Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 684: Turning Hostile Due to Lack of Money

"Fifty thousand, that much? Why don’t you just go rob someone?" Lu Ling was so agitated that her voice unconsciously grew louder. Instantly, the entire café’s attention focused on them.

The two women both looked uneasy, and what they said was easily misinterpreted. People immediately started guessing the relationship between the two.

Some said they were a wife and a mistress, others guessed they were a debtor and creditor.

What others were thinking, Lu Ling and Cheng Li didn’t know. When Lu Ling realized everyone’s eyes were on them, she only then noticed she might have spoken too loudly in her excitement.

Looking up, she glared fiercely at those people, then whispered to Cheng Li, "Fifty thousand is too much."

"Lu Ling, fifty thousand might not even be enough. Do you think finding someone is that simple?" If it were before, Cheng Li definitely wouldn’t have dared to ask for such a large amount.

But since she started following Brother Qiang, she had seen more money and learned more things, realizing that fifty thousand was still a conservative price.

Of course, if it was just to find an ordinary person, it wouldn’t cost that much. But how could an ordinary person get Jiang Xue killed?

So, she either wouldn’t hire someone, or she’d hire a top-notch assassin, to ensure there would be no mistakes.

"I don’t know, but I don’t have money." Lu Ling shook her head. She really didn’t know how much it would cost to hire someone. The last time, it was Gao Yang who paid. As for how much he paid, Gao Yang didn’t tell her, so she had no idea that just kidnapping Jiang Xue cost ten thousand yuan.

If she had known, she would have been distressed. She only earned over ten thousand a year, and ten thousand would take her seven or eight years to earn.

"You don’t have money?" Cheng Li was full of disbelief. Lu Ling had claimed she was the daughter of a military commander; how could the daughter of a high-ranking official not have money?

Could it be that Lu Ling didn’t trust her and purposely said this?

Or maybe everything she said before was a lie, and she was not some rich lady at all.

"Yes, I have no money!" Although Lu Ling didn’t want to admit it, she truly couldn’t come up with the money.

"Tch, if you have no money, then there’s nothing left to say." Cheng Li stared at Lu Ling for a while, realizing she really didn’t have money, her interest immediately waned, and she said, "It’s getting late, I have things to do, I’ll be leaving first."

With that, she didn’t even pay for her order and left directly. Watching Cheng Li leave so abruptly, Lu Ling was furious.

She wanted to chase after her, but a waiter had already stood in front of her and said, "Miss, please settle your bill before leaving." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Lu Ling’s face turned red, and she had no choice but to take out the money to pay. By the time she had settled and left, Cheng Li was already gone. She thought about chasing her but stopped when she remembered Cheng Li’s attitude just now.

She wanted to see how capable Cheng Li was, to be able to deal with Jiang Xue.

Meanwhile, after Cheng Li stormed out, she couldn’t help but look down on Lu Ling. The high-ranking official’s daughter couldn’t even come up with fifty thousand, yet had the nerve to say she would deal with Jiang Xue together?

She had wasted so much effort on her, causing her to miss Mu Qiancheng. By now, Mu Qiancheng was probably already home, and she would have to go to his place to find him.

It’s just that when she thought about how formidable Jiang Xue was, she got cold feet. Forget it, she’d find a place to stay the night and come back in the morning.

As she thought this, she found a small motel near Jiang Xue’s home and planned to wait at the entrance of Jiang Xue’s neighborhood first thing the next morning.
