Chapter 352: Lure Her In
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Alright, then compensate me.” The woman showed a disdainful expression. “This skirt is a limited edition! Valued at five hundred thousand! When will you transfer the money to me?”
“What? Five hundred thousand?” The old lady had never seen so much money in her life and suddenly felt that she was being intentionally deceived. Her face turned ugly. “What kind of skirt costs that much? Miss, are you trying to cheat me?”
“Do you dare to call me a cheat? Do you know where you are?” The woman became displeased upon hearing this. “Do you know who I am? Do 1 need to cheat you in front of so many people? 1 want to speak to your manager! You must be fired today!”
Realizing that she said the wrong thing and offended the wrong person, the old lady’s eyes showed a hint of fear.
Her son owed a lot of gambling debts, and he was being pressured to pay back the money. If she couldn’t earn a little more, her son might not escape tonight; someone might cut off his fingers with a knife!
If she lost this well-paying job that she had finally obtained, she wouldn’t be able to find anything that paid better.
With these thoughts, the old woman’s trembling body was about to kneel down in front of the woman.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a woman wearing a coat, whose appearance seemed somewhat familiar, actually stepped out from the crowd and spoke up for her.
“I say, Madam Liu, this dress isn’t that big of a deal for you. It just got a little wet. Your house also has people specifically to clean your gown. Don’t make it difficult for an elderly person here.”
“Oh, who are you, madam? Why have I never seen you before? Do you have the right to speak here?” The woman spoke with a tone sharper than before, more contemptuous than towards the old woman just now.
Being publicly mocked, Wang Yue’s face didn’t look good either, but she thought of her goal. She reluctantly maintained a smiling face. “How about this, I’ll compensate for this dress on her behalf.”
“Oh, everyone, come and see! We’ve encountered a living Bodhisattva!” The woman couldn’t help but smile and said, “Alright, compensate me now, and 1’11 spare her and won’t complain to her manager.”
The old lady, upon hearing this, was stunned for a moment. Shaking and stumbling, she walked over to Wang Yue, “Are you really going to help me?”
Wang Yue smiled, “Of course, but you need to write me an 1OU.”
Upon hearing the first sentence, the old lady’s eyes suddenly brightened. But the second sentence made her lose her spirit again.
However, the old woman reneged on promises a lot. Without much hesitation, she agreed, “Alright, as long as you can help me through this, I can write an IOU.”
In satisfaction, Wang Yue transferred the money to the woman’s account. After taking the IOU with the old lady’s signature, she waited until the crowd dispersed before pulling the old lady aside. “Now, you have only two options. Either help me with a task, or you have to pay me at least fifty thousand per month and clear the debt within a year. If not, I’ll take you to court and have you imprisoned.”
“What are you talking about?” The old woman didn’t expect to encounter so many difficult characters today. Her face also revealed some anger, “Miss, isn’t this too difficult for others?”
Wang Yue looked at her for a few seconds and suddenly burst into laughter. Then, she said, “Granny Wang, don’t you recognize me? I’m Wang Yue!”
Old Wang sized her up and down, her eyes suddenly widened in shock. “You’re Yueyue? Oh mine, how did you become so beautiful now? And this bag you’re carrying, it must be very expensive, right? Did you hook up with some wealthy guy?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized she had said something wrong. She quickly covered her mouth and changed her words, “Look at me, I really don’t know how to speak. Hooking up with a wealthy guy? Impossible! You must have become successful on your own! I didn’t expect you to be so successful. I’m truly happy for you.”
Wang Yue didn’t care at all about what Old Wang said. She came to the mountain villa today specifically to find Old Wang. She had an important matter for Old Wang to do.
But before that, Wang Yue decided to scare Old Wang a bit.

“At your age, why are you still working as a cleaner in the mountain villa? Doesn’t your son support you?”
Wang Yue knew the situation with Zhou Nan very well; she intentionally asked this question.
Old Wang didn’t know what she was thinking. Hearing her question, she subconsciously wanted to cover up for her son. “No, 1 just can’t stay idle at home. My son has made a lot of money. In fact, even if you didn’t help me just now, as long as 1 made a call to my son, he would immediately send the money over! That woman just now thought she was something special, not knowing that my son is now a big boss!”
A big boss? A big gambler with a lot of debt is more like it!
Wang Yue sneered in her heart, but on the surface, she smiled deeper. “I knew Nannan would be successful. Since that’s the case, have him transfer the money to me now. Let our two families get together more often in the future..”
