Fake Marriage To The Richest Tycoon-Chapter 104: Stoop low to pay back his ex-wife.
Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Stoop low to pay back his ex-wife.
"Shopkeeper, these rings are worth more than that. Are you sure about the price?" Xu Meng asked. He knew that the rings had to be worth more than that. He wasn’t a fool, but he couldn’t tell the real value of the rings. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"When you pawn an item, it’s natural for things to lose their value. If not, you can leave and go to other pawnshops and see how much they’ll offer you," the shopkeeper was rude and black-faced.
Xu Meng looked at the ring reluctantly. The money was still not enough. It was just two more weeks, and the deadline would be up.
He reached out to push the box toward the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper smiled cunningly, thinking he had succeeded.
The shiny rings caught the attention of a customer who had walked in not long ago. He had heard their conversation.
"Young man, I’m willing to buy your rings for two billion," the man said.
Xu Meng’s eyes widened, and so did the shopkeeper’s.
"T-two billion?" he stuttered. That was the biggest amount he had ever heard.
The shopkeeper quickly recovered from his shock.
"I was here first. Are you robbing my business away?" the shopkeeper growled.
"Sir, I believe this gentleman hasn’t sold his rings to you yet. You haven’t paid yet, and he hasn’t agreed to it. The market price of these rings should be 2.5 billion. I’m offering him 2 billion for these rings, which are considered second-hand. The price is good and attractive. You are cheating him by offering five million, which is too low. Sir, are you not afraid that your customers will give you bad reviews?" the man said eloquently until the shopkeeper couldn’t say anything else.
He chased them out of his shop. "Don’t do your fucking business here if you’re not selling to me. Get out!"
Both men were chased out. Xu Meng turned around and thanked the middle-aged man for his help.
"Seems like you urgently need money. If not, you wouldn’t sell these rare rings," the man said.
"Yes. I still lack three billion yuan," Xu Meng admitted, feeling embarrassed. He couldn’t believe that a once-rich and powerful CEO like him would have to stoop this low to pay back his ex-wife.
He really regretted divorcing her and treating her badly. What could he do? There was no use crying over spilled milk.
"Three billion yuan!? Why do you need so much money?" the man was shocked!
"I need to pay back someone," Xu Meng replied. He didn’t tell the full story. This man was just a stranger. The man noticed his reluctance, so he didn’t ask anymore. They were seated at a café.
The rings sitting in front of him were a true treasure! The man took one look at them and knew that this was the work of Xu Lijiang, who used to be a renowned jewelry designer. But he didn’t recognize the man who was selling them. Could he be a relative or family member?
Xu Meng gave him his private account number. The man transferred the money and then left quite happily with the rings.
Xu Meng decided to cancel the wedding with Bai Qianhua. The wedding itself would cost many millions. If he could use those millions to pay back his debts, it would save the lives of his sisters.
But Bai Qianhua would be upset. Xu Meng thought about how she had lied and tricked him. He still felt angry over what she had done. However, he still couldn’t bear to see her crying and sobbing, getting humiliated by others if he suddenly canceled the wedding.
His heart still had some feelings for his lover. She was the reason why he had divorced Qin Zhuzhu so ruthlessly.
"Mr. Xu, how about we postpone the wedding? We can tell Madam that you have some problems or business issues that need to be solved. So you might not make it on the wedding date, hence the postponement," the assistant suggested.
"What a good idea!" Xu Meng happily slapped his desk. This solution would save him and Bai Qianhua some face.
He wanted to jump up and hug his assistant but refrained himself from doing so.
Xu Meng wondered if he could talk to Qin Zhuzhu. He didn’t know her account number because he had never bothered to know or sent her any money as gifts. He only knew Bai Qianhua’s.
He planned to send her the two billion first to show that he was sincere and serious. Then he would send the rest.
He searched through his contact list for her number. There it was at the bottom. He had never called her once when they were married. It was always her who called him to remind him to eat well, sleep well, don’t stay up too late, come home early, don’t work too hard, etc.
To be honest, he found that he missed her voice telling him all that. The concern she used to have for him in the past seemed to be real, but he always thought that she had ulterior motives.
Whenever he came home late at night, she would be waiting there for him, dinner ready and everything warmed up.
But now, he found that she had become someone else. She was no longer the sweet, docile wife.
He tapped on her name. The phone was ringing. It took a few rings before the call connected.
"Qin Zhuzhu, I have something to say," Xu Meng changed his tone to become stricter.
He didn’t know how to face his ex-wife after what Bai Qianhua had done to her. What Bai Qianhua had done could have almost destroyed her for life. He had asked his assistant to investigate those accounts online and found out that they were bought by Bai Qiu, Bai Qianhua’s brother.
The relationship between Bai Qiu and Bai Qianhua was easy to find out. Bai Qiu listens to everything Bai Qianhua says because she was the brain of the family.
"What is it?" The lazy voice of a woman was heard.
