That night, Gu Liu sent a recording. The recording was not long, only half an hour. As soon as Yan Xi opened it, Luo Yun’s voice was heard.
Because of some reason, the recording that Gu Liu sent wasn’t very loud and it was seriously disrupted, so that Yan Xi could only hear a few words.
“Tie her up… Drug her… Molest… One million…”
It was not clear what she said exactly, but the words that could be heard made people tremble.
While listening to the recording, Yan Xi was boiling with rage. She gave Luo Yan a few chances to be a better person. But since she didn’t want to change, Yan Xi had no choice but get rid of her..
At five in the afternoon, Yan Xi appeared at Room 315 on time.
She rang the doorbell. After a moment, the door was opened from inside, and out came Luo Yun smiling evilly.
“You’re finally here.” She moved aside to let Yan Xi enter and hastened to close the door with a proud and obscure smile on her face.
Yan Xi sized up the room and sat on the beige sofa in the middle. Her cold gaze landed on Luo Yun.
“Where’s the thing?”
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Luo Yun casually threw a box on the sofa. “It’s just a little piece of junk. You are probably the only one in this world who treats it like a treasure. But it makes sense. What good thing can your mother leave you with that poor look of hers.”
Inside the box, there were only a few books. Luo Yun despised books, so she didn’t even look at them before throwing them into the attic to gather dust.
Yan Xi straightened the box and placed a hand on it. “You didn’t take anything, did you?”
Luo Yun sneered, her eyes filled with ridicule. “Let me put it this way, even the servants don’t want it if I give them for free. You are unchanged, still that little poor girl who loves rubbish.”
“Are you any better? You are just a mistress.” Yan Xi smiled, but her eyes were not smiling.
“Once a mistress, forever a mistress. No matter how good and expensive your clothes are or how good you are at using them, it won’t change your nature, which is a scheming mistress. Am I right?”
Luo Yun wanted to interrupt her a few times, but she didn’t have the chance to. She wasn holding back her anger for what was about to come.
Yan Xi was surprised to see how stupid Luo Yun was, because all her thoughts were clearly written on her face as if she was afriad that people wouldn’t be able to see what she was thinking.
“Alright, where’s the document that Yan Dong signed?”
“Stop nagging me!” Luo Yun took out the document from her bag and slammed it in front of Yan Xi. “Read it carefully, I don’t want to see you coming back to us and begging for our forgiveness.”
‘When Yan Xi flipped to the first page, she immediately frowned. Her gaze landed on the nursing fees listed in the document, and a cold glint flashed across her eyes.
“You’re actually asking me for nursing fees?”
“The Yan family has raised you for so many years. Aren’t we supposed to ask for nursing fees?”
“Sure. If you want nursing fees, no problem. Give me back everything Gu Shen gave to the Yan family.”
Luo Yun was unhappy. “Who are you to ask that back? He gave it to the Yan family.”
Yan Xi was amused by that logic. “Am I not qualified enough to make that request as his wife?”
Luo Yun turned pale. She clenched her fists to hold back her anger, and her attitude toned down quite a bit. She lowered her voice and poured Yan Xi a glass of water, but her eyes were burning with anger.
“This nursing fee is negotiable. Yan Xi, drink some water to cool down. We can’t talk about this in detail, there is no hurry.”
Yan Xi glanced at the glass of water and held it. However, when she was about to drink it, she put it down on the table.
She looked at Luo Yun calmly. “Give me my compensation first.”
Luo Yun’s heart skipped a beat. She glared at Yan Xi. “Why are you in such a hurry? Can you think of anything other than money?
“Tcan’t!” Yan Xi opened her QR code. “Now, not a penny more and not a penny less.”
Luo Yun gritted her teeth. “A few million yuan as compensation? Don’t you think you’re asking for too much?”
“Can you bargain.” Yan Xi pushed the glass of water to Luo Yun. “Let me see your sincerity.”
Luo Yun thought Yan Xi knew there was something with this cup of water. She broke out in a cold sweat. “At most 500,000..”
