Chapter 307: Chapter 307

Le Tong listened quietly as he spoke a long string of words all in one breath. When he finally stopped, she slowly asked, "Chairman, why don’t you name a price and let me hear it?"

Le Tong seemed to hear the sound of the other party gritting his teeth harshly, "Le Tong, don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! You’re really ungrateful! Is Baobao really your biological child?"

Le Tong chuckled twice, "Sorry to disappoint you! Baobao is indeed my biological son! You’re the one who wants to negotiate about the deal, so the price should be set by you. Isn’t that normal? As for whether I accept it or not, that’s my business!"

Originally, she had no grievances against Mr. Ji, and there was no need to offend him.

But what he said was too harsh, and Le Tong was a person with a strong sense of self-respect, how could she be insulted and ridiculed for no reason?

There was something she wouldn’t tell him.

Back then, she had already given up Baobao once for her mother; this time, if she had to let go, it would only be over her dead body!

For a mother, a child is her life. No amount of money is worth anything compared to a child.

So, what she was saying now was in fact like playing with a ball of yarn to tease a cat.

The person on the other end of the phone was obviously infuriated by her words.

"Go ahead, I’m listening."

Le Tong’s sharp tongue, unless she didn’t want to, could infuriate someone to death in no time without responsibility.

"Le Tong, don’t think that just because Ah Ru is infatuated with you, you can act high and mighty. You absolutely won’t get into the Ji Family’s door. Ah Ru is just playing with you. In the end, he’s going to marry CoCo!"

Le Tong laughed, these men from the Ji Family, do they all have such a high opinion of themselves?

Do they think the Ji Family’s door is gold-plated with diamonds? Does everyone want to squeeze in?

"Chairman, please get to the point, I’m not a doorman, and I’m not interested in your Ji Family’s door!" Le Tong gently reminded the man on the phone who was already enraged.

"Three million! That’s enough to work at the Ji Family for twenty years!"

Le Tong clicked her tongue, "Three million? Chairman, is that all you can offer? I thought Baobao was your precious treasure. Turns out, he’s only worth this much, just three million?"

Without waiting for a response, Le Tong added, "Hey! No, it’s Baobao plus your son, only worth three million? That’s really funny, I thought together they’d be worth at least eight to ten billion, but it’s only three million?"

The man’s voice was trembling with anger this time, which somewhat relieved Le Tong’s frustration.

Originally, she had no intention of offending this man, after all, he was Baobao’s grandfather. From Baobao’s words, Le Tong could tell this grandfather was not bad to Baobao.

However, his words hit Le Tong’s sore spot, or rather, any mother wouldn’t tolerate someone pricing their child!

It’s said that everyone’s integrity and loyalty have a price.

But for the vast majority of mothers, their child is priceless!

And Le Tong had once reluctantly put a price of fifty thousand on Baobao because of her mother, and for that, she suffered for more than five years. She thought she would live her whole life burdened with this pain and shackle.

Now, what she needs to do is try her best to make it up to Baobao, instead of abandoning him for money once again.

Not to mention three million, or even three billion, even if Mr. Ji offered the entire Ji Family in exchange, Le Tong would not be tempted!

The man on the other end seemed to have caught his breath.

"Tell me, how much will make you let go?" By this point, he seemed to not understand that Le Tong had no interest in discussing this transaction with him at all.

"Or, give me the Ji Family? Then I might consider it!"

Le Tong was no longer interested in such a conversation, so she named a price that the other party could never meet.

As far as she knew, most of the current Ji Family shares belong to Ji Rui and Baobao, and because of his two sons, Mr. Ji had almost sold off the shares he had, and the buyer was Ji Rui.

So, the current Ji Family assets belonged to Ji Rui, and strictly speaking, had almost nothing to do with Mr. Ji.

"You crazy woman! We’ll see about that!"

An exasperated Mr. Ji threw down a harsh comment and hung up directly after being provoked by Le Tong’s words.

Over here, Le Tong, holding the phone, sat in the dim nightlight for a long, long time in a daze.

Not long after she hung up, Ji Rui, who had just returned home, received a call from Mr. Ji.

Ji Rui frowned and stared at the screen, where the words "Mr. Ji" were flashing incessantly. The small bit of warmth and comfort he had just accumulated in Le Tong’s house quickly vanished because of these words.

The phone stopped, Ji Rui was still staring at the screen, and soon, the phone rang again, and Ji Rui finally answered it.

Actually, he didn’t need to think, this man must be calling to tell him to quickly bring Baobao back home.

But Ji Rui felt that although Le Tong’s place was a bit lacking, in both psychological and physical terms, Baobao would receive the best care there.

"Ah Ru, listen to a recording!"

The other party didn’t say any more nonsense, and after saying this, a complete recording of the conversation between Le Tong and Mr. Ji came through Ji Rui’s phone clearly.

Ji Rui’s brow furrowed tighter and tighter as he patiently listened to the entire recording.

Before he could speak, Mr. Ji already spoke, "Ah Ru, this kind of greedy woman, do you still intend to keep her by your and Baobao’s side?"

Even though Ji Rui had Mr. Ji’s blood in his veins and once held the same view and bias towards Le Tong as Mr. Ji,

But that was a matter of several months ago.

Now, faced with Mr. Ji and Le Tong, he, as a son, actually chose to trust Le Tong one-sidedly!

"I remember, I told you not to target her, did you forget, sir?"

Ji Rui’s tone carried the chill of icy wind, sweeping through the phone to the man on the other side.

"Ah Ru, have you gone crazy too? How can you protect a woman like her?"

Mr. Ji thought, no matter how angry Ji Rui was with him, they remained as close relatives with the same blood, father and son. There was never any lasting grudges between father and son.

In comparison, Le Tong would ultimately be an outsider.

He firmly believed that Ji Rui, who shared his blood, would never turn against him for an outsider. Moreover, as he understood, his son never liked Le Tong much, having scolded her in the hospital just days ago.

Therefore, he confidently played this recording for his son.

He was fully convinced that, after listening to this recording, his son would absolutely see Le Tong’s true colors!

At the very least, he hoped to throw that woman into some forgotten place, without spending a penny, and successfully remove this major threat from his heart, while keeping his son and precious grandson safe.
