After returning in vain, Xia Yifan did not dare to let Chu Ningfei know the purpose of her trip, so she called her and told her that she was going out to buy groceries.
Chu Ningfei knew that Xia Yifan had the key in her hand and that she had bought a new car. After thinking about it, she agreed. She just asked her to pay attention to safety and be careful of being followed.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yifan called Lin Wei and asked her to send an employee to help her buy ingredients for hot pot, and she quickly rushed to downtown S.
At 7:30 in the evening, Xia Yifan returned to the Chu family manor. The door was open, so she drove into the yard.
Carrying a large bag of ingredients, she let herself smile and pushed open the white carved door. Before she walked in, she saw a woman sitting in the brightly lit living room, a noble and dignified woman.
This woman, she had seen before, was Chu Lin's wife.
Stunned at the door, Xia Yifan took a quick look and didn't see Chu Ningfei.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Madam Chu, silently, just looking at her, waiting for the other party to ask questions.
It was obvious that Mrs. Chu knew Xia Yifan, and she looked straight at her without speaking.
The two of them looked at each other from a distance of six or seven meters, neither of them wanted to speak first, and neither of them looked away.
The atmosphere was depressing, and the air seemed to have solidified. Xia Yifan's breathing became slower and slower, and his palms were already wet with sweat.
Chu Ningfei, where are you? Why don't you come back?! Your stepmother is coming to trouble me! Come and save me!
When Xia Yifan was calling for help in his heart, Mrs. Chu slowly stood up, her face was cold, her eyes were sharp and she stared at her, and she slowly said: "Miss Xia, you seem to want too much."
Taking a deep breath, Xia Yifan swallowed his saliva. He knew exactly what he meant, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond: "It's okay."
Madam Chu's expression remained unchanged as she took out a check from her handbag and gently placed it on the coffee table, "That's enough this time."
Walking over, Xia Yifan put the ingredients on the coffee table, reached for the check, opened his mouth in pretending to be surprised, and then quietly counted the zeros behind it.
So many! Seven zeros! Twenty million!
Suddenly I remembered that Chu Ningfei said that he needed a lot of money, and he didn't know if 20 million would be enough...
No matter if it is enough, take it first and then talk about it.
"What does Mrs. Chu need me to do? The child has been aborted. I don't know what else I can exchange for so much money." Xia Yifan sipped his saliva, his voice trembled deliberately, and he was in a very good mood.
Why aren't you afraid? Because she is the woman Chu Ningfei loves! Because Chu Ningfei was once her real husband! Because she is not a mistress!
So, she has nothing to feel guilty about.
Think about it, even Chu Ningfei didn't blame her when he knew she took 10 million to take abortion pills. What else does she have to be afraid of?
"Leave Ning Fei." Mrs. Chu looked at Xia Yifan with disdain, said four words slowly, and immediately started to leave.
Xia Yifan thought for a while, chased after her, and handed the check to Mrs. Chu, "I'm sorry, I can't have this."
"Too little?" Mrs. Chu looked back, the disgust in her eyes became even fiercer.
Xia Yifan shook his head and said awkwardly: "I prefer cash."
"Cash? I'm afraid you can't carry it."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. You can just put it on my card." Xia Yifan didn't care at all about the sarcasm in Mrs. Chu's eyes. He immediately ran to get a pen and paper, wrote down his new card number, and handed it to Mrs. Chu with both hands.
Mrs. Chu snorted and took the note, "Get out now!"
