Song Ci took out and glanced at her phone. It was Song He. She decided not to answer and continued her discussion with Song Yujin.
At night, Song Ci returned to her room. Only then did she call back Song He. She sat on the bed and said lazily, “Hello.”
Song He asked, “Why didn’t you pick up my call earlier?”
“I was busy. What’s the matter?”
“I haven’t seen you in a long time. When are you guys visiting?”
Song Ci sighed.
“I’m not coming back. I don’t want to make my sister unhappy.”
“I’ve already taught her a lesson. She won’t be rude to you again.”
Song He promised.
“Lu Gan thinks that you don’t care about me or him. Hence, he won’t let me visit.”
Song Ci fiddled with her phone case.
Song He said anxiously, “I’m your father. I care about you the most. After all, you’re my first child.”
“Really?”
“Of course.”
“Then I’ll try to convince Lu Gan.”
“You should. The two of you must come back.”
“Okay.”
Song Ci pretended to be obedient and hung up the phone. She looked at Lu Gan.
“You know what to do, right?”
Lu Gan had already cooperated with Song Ci before, so they had a tacit understanding.
“Yes. I want money, right?”
Song Ci nodded.
“Good luck. I have faith in you.”
Lu Gan took Song Ci’s phone and dialed Song He’s number. He did not beat around the bush and immediately asked for twenty million.
“Song Ci had advised me to not be calculative with her sister. However, Song Peihan’s attitude toward us is unforgivable. She got it from you, right?”
Song He cursed at Song Peihan in his heart.
“Lu Gan, I really care about the two of you.”
“Really? I don’t feel it. All I know is that parents express their love through pocket money. Song Ci is not a child anymore, so you don’t have to give her much. 20 million is fair, right? It’ll put my mind at ease.”
Song He’s hands were shaking.
Lu Gan wanted more money? Twenty million was not much?
Song He said helplessly, “Lu Gan, I don’t have any more money.”
“So you don’t care about Song Ci? You want her to live a hard life?”
Lu Gan continued, “You’re just using Song Ci as a bridge to get money from my family, aren’t you?”
“Of course not.”
Song He refused to admit it.
“Then give her 20 million. Otherwise, I won’t be convinced.”
Lu Gan said nonchalantly while playing with Song Ci’s long hair.
Song He was conflicted for a long time. The next day, he finally replied to Lu Gan.
“Alright. I’ll pay.”
He could not stop after coming this far.
Song Ci laughed in her heart. It was so easy to get money from greedy people.
‘I have to pay a visit after receiving the money. How else would I get more?’
Song Ci told the two children, “I’m going out with your father after lunch tomorrow. Both of you stay home and do your homework, okay?”
