Chapter 114: Old Master Di's threat 5

"Fifty million. Leave my grandson."

Old Master Di looked at Lan Keqin coldly. This "50 million" sounded as easy as "5 yuan." Since he had asked someone to bring Lan Keqin here, of course, he had also checked her background. Fifty million was enough for her family. Whether it was just for money or not, it was enough for her family to live for a lifetime.

Lan Keqin never thought that Old Master Di would offer such a condition. It was as if she had been slapped hard. Not only was it painful, but she also felt humiliated.

When she first got together with Di Junlin, it was indeed for the sake of money. However, she had no other choice but to sign a contract with Di Junlin. Now that her mother's condition had basically stabilized, her three-month contract with Di Junlin was about to end. However, it was still more than a week away.

Whether it was because of money or because she liked di Junlin, she would not accept Di Junlin*'s 50 million. In her world, money was nothing more than a worldly possession. It could not be compared to family love or friendship. Of course, love could not be compared to that either.

If this 50 million yuan was to buy off the time she spent with Di Junlin in the past few days, she would not sell off the last week she spent with Di Junlin. The time she spent with Di Junlin was not long. How could she accept this condition?

If she accepted this condition, not only would her value drop but she would also sell off her feelings for Di Junlin.

Was 50 million yuan too much? Or too little?

Fifty million yuan might be too much for a little girl like her. It was enough for her to live with her family for a lifetime. But what about the love in her heart?

Love could not be measured with money.

"Impossible."

Lan Keqin straightened her back. Her pair of clear eyes stared at Grandfather Di as she spoke resolutely.

"Why? Do you think 50 million is not enough? In that case, Grandfather Di will give you one hundred million. You must leave my grandson."

Grandfather Di suddenly stood up and walked to Lan Keqin's side. He looked at her and spoke word by word.

Even though Grandfather Di was already old, he was still the Chairman of the Di Corporation. The prestige he exuded was not inferior to a country's president.

"Let alone 100 million, even if you gave me 1 billion, I wouldn't agree."

Lan Keqin raised her head and stared straight at the old man. In her heart, she didn't fear his prestige at all. She felt that not only was she given a tight slap, she was also trampled on her dignity. For the sake of her loved ones. For the sake of her loved ones... She could forgo her dignity. But for the sake of her own dignity, she had no choice.

In a person's life, if one could even sell their own dignity, what else could they live on? At least in her world, so what if they didn't have money? Even if they didn't have money, they still had to live with dignity.

She had to make a contract with Di Junlin but she had a choice in this matter. Since she had a choice, she wouldn't allow anyone to trample on her love and dignity.

"Oh?"

Di Junlin* casually replied with an "oh." Then, he looked at Lan Keqin with a malevolent expression. His tone was filled with endless sarcasm. "Hmph! One billion? You really think highly of yourself."

Lan Keqin did not say anything. Instead, she looked at Grandfather Di indifferently. She was waiting for him to speak what he was going to say next. Her clenched fist slowly loosened. It seemed that she would not be able to live a good day today. Grandfather Di was clearly targeting her and insulting her.

"Thank you for your praise."

Lan Keqin smiled. She did not want to say anything at first but she suddenly said something like this. Others were belittling her. was she going to be slapped by others?

"Hmph!"

Grandfather Di waved his hand and snorted. He was clearly a kind grandfather but the mockery on his face pierced Lan Keqin's heart. On the surface, she didn't care, but how could she not care in her heart?

After all, he was the biological grandfather of Di Junlin...

"Say it! What do you want to do to leave Junlin?"

Grandfather Di didn't beat around the bush and directly asked. He thought, since she was Di Junlin's lover, then it was all for money. But this little girl in front of him seemed to have a big appetite. She didn't want to leave Di Junlin even if it was one billion. In that case, he could only ask for her conditions.

Lan Keqin stood where she was and shook her head in amusement. Her voice was even softer than the wind but it was very stubborn and firm. "No matter what the conditions are, I will not leave him." Once the contract was completed, she would leave on her own accord. She wouldn't be driven away or forced by others. Unless Di Junlin ended the contract first, she wouldn't leave early.

"No matter what the conditions are?"

"Yes." The answer was still firm and decisive.

Grandfather Di silently sized up Lan Keqin. After a long while, he coldly said, "Hmph! I'm afraid you have your eyes set on the position of the Young Madam of the Di family, right?"

Lan Keqin originally wanted to deny it, but Grandfather Di spoke even faster. "Let me tell you, the Di family is not a place that a useless girl like you can enter. Do you think a village girl like you has the qualifications to marry into the Di family? Even if Junlin is willing, an old man like me will not agree."

Grandfather Di's words were like a steel needle, piercing into Lan Keqin's heart without any warning. The pain was so painful that she was bleeding profusely. She did not fight for her happiness because she was a village person, while Di Junlin was a proud son of heaven. His future wife would definitely not be a peasant without any education or background.

She was also a peasant. It was not that she looked down on peasants, nor did she feel that it was shameful to be born in the countryside. It was just that she felt that the gap between her status and Di Junlin was too big. It was simply unrealistic. Di Junlin was the CEO of the Di Corporation. His marriage would not be decided by him. For someone like him, his wife would definitely be from a large family or a political marriage. If he married a peasant girl, who knew how much the Di Corporation's stock would be worth?

The two months she spent with Di Junlin wasn't just as his lover. Because she didn't go to work, she would watch TV and read the newspapers. Almost every time, there would be a topic about the Di corporation. Even if she was a pig, she should understand some of it.

She didn't want to drag down Di Junlin, nor did she want him to become the laughing stock of the world. To love someone, it wasn't just possession. She also wanted to silently watch him be happy and joyful.

Lan Keqin lowered her eyes. At this moment, she really didn't dare to look at Old Master Di. She was afraid to see a look that would make her feel even sadder and miserable.

Old Master Di ignored Lan Keqin's pale face. Instead, he continued, "Moreover, Junlin already has a fiancee. She is the only daughter of the Cass Empire's King. She is also my arranged granddaughter-in-law. As for you, do you think you can marry my grandson just because of your pretty face? You are simply dreaming."
