Standing over the bed, compared to Mrs. Zhang, Wu Fang was completely overshadowed in terms of presence.
"What on earth do you want?" After waiting for a while and Mrs. Zhang still not saying a word, Wu Fang grew increasingly impatient and spoke up again.
At first, Mrs. Zhang thought Wu Fang was someone special. But after just a few exchanges, Mrs. Zhang had sized up Wu Fang's level. She threw a check at Wu Fang and said, "One million. Take the money and have the operation."
As she spoke, there was no room for negotiation in Mrs. Zhang's tone. It was more like an order.
Wu Fang was taken aback for a moment, and then she laughed. Suppressing her unease, she tried to act as normal as possible. Mrs. Zhang's presence was just too overwhelming. "I don't understand what you're talking about," she said.
Wu Fang still wanted to play dumb. After all, Zhang Jizhong was the only one she had now, and keeping the baby in her belly was her best bargaining chip.
"Either take the one - million check and have the operation. It'll be good for both of us. If you're not willing, I'll have to find a way for you," Mrs. Zhang didn't buy any of Wu Fang's tricks. She spoke quickly, leaving no room for Wu Fang to defend herself.
The one - million check lay there quietly. It was impossible for Wu Fang not to be tempted. But when weighing her options, she chose the baby in her belly and tried to shift her gaze away from the check.
"Miss Wu, you're still smiling. You've got a long way to go. I can give you a piece of advice," Mrs. Zhang said, not surprised by Wu Fang's refusal. "You know, throughout history, mistresses never end up well. You'd better think carefully. I'll give you one day to consider."
After saying that, Mrs. Zhang picked up her bag and turned away, not even bothering to look at Wu Fang.
She had come in person just to see what kind of person Wu Fang was. Now that she knew, there was no need to stay any longer.
Wu Fang on the hospital bed stared at the check for a while. After making sure there was no one around, she put the check away.
In front of the screen, watching Mrs. Zhang's performance, Shen Nanyi almost knelt down. The two were clearly not on the same level.
What was Zhang Jizhong thinking? Maybe he had bad eyesight.
"This is really over this time," Shen Nanyi stretched and stood up, looking out of the window.
The show was over. It had to be said that it was quite exciting. It was even more interesting than a TV drama.
Putting down his phone, Ji Beichuan walked over and sat next to Shen Nanyi. "There's news from William. It's confirmed. It's really a tin mine, and there's also a small amount of gold," he said, with envy and pride in his voice.
The expectation had been proven, and there would be a substantial income. Most people would be happy, but Shen Nanyi couldn't be happy at all. Instead, she was a bit nervous.
There was no way she could keep the money. After all, there was a wasteful system. The more money there was now, the more money she might have to spend.
"It shouldn't be worth much, right?" Shen Nanyi asked tentatively, her heart in her throat.
She kept praying in her heart that the amount of money shouldn't be too large. Otherwise, she didn't know what the system would come up with.
Shen Nanyi's reaction was a bit unexpected. After thinking for a while, Ji Beichuan was wondering how to answer. Should he say it was valuable or not? Shen Nanyi's reaction seemed a bit strange.
"Don't think about it. It's valuable," the system's voice sounded before Ji Beichuan could answer. Hearing the tone, Shen Nanyi frowned. She felt like she wanted to die.
It could be valuable, but she just hoped she wouldn't have to spend it all at once. Shen Nanyi prayed silently.
Shen Nanyi prayed silently in her heart, but unfortunately, the system didn't hear her prayer.
"I've roughly calculated the value of that mountain. You have to spend one - tenth of it successfully within one day. The way is up to you, but you can't buy fixed assets," the system's voice was cold. Shen Nanyi almost fainted when she heard this.
Although the task sounded simple, just spending one - tenth and the way was unrestricted, Shen Nanyi always felt that there was something strange about it.
"How much is this mountain worth exactly? Tell me!" Shen Nanyi gritted her teeth and asked, turning her gaze to Ji Beichuan.
At this moment, her only prayer was that it shouldn't be too valuable. If it was too valuable, it would be difficult to spend such a huge amount in one day.
"… It should be over a hundred billion," Ji Beichuan said, still being a bit reserved as he couldn't figure out Shen Nanyi's reaction.
The tangible value was one thing, but more importantly, there were connections.
Shen Nanyi's head hurt. Hearing this number, she fell into deep thought. Even one - tenth of it was an astronomical figure.
What was more important was that she couldn't buy fixed assets. Shen Nanyi felt that she might fail this task.
If the system hadn't spoken up in advance, she would even have wanted to go directly to a real - estate sales office and buy a few buildings. With tens of billions, it wasn't too much, but it could still be spent on buying houses.
"… I just realized that I don't have that much money on me," Shen Nanyi said after calm thinking. She found a very serious problem, that is, she didn't have that much money.
Although she had a lot of assets now, the liquid funds were really limited.
"That's a problem you need to think about," the system's voice was very cold, leaving no room for negotiation.
Shen Nanyi understood. It meant that she not only had to spend the money but also find a way to raise this amount. So the question was, where could she raise such an astronomical amount of money?
Sitting on the sofa in despair, Shen Nanyi's little brain couldn't turn properly.
"… Are you unhappy?" Ji Beichuan rubbed Shen Nanyi's hair with one hand. He was even more puzzled. He didn't know why Shen Nanyi's reaction was so unusual.
If an ordinary person knew they had such a fortune, they would probably jump for joy. But the expression on Shen Nanyi's face was not one of joy but rather melancholy.
Turning to look at Ji Beichuan, Shen Nanyi said pitifully, "Can you lend me some money?"
The topic changed so quickly that Ji Beichuan was a bit slow to react.
Meeting Shen Nanyi's gaze, Ji Beichuan was sure he hadn't misheard. He immediately took out his cards from his wallet and handed them to Shen Nanyi.
"All my money is in there," Ji Beichuan never asked Shen Nanyi what she wanted to do. Instead, he supported her unconditionally.
Looking at the several bank cards in front of her, Shen Nanyi should have been happy. But thinking about the amount of money she was short of, she just couldn't be happy.
"I'll go back home first," Shen Nanyi said. The task had been issued, and there was no use in backing down. She didn't intend to back down either.
She didn't have much money with her, so Shen Nanyi planned to go back and think of a way. There were always some valuable things at home.
Ji Beichuan quickly chased after her. He still didn't know what was going on.
Zhao Shuyan was cooking dinner at home. Shen Nanyi rushed to the balcony in a hurry, rummaging through something.
