Kiss With Mr. CEO Chapter 67 - I Won't Settle For Less Than 100 Million

Chapter 67 - I Won't Settle For Less Than 100 Million

Despite spending the whole previous day in the waiting room for Li Luxian, Wang Hualing had been unable to meet Li Luxian. She had first stomped to his office in anger, wanting to demand an explanation for his 'betrayal'.
But when Li Luxian didn't even let her meet him and instead sent Li Yuan to pacify her, she had realized he was angry at her. Once, she realized this, she was not discouraged. Instead, she was even more determined to meet Li Luxian.
Now it was even more important that she met with Li Luxian and ended the misunderstandings between them.
That was the purpose behind today's visit to the Li family Manot.
After all, in front of his family, Li Luxian wouldn't do anything disrespectful towards her.
Besides, in Wang Hualing's mind, the relationship between her and Li Luxian was not that weak. Li Luxian did not love her but he did not hate her either.
After all, the two of them had spent their childhood together. Even if no love blossomed in his heart, Li Luxian must at least see her for something more than a stranger. Before the marriage agreement between them, Wang Hualing prided in being the only woman capable of Li Luxian closeness.
After their engagement, although the relationship between them deteriorated because Li Luxian didn't want to get married to her and she insisted despite his refusal, it did not mean the relationship between them had ended.
Wang Hualing was certain that in Li Luxian's heart she still held more importance than this Chen Yi. She had never heard of this Chen Yi since a month ago. How came a woman who had not been familiar with Li Luxian for more than a month be more important than Wang Hualing?
That was totally absurd!
Wang Hualing's heart was clear. Chen Yi was not someone who even deserved a second glance from her under normal circumstances. Wang Hualing glanced coldly in Chen Yi's direction: "What are you so arrogant for? You should be aware that the only reason you are married to Li Luxian is that he wanted to avoid marriage with him. It has nothing to do with you."
That was what she was! A lackey, a chess piece. Someone ought to be ignored.
Wang Hualing was certain of this. Li Luxian married her all to avoid his marriage with Wang Hualing. It was all for Wang Hualing in the end. Then why did this despicable woman before her reveal such a self-assured smile?
Listening to her words, Chen Yi's smile didn't falter. In fact, her smile became even more profound. "That does not change the fact that I am still Li Luxian's wife while you are..." Her limpid eyes sparkled with something. "...not."
Wang Hualing recognized the expression that passed across Chen Yi's eyes.
It was mockery, disdain, and contempt.
Wang Hualing almost couldn't believe it. A chess piece and she was so arrogant?! Was this pathetic being not aware of her position?
"Do you dare?" At once, Wang Hualing was agitated.
"Yes, I do dare. Correct me if I was wrong at some point." Chen Yi leisurely folded her arms in front of her and leaned against the lounge pillar.
Wang Hualing's nails dug into the skin of her palm. She rose and immediately made her way to Chen Yi.
When it came to Li Luxian, Wang Hualing always had a short temper. Especially after a day of being ignored by Li Luxian, the acclaimed young Miss of the great Wang family already had her nerves taut.
It was already the limit of her tolerance to see another woman beside Li Luxian. And now that lowly woman even dared to look down upon her?
"What qualifications do you have? What qualifications to stand beside a man like Li Luxian?! Have you ever looked at yourself with clarity? You are a pathetic being abandoned by her own family. We both know that your marriage is a fake one. Yet you dare to claim the position of his wife. Do you have any shame left in you?" Wang Hualing asked with a sense of righteousness.
In her eyes, Chen Yi was definitely not worth Li Luxian.
Chen Yi laughed at her words. "And I assume Ms. Wang thinks she is the most qualified to stand by Li Luxian's side?" Chen Yi asked with a slight tilt of her lips.
"Is that even a question to ask?" Just as Chen Yi had expected, Wang Hualing's answer came swiftly infused with self-confidence. Wang Hualing and Li Luxian were the perfect pair. Let it be the family background, educational qualifications, or profession. They were the most suitable for each other.
Chen Yi glanced coldly at Wang Hualing: "Ms. Wang, what do you want from me?"
"Smart of you to realize this sooner." Wang Hualing had been having a hard time stopping herself from ripping that eyes sore's skin off her face. Looking at her delicate face, Wang Hualing had to admit that in regards to physical features, this Chen Yi was superior to her. Being a woman, this fact was already like a bone stuck in her throat. "How much Li Luxian paid you to pull this stunt? One Million? Two Million? I will offer you ten Million if you back off on your own." Wang Hualing stated her terms clearly.
Ten Million was not a small amount.
This Wang Hualing looks like she came fully prepared.
Chen Yi laughed coldly. "Ten Million?" She pretended to be contemplating.
A look of disdain flashed over Wang Hualing's face. So this woman was really this pathetically low? Humph! In any case, it was better for her if she backed off after taking the money. Ten Million was not worth it. The business advantages her family would gain after her marriage with Li Luxian would exceed their losses.
After long contemplation, Chen Yi shook her head. Out of all the responses Wang Hualing had expected, she said something Wang Hualing didn't expect.
"Too low. I won't settle for anything less than a hundred Billion."
"You...!"
Wang Hualing felt like her mouth filling with blood.
