Chapter 1443: This Money, Not So Easy to Take

It was obvious that Wang Yaran was blackmailing the old man.

The old man saw it too, and his expression darkened immediately!

Under normal circumstances, the old man would definitely have slapped Wang Yaran to help her sober up!

But the situation was different now; they needed to appease Wang Yaran and make her work for the family obediently...

His eyes darted around, and the old man said in a tone of bestowing charity, "Fine, I'll give you the company's shares."

"Shares are fine, but only cash gives me a sense of security. Grandfather doesn't need to give too much, eight million will do."

Wang Yaran said the number lightly.

But that number made the old man's eyes widen.

He opened his mouth and scolded, "Have you been hit stupid!?"

"Grandfather is right; my brain was indeed beaten into a state of confusion. Sometimes, I don't even know what should be said and what shouldn't."

Wang Yaran leaned against the back of the chair, looking as frail as Lin Daiyu.

Yet the words she spoke made the old man's face turn gloomy with anger!

He gritted his teeth and said, "Eight million is too much, I'll give you one million first!"

One million? Was he trying to brush off a beggar!?

Wang Yaran couldn't be bothered to respond and simply closed her eyes.

"Then... three million!"

Wang Yaran still didn't react.

"Five million, no more than that! Even if we can cooperate with Qin Yiyan, he might not necessarily bring the family that many benefits!"

The old man stated his bottom line.

If Wang Yaran still refused to concede... then he would kick her out right now!

Fortunately, Wang Yaran knew when to stop, and sighed lightly, "Fine, I understand Grandfather's difficulties, so let's leave it at that."

Wang Yaran's aggrieved expression made the old man very furious.

But this money... was not so easy to take!

A cold glint flashed in the old man's eyes.

After he left Wang Yaran's room, he began to arrange an interview.

In this interview, Wang Yaran would disclose an "exclusive" inside story.

She would say that the person who really touched her that night and hurt her was Qin Yiyan!

Qin Chao had only taken the blame to save face for Qin Yiyan.

And the reason Wang Yaran was only telling the "truth" now was because she had been in a dazed state.

She had only just sobered up in the last two days.

Knowing that her family had wronged a "good person," she had arranged the interview and hoped the public would not be misled by incorrect information.

Such an interview was bound to be explosive.

And the facts were indeed so.

Once the news was released, it immediately attracted huge attention.

Everyone had thought this scandal would slowly lose its heat.

And eventually, become just another piece of dramatic history among the wealthy families.

Who would have thought, it actually took such a turn!

How exciting!

However, compared to the pure gossip-mongers, Liu Xin'ai's friends had significantly more complicated feelings.

Cai Xiaotang had been munching on an apple.

But after seeing the phone Jiang Baobao handed over, she even forgot to eat the apple.

She just muttered, "Even trashy soap operas aren't this trashy!"

Jiang Baobao agreed, "It is indeed very trashy."

"Then... will it affect Xin'ai?"

"It shouldn't." Jiang Baobao didn't have much confidence when she said this.

And after a moment of silence, Cai Xiaotang gave a direct negative answer: "The other side is targeting Qin Yiyan; to achieve their goal, would they let Qin Yiyan's wife stay out of it?"

The answer must be... no!

Jiang Baobao's already uneasy heart became even more restless.

Cai Xiaotang was also very worried; she put down the apple, stood up, and said, "Let's go to the entrance of the Liu Family and take a look!"

"Why go to their front door?"

"To see if there are any reporters lurking, of course."

This kind of dramatic news between wealthy families still had a market.

Where there is a market, there will be reporters lurking.

But Liu Xin'ai had had unpleasant experiences before; if she were really harassed by reporters...

The more Jiang Baobao thought about it, the more uneasy she became!

She stood up in a panic, grabbed Cai Xiaotang, and they went out together.

However, when the two of them rushed to the Liu Family, they found...

The front gate was quiet.

Cai Xiaotang scratched her head in confusion and muttered, "Could it be that my deduction was wrong?"

"It wasn't."

Hearing Jiang Baobao's firm words, Cai Xiaotang turned her head, revealing a puzzled expression.

Jiang Baobao signaled for Cai Xiaotang to look toward the corner.

Cai Xiaotang looked closely... and saw several people who looked like bodyguards.

So someone was driving them away.

Cai Xiaotang suddenly realized.

But her eyes darted, and Cai Xiaotang thought of something.

She hurriedly took out her phone to search.

And with this search, she really did find something.

She held the phone up in front of Jiang Baobao, her voice helpless: "These reporters have all run to the Laboratory where Xin'ai works!"

These people...

They really are pervasive!

Jiang Baobao sighed, only feeling a tangled mess in her head.

But now is not the time to panic; she must think of a solution...

Her beautiful eyes swept around, and finally, Jiang Baobao's gaze landed on those black-clad bodyguards.

In an instant, she had an idea!

Jiang Baobao walked straight up to those people and spoke calmly: "Are you Qin Yiyan's people, or the Liu Family's people?"

The men in black were shaken by Jiang Baobao's aura.

Then they replied respectfully: "Mr. Qin asked us to be here to prevent anyone from harassing the Madam."

After hearing this, Jiang Baobao held up Cai Xiaotang's phone: "Then hurry to this address; the people harassing Xin'ai are all there!"

The chaos in the video made the bodyguard frown.

The next second, the other party walked to the side to ask Qin Yiyan for instructions.

After communicating for a few sentences, the bodyguard hung up the phone.

Then he said to Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang: "Thanks for the reminder, we are heading over now!"

As the words fell, the group silently got into a car and quickly disappeared around the corner of the street.

This ability to act is truly decisive.

With them there, they will certainly be able to protect Liu Xin'ai well.

However...

Cai Xiaotang was still uneasy, and she asked: "What about us? Should we go and see the situation too?"

"Of course, Xin'ai must need her friends' support right now!"

The two changed their destination and set off toward the Laboratory.

On the way there, they even thought of several plans to comfort the upset Liu Xin'ai.

However, after meeting with Liu Xin'ai...

That woman was actually eating instant noodles in the lounge!!!

The entrance to the Laboratory had already quieted down again.

The reporters had all been driven away by the Qin Family bodyguards.

The people inside the Laboratory had also returned to calm after the initial excitement and were all going about their business.

And because Liu Xin'ai was a little hungry, she had picked a flavor of instant noodles to eat.

As a result, she was eating happily when she saw Professor Shen leading her two friends to appear before her.

"I just went to make a call and ran into your friends, so I brought them up on the way; you two go ahead and chat."

Professor Shen said this and then walked out of the lounge.

Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang both stared at Liu Xin'ai without blinking.

Liu Xin'ai felt creeped out by their staring.
