Ji Mengran raised her hand and gestured the number of two.
Two hundred million yuan.
This price was higher than Ji Nuan expected. The plot of land that she took as a burden had become a “fat piece of meat” in Ji Mengran’s eyes. It seemed that Ji Nuan could use her “prediction ability” to trap her so-called sister.
Ji Nuan smiled coldly and didn’t agree. “You know the prices of all the lands the MN Group has purchased have multiplied, but our company doesn’t have much energy to run real estate projects. Whatever your relationship is with me right now, for the sake of the fact that we grew up together, I can give you the land. Add another fifty million and the land is yours. Otherwise, just forget it.”
Ji Mengran said unhappily, “You want a 25 percent rise of the price? How could you say, ‘for the sake of the fact that we grew up together’? Are you trying to trap me?”
“If you think I’m trapping you, you can just get up and go. No one will stop you. Let me remind you, it was you who came to ask to buy this plot of land. I don’t drive you out just for the sake of father and the Ji family. Did you expect me to sell the land to you at a loss? Did you forget how much I dislike you? You should be grateful that I’m willing to sell it to you. What else do you want?” Ji Nuan said with a cold smile.
Ji Mengran’s face darkened. “Our studio has acquired a lot of land in the past two months. All the working capital has been paid out, and now we can only pay 200 million. You know, Dad doesn’t care about me these years. He doesn’t care if I’m short of money. Can’t you just waive the fifty million yuan for the sake of the Ji family?”
Ji Nuan sneered. “You can turn to your Brother Sheng for help.”
Although Sheng Yihan was willing to give her money, he hadn’t been around lately. Ji Mengran didn’t want to tell Ji Nuan that she hadn’t seen Sheng Yihan for half a month.
Ji Mengran thought for a while and said, “By the way, you were out on a business trip and didn’t come back to the Ji family to visit Dad during the Dragon Boat Festival. Why don’t you go back to accompany him if you have time lately? How can you have the cheek to say, ‘for the sake of Father’? I think since you learned that you had no blood relationship with the Ji family, you no longer take yourself as a member of the Ji family or take us as your family.”
Ji Mengran knew that Ji Nuan was impatient with her. “I’ll consider the fifty million yuan. I’ll give you an answer in two days at most.” With that, she got up and was about to leave.
If she hadn’t thought that plot of land would be very profitable, she wouldn’t have risked coming to Ji Nuan herself. But Ji Nuan’s attitude was better than she expected. She wasn’t sure what Ji Nuan was thinking of, though. After all, Ji Mengran had known that although Ji Nuan looked vulnerable, she was never the right person to mess around with. The longer she stayed here, the more she would lose. No matter what, she would get that plot of land anyway.
Suddenly Ji Mengran paused and turned to look at Ji Nuan. “By the way, Sister, you were really on the limelight at the dinner party of Lin Xiao Group. No one would expect that you would show up as Xiao Luye’s female companion. I’m really curious. How did you manage to hook up with Mr. Xiao besides CEO Mo? There are millions of beautiful women in the world, but no one is as good at bewitching men like you!”
Ji Nuan recalled the conversation of Mr. Xiao and his son at the dinner party. She had suspected something, but she had not sought proof, nor had she had time to get in touch with the people of the Xiao family.
She just glanced at Ji Mengran and coldly smiled. “Not just the Mo family and the Xiao family. I beat you also in the Ji family, remember?”
Ji Mengran’s face immediately darkened. “No matter what, Ji Hongwen is my biological father, and we have blood ties. Who do you think you are? You don’t even know where your biological father is or whose blood is on you!”
“Really? But in your biological father’s eyes, which daughter does he want more? You know the answer, right?” Ji Nuan still smiled calmly but her eyes were cold. To be honest, she didn’t want to bother to quarrel with Ji Mengran.
After all, a person like Ji Mengran wasn’t worth her energy.
Ji Mengran’s face went stiff. She came here today for that land and couldn’t lose it because of the quarrel with Ji Nuan, so Ji Mengran suppressed her inner anger and forced a smile. “Sister, please waive the fifty million yuan for the sake that you took my father from me.”
Ji Nuan answered coldly, “Family can be used as a bargaining chip for you. You are really mercenary.”
Ji Mengran sneered. “Family? Dad is clearly planning to make you, an outsider, the inheritor of the Ji family. If I don’t seize the day to pave the way for my future and save some money for myself, do I have to beg you for money in the future? Even if I beg you, will you give me any penny from the Ji family’s property?”
Ji Nuan raised her eyebrows and laughed. “You’re right.”
Ji Mengran drew a long face and turned to walk away. Before walking out of the MN Group, she looked around. The high-end office buildings and corporate image hurt her self-esteem. When she thought that Ji Nuan was more excellent than her in every single aspect, she was even angrier as if someone was chasing after her, and quickly disappeared from the MN Group.
Ji Nuan returned to her office. Xiao Ba knew that Ji Nuan was on bad terms with Ji Mengran, so she didn’t mention that person but bought her the backlog of documents that Ji Nuan should sign. She leaned over the desk, watching Ji Nuan rummage through the papers and observing her expression.
“Why do you keep looking at me?” Ji Nuan glanced at her.
Xiao Ba chuckled. “I’m looking at my boss, who is re-nourished by love these days. So, do you and CEO Mo really re...”
Ji Nuan unfurled the documents in front of her, looking as though she was going to work on them quickly and not at all ready to gossip. “If you think working in Hai City is too easy and you’re so idle that you think about crap all day long, I don’t mind sending you out on business. Then you’ll be busy traveling around and won’t have time to disturb me with your burning gossip soul.”
Xiao Ba. “...” She immediately shut up.
Boohoo, her gossiping soul was snuffed out by a basin of cold water! So sad!
