### Chapter 171: Making Exorbitant Demands

"You!" Jiang Ruanqing's face flushed with anger. She pointed at Wen Sining, stuttering for a long time but failing to utter a single coherent word. Just when Wen Sining thought she was about to come up with some new insults, Jiang Ruanqing suddenly let out a cold snort and took out her phone.

"Fine, fine, fine, Wen Sining. You're so sharp-tongued. I won't argue with you. Open your dog eyes wide and see what this is!"

Wen Sining's gaze fell on Jiang Ruanqing's phone. When she saw what was on it, her face suddenly changed. The smile on her lips disappeared, and her eyes seemed to be filled with ice.

Seeing Wen Sining's sudden change in expression, Jiang Ruanqing felt that she had finally gained the upper hand. A smug smile appeared on her face.

"What do you want?" Wen Sining asked coldly.

"Humph, Wen Sining. I'll give you one day. No matter what method you use, get Xiao Hao out of that place. And, give me fifty million... no, give me a hundred million." Jiang Ruanqing originally wanted to say fifty million, but when she suddenly saw the jade pendant around Wen Sining's neck, she couldn't help but think of the auction of this jade pendant some time ago.

At that time, in the face of such a sky-high price, Lu Luochen didn't even blink an eye and paid.

Humph, she didn't expect that this bitch Wen Sining was quite favored by Lu Luochen. The money from the auction of the jade pendant not only paid off the gambling debts owed by Wen Minhao but also injected a large amount of capital into the Wen Group.

The Wen Group, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, was finally saved.

Anyway, this bitch was so liked by the Lu family. The Lu family was so rich. What's wrong with her taking a little? If it weren't for this bitch Wen Sining's non-cooperation, sooner or later the entire Lu family would be theirs!

Although Wen Sining hadn't said a word yet, in Jiang Ruanqing's eyes, she would never refuse. Thinking that her son would finally be able to get out of that place and a large sum of money was about to come in, a greedy and smug smile inevitably appeared on her face. So when she heard Wen Sining's refusal, she was really shocked and shouted loudly:

"Wen Sining, what did you just say! Have the guts to say it again!"

"Hehe, I didn't expect that you're not that old, but your ears are already so deaf. I said - it's impossible. Aunt, can you hear me clearly now?"

"How dare you! Wen Sining! If you don't agree, I'll burn this insurance policy! You'd better think it over clearly. This is the only legacy left to you by your short-lived parents. Once it's burned, it's gone."

Wen Sining clenched her fists tightly. Her slightly long fingernails dug into her flesh, causing a dense pain.

"Ha." After a long while, Wen Sining suddenly laughed. The hand that had been tightly clenched finally relaxed, and there were several crescent-shaped blood marks on her palm.

She tilted her head slightly and stared at Jiang Ruanqing without moving. She said calmly, "Aunt, are you really willing to do that?"

Jiang Ruanqing's pupils trembled slightly, and she quickly retorted, "What a joke. This isn't mine. Why wouldn't I be willing?"

"Really? Then have you asked Uncle? Will Uncle agree if you burn the insurance policy?" Wen Sining took two steps forward and was only one step away from Jiang Ruanqing.

"What do you guys want to do with the insurance policy? Do you really think I don't know? If the insurance policy is burned, that huge compensation... won't you want it?"

Jiang Ruanqing's eyes widened in surprise. "How do you..."

"How do I know? Aunt, I know much more than you guys do. Do you think you can use this insurance policy to threaten me and make me compromise? Hehe, I can tell you now that it's impossible. It will never be possible. You want to burn it? Fine, go ahead."

After Wen Sining finished speaking, she took a few steps back, increasing the distance between her and Jiang Ruanqing. From a distance of several meters, she looked at Jiang Ruanqing with a cold expression.

It took Jiang Ruanqing a few seconds to come to her senses. She instinctively reached out to grab Wen Sining, but all she caught was thin air.

"Wen Sining, you bitch. Your heart is made of stone. That's the only legacy left to you by your parents. Aren't you really worried at all? You're a jinx, a bad luck charm. You were the one who killed your parents! You were also the one who killed your grandma! You're the one who should die the most. Why don't you just go and die..."

Jiang Ruanqing pointed at Wen Sining's nose and scolded loudly. Wen Sining didn't even give her a single look. She simply turned around and left. She went back into the house, took out her phone, and called the security guards to drive Jiang Ruanqing away.

Jiang Ruanqing's voice was so loud that Uncle Bai in the kitchen could faintly hear some of it. His eyebrows immediately knitted into a frown.

"Uncle Bai, it's almost time. You can turn off the fire. I'll go and call Grandpa out for dinner."

Wen Sining returned to the kitchen and said to Uncle Bai with a smile. Then she turned around and knocked on Mr. Lu's door, calling out the two old men who were playing chess.

When everyone was seated, Wen Sining said with a smile, "Grandpa, you guys start eating first. I'll go upstairs and change my clothes. I accidentally got some oil on it just now. It's uncomfortable to wear."

After Wen Sining finished speaking, she went upstairs. As soon as she returned to her room, she could no longer hold on and slumped to the ground. She tightly held the jade pendant around her neck with both hands.

Originally, both this jade pendant and that insurance policy were in Jiang Ruanqing's hands. It was only recently that Jiang Ruanqing took the initiative to take out this jade pendant for auction that Wen Sining found an opportunity to get it back.

The reason why she didn't care about the insurance policy wasn't that she really didn't care. It was because she knew that now Jiang Ruanqing only had this insurance policy left. She also knew that Wen Shiqian and his wife were also eyeing this insurance policy.

So they would never easily damage the insurance policy.

But if the jade pendant were still in Jiang Ruanqing's hands, Wen Sining would really be at Jiang Ruanqing's mercy today.

Because compared to the insurance policy, the value of the jade pendant in Jiang Ruanqing's eyes wasn't very high. It was just a piece of jade. If it was broken, it was broken.

"Click."

Just then, the door behind her opened. Lu Luochen, who had called earlier to say that he had a dinner engagement and wouldn't be coming back for dinner, was now standing in front of her.

Wen Sining instinctively looked up. As she tilted her head, a tear slid down from the corner of her eye.

Lu Luochen was stunned for a moment and immediately squatted down.

"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Since Wen Sining had been tightly clutching the clothes on her chest, Lu Luochen thought she had a heart problem.

"Why are you back?"

Lu Luochen's pupils trembled slightly, and finally he answered honestly, "Uncle Bai called me and said that your aunt was at the Lu family mansion again, so I came back to take a look."

Actually, what Uncle Bai really meant was for him to come back and support Wen Sining. After all, there were only a few old men in the family, and Mr. Lu was still in the recovery period. It wasn't suitable for him to come forward.

"Oh, it's okay. I've already asked the security guards to drive her away. I didn't let her come in and disturb Grandpa. Since you're back, have lunch with us."

Wen Sining casually wiped her eyes and said nonchalantly.

"What about you?" Lu Luochen asked.
