Chapter 103: Chapter 103: He Considers Her One of His Own

She felt entitled to this money; it was a debt they owed her.

Even King Yan couldn’t fault her for not saving someone’s life.

Not long after Lin Zhi and the others left, Ye Shimin returned.

Liang Hongli immediately felt aggrieved and sadly embellished the story, which made Ye Shimin very angry.

"Did Ji Feifan really go too far?"

Liang Hongli nodded, "Yes. Honey, aren’t they asking you for a favor? Why are they still bullying us? Two million, just for giving birth, where does it need so much money? They are clearly bullying us. Honey, Ji Feifan never took you seriously. He’s not helping us; he’s clearly robbing us."

Ye Shimin felt the same way.

In this day and age, two million was not a small sum. They could afford it, but only a fool would want to pay that amount.

Giving birth shouldn’t require so much money.

Moreover, it was uncertain whether Liang Hongli’s condition was even that serious; with medical advancements, there was a chance both mother and child could be safe.

The crucial point was that Ji Feifan needed his help, yet he had the audacity to hike up the price without regard for him.

Ye Shimin always held grudges, but he didn’t dare to overtly confront Ji Feifan.

He called him, hoping to negotiate.

Ji Feifan was a master at deflecting issues. After a round of conversation that made it difficult to point out any faults, his message was clear: the price is non-negotiable.

No room for negotiation on this matter!

"Since young master Ji is not giving us any face, I have no choice but to seek other experts," Ye Shimin said with an implied threat.

Ji Feifan chuckled, "Mr. Ye, in fact, we have already given you a lot of face."

Otherwise, no matter how much money you offered, Lin Zhi could easily disregard it.

If she’s willing to help you, you should count your blessings.

"Heh, I really can’t accept your kind of favor. Mr. Ji, let’s hope for future opportunities to collaborate." After that, Ye Shimin hung up the phone.

Ji Feifan smiled helplessly; it seemed he had to look for a new partner.

After telling Lin Zhi about the outcome, Lin Zhi didn’t expect Ye Shimin to become more temperamental with age.

Given his past character, always desperate to climb higher, he wouldn’t have offended Ji Feifan so easily.

"What were you collaborating with him on?" Lin Zhi asked curiously.

But Ji Feifan countered, "You don’t know?"

"I don’t. I haven’t had any contact with them for over a decade."

"Your father..."

"He’s not my father. If he doesn’t acknowledge me, I don’t acknowledge him either," Lin Zhi said indifferently, cutting him off.

Ji Feifan corrected himself, "Ye Shimin is quite renowned in the raw stone gambling business. Although he’s not a big shot, he excels in his specialization. With over a decade in the field, he has plenty of experience. The probability of getting quality stones from the raw stones he selects is very high."

"So you approached him just to collaborate on this?"

"Yes, I’m planning to go abroad to select raw stones and wanted to partner with him."

"I’m sorry my situation caused you to miss out on this partnership," Lin Zhi said apologetically.

However, Ji Feifan wasn’t too concerned, "It’s not a big deal. There are plenty of other raw stone masters, but you’re one of a kind. Besides, we’re our own people."

Our own people...

Lin Zhi was taken aback; she had always considered their relationship purely business. Without mutual benefit, there would be no relationship.

She hadn’t expected him to consider her one of his own.

Impressed by Ji Feifan’s attitude, Lin Zhi’s fondness for him grew.
