Chapter 1728: Aftereffects of Taking a Young Mistress 2

To prevent the situation from escalating further, Wu Ying grabbed her brother tightly and told the truth: "It's not small, it's not small; it's a townhouse in Royal Dragon Bay, nearly three hundred square meters."

"Royal Dragon Bay?"

"Three hundred square meters?"

The brother and sister-in-law turned their faces faster than flipping a book.

A moment ago their faces were full of rage, but now they immediately smiled like a split pomegranate—unable to close their mouths.

"That's great, that's great, the houses there in Royal Dragon Bay are good, they're all rich people..." Wu Ying's brother's saliva was almost dripping out.

Her sister-in-law began to calculate the price; land in the city center is worth its weight in gold, and Royal Dragon Bay is even more like diamonds set in gold. A house this big is worth at least twenty million.

Goodness, how many years did she even serve the old man?

To have earned a house worth tens of millions, the little sister-in-law really hit the jackpot.

She believed that the little sister-in-law's house was equivalent to her own house.

But a house is a fixed asset; it sits there and cannot be moved, nor can you break off a piece to take away.

She wanted something practical that could be cashed in immediately.

Wu Ying's sister-in-law asked: "Is there anything else? They couldn't have just given you a house and left it at that, right?"

As soon as her sister-in-law spoke, she knew this was preparation to skin her alive.

Not telling the truth wouldn't work, but now, it seemed telling the truth wouldn't work either.

Wu Ying stammered and said nothing, but her brother and sister-in-law were like leeches that had seen blood; once they latched on, they wouldn't let go.

"Speak up, why did you stop?"

"We are all doing this for your own good, don't be ungrateful. Now that your man is gone, we are your closest kin. If you don't rely on your maiden family, who else can you rely on?"

"A brother and sister-in-law wouldn't harm you. Hurry up and tell us, who doesn't know the Jian Family has vast wealth? They want to dismiss you with just one house? No way..."

The greedy faces of her brother and sister-in-law were exposed in full view.

Wu Ying reluctantly told the truth: "They also give me ten thousand yuan a month for living expenses." She was afraid that once she said it, her brother and sister-in-law would come to collect her living expenses every month.

But she didn't expect that her brother and sister-in-law wouldn't be satisfied: "Only ten thousand yuan a month? That's too little."

Wu Ying said: "It would be normal for them to not give me a single cent. That house is worth over twenty million, and I've only been here a few years. One shouldn't be too greedy."

"You are truly stupid. Think about it, a big house has high expenses too. You won't even be able to afford the monthly property management fees and utilities. Living in such a big house, wouldn't he have left you an extra few tens of millions?"

A few tens of millions?

Wu Ying gasped; her brother and sister-in-law had quite the appetite.

The couple was indignant and muttered in low voices: "Rich people are full of tricks. They just want to buy you off with these small favors to stabilize you for now. Later, when you can't afford to live in such a house, they'll take it back, give you a smaller one, or just kick you out. It sounds good now, but who will know when the time comes..."

Before they finished speaking, Jian Yining came over, and the brother and sister-in-law sheepishly shut their mouths.

Jian Yining just walked past them without even glancing at her brother and sister-in-law. He respected Wu Ying, his stepmother, but he knew her brother and sister-in-law's eyes were darting around; he didn't need to think to know they were up to no good.

Fortunately, no incidents occurred during Jian Xiansheng's funeral.

After the funeral ended, Wu Ying's brother and sister-in-law still wouldn't leave.

They used the excuse of wanting to stay with their sister for a while to keep her from being lonely and afraid.

The couple was like a broken record, nagging in Wu Ying's ear endlessly.

"Sister, tell your sister-in-law the truth, did the old man really not leave you a fixed sum of money?"

"He didn't."

"Sigh, you really are stupid. His family is so rich; if they just let a little bit leak through their fingers to you, you could live off it for eight lifetimes without spending it all. Yet they dismissed you with just a house? No way."

"Exactly, the Jian Family has so much money, they should have at least given you a few hundred million. Then your brother and sister-in-law could share in the glory."

Wu Ying said angrily: "Are you finally telling the truth? You just want to fish for benefits from me. Don't even think about it."

Her brother and sister-in-law, of course, would not give up.

Every day they brainwashed her: "Silly sister, how much could we even fish for? We'd still be living off your leftovers and looking at your face. The biggest benefit is your son."

"Think about it, Yuhang is already in his third year of high school, a big young man. In a few years, he'll be an adult. It's so hard for college graduates to find jobs now; aren't you preparing money for him to start a business or open a company?"

"And then there's marriage and having children; which of those doesn't cost money? In today's society, if you have money you're a master, if you don't you're a grandson. Don't you want your son to live with his head held high? Or do you want him to live as miserably as you do..."

These words finally reached Wu Ying's heart.

She fell into deep thought.

The words were crude but true; her brother and sister-in-law had a point.

She had already deeply tasted the bitterness of having no money, and she didn't want her son to suffer the same fate!

She could disregard herself, but her son was her everything; he was her life.

For her son, what bottom line?

Conscience.

Everything could be cast aside and ignored.

Besides, her brother and sister-in-law were right; she couldn't go out to work during this time because she had to take care of the child.

With ten thousand yuan in monthly living expenses, after deducting property management, utilities, and the child's schooling, there wasn't much money left.

The scales in her heart began to tilt. Seeing this, her brother and sister-in-law whispered in her ear, and she nodded with difficulty, agreeing.

Before Jian Xiansheng's seventh-day memorial had even passed, Jian Yixin and her younger brother received a court summons.

It was a petition from their stepmother, Wu Ying, demanding a redistribution of the inheritance, which the court had accepted.

Upon receiving the court summons, Jian Yixin was so angry that she knocked a high-quality purple clay teapot off the coffee table, shattering it into pieces.

"Shameless, shameless, shameless!"

"I've seen shameless people, but never anyone this shameless. The house in Royal Dragon Bay is conservatively estimated at over twenty million; is she still not satisfied?"

"She's asking for the moon, and she actually went to court to sue us? Fine, I'll make sure she doesn't get a single cent!"

Jian Yining advised his sister: "Why don't we just give her some money and be done with it? After all, she did serve our dad, and we aren't short of that little bit of money."

"No."

Jian Yixin refused decisively.

"That woman is just like a snake trying to swallow an elephant with her insatiable greed; if we agree easily this time, she will only be more excessive next time, and by then, the two of us siblings

will become her cash cow and be blackmailed by her for a lifetime."

"Taking her to court, who is afraid of whom? We have the best Lüshi, we won't lose."

Jian Yining said that if the matter blows up, it won't be good for anyone, and our reputation is also important.

"We each control a group company; the slightest disturbance will affect the group's reputation and affect tens of thousands of families, Sister, don't be stubborn."

Jian Yixin said: "If you are afraid of your reputation being damaged, then you withdraw, and I will be the only one to fight the lawsuit with her. I will take the lead, I am not afraid. I just cannot encourage this kind of arrogant behavior; if a tiger doesn't show its might, they treat me like a sick cat."
