Chapter 369: Demanding One Million in Hush Money

“What do you mean by that?”

“Your whole family conspired against my sister, and over the years, shifted the blame onto my niece, bullying her as a family. And now that I’ve discovered this secret, how big would you say my victory is?”

Chi Ya was a bit panicked, scolding sharply, “Stop talking nonsense, all of that was fake just now!”

Lin Meiqi was unscrupulous and certainly not afraid of her, “Oh, Miss Chi, anything you call false is false? I’m calling it true. Anyway, now that I know this secret, if you give me one million, I might consider keeping my mouth shut. What about that, isn’t this a profitable cooperation?”

“One million, you sure have the gall to ask for that!” Chi Ya snarled viciously, “I’m not going to give you the money, dream on!”

“Not going to give it, huh? Fine by me, I’ll just take the news to the police then. Or maybe I should tell the media? I think a Gossip Magazine would definitely offer me one million…” she drawled, acting like she was about to hang up the phone.

Chi Ya, still young and impatient, immediately called out to her, “Wait, I’ll give you one million, and you’ll keep your mouth shut then?”

Hearing that she was willing to pay, Lin Meiqi’s tone turned sycophantic, “Of course, as long as Miss Chi Ya pays, my mouth will be absolutely sealed, I won’t tell anyone. Including my niece.”

Heh, even if she wanted to tell Chi Enen, Chi Enen wouldn’t be able to hear!

Chi Ya’s eyes darkened with shadows, “Fine, I’ll give you one million. I’ll transfer it to your account tomorrow, but you must remember what you’ve promised me. If you leak it…”

“I won’t, absolutely won’t,” Lin Meiqi promised faster than a fart, “Miss Chi, you go on with your business, I’m hanging up now. I’ll be waiting for your money tomorrow.”

The dial tone sounded from the mobile phone, and Chi Ya collapsed into the chair, her strength draining away.

Suddenly, a deep male voice came from behind, “Xiao Ya, what are you doing?”

Chi Ya got startled, her hand slipped, and the phone fell to the ground. She hurriedly picked it up, her eyes frantic as she called out, “Uncle.”

The person who had come up was Gu Qiao’an.

He had just sent Gu Qiaomei away.

“Mhm,” Gu Qiao’an responded, settling into the swivel chair. He reached out and lovingly stroked Chi Ya’s head, saying, “Xiao Ya, don’t worry, I’ve already made the arrangements for you. You’ll get at best a suspended sentence. Wait half a year, and I’ll see about getting the suspension removed.”

Chi Ya, hearing she wouldn’t have to go to prison, was joyful and grabbed his arm, “Really?”

“Really. When has your uncle ever lied to you?” Gu Qiao’an had now transferred all the affection he had for his younger sister to this niece, wishing he could give her the stars and the moon, “By the way, weren’t you saying that you wanted to teach that illegitimate daughter a lesson? I’ve already had her brought here. When the time comes, you can take your time getting revenge on her!”

Chi Ya instantly hugged his neck, cheering, “Thank you, Uncle, you’re always the best to me.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I’m your uncle, of course I’m good to you. But don’t tell your mom that I pulled you out of the police station to hide at my place, or else she’ll start nagging at me again.”

“Mm, I know.”

Chi Ya, now consumed with thoughts of finally getting her hands on Chi Enen to seek revenge, had already cast the shocking secret she had just learned to the back of her mind, focused only on waiting for her chance at retribution.

Chi Ya clenched her teeth; when all was said and done, everything was because of that troublemaker; if only she didn’t exist…

But before that, she needed to ensure Lin Meiqi kept her mouth shut!
