No Money, No Patience

"580 million yuan? Why don't you go and rob a bank?" 

Lu Ling knew more or less about Bai Meiyue's intentions; in fact, he thought as long as the woman was willing to solve this matter privately, he would give her a million or two generously. 

But he never thought that Bai Meiyue had such sinister intentions. The second she opened her mouth, she demanded 580 million yuan! Did he look like someone who would give out such a big sum of money for such a small matter? 

Even if Bai Meiyue suffered, she was still alive, and well, wasn't she? She even turned the situation around in her favour. So why was she asking him to pay such a huge sum of money to her as compensation?

 "One and a half million," Lu Ling said to her sternly as he picked up the cheque book. He just wanted this God of Plague to get lost as soon as possible but just as he raised the pen in his hand, he heard Bai Meiyue's chilling voice, 

"This 580 million Yuan is not only my compensation," she told him with a sweet smile. "This is my fee to keep my mouth shut." 

"If you think you can threaten me with what happened—"

"Oh no. Of course, I am not foolish enough to think that I can make you part with such a huge sum so easily," Bai Meiyue remarked, and Lu Ling nodded his head, pleased with the fact that the woman was smart enough to understand such a simple thing. 

"But…" Bai Meiyue frowned. 

"But?" Lu Ling echoed. 

"But what if I say that I will tell your wife about your wonderful fetish, CEO Lu?" Bai Meiyue fixed her cold gaze at Lu Ling. "Are you still hiring college boys to serve you in bed? Does your wife know that your mistress is a man?" 

She curled her lips in a sneer before adding, "I bet the tabloids will be really eager to sell a story of a big shot who likes to play bottom in bed." 

CRASH!

Lu Ling stood up abruptly, causing the chair on which he was sitting to fall with an almighty thud. 

His expression, which was haughty and arrogant, turned pale and worried. 

"CEO!" 

The secretary and the assistants came running when they heard the sound of something falling inside the office. When the secretary saw that Lu Ling was not looking good, she couldn't help but look at Bai Meiyue in admiration. 

She had never seen Lu Ling look so startled and worried. As he was married to Gu Zejun, Lu Ling had always acted arrogant and unruffled. She had never seen him lose composure like this before. 

What kind of thing did Bai Meiyue say to him that his entire soul seemed to be on the verge of escaping through his mouth? 

The secretary was really curious but she still pretended to act professional and asked Lu Ling, "CEO, are you alright?" 

"I am fine," Lu Ling gritted his teeth and waved his hand dismissively. "Go back to your work." 

Of course, none of the employees dared to refuse a direct order from their boss. They all nodded and took their leave. 

Once the door was closed, Lu Ling looked at Bai Meiyue as if he wished he could skin her alive. 

"Where did you hear this nonsense from? I am telling you, Bai Meiyue if you dare—" 

"I even dared to go against my father. Who do you think you are?" Bai Meiyue rolled her eyes and sneered at Lu Ling. "I am giving you face by coming here and discussing this matter in private, CEO Lu. If you don't want to, then I will not waste my time either." 

She stood up from the chair and prepared to leave when Lu Ling stopped her. 

"Sit... down," he said through gritted teeth. 

Bai Meiyue snorted when she saw that the man was willing to back down. On whom was he trying to look down? Did he believe if he was to raise his voice on her, she would back down? 

Who cannot raise their voice here? She could do it too.

But what was the point when she could get what she wanted without doing so? 

Anyway, she knew that Lu Ling was going to stop her; after all, she had stepped on his little nerve. 

In her past life, when she was held captive by Lu Ling, Bai Meiyue found out about this little secret of Lu Ling. 

In the basement where she was captured and thrown, both men and women were being kept by Lu Ling. But this man would only keep the good-looking men for himself but would send the women to others. 

Back then, Lu Ling awakened as a powerful supernatural being, but his wife didn't. She was a normal human and was soon abandoned by her husband. 

With Gu Zejun no longer suppressing him, Lu Ling did whatever he wanted and lived his life how he wanted. 

Unfortunately for him, the Doomsday was yet to begin, and he was still suppressed by his wife, who owned this company. As long as Bai Meiyue had this handle on him, she knew that Lu Ling would do everything in his power to satisfy her demands. 

"How did you find out?" Lu Ling asked in a low voice. 

"Just how you found out about my accident and pushed it to the top," Bai Meiyue shot back. 

"Bai Meiyue—-" 

"Does it even matter?" She blinked. "Even if you find out about how and when the truth will not change, will it? So why not just transfer the money? This way, both you and I can part ways." 

Lu Ling gritted his teeth. He didn't want to take out a single penny and give it to this woman. But when she thought about how Bai Meiyue ruined her own family, Lu Ling felt a chill crawl under his skin. 

If this woman could ruin her own family, why would she let him off? 

And if his wife found out about this, Lu Ling shuddered. 

"I don't have this much money at present—"

"And I don't have the patience," Bai Meiyue volleyed back. "What should we do now?"
