Chapter 414: Locked Up Again
"You think I don’t want to?" Qin Xiangmei spoke, her teeth clenched in anger, "He Juan absolutely wouldn’t give me the screen, claiming it had already been sold overseas. She offered me 1,000 yuan, and I ultimately offered her 5,000 yuan, but she was still unwilling."
Initially, Qin Xiangmei was thinking of settling for 1,000 yuan, no, 500 yuan, but He Juan simply wouldn’t budge. Later on, she gradually increased her offer to 5,000 yuan, hoping to make some profit for herself. However, He Juan was still unwilling. Qin Xiangmei even considered increasing her offer further, but she felt it was a loss and didn’t add more. Instead, she waited for Qin Guohua and his wife to step in, but to no avail. With just a few words, they were frightened by that girl and ran out. Now, Qin Xiangmei’s return to the Siheyuan was still unresolved.
"Who is this shameless cretin trying to cheat our family? Come on, Xiang Mei, come with mom. Let’s get that screen back. Once we have 100,000 yuan, we can buy whatever we want, even a house in the Capital City, and I’ll cook delicious meals for you every day."
Hu Li was resolute, unable to gain an advantage over Qin Xiangyang but certainly not leaving empty-handed.
Not even ten cents worth of cheating would work, let alone 100,000 yuan.
Qin Xiangnuan couldn’t care less about these matters; they were none of her concern. She only knew that Hu Li had found He Juan and spat a storm of curses pointing at her. Perhaps because she had spent so much time cursing Qin Xiangnuan, she thought it okay to curse anyone, lash out on anyone, regardless of whether they came from her womb. Eventually, He Juan’s parents also arrived, bona fide Capital City residents with seemingly good family circumstances. Just the flick of their fingers had already made a mockery of Hu Li.
There’s a saying that even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Moreover, Hu Li and Qin Guohua were far from being powerful dragons. Both families caused a huge ruckus at the school. Hu Li had used every trick she knew since childhood—spitting, rolling on the ground; she used everything. However, He Juan’s mother was even tougher, calling the police directly, which led to police inviting Qin Guohua and Hu Li to the station.
Qin Guohua was terrified. He didn’t feel much the last time Hu Li was taken in because it wasn’t him, but this time they were truly brought in. He desperately begged for mercy, repeatedly asserting that their son was a student at a military academy.
However, when the household registration was checked, there was no son in a military academy—just an irresponsible son who was currently in a village, struggling even to find a hot meal.
