223: Chapter 223 Exorbitant Demands

“Pah! Stop talking nonsense here!”

The man known as Zhang Jianghe's expression changed, and he hurriedly argued back.

“Stop slandering me! It was clearly you who cheated on me and cuckolded me; how dare you turn around and blame me!”

As he spoke, Zhang Jianghe held up the divorce certificate with both hands and shouted to the people around him.

“Everyone, take a good look. This is the true face of this woman. She is just a woman, yet she is now the president of Runfada Supermarket, with three or four branches in Yunduan City, and a net worth of over a billion. Is this something a woman could achieve on her own?”

“I've heard that you were previously just working at this supermarket as a sales clerk, but suddenly became the president. I heard a man helped you acquire the supermarket, and this man is the boss behind the scenes of the Feiyu Conglomerate, Zhao Feiyu!”

“You sold your body to gain Zhao Feiyu's favor and get him to invest in you.”

“Everyone can see that this woman is almost forty now, a faded beauty. Although she still has some looks, why would someone like Zhao Feiyu take a fancy to her?”

“As far as I know, this shameless woman actually used our daughter as a bargaining chip to make a deal with Zhao Feiyu. The mother and daughter pleased Zhao Feiyu, and that's how they got their current status and position!”

Hearing this, the crowd around them was immediately in an uproar.

They pointed fingers at Qin Suxin.

“I didn't expect her to be such a woman!”

“Heavens, selling out both mother and daughter for profit—this is simply too unscrupulous!”

“How shameless, she's practically a prostitute, not even as good as the women standing on the street!”

...

“Zhang Jianghe, what good does it do you to frame me like this? Jiaojiao is your daughter; do you not care about her at all? Using her innocence to frame me!”

Qin Suxin was sobbing, but she quickly recovered.

“Zhang Jianghe, I know you want money, but let me tell you, no way. Jiaojiao invented the special effect cold medicine, which shocked the whole world. Her future is limitless. Don't even think about getting a single cent from her. I'm telling you, we are already divorced, so give up on that idea!”

“What?”

Qin Suxin's words immediately made the surrounding crowd change their perspective again.

“Her daughter is actually Qi Jiaojiao!”

“She is the mother of the medical princess, Qi Jiaojiao!”

“No wonder this guy showed up; it turns out he saw they were famous and rich, so he came to slander them and get a piece of the pie!”

“This kind of scumbag is simply a beast. He didn't care about the mother and daughter before, and now he turns around to ask for money!”

“Why waste words with him? Just call the police and arrest him!”

...

As for Qi Jiaojiao's reputation, in Yunduan City, it could be said that everyone knew her name.

Zhang Jianghe's insulting words, under the shadow of Qi Jiaojiao's achievements, were like ghosts exposed to the sunlight, burnt to ashes.

Zhang Jianghe's expression changed. He stepped forward and threatened in a low voice, “Qin Suxin, don't be ungrateful. I am, after all, Jiaojiao's biological father. I only want two billion. If you give it to me, I'll leave and guarantee I won't pester you again!”

“Two billion? You really dare to make an exorbitant demand! Aren't you afraid of choking to death?”

With the support of the crowd, Qin Suxin was not afraid of Zhang Jianghe's pestering at all and scolded him loudly.

“I'd rather choke to death than starve to death!”

Zhang Jianghe said viciously.

“You have achieved success now, relying on your daughter to enjoy wealth and glory alone. What about me?”

“What about you!”

Qin Suxin roared, “Back then you left without saying goodbye to cling to other wealthy women; did you ever think about us, mother and daughter? Do you know how we've lived these past years?”

“Why did I leave without saying goodbye? Why did I leave you? Don't you have any idea in your heart?”

Zhang Jianghe retorted, “I married you because I had my eye on your family's money. Why did you have to cut ties with your family? Without your family's support, you're just trash. Why should I stay with you?”

Seeing Zhang Jianghe speak so matter-of-factly, Qin Suxin fell silent.

She knew that Zhang Jianghe was an ungrateful wretch who could never be satisfied.

Even if she really gave him two billion now, he would come back again later.

Slowly closing her eyes, Qin Suxin shed tears of despair.

Once upon a time, she had sworn to spend the rest of her life with the man in front of her, regardless of poverty or wealth, sickness or health.

But in the end?

Heh!

Everything was a joke!

“Go away, I won't give you a single cent!”

Qin Suxin turned and left.

There was not a shred of attachment left.

“Qin Suxin, Jiaojiao is my biological daughter. You don't have to give it to me, but Jiaojiao definitely will. Right? I'm going to find Jiaojiao now. She is famous all over the world; never mind two billion, she would even take out twenty billion!”

After saying this, Zhang Jianghe turned and walked away.

Upon hearing this, Qin Suxin was shocked, then turned around and shouted sharply, “You, stop right there!”

Hearing this, Zhang Jianghe laughed triumphantly, “I knew it. You definitely wouldn't let me go find our daughter. She is now the medical princess in the spotlight, and you wouldn't allow everyone to know that she has a scumbag father like me, right?”

That's right!

Qin Suxin indeed thought so.

He understood Qin Suxin too well.

It could be said that he understood women too well.

What kind of person was Zhang Jianghe?

He was a man who specialized in living off women.

He could have hundreds of identities to contact hundreds of women.

He had grasped the weaknesses of all women, which was the reason he had navigated the dating scene and lived so prosperously.

But the reason he was down and out now.

Was also because his identity was exposed, and he was retaliated against by a woman with a deep background.

Now that his identity was exposed, almost all the women who had been with him knew what kind of person he was.

Zhang Jianghe was destined to be unable to continue on this path.

Until he saw a girl who looked somewhat similar to him.

He knew that his spring had come again!

“Tell me, how much money do you actually want?”

Qin Suxin's attitude softened instantly.

“Hehe, didn't I already tell you? I want two billion!” Zhang Jianghe said with a manipulative tone.

“Two billion is too much. I've only taken over Runfada Supermarket for a few months; I simply don't have that much money. One million at most!”

“One million? Are you dismissing a beggar?” Zhang Jianghe said disdainfully.

“One million. Take it if you want it; if not, you won't even have this much!”

“Fine, fine, fine! One million, right!”

Zhang Jianghe took out paper and a pen and handed them over. “This one million is just a deposit. The remaining one billion nine hundred and ninety-nine million should be paid to me over ten months. No problem, right?”

Zhang Jianghe seemed to have come prepared.

Seeing Zhang Jianghe so shameless.

Bai Ling, standing behind Qin Suxin, could no longer hold back and scolded, “How can there be such a shameless man in the world? You even think one million is too little. Do you believe I can have Sister Suxin tell Mr. Zhao to have him arrest you!”

“Go ahead, go tell Zhao Feiyu. Even if you have me arrested, when I get out, I will still come looking for you. Let me tell you, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I won't let you go!”

Zhang Jianghe said shamelessly.

“Furthermore, if Jiaojiao finds out that her father is still alive in this world, do you think she wouldn't want to meet him? With Jiaojiao around, even if Zhao Feiyu has connections reaching the sky and could easily kill me, he wouldn't do anything to me for Jiaojiao's sake. After all, Jiaojiao is his cash cow now!”

At this moment, Qin Suxin and Bai Ling were completely speechless.

He had managed this situation perfectly.

But could it really be that they were just being manipulated by him like this?

This guy was an ungrateful wretch who could never be satisfied. Once the two billion was spent, he would definitely come back.

However.

Just when Qin Suxin was at her wit's end.

A weak, tearful, and thin figure stood quietly in the distance, watching all of this.

Beside her, there was also a young, handsome man following.
