Chapter 163: Tit for Tat Part 2 (1/2)

“You!!!” Though Wu Xueping was a fairly calm woman, even she couldn’t stand my roguish words. Immediately, her face turned red with anger, as she said to me, “I really can’t comprehend how Xia Jing fell in love with a bastard like you!”

“Yes, I am a bastard. And I will also let you know that I am trying to set up Xia Jing. What can ya do about it?” I said undauntedly. Since I have been reborn, I have learned that there is no need for rules and etiquettes when dealing with people like Xia Jing’s mother. The best way to deal with people like her is to smack them with your wealth that is greater than her’s and Lei Xiaolong’s.

“Humph. You can try that then! You probably understand what kind of person my husband is. For him, dealing with an insignificant man like you won’t be an issue.” Wu Xueping started to use threats.

“Oh! Well…, if you want Xia Jing to hate you for a lifetime; go ahead and do it. Why so much nonsense?” I said indifferently.

“Then what do you want that will make you agree to leave Xia Jing? As long as it is not an excessive demand, I will certainly fulfill it.” Wu Xueping said as she inhaled deeply and calmed herself.

“Oh! Is that so? Then let me ask you a similar question! What do you want in return for letting Xia Jing be together with me?” I smiled and said with some interest in my tone.

“You.” Wu Xueping sneered, “And what qualifications do ‘you’ have to ask me this question?”

“Instead of asking me what qualifications I have, you should answer what you want in return for letting Xia Jing be my woman?” I said.

“And why would I answer you?” Wu Xueping asked back.

“You don’t need to answer if you don’t want to, and I won’t be giving up on Xia Jing either. But, if you do tell me and I can’t fulfill it, then I will leave Xia Jing willingly,” I said.

“Are you telling the truth? As long as I give a condition, and you can’t fulfill it; you will leave Xia Jing on your own. Without asking for any compensation from us either!” Wu Xueping asked as she was suddenly pleased.

“Indeed!” I nodded and said with certainty.

“Good! Well then, I will say it only once; you better listen carefully. I expect that you will keep your promise!” Wu Xueping said as she pondered for a moment.

“No problem!” I promised straightforwardly.

“100 million as the bride price*! If you can take out that much, then I will allow Xia Jing to be your wife.” Wu Xueping said as she appeared to be satisfied with herself.

“100 million as the bride price? I doubt Lei Xiaolong’s family would have given you that much, right?” I looked at the proud appearance of Wu Xueping. She looked funny to me, and so I said with some sarcasm.

“No need to bring up his matter! He is him while you are you! In short, either you take out that amount of money, or you can forget about marrying my daughter.” Wu Xueping became impatient after my sarcastic remark.

“100 million, huh. It sure is a big number!” I nodded and said, “So, is it 100 million USD, or is it 100 million Yuan?”

“Of course it is Yua… Uh…, It is USD, yes, it is 100 million USD.” Wu Xueping strutted and said. If she was going to scare him; she might as well scare him thoroughly.

“Heh, US dollars, huh! Is your company even worth that much? Oh, I forgot… This company is not your own!” I shook my head and said.

“This is my condition! If you can’t satisfy it, then no need for so much rubbish. You should give up already.” Wu Xueping said, waving her hand.

“100 million, 100 million it is then.” I looked towards Wu Xueping and said.
