Chapter 29
“Three… three million?”
Li Qiang almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. A look of shock was written all over his face. If it wasn’t for Jian Ai sitting in front of him so realistically, he would never believe that a fourteen-year-old girl would dare to ask him for three million yuan!
Was she crazy from being poor?
Compared to Li Qiang’s shock, Jian Ai calmly nodded and said, “That’s right, I want three million yuan, not a cent less.”
Her tone was firm, with an attitude that did not allow for rejection. In her previous life, Jian Ai had worked hard in the business world for many years to handle such one-on-one negotiations with ease.
Li Qiang still couldn’t react in time. The number three million was still floating in his mind. Even if he had millions of assets, three million wasn’t something that he could take out easily.
“Student Jian, Uncle knows that you have been wronged in this matter, but three million… Do you know that this is extortion…” Li Qiang suddenly didn’t know how to face Jian Ai.
If she was an adult of the same age as him, Li Qiang could naturally refuse her with an uncompromising attitude. However, she was only fourteen years old. Facing a child who was the same age as his daughter, he felt somewhat powerless.
Li Qiang felt a huge difference in their age and status, so he didn’t know where to start. However, Jian Ai didn’t think so. Hearing this, she smiled indifferently and said, “You can define it however you want. Whether it’s extortion or not, it doesn’t matter. I’ve clearly told Uncle Li that this is the condition for me to agree to a private settlement. Furthermore, I won’t give you too much time to consider. All the decisions will be left in this room. Once you leave this room, you won’t have any room for regret.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Ai stood up and said again, “Three million yuan and your daughter. Whether it is worth it or not, you can decide for yourself.”
After saying this last sentence, Jian Ai walked towards the door without any hesitation. If Li Qiang did not agree to her conditions before opening the door, the matter would be settled. Jian Ai was not joking.
“Alright… I promise you, three million!”
Just as Jian Ai raised her hand to open the door, Li Qiang seemed to have made a huge mental struggle. In the end, between money and his daughter, he still chose his daughter.
Li Qiang felt the invisible pressure on his body disappear after saying this, and something instantly sucked out the strength in his body. A girl’s aura was actually pressuring him. This was a situation that was extremely rare even in business.
On the other hand, the corners of Jian Ai’s mouth curled up into a smile. Actually, she was also betting on Li Yunmei’s importance to Li Qiang. Obviously, this father loved his daughter very much, so she won the bet.
Li Yunmei deserved it. It was not a bad deal for her to buy Jian Ai’s life for three million yuan. Hence, she could not blame her for taking advantage of her!
“Uncle Li, you should bring a checkbook, right? One for one million yuan, the other for two million yuan. Sign them now,” Jian Ai said to Li Qiang.
At this moment, Li Qiang was like a deflated balloon. Hearing this, he nodded. Then, he took out a checkbook from his bag and signed for a one million yuan check and another for two million yuan.
Jian Ai took the check and nodded in satisfaction. “This matter will end here. But Uncle Li, remember to warn your daughter to stay away from me. Otherwise, there won’t be such a discount next time!”
Before Li Qiang could say anything, Jian Ai opened the door and walked out of the interrogation room.
Looking at the interrogation room door, Li Qiang helplessly sighed. ‘Jian Changsheng, you have such a good daughter!’
