The Rejuvenation System of Hehuan: Starting with a Young Woman in an Apartment
Chapter 199 First, trick them away
Chen Mo now naturally knew what Zhang Li was thinking. If he didn't specify how much money he would be paid each month, Zhang Li would definitely not leave willingly. So she wanted a definite answer.
Moreover, all the so-called discussions are fake. If it's less than 5000 yuan, she'll definitely refuse to leave. But since Chen Mo is going to deal with her anyway, he might as well keep giving her a false promise. He'll get rid of Zhang Li first, and then figure out how to get rid of Zhang Li later according to the plan.
The next moment, Chen Mo said to Zhang Li, "Zhang Li, I don't think it's right to give you 5000 yuan a month."
Hearing Chen Mo's words, Zhang Li's brows furrowed slightly, and her expression darkened. She wondered to herself, "Has Chen Mo changed his mind?" Although she had indeed said they could discuss it, 5000 yuan was still a bit too much for a greedy person like Zhang Li. Nevertheless, Zhang Li forced a smile and said to Chen Mo, "Then, brother, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Zhang Li snorted inwardly. If Chen Mo gave too little money, then she wouldn't be surprised if she caused trouble. Although Zhao Fang was no longer his daughter-in-law, she was still his goddaughter. As long as Chen Mo still cared about Zhao Fang, Zhang Li wasn't afraid that Zhao Fang wouldn't give her the money.
Therefore, a cunning glint appeared in Zhang Li's eyes; she wanted to see what Chen Mo would say first.
At this moment, Chen Mo smiled slightly and said to Zhang Li, "What I mean is, how can 5000 yuan be enough? I need to give you at least 1 yuan a month."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Li was instantly stunned. Then, her eyes widened in disbelief and overjoyed, and she exclaimed to Chen Mo, "What? 1 yuan? Brother, are you serious?"
Zhang Li was incredulous. She had thought that 5000 yuan would be too much for Chen Mo, so she would have to find a way to reduce it. After all, Chen Mo had already given her 100 million yuan. If Chen Mo reduced it by a small amount, she could accept it.
However, Zhang Li did not expect that Chen Mo would directly offer her 1 yuan a month for living expenses. This was beyond Zhang Li's imagination, and she hurriedly asked Chen Mo, afraid that he might have made a mistake.
Then, Chen Mo answered Zhang Li's mother with certainty, "Of course it's true. You're right. You only have Zhao Fang as your goddaughter and your only family. As Zhao Fang's fiancé, and your future godson-in-law, I naturally can't let you starve. So giving you more money shouldn't be wrong, right?"
Hearing Chen Mo say this, Zhang Lishi's face immediately lit up with a smile, she was overjoyed. She hadn't expected Chen Mo to be serious, and thought to herself, "He's such a fool, but it's good that he's a fool, so I can squeeze more money out of him."
Meanwhile, Zhang Li thought to herself, "It seems Chen Mo is even richer than I imagined. I'll have to find a way to get more money from him in the future." Then, an even more greedy glint appeared in Zhang Li's eyes; she'd probably come up with some other wicked schemes when she got back.
The next moment, Zhang Li hurriedly said to Chen Mo, "Yes, yes, elder brother, you are right. You are so understanding. In that case, I feel at ease entrusting Zhao Fang to you, and I can enjoy a peaceful life from now on. I told Zhao Fang long ago that following you is definitely the right thing to do."
As she spoke, Zhang Li hurriedly praised Chen Mo. After all, praise is cheap and can be given easily without any cost. For Zhang Li, it was a considerable profit.
When Zhao Fang heard Chen Mo say this, her face was filled with disbelief. She didn't expect Chen Mo to say such a thing. Not only did Chen Mo not compress Zhang Li's story, but he also satisfied Zhang Li's greed by turning 5000 yuan into 1 yuan. Wasn't this Zhang Li taking advantage of the situation?
Zhao Fang knew Zhang Li's character all too well. No matter how much money you gave her, she would never be grateful. Instead, she would become even more greedy and try every means to get more money from you, eventually driving you to the brink of despair.
After all, Zhao Fang had been through the same thing. When she was Zhang Li's daughter-in-law, she thought she would work in the city and send more money to Zhang Li every month so that Zhang Li could live a more comfortable life, which would be her way of fulfilling her filial duty.
However, Zhao Fang did not expect that the more money she sent to Zhang Lishi each month, the more greedy Zhang Lishi became. In the end, no matter how difficult Zhao Fang encountered, Zhang Lishi's demands on Zhao Fang would only increase each month, not decrease. Eventually, she even came to Zhao Fang's door, leaving her with nowhere to go. If it weren't for Chen Mo's appearance, Zhao Fang probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.
So Zhao Fang wanted to quickly dissuade him, but at this moment, Chen Mo gave her another look, signaling that Zhao Fang shouldn't act impulsively. Only then did Zhao Fang suppress her inner impulse. She was anxious, but she still chose to trust Chen Mo.
At this moment, Zhang Lishi also saw through Zhao Fang's thoughts. Zhang Lishi knew that Zhao Fang wanted to persuade Chen Mo not to give so much money. Zhang Lishi couldn't help but secretly hate her, thinking, "What a slut! She's only been with him for a few days, and she's already turning against him and speaking up for him like this." She thought to herself, "Luckily, I sold Zhao Fang off quickly and got 100 million yuan."
However, Zhang Li was also a cunning woman. She knew that Zhao Fang wanted to persuade Chen Mo, so she didn't give Zhao Fang a chance to speak and directly said to Chen Mo, "Then it's settled, elder brother. I'll go home and wait for your good news. I believe that elder brother is not a person who goes back on his word."
When you revealed your cunning eyes, you shut Chen Mo down completely, then turned and left in a hurry, not giving Zhao Fang a chance to speak, nor giving Chen Mo a chance to back out.
At this moment, Zhao Fang saw Zhang Li leave in a hurry, not giving her a chance to speak, so she came up and stood in front of Chen Mo. Then, she said to Chen Mo with a worried look, "Uncle Chen, how could you agree to her? He said that giving him five thousand yuan a month was already outrageous enough, and you actually agreed to give him ten thousand yuan."
"How could someone like her ever be satisfied? The more money you give her, the more demanding she'll become next time. Why are you going to such lengths for me? Aren't you just making trouble for yourself?"
As she spoke, Zhao Fang's eyes began to redden, and she was filled with guilt.
