Chapter 2888 Greedy but not in love
Bai Yongchang naturally knew what the old lady was thinking.
That's right, Bai Yongchang hates the old lady no less than the old lady hates him.
"Tell Zhan Xiumiao that tonight, no one can say anything!"
Bai Yongchang, who had originally agreed, suddenly changed his mind.
He hung up the phone before the old lady could come to her senses.
And it shut down directly.
The old lady was very angry because she couldn't contact Bai Yongchang.
It took me a while to calm down.
It's obviously his fault! Can't you say something to him?
The old lady called Zhan Xiumiao and told him about the situation here.
Naturally, she would not tell Zhan Xiumiao the words she said to provoke Bai Yongchang.
"Xiu Miao, it's not that I won't help you, but in his eyes, I, as a mother, have no place at all.
If it doesn't work, you can find Duan Yishuang.
She is also in Qing City."
The old lady felt guilty towards Zhan Xiu Miao for not being able to help.
Told him a secret.
Zhan Xiumiao frowned.
"If Duan Yishuang is in Qing City, why isn't she with Bai Yongchang?"
"Their relationship has long been in name only. Duan Yishuang may have guessed something, so she went to Qing City in advance.
Now she is not so afraid of offending my rebellious son.
You can collaborate.”
The old lady pointed a way to Zhan Xiumiao.
Zhan Xiumiao immediately understood what was really going on.
After hanging up the phone with the old lady, he quickly contacted Duan Yishuang.
Duan Yishuang seemed to have been waiting for his call for a long time.
"Mr. Zhan, I knew you would come to me."
Duan Yishuang's voice contained both self-mockery and helplessness.
“Since you are in Qing City, you should know everything Bai Yongchang has done.
I would like to ask you for a favor.”
Zhan Xiumiao went straight to the point.
Duan Yishuang took a deep breath.
"If I help you, I will completely break off relations with Bai Yongchang.
He won’t touch our children, but he won’t let me go.”
Duan Yishuang had slept in the same bed with Bai Yongchang for decades, so how could she not know how suspicious and vicious this man was.
“You came to Qing City secretly because you knew what he was planning.
You came here because you wanted to stop it at the critical moment.
Otherwise you can just wait for news in Kyoto.
Name your price! "
Zhan Xiumiao could also guess what Duan Yishuang was thinking.
She couldn't give up the title of mistress of the Bai family, but she knew that Bai Yongchang was always on guard against her, so she now only had an empty title.
She also wants to benefit herself.
Since the position of mistress cannot bring in money, she has to find ways to make money herself.
It is true that Duan Yishuang is greedy, but she is definitely not love-brained.
“I want to cooperate with the Zhan family in doing business, and I can’t let the Bai family find out.
Also, I want the Zhan family to protect me at the critical moment."
Duan Yishuang also didn't follow Zhan Xiumiao Moji.
She had thought about it before coming to Qing City.
She wants the position of the mistress of the Bai family, but now her way of making money is cut off by Bai Yongchang.
She must find a reliable partner.
“Regarding the cooperation, I can promise you on behalf of Xiao Yan.
It’s just asylum, it depends on what you have done!”
Zhan Xiumiao would not shelter a criminal.
This is his basic principle in life.
"If I made a mistake, I'll take the blame!
But if I was framed by Bai Yongchang, I won’t accept it! "
Duan Yishuang also stated her position.
"Okay, where are you now?"
As Zhan Xiumiao finished speaking, Duan Yishuang's voice of the live auctioneer came from the background.
"Mr. Zhan, I'm right at the door. What do you want me to do?"
Duan Yishuang changed into her dress and put on makeup early, but she didn't bring anyone with her.
This is completely different from the girl who used to be surrounded by people.
"you listen to me……"
After Zhan Xiumiao spoke a few words, Duan Yishuang nodded.
