Chapter 68 - He Is Priceless

"How could you say something so shameless!", spat Wang Hualing with contempt. 

She had a hard time believing that instead of behaving like a virtuous woman and denying the money Wang Hualing offered, this woman actually said it was-it was too low?!

At least try to look like a decent woman!

Just what kind of woman had Li Luxian married to?

Chen Yi snickered, aware of what was going through Wang Hualing's mind: "I am the shameless one here? Ms. Wang, once you manage to get married to President Li, wouldn't your profits exceed this measly Hundred Million? What I demanded is only fair." A provocative smile appeared upon her lips.

Wang Hualing froze. "You-" 

"Why? Ms. Wang assumed I wouldn't know?" Chen Yi sonorous voice said, irritating Wang Hualing,

Wang Hualing, as the Young Mistress of the Wang family, had never felt this much anger at anyone.

"Chen Yi, you know you don't deserve Li Luxian. I know your background." Wang Haling said slowly. Then she forced a relatively amicable expression on her face. "Although you were abandoned by your Uncle, your parents were relatively decent. I believe you won't be like those greedy temptresses. Li Luxian and I are childhood sweethearts and have mutual feelings. We both are women. Why can't you humbly back off while accepting what I offer understanding my feelings as a woman?" After saying this, her expressions changed slightly, her tone holding an edge of warning "Do you think other people would accept you easily? Sooner or later, you would have to leave his side. Listen to me. What I'm offering is best in your regards." Wang Hualing used a unique combo of encouragement and threats to persuade Chen Yi.

If it situation was as Wang Hualing had expected and she was faced with someone else, her tactic might have worked.

But how could Wang Hualing have guessed that the 'Li' family had already started giving its approval to Chen Yi?

"Didn't Ms. Wang just say that Li Luxian married me just to avoid marriage with you? I wonder what kind of childhood sweethearts would go to an extent to marry someone else just not to get married to his childhood sweetheart." Chen Yi nonchalantly said.

"That doesn't concern you!" Wang Hualing's patience was wearing off. Chen Yi's words precisely hit someone's never. "Li Luxian was just not ready for the marriage. He has feelings for me. He has just not realized it yet. Regardless, he would divorce you after a time limit of a year. do you think during that time the Li family would let you off?"

Actually, Wang Hualing was so confident that Chen Yi would accept her offer because she believed that Elder Li and Li Guang must have already given her a hard time. So right now, Chen Yi must have been disheartened, wanting to back out of this situation.

Chen Yi gazed at Wang Hualing. She was getting a deeper understanding of what Li Luxian meant by his fiancee being... a bit eccentric. 

Regardless, she said with a smile. "Li Luxian told me he would not let anyone in his family bully me. Ms. Wang doesn't need to concern herself about that."

"What did you say?" Wang Hualing's pupils shrank.

Until now, Wang Hualing firmly believed that this woman and her Li Luxian had a relationship that of strangers. But if he told her he would not let anyone bully her, didn't that mean their relationship was stronger?

Could it be that this woman really held some importance in Li Luxian's heart?

Anxiety and jealousy crept into her heart. A second later, she denied it.

No this was impossible!

Wang Hualing snorted. "I know you don't like me but you do not have to tell such obvious lies. I know Li Luxian since we were little. Since he married you only to avoid his marriage with me, he would treat you like a stranger. Why would he need to assure you that he would not let anyone bully you?"

Chen Yi shrugged. Whether this Wang Hualing believed her or not was not her concern. "You can ask him for yourself. I am sure he would eagerly explain to you since you both are 'childhood sweethearts'" Chen Yi stressed upon the words 'Childhood Sweethearts' to make her sarcasm clear as she made her way out.

However, the person before her had too thick skin to grasp Chen Yi's implications. Wang Hualing blocked Chen Yi's path. "Fine, it's a hundred Billion you want? I will have it transferred to your accounts. But afterward, you must come in front of the media and take the blame for seducing Li Luxian and breaking us apart. Not only that, but you must also fly aboard and never show your disgusting face in front of Li Luxian again!" said Wang Hualing in contempt.

Chen Yi frowned at her. This Wang Hualing must be really desperate.

"Actually that Hundred Billion was just the basic amount. What charges come for me to give up on someone as outstanding as Li Luxian, you can't afford it." Chen Yi thought of the time when she was engulfed in his hug. All the worries in her world would vanish just like that. Could there be a price to such feelings, such emotions? The answer was no.

"What do you mean?" Wang Hualing's lips twitched. She had hardly managed to persuade her heart to hand over such a huge amount to this wench. And now she was claiming it was not enough?

"It's not that Li Luxian worth can't be amounted in money. It's just that all the money in the entire world is insufficient to lure me into giving him up." 

A fancy way to say that she would not give him up no matter what.

"You will regret this!' Once Wang Hualing realized she had been played, she felt like exploding. The only reason she was not already attacking and clawing at this wench was that they were in the Li Manor. After she lost her temper last time in front of the "Li' family, her reputation had already suffered.

She didn't want to repeat the mistake.

"I will wait to see what you have up your sleeves." Chen Yi flashed her a smug smile.

While Wang Hualing's heart surged with blazing anger, an opportunity already presented itself. She saw Li Luxian making his way downstairs.. Her eyes flashed with a malevolence.
