Chapter 513: Chapter 265: The Nobles of Lu City!_2
“It will take at least three days to raise the funds.”
“We hope that Mr. Jianmu can grant the Gao Family a three-day grace period and return the Whale-typed Divine Beast first!”
“We the Gao Family would never dare to deceive in such matters!”
On hearing this, She Wan rolled her eyes secretly.
Indeed, the Gao Family needed time to secure 360 billion Dragon Rising Coins.
Since the Gao Family has invested all their money in marine trading, it won’t be easy to withdraw it right away.
Could it be that Gao Hongying was hoping to borrow on the name of the Gao Family’s reputation and swindle Mr. Jianmu without giving anything in return?
To swindle without giving anything, the least he could have done was to offer collateral. However, Gao Hongying had not brought up the matter of collateral at all.
While the Gao Family might not have the cash handy, they do possess materials worth 360 billion Dragon Rising Coins.
Even at this time, Gao Hongying was still overextending his goodwill with Fang Mu, which only added to Gao Wenyuan’s hatred for him.
Since Gao Hongying was willing to deplete his own value, she had to seize this opportunity to gain more advantages.
“Father, I’m in a difficult position and I don’t know how to relay your request to Mr. Jianmu!”
As an experienced veteran, Gao Hongying instantly understood Gao Wenyuan’s intentions upon hearing her words.
At this point, Gao Hongying didn’t have the patience to beat around the bush with Gao Wenyuan, he asked directly:
“What do you want in return for striving for this opportunity for the family?”
Gao Hongying didn’t feel like playing games, and Gao Wenyuan felt the same.
Fang Mu obviously wanted to profit from the Gao Family, and he would certainly not agree to their request for a three-day extension.
If she didn’t make her demands now and secure Gao Hongying’s agreement, once Fang Mu refused the request, it would be difficult for her to bring it up again!
“Father, I wish to improve my strength as soon as possible. I hope to receive an additional amount of resources worth two billion Dragon Rising Coins from the family each future year.”
“And, I want an additional chance to use the Sacred Relics every month!”
Previously, Gao Hongying promised Gao Wenyuan that she would enjoy the same treatment as Gao Hengyun.
Now, Gao Wenyuan’s demand was essentially to elevate her status above Gao Hengyun’s.
Gao Hengyun is Gao Hongying’s biological son and Gao Wenyuan’s demands clearly intended to coerce Gao Hongying into agreeing.
Gao Hongying’s eyes flickered, but in the end, he agreed to Gao Wenyuan’s conditions.
In Gao Hongying’s eyes, even if Gao Wenyuan was highly talented, it would be tough for her to stay beside Mr. Jianmu for two years, considering how he was exploiting her.
Therefore, agreeing to these demands was not a big deal.
“Wenyuan, it is only right that you make these demands since you’ve contributed so much to the family! Father will fulfill your wishes!”
“I hope you can continue to support the family in the future.”
“Why don’t you make the call to Mr. Jianmu here?!”
“It’s also a good chance for me to find out Mr. Jianmu’s intentions!”
Hearing this, Gao Wenyuan agreed immediately, clearly showing that she had no hidden agenda towards the family.
Gao Wenyuan was not only unopposed to Gao Hongying’s demand, but she also hoped that Gao Hongying could listen to her conversation with Fang Mu.
She wanted Gao Hongying to hear Fang Mu’s ruthless rejection, to save her the trouble of explaining Fang Mu’s response later.
That way, even if Gao Hongying is dissatisfied, he wouldn’t vent his anger on her.
“Father, if I have achieved anything, it’s all thanks to your cultivation. I am deeply grateful!”
“It’s my responsibility and also the biggest pursuit of my life to contribute to the family.”
“Rest assured, as long as I am with Mr. Jianmu, I’ll always consider the family’s interests every passing day.”
“However, before making this call, I have something to say.”
“Based on my understanding of Mr. Jianmu, I get the feeling that he’s unlikely to accept your request!”
Listening to Gao Wenyuan’s words, Gao Hongying suddenly wondered if he had been too hard on her by using her so much.
Gao Wenyuan had truly been trying her best for the family’s benefit, while he had been making constant demands of her.
Perhaps he should treat Gao Wenyuan better in the future.
Of course, only if Gao Wenyuan has value to the family!
“Wenyuan, you can’t predict how Jianmu will respond on the other end of the call, and this has nothing to do with you.”
“Call him with ease of mind. Even if one day you can no longer stay with Mr. Jianmu, our family will always be your solid backing!”
Gao Wenyuan made a relieved expression upon hearing that and dialed Fang Mu’s number.
However, in actuality, she was secretly feeling a wave of nausea.
Both Gao Hengyun’s oppression and Gao Hongying’s ultimatum were constantly echoing in Gao Wenyuan’s ears.
It was precisely this pressure that made her want to cling to Fang Mu.
Even though she had the Gao Family’s blood, the Gao Family was not her final destination.
If one day, she could no longer stay beside Fang Mu and had to return to the Gao Family, even if Gao Hongying wanted to let her go, Gao Hengyun would not!
Given Gao Hongying’s doting on Gao Hengyun, Gao Hongying would eventually agree to Gao Hengyun’s requests to give her to Gao Hengyun after persistent requests.
At that time, she would have to bear Gao Hengyun’s insults and tortures every day.
Fortunately, Fang Mu had foreseen that Gao Hongying would ask her to make this call.
She could just go ahead and call Fang Mu and she didn’t need to worry about exposing anything, even if Gao Hongying was right there beside her.
Gao Hongying initially thought that Fang Mu would demand an initial deposit from the Gao Family during the call, in order to test their limits.
