Chapter 470: Five Hundred Thousand


    Zhou Weiqi returned to his senses and exined, "Nah, I just think she looks pretty when she is


    smiling, just like how I appreciate your beauty. Besides, she''s not my Qiuhe, alright!"


    "Thanks for thepliment." Jiang Yao chuckled dryly. She then asked Lu Xingzhi, "When do you n


    to release Mr. Zhou?"


    "Tomorrow." Lu Xingzhi looked at Zhou Weiqi. "Initially I wanted you to make the decision, but I realized


    that it might take too long to wait for your verdict. I don''t have the patience for it, so I gave the decision-


    making right to someone else."


    "Brother Lu..." Zhou Weiqi sighed.


    "Excuse me for being blunt, but you can''t evenpete with Zhou Ning''s pet dog in the Zhou family."


    Lu Xingzhi did not mince his words. Yet, they were the truth. "If your father decides to keep you in the


    Zhou family, I''ll be very surprised."


    Zhou Weiqi did not speak, he kept his head down and munched on the cookies served.


    What could he say? He was always disregarded and left behind; what else could he hope for?

    "Get out of my way after you''re done eating." Lu Xingzhi got annoyed looking at Zhou Weiqi''s sour


    expression.


    Realizing that he was third wheeling here, Zhou Weiqi grabbed a handful of cookies, took a swig of tea,


    and walked away.


    The afternoon sun was very bright, causing Jiang Yao''s face to flush a bright red. She leaned on Lu


    Xingzhi''s shoulder after Zhou Weiqi''s departure and said, "We should call Weiqi back. We three can


    y a game of cards."


    Seeing Lu Xingzhi actually reaching for his cell phone, Jiang Yao quickly stopped his hand and said, "I


    was just joking, you took it seriously?"


    Lu Xingzhi did. It was not a big deal though, as it involved the simple act of giving Zhou Weiqi a call.


    "Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Ning must be livid at us now." Jiang Yao could not stop thinking about Zhou


    Ning''s expression, she thought it looked funny. "Weiqi and Xuyao asked me yesterday why I wasn''t


    angry, even Chen Feibai asked me the same question too. Do you know what I told them? Well, they


    need a favor from me. It''s only a matter of time before they''ll have to put themselves down and beg for


    my help. I did not expect them to get on their knees though, good thing Zhou Ning mentioned it


    herself."


    Seeing the pathetic reactions of Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Ning had Jiang Yao in a very chummy mood. She


    was reminded of the way they treated Zhou Weiqi yesterday and felt really pleased to see how the


    tables have turned.


    "So, the five hundred thousand is Weiqi''s?" Jiang Yao asked.


    "For Weiqi to leave the Zhou family, they would take back everything he had that was given by them."


    Lu Xingzhi knew very well what the Zhou family would do. Even though they did not provide much for


    Zhou Weiqi, Lu Xingzhi wanted to at least get somepensation for all the hardships and injustice


    Zhou Weiqi faced all these years staying in the Zhou family.


    "Five hundred thousand is not a lot of money, yet neither is it a small sum," Jiang Yao said. "For an


    ordinary household, five hundred thousand is an amount of money they can only ever dream of having,


    just like my parents who are farmers. They can never earn that much even till the end of their lives. Yet


    for the Zhou family, it is nothing more than a mortgage for a vi or a loan for a luxurious vehicle."
