?Chapter 296: Chapter 209: Have You Been Waiting for Me All Along? Chapter 296: Chapter 209: Have You Been Waiting for Me All Along? –
Shen Jingchuan immediately understood what the situation was once he saw the posture of these two individuals.
He glanced at Wen Chengcai and furrowed his brows fiercely.
He hadn’t even made a move yet when Wen Chengcai rushed over and grabbed his arm.
“You can’t leave. It wasn’t just him who saved the person; I was involved too. He doesn’t want the money, good, give me his share as well!”
“Wen Chengcai!” Third Brother was disappointed, “Have you forgotten the words you said to me when you had no way out? You said you would mend your ways!”
Wen Chengcai was already impatient with Third Brother:
“Yes, when I came to you back then, I indeed said such things because I had really made mistakes in the past. But now I haven’t, have I? I’ve been honest and dutiful these past years. Besides, they are willing to pay me this money. Don’t drag me down with your high-mindedness; I want to live a better life!”
With that, Wen Chengcai looked towards Shen Jingchuan, “Young man, if you’re a man you should keep your word. You were the one who volunteered to pay up as a sign of sincerity; you can’t go back on it now!”
“I didn’t say I was going to renege,” Shen Jingchuan forcefully shook off Wen Chengcai’s hand, “so don’t touch me.”
“I want two hundred thousand. Give me two hundred thousand, and we’ll call it even. After that, neither you nor that actress will owe me anything. I know you are very wealthy; two hundred thousand must be just a drop in the bucket for you, right?”
“A drop in the bucket?” Shen Jingchuan sneered, “You really think money grows on trees, with such grandiose demands. I’ve seen through you a long time ago; you’re not a good person. One hundred thousand is already my absolute limit for you. If you think that’s beneath you, then I can turn around and leave right now. There’s no problem with that, right? No one stipulated that I must give you two hundred thousand just because you saved me.”
Seeing that Shen Jingchuan was not easy to talk to, Wen Chengcai silently calculated for a few seconds before gritting his teeth and agreeing.
“Fine! One hundred thousand it is! You must transfer it to me on the spot.”
Shen Jingchuan gave him a disdainful look: “Your payment code.”
But before opening the mobile wallet, Shen Jingchuan suddenly remembered something.
“I can transfer the money to you, but you must delete Wenyan’s phone number from your contacts in front of me.”
Wen Chengcai glanced at Shen Jingchuan, “What, are you afraid I’ll contact that big star again? Let me tell you, Wen Chengcai is not that kind of person. As soon as the one hundred thousand hits my account, I guarantee our obligations to each other are settled.”
“Enough talk!” Shen Jingchuan didn’t bother to engage further, “Hand over the phone, I’ll delete it myself.”
“If I say I’ll do it, I will,” Wen Chengcai declared, handing over his unlocked phone to Shen Jingchuan.
In the moment he took the phone, Shen Jingchuan scrutinized Wen Chengcai for two seconds: “Do you have another phone, or did you save her number somewhere else?”
“Huh,” Wen Chengcai scoffed, “You think everyone is as rich as you, having several phones? This only broken phone I have has been used for many years already.”
…His words were indeed true; not only was the screen of his phone shattered, the edges and corners had long lost their paint.
There weren’t many contacts in his phonebook, and Shen Jingchuan quickly found a contact saved as ‘Big Star.’
Upon checking the details, it indeed was Wenyan’s number.
Without any hesitation, Shen Jingchuan rapidly deleted the number, then tossed the phone back to Wen Chengcai.
The one hundred thousand was quickly transferred into Wen Chengcai’s account.
Seeing the six-figure sum suddenly appear in his electronic wallet, Wen Chengcai couldn’t hide his toothy grin.
Nobody knew what he was planning to do but, once the money was received, he immediately took his phone and went back into the iron shed.
For a moment, only Shen Jingchuan and Third Brother were left outside.
Third Brother frowned and looked at Shen Jingchuan, “I’m sorry, he’s just scared of being poor. But I will keep an eye on him from now on; he won’t cause you any more trouble.”
Shen Jingchuan waved his hand dismissively, “Even if he wants to cause trouble, he won’t be able to find us. He only saved us after all; we don’t have any hold over him. By the way, do you need to improve your living conditions? Give me your payment code, and I’ll transfer some money to you as well. This is also a testament to our sincerity and goodwill.”
“There’s no need. I don’t have any of the payment codes you’re talking about.”
“Then give me your bank card number; it’s the same, I can directly transfer the money into your account.”
Third Brother still refused: “I really don’t want your money. You should spend that money where it’s needed. I’m sorry for not being hospitable; you should head back for today, and there’s no need to come here again in the future. Like Chengcai said, we’re even now; you don’t owe us anything.”
