Zhang Rongqing wanted money.
She had already sold as many of her previous branded bags, clothes, and jewelry as she could. She couldnât get any money from her family, and she didnât have a job. Other than borrowing from friends, what else could she do?
Now that she had something that she could threaten Lin Gantang with, how could she not brandish it?
After watching the video, Lin Gantang immediately recalled how Le Yu had bitterly asked her for Wen Yanqingâs number that day.
Zhang Rongqing had only kept this portion of the video; Le Yuâs words in the video were indeed somewhat misleading. Those who were not present might really believe Zhang Rongqingâs nonsense.
Zhang Rongqing had lost her mind due to money and was fabricating facts to extort money.
However, she was right. After a long time, the surveillance records in the bookstore had been replaced by new ones.
âDo you think Wen Yanqing will believe you?â Lin Gantang smiled. She took out her phone and tapped a few times before putting it back on her body.
âI donât need him to completely believe me. As long as he suspects you, then I would have won. Lin Gantang, I donât believe you donât care at all,â Zhang Rong said proudly.
âOf course I care. Since you were there that day, you should know that Le Yu was only looking for me because he wanted Wen Yanqingâs contact information,â Lin Gantang said.
âOf course I know, but why should I reveal it? The video is with me, so I have the final say.â Zhang Rongqing sneered. â1 say that Le Yu and you have an ambiguous relationship. This is the evidence.â
âYou canât bear to see me doing well?â Lin Gantang asked.
âItâs not that 1 canât see you doing well. I just want money. Give me money and you can continue to live a good life in the future; no one will bother about you. Donât rich people like to use money to solve their problems? 1 think youâre a smart person.â
Lin Gantang looked at her frostily. âSo you deliberately recorded this video just to threaten me one day?â
âI didnât want this to happen either. Who told you to inform my dad about me taking your watch? If my dad had returned the money to me, 1 wouldnât have come looking for you. Therefore, there is a cause and effect; you should consider it carefully.â Zhang Rongqing looked like she had victory in her hands.
âJust to make Yan Qing misunderstand?â Lin Gantang asked.
âWhat are you talking about? Of course, you can clear up this misunderstanding. Isnât it good to spend some money to buy peace?â
âWhat good would it do you if Yan Qing misunderstood me?â Lin Gantang shook her head regretfully. âYou also said that we were friends, but now that we canât be friends, youâre turning against me?â
âTaking the video directly to you instead of giving it to him is already in consideration of our past friendship.â Zhang Rong snorted.
Lin Gantang sighed and seemed to want to compromise. âJust tell me, how much do you want?â
âRelationships are priceless. Itâs not too much for me to ask for as much as I want, right?â Zhang Rongqingâs heart was pounding hard. â1 owe 300,000 yuan for my failed investment with a friend. I wonât ask you for more. Iâll add another 50,000 yuan to pay the interest. 350,000 yuan; Iâll delete the video once you give it to me.â
âAn exorbitant demand.â
âYour family is rich. 350,000 yuan is nothing to you. Donât even think about bargaining. Otherwise, I would have directly chosen to ask for one million just now. In the end, it was still 350,000 yuan.â
Lin Gantang laughed at her shamelessness. âYouâre really want to get me, right?â
There was unconcealed greed in Zhang Rongqingâs eyes. Lin Gantang knew that if she satisfied her today, she would never be able to get rid of her again.
Who knew if she had a backup of her video? If she got the money today, she would come again the next time she didnât have money. Each time, she would ask for more.
After all, Zhang Rongqing would think that this matter could stop her.
However, Lin Gantang was not stupid. She slowly took out her phone. The recording interface on the screen made Zhang Rongqingâs expression change..
