Chapter 176 The deal is done, and ten thousand are deposited into the account.
"Was it a last resort?"
Watching Zhou Yong burying copper coins in the ground not far away, I smiled and asked, "What's the reason you have no choice?"
"Wang Sanmu wouldn't budge, no matter how much money I offered, he wouldn't help me. I had no other choice but to ask Zhou Yong!" Li Yuechi said.
"So, Zhou Yong was the one who suggested kidnapping Wang Sanmu's son?" I was a little surprised.
"Um!"
Li Yuechi nodded, waved to Zhou Yong who was looking up at us, and gave him a sweet smile.
"Awesome!"
I smiled at Zhou Yong as well.
Zhou Yong, that guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is also a traitor!
"Without him, how would I know where Wang Sanmu's mistress was hiding, or that Wang Sanmu's favorite was the son born to this mistress?" Li Yuechi smiled as she looked at Zhou Yong, who was working hard.
"Why are you telling us this?" Long Nier asked, a hint of confusion in her voice.
"There are wolves all around, and I can't trust many people!" Li Yuechi said.
"Are we trust them?" I said.
"At least you get paid to do your job!"
Li Yuechi glanced at me sideways and said, "I know about Si Xinqi's matter, and I know about Bai Xiaojun's matter. You two are willing to stand up to Brother Long and Li Wenlong for two unrelated people. For that alone, I believe you!"
"Okay, you've investigated me!" I said with a smile.
"I was forced into this situation!"
Li Yuechi's expression remained unchanged. "Do you really think I like that good-for-nothing Jiang Lianheng?"
"My relationship with him was a conspiracy from the very beginning!"
At this point, Li Yuechi couldn't help but grit her teeth, causing her face to distort and appear unusually ferocious.
She quickly recovered and her signature smile returned to her face.
"A conspiracy?" I looked at her suspiciously.
"I've been tricked by Habib and Lü Jingqiong!" Li Yuechi said.
"Why are they plotting against you?" I asked.
"Lü Jingqiong has wanted a divorce for years, but the Jiang family wouldn't agree. She used me to seduce Jiang Lianheng to achieve her own goals!"
"Harby used this opportunity to get rid of me from Big Lee's side!"
"Those two are both wicked, especially Lü Jingqiong. She made me a lot of promises, saying that if she hooked up with Jiang Lianheng and could give birth to a son or daughter for the Jiang family, the entire Jiang family would be mine!"
Mentioning this, Li Yuechi's face twisted slightly again.
To be honest, Li Yuechi is like a white moonlight to Da Li.
She and Da Li had been on and off for over a decade. No matter how bad things got, as long as Li Yuechi was willing to beg for forgiveness, Da Li would accept her.
The same thing happened last time. After escaping from Beijing and returning to Hong Kong Island, she soon returned to Da Li's arms.
She's complaining about all this now because she was greedy.
On Da Li's side, she has too many competitors, none of whom are easy to get along with.
On the Jiang family side, she didn't have many competitors, and with Lü Jingqiong's help, plus the fact that Jiang Lianheng was a good-for-nothing and his father was old and didn't have many years left, she became hopeful, thinking that as long as she married into the family, she would really be able to control the Jiang family's assets in the future. However, she didn't expect that reality was different from what she imagined.
After Jiang Lianheng divorced her, Lü Jingqiong took advantage of her situation. To gain a foothold in the Jiang family, the first step was to have a child of her own. Unfortunately, Jiang Lianheng was crippled, making it extremely difficult for her to have a child.
As for Da Li, she can't go back either.
First, Habi wouldn't let her come back easily; second, the Jiang family also has a sense of honor. If they just let her go like this, where would the Jiang family's face be?
Therefore, Li Yuechi now has no choice but to go down this path to the bitter end.
"That good-for-nothing Jiang Lianheng! We've been together for a year, and he's always so hesitant about spending money, sometimes I even have to pay out of my own pocket!"
"That old man from the Jiang family is cunning, and his elder brother, Jiang Liangan, is no simpleton either!"
"I must fight for everything myself, I must take it all myself!"
Li Yuechi became more and more agitated as she spoke, and her face became somewhat distorted.
"Using metaphysics to pray for a child only works if your husband Jiang Lianheng is able to. He's not able to right now, so no matter how much you pray, it's useless, right?" Long Nier interrupted Li Yuechi's endless chatter.
"I'm planning to do IVF!" Li Yuechi said.
"Even if he can do IVF, it has to work. He lost a kidney and was poisoned, so he can't have children!" Long Nier said again.
"He can't have children, but his father can!" Li Yuechi said hesitantly.
"Huh?" Long Nier looked puzzled, thinking she had misheard.
Me too.
"His father can have children!" Li Yuechi repeated.
"This will work?" I said.
"What can we do then?"
Li Yuechi countered with a question.
"Does your mother-in-law agree?" I asked.
"agree!"
Li Yuechi nodded and said, "She doesn't want the property to fall into the hands of my uncle, Jiang Lianqian!"
"Why?" I asked.
"Because Jiang Liangan is not her son. My uncle Jiang Liangan is the son of my father-in-law and another man!" Li Yuechi said.
Long Nier and I exchanged a glance, never expecting there to be such a hidden story.
These powerful and influential families were all incredibly chaotic.
"My uncle found out that my mother-in-law killed his mother. Once the Jiang family falls into his hands, none of us on this branch will be able to get away with it!" Li Yuechi continued.
"So, your mother-in-law agreed to let you have children this way, right?" I asked.
"That's right!" Li Yuechi nodded.
"And your husband, doesn't he mind?" I asked.
"I don't mind, they're all from the Jiang family anyway, there's no difference between sons and brothers!" Li Yuechi said.
"Awesome!"
After holding it in for a while, I finally managed to utter two words: "These powerful and wealthy families are so open-minded, they'll do anything about it."
"So what do you plan to have us do?" I asked.
"My health isn't good, and I want you to help me improve it. Even if it's through IVF, I want to give birth to the child myself!" Li Yuechi said.
"Why do you insist on giving birth yourself?" I asked, somewhat puzzled.
This is just the beginning of the IVF surrogacy business, and some celebrities in the industry have already started to take action.
However, they don't give birth themselves; they hire others to give birth to them.
"If it weren't born from my belly, would it be close to me in the future?"
Li Yuechi asked.
"What if someone haunts him in the future and brings back the person who gave birth to him? What will I do then?"
Li Yuechi asked again.
"You've thought this through quite thoroughly!" I said.
After saying that, I thought for a moment and added, "If it's just about conditioning your body, I'll take the job. And don't worry, I won't disclose your situation to anyone. I have that much professional ethics!"
The question is, how much money are you willing to offer?
I looked into Li Yuechi's eyes and said, word by word.
"This number!"
Li Yuechi held up one finger and said, "Ten million!"
Long Nier and I exchanged a glance. She nodded slightly, and I turned to her and said, "Okay, I'll take this job!"
