After Jiang Rui explained to Hu Fangli and Jiang Ruijiang the interest relationship in helping Joey regain Lu Lu's custody, Hu Lifang couldn't close her mouth with a smile.
She patted Jiang Rui on the shoulder: "Son, you are the smartest."
"It doesn't matter who he inherits his intelligence from." Father Jiang Bin couldn't restrain the smile on his face.
Jiang Rui is 24 years old this year and has reached the marriageable age, but which of the girls nowadays does not require a house and a car.
Last year, in order to support his son, he had spent 200,000 yuan to buy a car for his son.
He and Hu Fangli worked in the factory all their lives, and they didn't save much money. Of the 200,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan was Jiang Mo's two-year work savings after graduation and Lu's 80,000 yuan gift from Jiang Mo.
At that time they asked for half a million dollars, but the poor boy could only afford eighty thousand.
Jiang Bin and Hu Fangli were very angry when they thought of the past, but now that they are all dead, it is useless to think about these things.
Hu Fangli asked: "Then how much money should we ask them?"
"If it's too much, I guess people won't give it. There are so many orphans, so it's not necessary to adopt that little girl Lu Lu."
"Yes, we can't go too far."
"How much does that cost?"
Jiang Bin asked tentatively, "One hundred thousand?"
However, this figure was denied by Jiang Rui. He said: "For rich people like them, what is one hundred thousand yuan? We can't ask for too much, but one hundred thousand yuan is a little less."
He knows the price of Hermès. Among the luxury goods, a bag without a six-figure price is simply not worth it.
They adopted Lu Lu, but got a daughter. Isn't the daughter worth a bag
Jiang Rui compared a number with his hands.
Hu Fangli widened her eyes and said in surprise, "500,000?"
"Is this too much?"
Jiang Rui nodded, "Mom, you underestimate these high society people, half a million is nothing to them."
"Okay then, five hundred thousand."
"With these five hundred thousand, if your parents give you some more, you will have the down payment for your wedding room, son."
"What is the wedding room or not? With the 500,000 yuan, I will definitely use it to start a business. I can't make a fortune working for others for the rest of my life. I still have to be my own boss."
Jiang Rui felt that with his mind, he would be able to make a steady profit in doing business, but it was a pity that his family couldn't afford him the capital.
It's all right now, with the half a million yuan, he can do it boldly.
"Okay, son, Mom and Dad believe in you."
"Then let's call that woman quickly."
"Don't worry, let her wait anxiously for two days."
Here, the three members of the Jiang family were making wishful thinking in their hearts, with smiles blooming on their faces, feeling that their lives were about to undergo earth-shaking changes.
On the other side, as soon as Joey returned to the imperial capital, he immediately went to the crew to find Song Heran.
In this scene, Song Heran coaxes Lu Lu to sleep and tells Lu Lu a bedtime story.
In private, Song Heran is dressed like a trendy person who is at the forefront of fashion, and he wears a lot of jingling accessories, which looks a bit cumbersome.
The big boy in the play is only 16 years old and only in high school. It was a simple and pure time. He was wearing a white T-shirt and sweatpants, sitting by the bed, and telling his younger sister a bedtime story in a gentle tone.
Lu Lu, who only had a small head protruding from the quilt, looked at his brother with big smart eyes and listened to the story seriously.
The younger sister is soft and cute, and the older brother is handsome and handsome. How wonderful.
This is the scene in the play, but Joey still feels very warm.
Fortunately, Lu Lu had never been in contact with the family surnamed Jiang, otherwise he would have been destroyed.
Satisfied, the director yelled through the loudspeaker: "Ka, this one is over!"
Everyone was relieved by the director's voice, Song Heran got up from the bed and said, "Get up, little one."
Lu Lu blinked and said, "Brother, the story is not finished yet, Lu Lu still wants to hear it."
Song Heran lifted Lu Lu's quilt, hugged her down and said, "I'll tell you the story when I go back. Now Uncle Props is coming to pack things."
"Okay then, Lagougou, it doesn't count if brother doesn't speak."
"Since when have I counted my words?"
"often."
"Since when have I been so often? Lulu, are you talking nonsense!"
"Hmph, last time you said you wanted to take me to eat rabbit cake, but Lulu hasn't eaten it yet."
It turned out that Lu Lu was still thinking about this matter, last time there was a temporary change, he promised to make up, but the later drama crew's schedule was relatively tight, and he forgot about it when he didn't have time.
He said: "Next time, I will take you there next time when I have time."
Lu Lu snorted and turned his head away to see Joey.
She stuck out her little tongue at Song Heran and made a grimace, "I won't play with you anymore, I'm going to find Aunt Joey."
Said that Lu Lu deer ran towards Joey with his calf, and grabbed Joey's hand.
Lu Lu looked up at Joey, and shouted sweetly, "Auntie Qiao, why are you here?"
Joey touched Lu Lu's head, and said softly, "I'll check to see if Lu Lu is working hard."
Hearing this, Lu Lu quickly replied: "Of course, Uncle Fang Rui praised Lu Lu several times today."
"Then why did Uncle Fang Rui praise us Lulu?"
"He said Lulu was great!"
"Coincidentally, I think so too." Joey smiled and took out the lollipop that he had specially bought before from his bag, and said, "Lulu is so good, Aunt Joe rewarded Lulu with a lollipop, which is strawberry flavored. Oh."
"Wow, lollipop, Aunt Qiao, you are so kind." Joey unwrapped the lollipop bag and handed it to Lu Lu, "Okay, Lulu, let's go and play with Sister Feifei, my brother and I have something to do. talk."
"Okay." After Lu Lu answered, he thought of something, and said very worriedly: "Aunt Qiao, don't criticize my brother for his bad performance, or he will be sad."
"Pfft, don't worry, my brother is also doing very well, Aunt Qiao will not criticize my brother."
When Lu Lu heard this, he felt relieved, and obediently ran to the side.
At this moment, Song Heran walked over. Seeing no one around, he asked, "Sister Qiao, how is the situation?"
Joey shook his head, "Not very well."
"What's going on? Are they grandparents unwilling to do such a favor?"
"There is no one in the lounge, go to the lounge and tell."
When the two came to the lounge, Joey knew that Song Heran's character was impatient and easily got angry, so he said, "The situation is not that bad. The two old people insisted that they didn't know Lu Lu, and their son, Lu Lu Lu's uncle promised to go home and persuade his parents."
"Pretend not to know?" This is probably the most outrageous thing Song Heran has heard this year.
Their blood was running on Lu Lu's body. As grandparents, they could still pretend not to know each other when they knew that their granddaughter was being abused.
Are these people still human? Do you still have a conscience
The more Song Heran thought about it, the angrier he became, and he clenched his fists angrily.
Joey quickly comforted him: "Awesome, don't worry, I don't think that Uncle Lu Lu is unwilling to help, but wants to..."
"what do you want?"
"money."
"It's fine if they don't want to raise them, but they still want to ask us for money?"
Joey nodded, Jiang Rui appeared in his mind.
Jiang Rui looks okay, but he has a sleazy air all over his body, and he can tell that he is an idler at a glance.
He was so disgusted with this matter at first, but later his attitude changed drastically. It was obvious that he had his own little calculations in his heart.
For these shameless family members of Lu Lu, Song Heran really felt that his eyes were opened.
The best relatives in the TV series would not dare to act like this, where did these people come from.
Song Heran was so angry that he tried to restrain his anger and asked, "How much do they want?"
If he could stop Lu Lu from falling into the fire pit once and for all, and completely get rid of his vicious stepmother and top relatives, he would be willing to endure it.
"I left my contact information and asked them to think about it and give me an answer. I haven't received a call yet."
For the first time in his life, Song Heran felt so aggrieved, but he couldn't explode, he could only endure.
It's not because of money, Song Heran is a super rich second generation, and he has made a lot of money in the past few years since his debut, he doesn't care about money if he has money.
It just made him feel powerless and helpless.
Knowing the other party's treacherous plan, but still wanting to let the other party's treacherous plan succeed.
Song Heran held back his anger and said, "Okay, then sister Qiao, tell me as soon as you receive the news."
Because of this incident, even the air in the lounge became oppressive, and Song Heran immediately left the lounge after speaking.
Walking out of the lounge, he happened to see Lu Lu squatting next to a pile of props, looking very seriously.
The prop teacher is setting the scene, a place that was empty one moment, becomes a comfortable space with a completely different style the next moment.
Lu Lu felt that all this was miraculous, and Xiaozui kept asking how it was done, and how it was done.
Sometimes when she sees other people struggling to move things, she stretches out a small hand to help lift it. It is not clear whether she has used all her strength or not, but the little figure who is gnashing her teeth as if she has exhausted all her strength seems to be quite vigorous, and that posture looks pretty good. funny.
Song Heran, who was still very depressed just now, the haze in his heart was swept away at this moment, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.
He waved to Lu Lu and shouted: "Lu Lu, come here, don't be too helpful."
Lu Lu is so small, not as tall as anyone's thighs, in case someone gets busy and doesn't notice her, don't bump into her at that time.
Hearing his brother calling him, Lu Lu immediately ran over bouncing.
"Brother, the deer is here."
"Come on, let's go to Uncle Fang Rui's place to watch the replay."
"it is good."
Before Song Heran reached out, Lu Lu stretched out his small hand to hold Song Heran.
Song Heran looked down at Lu Lu who was only holding his little finger, and the smile on his face deepened.
As long as he can remember, he has lived in Nuoda's villa, took the unlimited black card given by his parents, and lived the envied life of a rich second generation.
But only he himself knows that he is not happy at all. There was no one else in the whole house except the servant who took good care of him.
He has never felt the warmth of his family, the feeling of relying on his family or being depended on by his family, never before.
The appearance of Lu Lu made him experience the feeling of being depended on and needed by others.
Therefore, everything is worth it for Lu Lu.
***
Ever since Joey returned to the Imperial Capital from Jindu City, they have been anxiously waiting for the Jiang family's reply.
Finally, during the lunch break on the third day, Joey received a call from Jiang Rui.
The situation was exactly as Joey expected, the other party just wanted money.
On the phone, Jiang Rui said a series of words, implying Joey inside and outside the words.
Joey was not interested in hearing this, so he said straight to the point: "Just tell me, how much is it?"
"Sister Qiao, I just like a straightforward person like you. Don't worry, I don't want much, just half a million."
"Five hundred thousand?"
Joey was shocked by this number, and the other party was obviously a lion.
In fact, if the Jiang family voluntarily helped them, with Song Heran's character, they would give them tens of thousands of red envelopes to express their gratitude, but they did not expect this family to be so greedy.
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Rui smiled and said, "Sister Qiao, five hundred thousand is not much for rich people like you, isn't it worth a few clothes soon? Isn't it a good deal for a few clothes to exchange for a cute and well-behaved daughter?" ?”
Five hundred thousand is not a small amount. In Huaguo, if the biological parents' family is difficult, they can adopt the child to others for adoption, but they must not accept large amounts of money from the other party. This is equivalent to buying and selling people.
Joy just knows these common senses, but she is not very clear about the specific situation, and she needs to consult a lawyer.
After so many years of being in the intriguing entertainment industry, Joey has become more discerning.
She clicked on the phone call recording function.
"Jiang Rui, my colleague talked to me just now, but I didn't hear what you said clearly."
"I said, isn't half a million dollars just a few clothes for rich people like you? Isn't it worthwhile to spend half a million dollars for a cute and well-behaved daughter?"
"Aren't you selling your sister's child to us?"
"Don't say it so harshly, whether it's for sale or not, as long as you give money, Lu Lu's custody will be yours, and she will be your daughter from now on, and she has nothing to do with our Jiang family."
Joey sighed and said, "Okay, then I'll discuss it with my friend."
"Hurry up, I'm waiting for the money here."
"Okay, got it."
The phone hung up, and Joey looked at the recorded recording.
She was not in a hurry to tell Song Heran about this, but sent it to a lawyer she was familiar with, and asked the other party how to deal with this situation.
Soon, the lawyer gave Joey an answer.
If the other party asks for money, it has already been suspected of child trafficking.
