<h4>Chapter 2215: Saving Money and Worry</h4>


    As such, Zijin wasn’t giving her one million yuan for nothing. Zijin should want to take one’s share of the loot as well for putting in so much money now.


    “How do I know?!” If she had known, would she have readily agreed to Wang Yang’s proposed five million yuan without bargaining for more? “I don’t know how much there is as well. You don’t have to be excited for nothing. It has nothing to do with us. That man’s a little unclear. Although he has no child, he has a biological nephew. He’s unhappy about this and wants to discuss with Qiao Nan the distribution of this inheritance. You just have to cooperate with me and convince Qiao Nan to agree to this. If this seeds, you’ll have one million yuan.”


    Of course, Qiao Zijin wouldn’t really give twenty percent of her benefits to Ding Jiayi. Wang Yang had promised Qiao Zijin five million yuan. However, wasn’t Qiao Zijin nning to ask Qiao Nan for another sum of money as well? No pain, no gain.


    Before making this call, thergest sum of money Qiao Zijin had estimated in her heart wasn’t one million yuan but five hundred thousand yuan. Upon thinking about Ding Jiayi’s insatiable temper, Qiao Zijin had even thought of ways to guard against her. Since the baseline in her heart was five hundred thousand yuan, the starting price should definitely not be too high. Around two hundred thousand yuan was enough. If she mentioned two hundred thousand yuan and her mom managed to bargain for more until five hundred thousand yuan, there was no reason why her mom would be dissatisfied or wouldn’t agree to it.


    Qiao Zijin had already done her calctions. What she didn’t expect was that there was such a huge change to Ding Jiayi’s attitudepared to before. A person who always had distorted worldviews seemed to be having normal worldviews now. This frightened Qiao Zijin.


    Qiao Zijin didn’t even dare to think about two hundred thousand yuan or five hundred thousand yuan. Not only did she wipe out the baseline in her heart, but she even took the initiative and proposed one million yuan. This was already a seven-digit figure. No matter how greedy her mother was, she should be satisfied upon hearing about this huge sum of money, right?


    “…” Ding Jiayi understood. The one million yuan wasn’t from Qiao Zijin’s pockets. No wonder her elder daughter would be so generous this time around, offering a seven-digit figure at once. “What about you? If I have one million yuan, how much would you have?” There was no doubt that Qiao Zijin would be receiving more money than her.


    “Mom…” Qiao Zijin frowned. “I have to put a lot of effort into this matter as well. You’ll receive one million yuan and I’ll receive one million yuan. That’s not too overboard, right?”


    “One million yuan as well?” She didn’t believe it. However, it didn’t matter. “You’re helping that rtive to try and get Qiao Nan to agree to give up the inheritance?”


    The remuneration was two million yuan. It seemed like there was quite a bit to this inheritance.


    “It’s not to make Qiao Nan give up the inheritance. Who wouldin that they have too little money? What the other party meant was that the money and resources belonged to their family. They could give Qiao Nan some of the money, hoping that she knew her boundaries and wouldn’t swallow their inheritance whole.” Of course, the bulk of this wealth had to be in the hands of the other party’s rtive. It couldn’t be taken away by Qiao Nan, the outsider.


    This time around, Ding Jiayi understood everything. “So much money is involved. That old man voluntarily gave them to Qiao Nan before he died as well. This is their family matter. Why are the both of us involved? Isn’t it good if all the moneynds in Qiao Nan’s hands?” Who cares whom this sum of money originally belonged to? It wasn’t bad for it to be in Qiao Nan’s hands. It would give her an illusion that one does not allow benefits created by one’s own work to rue to others.


    “…” Qiao Zijin’s lips twitched. How was it good? It wasn’t good at all. It was good only if the person surnamed Zhu left a will before he died to hand over everything in the Zhu family to her. Everything in the Zhu family had nothing to do with her. Whom itnded with eventually should have nothing to do with her as well.


    However, it was different now. She was Qiao Nan’s biological sister. On what basis that all the good things would happen to Qiao Nan alone and as Qiao Nan’s biological sister, she could only stand by the side and look on with envy?


    Also, to her, there was a huge difference if this sum of moneynded in Wang Yang’s hands instead of Qiao Nan’s. If everything in the Zhu family fell in Qiao Nan’s hands, she wouldn’t be able to get even a single cent. However, if this fell in Wang Yang’s hands, Wang Yang would give her five million yuan. If she was lucky, she could even get at least another five million yuan from Qiao Nan.


    As such, to her, the change of owner for this sum of inheritance meant a difference of ten million yuan!


    Upon hearing Qiao Zijin’s analysis, Ding Jiayi immediately understood. “Alright, I understand your words. You don’t have to exin to me anymore.”


    Qiao Zijin wanted to sigh. It was good that she understood. “When are youing over? My dad’s returning to Ping Cheng tomorrow. You also know that the Zhai family is providing the ce where Dad and I are living now. Dad’s ruthless. He’s not going to live there anymore but doesn’t think about me, his daughter, either. He asked me to move out and find a ce to stay. He even said that once he left, the Zhai family would take back this house and cut off all the water and electricity supplies.”


    Ding Jiayi was silent for a while. She understood why Qiao Zijin had to call her tonight and even cried while talking over the phone. “What do you want to do then?”


    “Mom,e to the capital. When Dad was in the capital, Qiao Nan had to take care of everything. If you’re here, she can’t possibly just favor one party and only take care of Dad but not you, right?” It was fine that the prices in the capital were high, but it was simply too expensive to find a suitable ce to live in. If not for this, she wouldn’t have been so anxious and cried in the middle of the night. “Mom, take the first train to the capital tomorrow morning. I’ll let Qiao Nan know that you’reing over. By then, as long as you do the matter I mentioned just now, you’ll have one million yuan.”


    Once her mom was here, not only would she no longer have a headache over finding another ce to live in, but more importantly, she would have another helper by her side to kick up a fuss until Qiao Nan agreed to this.


    Ding Jiayi had already covered herself back with the nket. “Your dad’s alreadying over. Why will I go there? Could it be that I’ll leave your dad alone in Ping Cheng to celebrate the new year? It’s already this time of the year. I’m not going to the capital.” It was cold. Ding Jiayi didn’t even want to step out of the house, let alone travel far. Even if Qiao Nan had to take care of her and give her a ce to live in, Ding Jiayi wasn’t willing to leave Ping Cheng and go to the capital to celebrate the new year. “Your dad’sing back. Are you?”


    If Zijin wasing back, there was still enough time for her to prepare more ingredients for the reunion dinner. If Zijin wasn’ting back and it was just her and Old Qiao, she could save a lot of thoughts and didn’t need to spend too much money.
