The next afternoon, Yu Jing’s assistant forcefully took Xia He away. Yu Jing saw the plainly dressed Xia He in her own Chinese restaurant.

Xia He revealed a terrified expression. “What are you doing?”

Yu Jing looked at her disdainfully. Was this Qin Ran’s friend? She was indeed poor and had no temperament. No wonder she became friends with Qin Ran. After all, they were the same kind of people.

Yu Jing elegantly smoothed her hair. “I came to look for you to give you a chance. I heard that you have a good relationship with Qin Ran. I’ll give you 100,000 yuan. Do as I say.”

When Xia He heard Yu Jing’s words, she was instantly shocked. She frowned and seemed to think for a few seconds. Then, she looked up at Yu Jing and said with uncertainty, “A hundred thousand?”

When Yu Jing heard Xia He’s questioning tone, it was as if she felt that the money was too little. Yu Jing slapped the table angrily. “If you succeed, I’ll give you another million. You might not be able to earn so much money even if you work for your entire life.”

Xia He was silent for a while, as if she was moved by the money. A fawning smile appeared on her lips. “What exactly is it? Let me hear if I can do it first.”

“You might not know yet. Qin Ran is a shameless bitch. She stole my boyfriend. I want you to persuade her to break up with my boyfriend,” Yu Jing said coldly.

After school in the afternoon, Qin Ran was carrying her bag and going to the school canteen to eat when her phone suddenly rang. She picked up the call. Before she could speak, Xia He’s timid and pitiful voice came from the other end. “Miss Yu, Qin Ran is my friend. I don’t want to betray her. Moreover, I don’t think she will listen to me.”

“Are you stupid? As long as you do this, I’ll give you a hundred thousand. If it succeeds, I’ll give you another million. Qin Ran is as brainless as you. As long as you do as I say, there will definitely be no problem. I’m warning you, you don’t have any other choice now. If you reject me or let Qin Ran know about this, I won’t let you off, including your mother who’s working as a cleaner.”

Xia He sounded panicked. “Miss Yu, please. Don’t hurt my mother. I promise you.”

“Hmph, that’s more like it. You’d better be obedient. Otherwise, you can forget about going to school. This is 100,000 yuan. Take it first.”

When Yu Jing thought about how Xia He complained that the money she gave was too little at the beginning, she was instantly angry. She threw a bank card to Xia He. When she saw a greedy expression on Xia He’s face and the way she looked at her became more and more respectful, she immediately felt extremely happy. “I won’t treat you badly if you help me. Alright, leave. I’ll wait for your good news.”

There was a commotion. It seemed that Xia He had stood up and left. Qin Ran looked at the phone and was puzzled. What was Xia He doing? Did she call the wrong number? Or was it a live broadcast?

After a while, Xia He seemed to have walked out of the road. Xia He’s voice quickly came from the phone. “Ranran, you heard it just now, right? Yu Jing actually threatened me. Fortunately, I found a chance to call you.”

Qin Ran was quite touched to see her good friend standing firmly on her side. “Then what are you going to do? You’ve already promised her.”

“What do you mean what should I do? Call the police. She threatened me, so can’t I call the police? I’ve already recorded the call. She’s finished this time!” Xia He said happily.

Qin Ran didn’t expect Xia He to be so bold as to call the police. She couldn’t help but smile and ask, “Aren’t you afraid? Yu Jing’s family is powerful, and she hasn’t done anything too overboard. I’m afraid the police will only teach her a few words, but you might suffer her revenge.”

Although Xia He had a straightforward personality, she was not brainless. She nodded. “I also know that there’s this possibility. If she really takes revenge on me and my mother, I’ll expose her actions on the Internet. The Yu family is also a big family, but they bully the weak. If they let Yu Jing threaten an ordinary person like me, they can forget about continuing their business.”

This move was indeed ruthless. No matter how powerful a person was, they definitely didn’t want to be involved in the storm of public opinion, let alone a big family like the Yu family. They cherished their reputation even more. This move was like hitting a snake at its weak spot.

“This method is fine, but let’s not do this until the critical moment,” Qin Ran said as she ordered.

“Then do you have any good ideas?”

“It’s not a good idea.” Qin Ran smiled. “Since she took the initiative to give you the money, you should take it first. You can get the money for free without working. Why don’t you want it?”
