Chapter 428: Zhao Sulan’s Intentions
"Please, give me a way to live," Meng Jingfen pleaded, holding dearly to the satisfying marriage she had finally encountered.
Zhao Sulan stepped aside and laughed, "How else can I give you a way to live? If I really wanted to cut off your lifeline, I could just report you, or tell Meng Lingmei some things."
Meng Jingfen had nothing to say in response. She slumped to the ground and sat there for a while before suddenly having an idea, "Please, could you ask for less money? You have no idea how miserable I am right now. I’ve got a serious stomach illness. Although it’s not immediately fatal, I need a lot of money for medicine. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have lost so much weight so quickly... Please, otherwise I’ll be left with no choice but death."
Zhao Sulan, "..."
Was she really sick?
Zhao Sulan had lost quite a bit of weight herself recently, and the slimming soup from Medicinal Food Hall was very effective—many were using it. She had seen quite a few people who had suddenly lost weight, so when she saw Meng Jingfen’s drastic weight loss, it hadn’t raised any suspicion.
Recalling how she had been injured not long ago and how there were no Medicinal Food Halls or slimming soup in Hai City, it seemed likely that Meng Jingfen could be ill. Hesitating for a moment, Zhao Sulan said, "In that case, I won’t ask for too much. Initially, I was planning to ask you for fifty thousand, but now twenty thousand will do. Otherwise, you can choose to give nothing at all. I’ll go to Meng Lingmei first and then the police station after that."
Meng Jingfen really wanted to haggle on the spot.
