Upon hearing these words, Old Wang hesitated, her expression changing. “My son is busy. How about you go back first, and when he’s not busy, I’ll slowly explain the matter to him. After all, we are relatives. Are you afraid that I will run away?”

Wang Yue put away the smile on her face and said calmly, “You’re right. We are relatives, and helping each other is only natural. I’ll leave for now. If you encounter any trouble, you can call me directly.”

Wang Yue handed over her business card and proudly walked away with her handbag.

Behind her, Old Wang watched her alluring figure leave, then lowered her head to look at the business card.

After work that evening, she called her son, Zhou Nan, and told him about the encounter with Wang Yue at the manor.

Zhou Nan, upon hearing that his mother had signed an 1OU outside for five hundred thousand, became anxious. “Mom, what were you thinking? Five hundred thousand! Where am I supposed to find five hundred thousand? 1 don’t even have five dollars in my pocket right now!”

“Oh, my son, don’t be in such a hurry,” Old Wang didn’t get angry despite Zhou Nan’s harsh tone. Instead, she patiently comforted him like coaxing a child. “Think about it, Wang Yue can easily come up with five hundred thousand. Do you think she really cares about this small amount of money? As long as we maintain a good relationship with her, that IOU is as good as non-existent, right?”

“Mom, what do you mean?” Zhou Nan detected some clues and asked with interest.

Old Wang revealed a sly smile. “Son, you’re not a child anymore. It’s time for you to get married. In your current situation, you should find a wealthy woman. Now, Wang Yue is practically delivering herself to us. Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on you!”

Zhou Nan understood what his mother meant but was still hesitant. “But Wang Yue is so much older than me…”

“Oh, you silly boy! If she weren’t older, do you think she would even consider you?” Old Wang retorted mercilessly, afraid that her son would be foolish enough to let go of such a wealthy woman.

Zhou Nan looked embarrassed but nodded earnestly. “Okay, Mom, I know what to do. Give me her number.”

Spending some time at home with her daughter, Wang Yue received numerous messages from Zhou Nan.

She didn’t reply to a single one.

She didn’t have any interest in a gambler like Zhou Nan.

Even if she wanted a younger man, he had to be handsome. Besides, her sole target now was Mei Yun.

She couldn’t bear to continue living as a mistress.

She wanted to be the legitimate Mrs. Mei!

Having sent messages for so long, Zhou Nan found it boring. Moreover, he was under too much pressure from creditors recently, so he didn’t contact Wang Yue again.

However, the agreed-upon one-month period with Old Wang had come to an end.

Surprisingly, Wang Yue’s first proactive call to Old Wang was to demand repayment.

Old Wang panicked.

At that moment, the door of their small shabby house was being pounded from the outside. Mother and son huddled in the corner, afraid to make a sound.

Old Wang saw an opportunity in Wang Yue’s phone call.

“Yueyue!” Old Wang grasped at this lifeline, covering her mouth to lower her voice as much as possible. She pleaded, “Can you lend us some more money? Once we get through this difficult situation, I will definitely find a way to repay you.”

Wang Yue, drinking bird’s nest soup sent by Mei Yun’s mother in the living room, smiled leisurely. “No way. You don’t have money now, and if I continue to lend you, won’t it all go into a bottomless pit?”

“Yueyue, trust us one more time! You know, Nan Nan has a promising future. He’s smart and will surely make a fortune in the future!” Old Wang had always comforted herself with these thoughts.

She believed her son, born after much hardship, would surely become an outstanding person. Currently, he just lacked an opportunity!

Wang Yue’s indifferent voice came through the phone, “You can deceive yourself with those words, but since you’re so confident in Zhou Nan, 1 do have a money-making opportunity. 1 wonder if you dare to take it.”

Before they could respond, the iron door of their small house seemed on the verge of being kicked open from the outside. Zhou Nan urgently shouted, “Fine, fine, fine! 1’11 do whatever you want! Just give me the money now!”

Wang Yue was waiting for this exact response.

However, she was also afraid that Zhou Nan would take the money and then back out. She decided to state her terms upfront, “I can transfer the money to you first, but if you take the money and don’t follow through, 1 have ways to deal with you. You should know, 1 have plenty of money, and if I want you dead, you won’t live to see tomorrow!”

Wang Yue’s words left the mother and son completely stunned.

But if they didn’t hand over the money now, they might not escape this predicament.

With determination, Zhou Nan nodded and said resolutely, “Okay, Yue Yue, I swear to God. Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it.. Even if it’s killing someone, I won’t hesitate!”
