Chapter 268: Chapter 268: No Way She Can Remain a Good Person to the End

If she had told him in advance, he would certainly have persuaded her to abort.

She didn’t want to abort.

Naturally, with the recent happenings, she also dared not tell him. Her husband could say he knew nothing at all.

Therefore, she didn’t dare ask him for money, fearing it would arouse his suspicion.

But without asking him, where could she find the money? One million—nobody would lend it to her, absolutely no one!

Wang Mingyan agonized for a long time and decided to call Lin Zhi.

As soon as the call connected, she pleaded heartbreakingly, "Miss Lin, I can’t lose this child. But I really don’t have the money for his treatment. You are so kind, please have mercy and save him! If you can save him, I will repay you however I can..."

"So you’ve decided to reveal the mastermind behind this?" Lin Zhi asked coolly, without a trace of sympathy for her.

Wang Mingyan was stunned, not knowing how to respond.

Lin Zhi lightly said, "It seems you haven’t made up your mind yet."

"Miss Lin, my child was prematurely born because of you! If you don’t save him, I will sue you!"

"Feel free at any time. As it stands, your child hasn’t been harmed because of me, and suing me would be futile. I’m not afraid of your lawsuit; I will hire the best lawyers to defend me. Even if I end up being held responsible, it would only amount to some monetary compensation, and that might not be for another year or two. Wang Mingyan, as I’ve said, I owe nothing to you or your child, and I have done all I can. How can you have the audacity to threaten me?"

"I..." Wang Mingyan was so shamed by her words that her face turned red.

Lin Zhi had been polite to her before because she wanted to resolve this matter quickly.

But she still hasn’t repented, and Lin Zhi has run out of patience.

"By the way, have you heard about Ye Shimin?" Lin Zhi suddenly asked.

Wang Mingyan was taken aback once more!

Did she know about Ye Shimin? Did she really know that he was the manipulator behind the scenes?

"He’s been captured; all his assets have been frozen. So don’t expect to get any money from him. It’s just a pity that I gave him half a million, but it never reached you." After saying that, Lin Zhi hung up the call.

Listening to the dial tone on the phone, Wang Mingyan’s entire body seemed to lose its strength.

Her eyes looked empty and desperate...

What should she do?

Lin Zhi didn’t care what she should do. Her goodwill had its limits. In any case, she wasn’t afraid of retribution, because she had a clear conscience.

For Lin Zhi, this matter was essentially resolved.

Even if Ye Shimin didn’t know the raw stones were synthetic, he was still in breach of contract. If they pressed the issue, Ye Shimin would have to pay a significant amount in damages.

This time, he would be severely penalized even if he survived.

But he definitely didn’t have that much money to pay.

Ji Liancheng said he would handle the matter going forward, and Lin Zhi didn’t have to worry about anything anymore. Even with Wang Mingyan, she wouldn’t interfere further.

If she wanted to save her child, she’d have to meet her demands.

If not, Lin Zhi wouldn’t meddle anymore. She had already done everything morally possible to help Wang Mingyan and her child. Expecting her to continue being infinitely charitable was out of the question.

Lin Zhi completely let go of those issues and began preparing to attend Ji Group’s mid-year gala.

She actually didn’t feel the need to attend, but there was a bonus for attendance, so why not...

One shouldn’t be at odds with money.

Lin Zhi picked out her dress and arrived at the venue an hour early on the day of the gala.

The invitation stated it was best to arrive an hour early, and Lin Zhi was indeed very compliant.
