Ji Mengran raised her hand and gestured the number of two.
Two hundred million yuan.
This price was higher than Ji Nuan expected. The plot of land that she took as a burden had become a âfat piece of meatâ in Ji Mengranâs eyes. It seemed that Ji Nuan could use her âprediction abilityâ to trap her so-called sister.
Ji Nuan smiled coldly and didnât agree. âYou know the prices of all the lands the MN Group has purchased have multiplied, but our company doesnât have much energy to run real estate projects. Whatever your relationship is with me right now, for the sake of the fact that we grew up together, I can give you the land. Add another fifty million and the land is yours. Otherwise, just forget it.â
Ji Mengran said unhappily, âYou want a 25 percent rise of the price? How could you say, âfor the sake of the fact that we grew up togetherâ? Are you trying to trap me?â
âIf you think Iâm trapping you, you can just get up and go. No one will stop you. Let me remind you, it was you who came to ask to buy this plot of land. I donât drive you out just for the sake of father and the Ji family. Did you expect me to sell the land to you at a loss? Did you forget how much I dislike you? You should be grateful that Iâm willing to sell it to you. What else do you want?â Ji Nuan said with a cold smile.
Ji Mengranâs face darkened. âOur studio has acquired a lot of land in the past two months. All the working capital has been paid out, and now we can only pay 200 million. You know, Dad doesnât care about me these years. He doesnât care if Iâm short of money. Canât you just waive the fifty million yuan for the sake of the Ji family?â
Ji Nuan sneered. âYou can turn to your Brother Sheng for help.â
Although Sheng Yihan was willing to give her money, he hadnât been around lately. Ji Mengran didnât want to tell Ji Nuan that she hadnât seen Sheng Yihan for half a month.
Ji Mengran thought for a while and said, âBy the way, you were out on a business trip and didnât come back to the Ji family to visit Dad during the Dragon Boat Festival. Why donât you go back to accompany him if you have time lately? How can you have the cheek to say, âfor the sake of Fatherâ? I think since you learned that you had no blood relationship with the Ji family, you no longer take yourself as a member of the Ji family or take us as your family.â
Ji Mengran knew that Ji Nuan was impatient with her. âIâll consider the fifty million yuan. Iâll give you an answer in two days at most.â With that, she got up and was about to leave.
If she hadnât thought that plot of land would be very profitable, she wouldnât have risked coming to Ji Nuan herself. But Ji Nuanâs attitude was better than she expected. She wasnât sure what Ji Nuan was thinking of, though. After all, Ji Mengran had known that although Ji Nuan looked vulnerable, she was never the right person to mess around with. The longer she stayed here, the more she would lose. No matter what, she would get that plot of land anyway.
Suddenly Ji Mengran paused and turned to look at Ji Nuan. âBy the way, Sister, you were really on the limelight at the dinner party of Lin Xiao Group. No one would expect that you would show up as Xiao Luyeâs female companion. Iâm really curious. How did you manage to hook up with Mr. Xiao besides CEO Mo? There are millions of beautiful women in the world, but no one is as good at bewitching men like you!â
Ji Nuan recalled the conversation of Mr. Xiao and his son at the dinner party. She had suspected something, but she had not sought proof, nor had she had time to get in touch with the people of the Xiao family.
She just glanced at Ji Mengran and coldly smiled. âNot just the Mo family and the Xiao family. I beat you also in the Ji family, remember?â
Ji Mengranâs face immediately darkened. âNo matter what, Ji Hongwen is my biological father, and we have blood ties. Who do you think you are? You donât even know where your biological father is or whose blood is on you!â
âReally? But in your biological fatherâs eyes, which daughter does he want more? You know the answer, right?â Ji Nuan still smiled calmly but her eyes were cold. To be honest, she didnât want to bother to quarrel with Ji Mengran.
After all, a person like Ji Mengran wasnât worth her energy.
Ji Mengranâs face went stiff. She came here today for that land and couldnât lose it because of the quarrel with Ji Nuan, so Ji Mengran suppressed her inner anger and forced a smile. âSister, please waive the fifty million yuan for the sake that you took my father from me.â
Ji Nuan answered coldly, âFamily can be used as a bargaining chip for you. You are really mercenary.â
Ji Mengran sneered. âFamily? Dad is clearly planning to make you, an outsider, the inheritor of the Ji family. If I donât seize the day to pave the way for my future and save some money for myself, do I have to beg you for money in the future? Even if I beg you, will you give me any penny from the Ji familyâs property?â
Ji Nuan raised her eyebrows and laughed. âYouâre right.â
Ji Mengran drew a long face and turned to walk away. Before walking out of the MN Group, she looked around. The high-end office buildings and corporate image hurt her self-esteem. When she thought that Ji Nuan was more excellent than her in every single aspect, she was even angrier as if someone was chasing after her, and quickly disappeared from the MN Group.
Ji Nuan returned to her office. Xiao Ba knew that Ji Nuan was on bad terms with Ji Mengran, so she didnât mention that person but bought her the backlog of documents that Ji Nuan should sign. She leaned over the desk, watching Ji Nuan rummage through the papers and observing her expression.
âWhy do you keep looking at me?â Ji Nuan glanced at her.
Xiao Ba chuckled. âIâm looking at my boss, who is re-nourished by love these days. So, do you and CEO Mo really re...ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ji Nuan unfurled the documents in front of her, looking as though she was going to work on them quickly and not at all ready to gossip. âIf you think working in Hai City is too easy and youâre so idle that you think about crap all day long, I donât mind sending you out on business. Then youâll be busy traveling around and wonât have time to disturb me with your burning gossip soul.â
Xiao Ba. â...â She immediately shut up.
Boohoo, her gossiping soul was snuffed out by a basin of cold water! So sad!
