The night passed in silence.
Early the next morning, Su Qingning's phone rang. Groggily, she answered the call. Whatever the person on the other end said, she was instantly wide awake. She shot up in bed and said with a grave expression, "I understand!" With that, she hung up.
"Honey, what's wrong?" Lin Xiao's voice sounded beside her.
Su Qingning said dejectedly, "My uncle called. He said the Xue Family sent word for his family to prepare a hundred million, and that they're on their way to collect it."
A hundred million? Are the Xue Family out of their minds? Su Qingning's cousin was personally released by Bai Xiangqian yesterday. Didn't they stop to wonder why Bai Xiangqian would let him go? Yet they still have the gall to show up and demand compensation? And to make such an outrageous demand at that? Do they really think they can do whatever they want in Jinling City just because they have the backing of their family in Jinhai City?
