Naturally, We Have to Give Him a Taste of His Own Medicine

Luo Xue rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Zhou Wanwan, are you seriously ill?"

Zhou Wanwan shrugged and said, "I won't let you die until you give me the gold, and until I figure out who the father of the child in your belly is."

"First, have someone deliver the gold to me now," Zhou Wanwan said calmly.

Luo Xue sobbed, "Where would I, a young woman, get so much money?"

"What do you mean by 'woman' now? When you signed the contract, why didn't you say you were a woman?"

"Don't worry! I have no intention of making things difficult for a woman like you. I've already gone to fetch your father. Let's wait here for a moment." Zhou Wanwan was too lazy to pay attention to her. She was just a pretty face, all show and no substance.

Tears streamed down Luo Xue's face.

"Are you... really going to go this far?"

"I'm pregnant! Are you trying to kill us both?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at Luo Xue, blinked, and said:

"Hey! Where were you before? You're capable of independent thinking now, aren't you?"

Didn't you sign this? Didn't you draw this seal? There are so many people watching, did I force you?

What kind of moral blackmail are we talking about now?

The people nearby nodded and said, "This isn't the young girl's fault; she clearly wanted to sign it herself."

"With so many people watching! I feel like this Luo Xue is acting strangely; she's not at all what we imagined."

"How hypocritical."

Zhou Wanwan was overjoyed to hear this. "Just the three of them, and each of them gets ten taels of silver, honestly, that's just wonderful."

The three men stared in shock at the ten taels of silver in their hands, exclaiming, "Oh my! Miss Zhou, you're incredibly generous!"

"Thank you, Miss Zhou. We were just speaking our minds."

Luo Xue was so angry she was trembling.

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said:

"It is precisely because you spoke out that I am rewarding you."

I can't stand people who do all sorts of despicable things and then turn around and blame others.

Many people around her echoed her sentiment, and Zhou Wanwan continued to distribute money, giving everyone a share of one tael of silver each.

Luo Xue was so angry her face turned green.

Zhou Wanwan didn't care; she signed up and then went to a nearby restaurant.

Just as I entered the restaurant to rest for a bit, a man who looked like a manager walked over and asked, "Who's Zhou Wanwan?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and asked, "Where are you from?"

The steward said arrogantly, "Then come with me! I am the steward of the Luo Family."

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "The steward of the Luo Family? You've come to return the money?"

Steward Luo scoffed coldly:

"Pay back the money? What are you dreaming of? You're asking for 100,000 taels of gold the moment you open your mouth."

Our master said you should go to sleep now, and you can have anything you want in your dreams.

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "So, you're going to back out?"

Steward Luo scoffed coldly:

"My master said there's no gold, but if you feel you're losing out, we can give you the young lady."

Our young lady has been delivered to you. You may kill her or do whatever you wish."

Luo Xue was brought over with red eyes. She looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Are you satisfied now?"

Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes and said, "What am I satisfied with? I didn't even see a single coin of my 100,000 taels of gold, and I ended up with two worthless pieces of you. I've lost out big time."

Luo Xue sneered, "My father is known Jiangnan for his financial acumen. You really think this contract will be valid? Dream on."

Zhou Wanwan raised an eyebrow and looked at Luo Xue, saying, "You seem quite happy."

Seeing you get the short end of the stick makes me happier than anything else.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:

"I actually feel sorry for you. You're both daughters of the Luo Family, but you're treated so differently."

Compared to Luo Shuang, you're worlds apart. Don't you feel bad?

Luo Xue looked at Zhou Wanwan in surprise and said, "You actually know Luo Shuang?"

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said, "Your stepsister is quite capable. Your father plans to make her the heir to the Luo Family. Are you willing to accept that?"

Luo Xue shook her head and said:

"So what if I'm unwilling? I'm just a woman. Originally, I wanted to rely on the Ji Family, but unfortunately, Madam Ji looked down on my lowly status."

Now White Deer Academy is unlikely to accept me, and I'm completely out of options.

"You caused all of this."

Zhou Wanwan sneered:

"Did I cause this? Luo Xue, you need to get one thing straight."

I just made a bet with you; it didn't cause you any real harm.

It seems you still don't understand where you went wrong. Go back!

Luo Xue suddenly knelt down on the ground:

"I know I was wrong. I have no future. My father said that it's impossible for me to produce 100,000 taels of gold today."

"Either I stay here as a slave, or I'll be bound by a white silk noose. I don't want to die."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Luo Xue and said, "I won't accept someone like you. You're arrogant and your character is no good either."

Luo Xue lowered her head and sobbed, "I know, I was wrong. I'm willing to sign a contract of servitude, just like Shen Wanjun. I'll do anything you ask."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and asked, "Do you still want the baby in your belly?"

Luo Xue looked up at Zhou Wanwan and said, "It's entirely up to you, Miss."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Bring me the contract of indenture."

Zheng Xing'an quickly brought over the contract of indenture, and Luo Xue signed it without even looking at it.

She now understands the situation clearly. Zhou Wanwan is indeed difficult to please, but if she goes back to the Luo Family, her life will be even more difficult.

After signing the papers, she looked at Zhou Wanwan tremblingly and asked, "Miss, should we abort the child or not?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the baby in her belly and said:

Why did you abort the child? The child is innocent, and besides, isn't it better that the child doesn't have a father?

Your father is getting senile; he only has two daughters, so isn't this child just a boy who fell from the sky?

You can stay here with me until the baby is born, then we'll talk about it.

Luo Xue nodded, Zheng Xing'an asked softly, "Miss, why do you want Luo Xue to stay?"

Zhou Wanwan said softly:

Because she's useful!

With her around, the Luo Family's property and the Ji Family's property will all be mine in the future, so naturally I will save them.

Moreover, Luo Xue is actually quite capable and has strong management skills.

The Luo Family's success today is largely due to her efforts.

It's a pity she insisted on climbing the social ladder by relying on men.

Originally, Luo Xue managed many of the Luo Family's businesses, but now that this incident has occurred, all of Luo Xue's businesses have had to be handed over to Luo Shuang.

Zhou Wanwan squinted and said:

"Master Luo really knows how to be disgusting."

He'd rather send his own daughter here than pay any money. What a Zhou Bapi!

Zheng Xing'an looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "It really is disgusting."

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said:

"Since that's the case, we'll naturally retaliate in kind."

He recently brought a lot of salt and grain, intending to sell them for a high price.
