359: Ten billion yuan

Ten billion yuan

Madam Xi's voice was cold, "Tell me, what must I do for you to leave my son? How much do you want? Give me a number. As long as you don't ask for too much, I can satisfy you."1

Her tone was full of sympathy.

Qin Yan's heart sank. So Madam Xi was here to persuade her to leave Xi Ting. Qin Yan was shocked for a moment, but she quickly calmed down.

She kept quiet for a while, looked at Madam Xi, and said calmly, "Mom, are you kidding me? Xi Ting and I don't have any relationship problems. Why should I leave him?"

Madam Xi's expression darkened. She glared at Qin Yan for a few seconds before saying coldly, "Don't play dumb with me. Don't pretend that you don't understand what I'm saying."

She continued, "Let me tell you clearly, I won't accept you. Ah Ting's other half can't possibly be a woman like you. If you still have some self-awareness, you can get a huge sum of money, enough for you to live a luxurious life."

Madam Xi glared at Qin Yan, "If you still want to cling onto Ah Ting and fantasize about something that doesn't belong to you, then the final outcome might be nothing. I advise you to be smart."

Qin Yan pursed her lips at Madam Xi's arrogance, "Mom, I didn't coax Xi Ting to be with me. He was the one who suggested it. I've never thought of harassing him. I'm with him because I like him and want to be with him."

"So, you're saying that you don't want to break up with him?" Madam Xi's tone and expression suddenly turned colder. The hostility in her eyes was overwhelming.

Qin Yan wasn't afraid at all, "Mom, I'm sorry. I won't break up with him. Unless he betrays me and doesn't want me anymore, I won't leave him. I'll always be by his side."

"Qin Yan!" Madam Xi slammed her hand on the table, "Do you think I'm here to discuss this with you? There's no room for negotiation. You have to leave my son no matter what."

Madam Xi was very assertive.

Qin Yan didn't back down. She looked at Madam Xi and repeated what she'd just said, "Mom, I'm still the same as before. I can't leave him. Xi Ting and I don't have any relationship problems, nor are there any other problems. We get along very well and care for each other. I like being with him, and I want to stay by his side for a long time. I really can't agree with your request."

"You like him?" Madam Xi's eyes were filled with anger as she sneered, "Do you like my son or his status? Don't think I don't know what women like you think. Aren't you just trying to use your relationship to change your social status? Do you want a sparrow to become a phoenix? If he didn't have money and power, would you still like him? You used your looks to charm my son and coax him to be with you. Don't you think that you're being shameless by doing this?"

Madam Xi got angrier as she spoke. The disgust and disdain in her eyes were evident. She was no longer as elegant and refined as before. She didn't look like the elegant and dignified Madam Xi at all.

Qin Yan tightened her grip on the table. She took a deep breath and kept quiet for a few seconds.

She then looked up at Madam Xi, who was about to fly into a rage, and said softly, "Mom, I've said it before, I didn't lie to him to make him stay with me. Xi Ting is an adult, not a child who doesn't know anything. I'm sure you know your son's personality better than anyone else. Do you think I could have tricked him into being with me if he didn't do it willingly?"

"You…"

Madam Xi felt that she had never seen such a shameless woman.

She was so angry that her fingers were shaking as she reached for the coffee cup on the table, "Don't speak nonsense to me. I'm trying to talk you out of it, but you won't listen. Do you really want me to hit you? Qin Yan, let me ask you one last time, are you going to leave Ah Ting?"

"If you agree to break up with him, I won't mistreat you. I'll give you money, a house, a car, and jewelry. I can guarantee that you won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. If you want to get married, I can help you pick a young talent in the upper-class society. Even if that man isn't as outstanding as Ah Ting, he would definitely be a dragon among men."

At this point, Madam Xi felt that her conditions were good enough. If Qin Yan still didn't agree, then she really didn't know how to appreciate favors. She wouldn't mind teaching her a lesson.

"These conditions are already generous enough. I'm giving you preferential treatment only because you've been with my son for a while. Qin Yan, you have to be sensible. If you reject me again, you'll really anger me."

Madam Xi sounded threatening, "Do you think it's difficult to deal with a little girl like you? Even Ah Ting can't stop me if I want to deal with you."

For some reason, Qin Yan felt like laughing. She was furious at first. But now, she just found it funny.

She smiled and said, "Mom, these conditions are not enough to move me. Xi Ting will give me everything you promised, and even more. I really can't think of any reason to break up with him."

Madam Xi was stunned and asked with a darkened expression, "Then, what exactly do you want to do to leave Ah Ting? Qin Yan, are you trying to make things difficult for me?"

Qin Yan smiled again. "If you can satisfy one condition of mine, I can consider leaving him."

"What?"

"Give me 10 billion yuan. I believe this amount of money is nothing to the Xi family. So, if Mom can give me 10 billion yuan, I will consider the break up."

"What did you say?" Madam Xi widened her eyes in disbelief.

Qin Yan smiled and repeated her words.

This time, Madam Xi heard it clearly. Her expression was awful, "10 billion? You're too greedy. What makes you think you're worth 10 billion?"

The Xi family could afford 10 billion yuan. But this was the first time Madam Xi met a girl like Qin Yan. She actually dared to ask for 10 billion yuan.

Why would she do that! Her original plan was to give Qin Yan a few hundred million yuan. This amount of money was enough for her to live a good life. But she didn't expect Qin Yan's appetite to be so huge.

Moreover, although Madam Xi never lacked money, she couldn't just casually fork out 10 billion yuan.

"Mom, it's not that I think I'm worth 10 billion yuan, but your son is worth 10 billion yuan. Didn't you want me to leave him? I've already stated my condition. As long as you can do it, I'll leave him. Isn't your son's freedom worth 10 billion?"

Madam Xi was speechless. She was too angry to speak. How could there be such a shameless woman! What kind of woman did her son love!

Qin Yan saw that Madam Xi was so angry that her chest was shaking. She didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, she felt a little better.

She wasn't a good person, to begin with. If others treated her well, she would treat them well too. But if others didn't treat her well, she didn't have to be so nice to them.

No matter what she did, Madam Xi wouldn't like her. She had even threatened her to leave Xi Ting. She didn't want to respect such a mother-in-law anymore.

Didn't Madam Xi want her to leave Xi Ting? In that case, she'd just ask for too much. Qin Yan knew that Madam Xi wouldn't agree to it. She was just trying to spite her.

As expected, Madam Xi turned green with anger when she heard her condition. Didn't she say she was doing everything for Xi Ting's money? Then, she'd just be a woman who only cared about money.

"Mom, think about it," Qin Yan pressed the service bell on the table, and a waiter soon came over.

After asking for the bill, Qin Yan took out the black card that Xi Ting had given her and handed it to the waiter under Madam Xi's angry gaze.

She then smiled and said to Madam Xi, "You've come all the way to meet me, I'll treat you to the coffee. I still have some matters to attend to, so I won't stay with you any longer. Please consider my conditions carefully. I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible because I might change my mind after today."
