Chapter 140: Clearing Her Name (1)
Luo Zhiquan had just returned to Waterside Residences from the office and Luo Xinya hurriedly held onto his arm smilingly.
Luo Zhiquan stared at Luo XInya and asked, “What do you need three million yuan for? Didn’t I just give you some allowance this month? Why are you suddenly asking for so much money?”
Luo Xinya smiled awkwardly and held onto his arm to walk towards the restaurant. “Father, Ou Lixue and I are friends at the end of the day. She’s an only child and now that she has passed away, I’d like to give some money to her parents so that they can have a better life.”
Luo Zhiquan stared at her apprehensively and asked, “Don’t you still bear a grudge against her for exposing your secrets? Besides, isn’t three million yuan a little too much? Can’t you just give her 1 million yuan?”
Luo Xinya’s face grew sullen and she immediately forced a lopsided smile. “Father, Ou Lixue is already dead. There’s no point in harping on about the past. Besides, things are getting expensive and three million yuan is not considered much. One million would make us seem like we’re miserly… ”
Luo Zhiquan was a prideful person and hence, did not want to seem miserly. He immediately whipped out his checkbook and signed a check of three million yuan. “Take it. Don’t let others belittle us.”
Luo Xinya grabbed the cheque and happily planted a kiss on his cheek. “Thank you, Father!”
Grinning widely from ear to ear, she turned around and made her way upstairs. Upon returning to her bedroom, she closed the door and her face turned sullen. She then quickly placed the call.
“The money will be transferred to your account tomorrow. You’d better disappear like you said you would!”
