684 A Million Times for You 46 (2/2)
An Xiaoning looked down at the man from her height and uttered coldly, ”You're asking for death, aren't you?”
Ah Liang would never have expected that a grown man like him would lose to a small and petite woman. Furthermore, he had not even gotten the chance to return a blow. It was a huge humiliation for him.
”Please spare him, it was my underling who'd acted rashly,” Sister Zhang requested.
An Xiaoning rolled her eyes at her before lifting her leg. Ah Liang sulkily crawled up and rubbed the mark from the shoe left on his face while immediately hiding behind Sister Zhang.
”May I know what your name is, Miss?”
An Xiaoning seemed as if she was unwilling to even give her the slightest amount of face. ”You don't deserve to know.”
Sister Zhang was at a loss for words. She had been used to calling the shots, and, seeing that her opponent was also not someone to be trifled with, she went straight to the point. ”This man is mine. Name a price, I'll buy him from you.”
The person she was referring to was none other than No. 8.
An Xiaoning could not comprehend. ”How are you related to him?”
”I used to be his Master.”
An Xiaoning finally understood what was going on. Seeing that No. 8's face had turned as white as a sheet, she replied, ”What is the situation? You've sold him away and landed him in this state, now why are you buying him back?”
”You don't have to be concerned about this. Just name a price.”
An Xiaoning's lips curled into a smirk. ”I simply have no intention of selling him. If there's anything I lack, it isn't money.”
”You…” Sister Zhang did not expect her to be so unreasonable. ”It's just a man, and an insignificant one at that. It's better if you sell him back to me.”
”Why is that?”
Sister Zhang signaled Ah Liang behind her to excuse himself. ”Go out and wait.”
”Yes.”
After he had gone out, Sister Zhang finally replied, ”Yun Chen is the man I love.”
It was the first time An Xiaoning had heard of this name, which No. 8 was supposedly called. Yun Chen?
”Why did you abandon him, then?”
”He infuriated me. I was just acting out of anger.” It seemed that Sister Zhang was really concerned about No. 8.
An Xiaoning sat by No. 8's bed and enquired, ”Are you willing to be redeemed by her? If you are, I'll naturally let you have your wish. If you aren't, even if it's by a heavenly god, I won't let you be taken away.”
No. 8 looked up at her, his handsome face visibly moved. ”I'm naturally unwilling to.”
”Then, there's nothing left to say. Since he's unwilling, you can go now.”
”I heard you spent ten million to buy fourteen people. I'll give you twenty million.” Sister Zhang was persistent. ”How about that?”
The four men on the hospital bed, including No. 8, turned to look at An Xiaoning. His hands were clenched tightly onto the bottom of the covers, and he was on tenterhooks.
An Xiaoning stood up and glanced at Sister Zhang with her arms crossed. ”If he's willing to leave with you, I'd let him leave without receiving a single cent. However, since he's unwilling, even if you give me two billion dollars, I wouldn't agree. I'm a person with dignity. Since you abandoned him back then, no matter the reason, you now won't get to have him back anymore. You seem like a rich person as well, just that you may have played with too many men before, most probably those young lads out there. But your health is the most important, so take care.”
”You've really got the nerve!” Sister Zhang clenched her teeth and glared at her furiously before turning to leave.
The door was slammed shut, and the other three in the ward immediately cheer out loud. No.8 also muttered, ”Thank you, Master.”
An Xiaoning sat on the chair and responded, ”What's there to thank? I'm just doing what I should. Then again, who exactly is she?” ”Being unreasonable” and ”walking sideways” have the same pronunciation in Chinese.
