Chapter 398: Chapter 398: I Don’t Buy This Act

Lin Qingshi was taken aback, surprised that Pei Liyan was also so blunt with him.

"This is probably a misunderstanding." Lin Qingshi smiled. "I just have something I want to discuss with Qiao Rui, but she’s been avoiding me, and we have no other options."

"Isn’t avoiding you her right?" Pei Liyan coldly retorted. "Do you think meeting us means we must see you?"

Lin Qingshi squinted his eyes but calmed his anger, saying, "I was a bit impatient, but there was a reason."

Qiao Rui just looked at him coldly, ignoring him.

This old man is simply too selfish.

Neither Pei Liyan nor Qiao Rui responded to Elder Lin’s words.

Lin Qingshi took the chance to find himself an out: "Qiao Rui, the things you had Qiao Xiang bring today, I’ve seen them."

Qiao Rui was quite clear that Qiao Xiang wouldn’t hide the source of those things.

When she gave them, she never thought of hiding.

Qiao Rui smiled faintly, calmly asking, "So what?"

Lin Qingshi was stunned. It was the first time he’d seen such a calm girl, even when threatened, she remained so composed.

She truly has a lot of guts.

Son-in-law Qiao Junxian and daughter Lin Hailan were both defeated by this girl, Qiao Xiang was no match either.

It seems the Qiao Family indeed produced a formidable figure.

He squinted his eyes slightly, assessing Qiao Rui, saying, "Judging by these things, thinking of threatening the Lin Family shows you’re quite immature."

Qiao Rui chuckled, calmly retorting, "If these things didn’t make you concerned, why would you be so eager to find me?"

Lin Qingshi was stunned again, suddenly laughing: "Haha, quite a sharp-tongued little girl."

"You’re not the only one who praises me like that." Qiao Rui said candidly. "My grandfather and Grandpa Pei have said as much, but I don’t care for your compliments at all."

Elder Lin frowned. "Girl, you sure are arrogant?"

"I have the capital to be arrogant, so of course, I am. After all, society likes to judge by appearance and values skill to earn a living." Qiao Rui’s tone was calm, and her speech was very slow.

"You want me to produce three billion, that might be impossible." Lin Qingshi said.

"Old man, clarify this, it’s not me wanting you to produce three billion. It’s your daughter and son-in-law, including your granddaughter."

"They don’t have this ability." Lin Qingshi sneered.

"If you don’t want to produce it, then don’t." Qiao Rui said again in a deep voice, "No need to tell me, because there’s nothing to discuss between us."

Lin Qingshi laughed. "Girl, if I don’t give the money, what will you do next?"

Qiao Rui chuckled, "That’s my business, and it probably has nothing to do with you."

"This concerns the Lin Family’s affairs, how can it have nothing to do with me?" Lin Qingshi said in a deep voice.

Qiao Rui said with a smile, "Either you cough up three billion, plus the seven million you owe our Qiao Family, or shut up and find a solution. Don’t bother me with any nonsense; I won’t fall for it."

Lin Qingshi was surprised, shocked by Qiao Rui’s attitude: "You have a lot of guts."

"Are you finished speaking?" Qiao Rui said coldly, "If you’re finished, you can leave."

"Liyan, you saw it too, it was this girl who insisted on aggravating me, so don’t blame me for what happens next." Lin Qingshi looked at Pei Liyan and smiled.

Pei Liyan also glanced at him, said solemnly, "Elder Lin, you’re right, what happens next is out of our control."

Lin Qingshi was surprised again: "Liyan, you want to team up with this girl to deal with our Lin Family."

"Our attitude depends on Elder Lin’s attitude; our actions depend on yours and the Lin Family’s actions. Repaying in kind has always been the principle I share with Qiao Rui." Pei Liyan said solemnly.

He didn’t leave Elder Lin any face at all.

Lin Qingshi frowned, deeply gazing at Pei Liyan, "It seems you want to unite against us. No wonder this girl has such confidence; it’s you handling the aftermath."

"Elder Lin, you might have misunderstood." Pei Liyan said in a deep voice, "Qiao Rui does things without needing me as a backdrop; I’m still in her protection."

"Pfft!" Qiao Rui couldn’t hold back a chuckle; Pei Liyan’s words indeed elevated her.

But it was the truth; Qiao Rui really didn’t need his protection.

Lin Qingshi scoffed, seemingly believing Pei Liyan’s words were to bolster Qiao Rui.

This girl is indeed capable.

He looked at Qiao Rui, saying, "Girl, are you sure you want to be at odds with our Lin Family?"

"Cough up what’s not yours, return it to the Qiao Family, and everything’s negotiable. If you won’t, then sorry." Qiao Rui was blunt.

Elder Lin frowned. "You’re really quite bold, young girl, daring to threaten me."

Qiao Rui found it amusing internally; after doing all that, he still talks about face?

She didn’t bother responding to Elder Lin, nodded at Pei Liyan, "Shall we go?"

Pei Liyan nodded. "Let’s go."

"I’m not finished speaking." Elder Lin saw the two were about to leave, quickly speaking again, "You both should hear me out before going."

"What else do you want to say?" Qiao Rui faintly looked at him and asked.

"Girl, I’ll give you two billion, will this matter be settled?" Elder Lin said, "Not through the company’s accounts, personally for you."

Qiao Rui chuckled. "You intend to bribe me, huh?"

Elder Lin nodded. "You could say that, so will you accept?"

Qiao Rui said, "I won’t knowingly break the law."

"Are you saying the money’s too little?" Lin Qingshi asked.

Qiao Rui smiled. "Elder Lin, even if you add another zero, you won’t bribe me; no way."

Lin Qingshi sneered, "Seems you won’t accept anything."\

"Return the thirty-seven billion to us, and everything’s negotiable. Otherwise, let’s see what we can each do." Qiao Rui said and left with Pei Liyan.

Seeing the matter wasn’t getting anywhere, Lin Qingshi turned angrily to watch them go.

Pei Liyan tossed out a sentence as well. "Elder Lin, don’t use any means against my wife, or you’ll be enemies with me, Pei Liyan."

Lin Qingshi froze, not speaking.

Pei Liyan left with Qiao Rui.

Elder Lin frowned deeply, just then receiving a call.

He answered, and Lin Tiancheng on the line said, "Dad, Huo Sinan wants that seven million debt for the Qiao Family."

"The Huo Family?" Lin Qingshi was stunned. "Are they stepping in too?"

"Looks like it." Lin Tiancheng said, "How did Huo Sinan also get involved with Qiao Rui?"

"That damned girl is quite capable, completely disregarding me." Lin Qingshi said, "She didn’t give me any face!"

"Dad, should we take more drastic measures?"
