As a wealthy second-generation heir, Zhou Jinxiu spent his days indulging in a life of pleasure and extravagance. What kind of sights hadn't he seen?
Even if it was just a ruin, the moment he saw this thing, he recognized it immediately.
Seeing the obvious recognition on his face, Jiang Nanfang thought: The siblings were indeed birds of a feather, not a single good one among them!
"A gift from Miss Zhou to you, Mr. Zhou."
Realizing the woman wasn't here to deliver a package at all, Zhou Jinxiu's face instantly turned grim. "Who are you? Where did this thing come from? What do you mean?"
Jiang Nanfang retracted her hand, hooked her right index finger over her sunglasses, and looked back at Zhou Jinxiu with an equally displeased gaze.
"Who I am is not important. What's important is where this thing came from."
"Mr. Zhou, if I'm not mistaken, Miss Zhou Jinbei is your biological sister, and she's only just turned 20 this year. Does a 20-year-old girl who knows how to use such methods to harm others not think your family's upbringing is a bit too lax?"
Zhou Jinxiu's expression grew uglier. He reached out to snatch the item from her hand, but Jiang Nanfang dodged slightly.
He said coldly, "Did Zhou Jinbei use this on you? You have quite a bit of nerve to come here and try to extort me."
Jiang Nanfang let out a cold laugh. "I believe I'm doing a good deed, helping her to return to the right path. Mr. Zhou, you wouldn't be so protective that you don't even have the desire to check on her at home, would you? To watch your sister go astray and turn a blind eye, is your family's upbringing really that lax?"
It didn't matter how men played outside, but if the women in their own family were also involved with such things, they absolutely could not tolerate it.
Especially since Zhou Jinbei was so young, what if she was led astray by others?
Zhou Jinxiu was so angry he wanted to call her an idiot and vowed he wouldn't let her off when he got back, but he couldn't show it on his face. "Get to the point. What do you want to extort?"
As expected of a wealthy young master, he was ready to pay for his sister's mistakes before even investigating the matter.
Extort something? With such a condescending attitude, if Jiang Nanfang didn't ask for something, it would seem like she was letting him off too easily.
"Young Master Zhou is experienced and must have some expertise in this area. I won't say, you decide."
"I think it would be more appropriate to discuss this tonight."
Coming to extort money, Zhou Jinxiu had never encountered such a brazen and clueless woman in his many years navigating the world.
If he started giving benefits to anyone who showed up at his doorstep with something, and word got around their social circle, what would happen then?
Those who knew him would know Zhou Jinxiu was handsome and kind-hearted, but those who didn't would think he was a pushover. Would he ever have a peaceful day again?
"I'm busy now. I'll tell you a place, you go there tonight, and we'll sit down and resolve this issue properly, no matter how much you want."
Jiang Nanfang was truly amused by his evasive words. Busy now, resolve tonight? No matter how much she wanted?
Are you calling me an idiot? You plan to take advantage of me tonight!
You can do whatever you want, just because you have a little money, you can trample on people's dignity?
She had intended to speak to him nicely.
"My phone number is the one you called earlier. It only takes a minute or two to transfer money to this number via Alipay. Young Master Zhou is busy with important matters, so I won't delay your precious evening. Right now, as soon as you transfer it, I'll leave."
"Heh, this woman. I thought she was clueless earlier, but now it seems she's courting death.
Her mouth is quite wide, and she thinks she can get money from me with just a few words. What does she take me for? Zhou Jinxiu?
"I didn't bring my phone. Miss, your words show a lack of trust in me."
"Indeed. We're not related, so it's hard for you to trust me."
With that, Jiang Nanfang had no more patience for him. She took out her phone and took a picture of him as he was.
"You don't trust me and have no intention of resolving this with me, so I'll have to report it. I'm going to report Zhou Jinbei for illegally possessing this item and for assaulting me. I wonder if the Zhou family will make the news if this gets out."
"You..."
"Excuse me, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm an employee of Zhan Corporation, and also a self-media video blogger. If I report this and then turn it into a video, with the added buzz of Zhan Corporation, it'll be hard not to go viral, right?"
"..." Zhou Jinxiu stood there, watching her, his face growing colder and colder. After half a minute, he turned and walked back into the house.
"I'll go get my phone. Wait here."
He left with a smile, but returned with a face ashen as a pig's liver.
Zhou Jinbei, unaware of what had happened, ran out from the hall excitedly to greet him. "The butler said you went out to get a package. What good stuff is it? Who sent it to you? Hurry and show me!"
Zhou Jinxiu stopped in his tracks and gave her a cold glare. "You sent it to me. Zhou Jinbei, your boldness is growing. You dare to play with what you should and shouldn't, be careful you don't get into trouble and Old Zhou finds out, he'll break your legs!"
A moment later, he came down wearing white clothes and black pants. Jiang Nanfang was still waiting by the taxi.
He walked over. "Have you decided? How much do you want to extort?"
Jiang Nanfang crossed her arms and looked at him. "Please mind your wording. Your sister provoked me for no reason. As a victim..."
"Alright, alright, stop the nonsense. How much for emotional distress? I'll give it."
What an attitude! She had originally just wanted an explanation and didn't intend to ask for any money, but now... m..oΓg
Jiang Nanfang opened her red lips slightly. "One million."
The driver, who was drinking water in the car, was startled. "Cough, cough, cough..."
Zhou Jinxiu looked at her with a playful gaze, scrutinizing her from head to toe again. "One million for one night? You're quite valuable?"
"I'm not valuable. Your sister's future and the Zhou family's reputation are valuable. In fact, you should think I'm asking for too little. I've been insulted, and your Zhou family's reputation is worth far more than this."
"..."
"Don't think about finding a lawyer afterward and suing me for extortion. I'll take the money, but it won't go into my pocket."
She took out her phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Zhou Jinxiu.
"Transfer it to this children's relief foundation. Quickly, I'm losing patience."
When Zhan Beijue arrived at the company, he received a call from Lu Mingzhe before even entering his office.
"I have something to tell you. I've been waiting in the lounge for over ten minutes. Are you coming today or not?"
"Old Zhan, I've found something good for you. You'll have to thank me properly this time."
Soon, the two met at the office door.
Zhan Beijue gave him a faint glance and entered. "What good thing is worth you running over here early in the morning to claim credit for?"
"Heh heh. Look." A Zhong didn't follow them in. There were only two people in the office. He peeled off the paper cover of the book and presented it to Zhan Beijue.
"This book is specifically for your condition. I've read it, and the content is very powerful. As long as you try what's in it, I guarantee you'll be cured quickly."
With such exaggerated claims, Zhan Beijue lowered his gaze and looked at the cover.
It turned out to be a book titled "XX Diagram" from some unknown dynasty, with a dazzling cover and a dual visual impact that was sure to make one blush and their heart race.
