Chapter 10: Mr. Li Isn’t Even Worth an Inkstone in My House

Bai Weiwei saw that Qin Nuan was about to leave and ran after her, but the minute she stepped out, the door of the adjacent private room opened, and Li Lingcheng emerged with a few other people. 

The two women turned to look at the same time when they heard the sound of the door. 

Bai Weiwei reacted first. In the blink of an eye, her expression had changed completely. She tumbled towards the door in a frail and pitiful manner as she called out, “Brother Lingcheng…” 

Li Lingcheng instinctively reached out to catch her. 

Qin Nuan didn’t expect to run into Li Lingcheng here and rolled her eyes in her heart. 

Li Lingcheng held onto Bai Weiwei and asked, “Why are the two of you here?” 

“Brother Lingcheng, I…” Panic flashed in Bai Weiwei’s eyes. She bit her lips and suddenly raised a hand to point the finger at Qin Nuan, “She’s the one! She’s the one who wanted to meet me here.” 

Qin Nuan, “…”

She glanced at Bai Weiwei without saying anything. Instead, she cupped her chin and looked as if she was waiting for Bai Weiwei to continue with her performance. 

“She wanted $10 million from me and said that as long as I give her $10 million, she will leave you for good, and she won’t stand in our way anymore. But if I refuse to give her the money, she will think of all sorts of ways to ruin our relationship and continue to cling onto you,” continued Bai Weiwei as she held onto Li Lingcheng’s jacket. 

Li Lingcheng looked towards Qin Nuan after hearing these words. The disgust on his face was very apparent. 

He just knew this woman hadn’t given up on him.

Just then, Qin Nuan cleared her throat and smiled beautifully at Bai Weiwei. “Miss Bai, did you say I asked you for $10 million?” 

“That’s right! You were the one who said it! You said that as long as I gave you $10 million, you would be willing to leave Brother Lingcheng!” 

Bai Weiwei hugged Li Lingcheng’s arm and looked extremely confident of what she was saying. 

“Mr. Li, I can’t believe that you’re only worth $10 million in Miss Bai’s heart! That’s really…” 

Qin Nuan paused, looked down, and chuckled softly before continuing in a rather mocking tone of voice, “That’s really…worth very little. Even the inkstone that my family let me use when I was a child was worth $12 million. Are you saying that Mr. Li isn’t even worth as much as an inkstone in my house?” 

There was nothing wrong with what Qin Nuan just said. The Qin family loved collecting antiques, and Mr. Qin was the sort of father who gave his daughter anything she wanted. There was an inkstone in his collection that was worth $12 million, and he had just let her play with it. 

“I…That’s…That’s not what I meant…” 

Qin Nuan cut Bai Weiwei off and continued speaking, “Miss Bai, you claimed that I asked you for $10 million and I would leave Li Lingcheng. Seriously, you haven’t used a single bit of intelligence to come up with this lie. Besides a moron with an IQ of zero, who else would actually believe you? I’m the Young Mistress of Qin Group, you know? What is $10 million to me? Did you think I would care for that little bit of money? The next time you want to tell a lie, remember to write a draft first.” 

Bai Weiwei, “…” 

Her round eyes were wide as she stared in disbelief at Qin Nuan. She never thought that the Qin Nuan she remembered, a so sweet and innocent girl she was borderline stupid, would one day be so merciless with her retorts. 

Bai Weiwei couldn’t think of anything to say in return, so she dug her nails into her flesh, and two bright teardrops rolled down her cheeks almost instantly. 

Li ‘Moron’ Lingcheng shouted, “Qin Nuan, are you quite done?!” 

Qin Nuan looked first at Li Lingcheng, who held Bai Weiwei tightly in his arms, then at Bai Weiwei, who was leaning closely in Li Lingcheng’s embrace, and a sourness that originated from the original owner of the body suddenly overtook her heart again. She clutched her chest and turned to leave the corridor quickly. 

But before she could make her escape, the two assistants standing behind Li Lingcheng immediately blocked her way. 

“Bring her back and lock her up. Don’t let her make Weiwei unhappy again,” instructed Li Lingcheng as he continued to comfort the woman in his arms. 

Qin Nuan took a look at the two men facing her, took half a step back, and started rotating her arms to warm up. 

These two were just administrative workers and didn’t look like they worked out. She had learned Chinese kickboxing for four years while she was in university, so she felt that she had a chance at fighting her way out of here!
