He was a Xiao, after all. In this woman's eyes, was he only worth a mere five hundred thousand?
Fury ignited within Xiao Shuo.
No matter how insignificant he might seem, he was still a Xiao! This damn woman... He'd make her pay, sooner or later.
"One million!" Ye Yuning countered.
Chen Wei was speechless. She pressed a hand to her forehead, a sense of doom washing over her.
"I'm telling you, you—!" Xiao Shuo sputtered.
"Two million," Ye Yuning cut in smoothly.
Xiao Shuo fell silent. This wretched woman. She knows I'm desperate for money right now, doesn't she?
And it was true; he was incredibly short on funds.
When he'd heard Ye Yuning offer five hundred thousand earlier, he'd actually been tempted.
But for him, a Xiao, to compromise for a mere five hundred thousand? How humiliating would that be if word got out?
"I'm a Xiao, after all! Are you trying to humiliate me with money?"
"Five million!" Ye Yuning declared, her tone indifferent, laced with arrogance.
