, no matter what happened, she wasn’t going to just go out anymore. And since she was paying the maids at home, Ye Jingli planned to spend the rest of her life living quietly here.
Those thugs, after their fun, had originally thought there was nothing left on Ye Jingli. But their little henchmen outside saw Ye Jingli heading toward a villa. Even though they couldn’t get into that villa, the moment they saw it they were absolutely furious. They hadn’t expected this woman to dare lie to them.
"Think about it, brothers, we’ve been in this line of work for so long, and now we get played by some woman? How could we possibly swallow that? Since that woman dared to lie to us..."
But when those thugs went over, they couldn’t get in, so they had no way. They squatted outside for a long time; they didn’t find Ye Jingli, but they did spot Xiao Keyu, his hair dyed all sorts of colors, and he looked exactly like a street punk.
The thugs grabbed Xiao Keyu and really wanted to do something to him, but after asking around a few times, they discovered that Xiao Keyu and Ye Jingli were practically at war with each other. So they didn’t plan on getting anything out of Xiao Keyu, but instead directly told him where Ye Jingli was.
Anyway, Xiao Keyu was born by Ye Jingli. Even if she didn’t want to raise him, he was still underage right now, so no matter what, Ye Jingli had to take responsibility.
When someone brought Xiao Keyu to her door, Ye Jingli had a splitting headache. She hadn’t expected this little brat to show up again. But this time she pretended not to know him, acting all crazy and deranged.
"I’m just a young girl, I’ve never had a child. You must be joking."
Seeing her in this state, Xiao Keyu started to get suspicious. Was this woman trying to con people again? But today he was determined to get his money, so he just kicked Ye Jingli.
"You’re putting on this supernatural act again, who are you trying to scare? Other people don’t know you, but I know you inside out. Hurry up and hand over my money. If you don’t give it to me right now, let’s see which one of us comes out on top."
Seeing him like this, Ye Jingli was so furious she could barely breathe. She used to dote on this kid, but now it seemed this brat was here to take her life, trying to grab her money. What a joke.
This money absolutely could not be given to Xiao Keyu. So Ye Jingli directly pretended to faint, but after she woke up, they still checked everything. No matter what, Xiao Keyu was still her responsibility.
After the divorce, Xiao Zhen immediately grabbed a few buddies to go drinking. Those buddies thought he was heartbroken, and they genuinely cared about him.
"Tell me, why are you still hung up on that kind of woman? She put such a big green hat on your head and you still think about her? Are you brain-damaged? Your original wife back then was so beautiful, so elegant, and incredibly virtuous. The few of us were all jealous of you, and what happened? You don’t miss her at all."
"She just died for nothing, and what do you do? You insist on tormenting yourself with a woman like this. Aren’t you going too far? Don’t come to us brothers to talk about her anymore. If you want to talk about that woman, none of us wants to hear it."
"Exactly. Ever since you married that woman, we can’t even come see you. And she actually looked down on us. What’s wrong with us, huh? Do we have ’lowly’ written all over us? She kicked us right out the door."
"Now you finally have your brotherhood back. Before, with that woman around, you didn’t even have friends."
