Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 786 - 781: Kicking Someone When They’re Down? (Fourth Update)

The words of Mrs. Liu, on the surface, seem to be considering Fang Pingying, but it’s easy to hear that she actually looks down on Fang Pingying. She thinks that someone coming from the countryside, reaching this point is already very rare. Now, having dividends from the supermarket is already a big sum of money for her, and she should be grateful for this proposal.

What she doesn’t know is that Fang Pingying is just being low-key. If we really talk about her assets, she might not be the richest in the provincial city, but definitely not to be underestimated.

Ultimately, regardless of how wealthy someone is, it’s impossible for them to own so much real estate in what will be the busiest part of the provincial city in the future.

Of course, Fang Pingying also heard the implication in Mrs. Liu’s words. She smirked sarcastically and replied, "Aunt, honestly speaking, I, Fang Pingying, come from the countryside. You can say I am minor or distrustful of others. I’m not accustomed to letting my money be casually handled by others. More importantly, I won’t cooperate with someone I don’t trust anymore. That would make me extremely insecure."

Mrs. Liu didn’t understand why Fang Pingying would say such things and didn’t clearly understand whether Fang Pingying was helping or not, so she was stunned and didn’t speak.

Fang Pingying thought for a moment and stated her terms, "I can invest, but my condition is that Liu Fengsheng’s supermarket should be handed over to me entirely. I will give him a sum of money, which should be enough to cover this supermarket’s current losses. But after that, this supermarket will have no relations whatsoever with your Liu family or Liu Fengsheng, and it will belong solely to me, Fang Pingying."

Mrs. Liu understood now, but she really hadn’t expected Fang Pingying to dare to be so bold with money. In her view, Fang Pingying had just earned some small money and then made some friends who could help her.

She almost couldn’t believe it and questioned, "Are you saying to buy the whole supermarket directly?"

Fang Pingying nodded at her, "Yes, that’s exactly what I mean."

Now, even if Mrs. Liu doesn’t believe it, she has to. Instinctively, she knew that Fang Pingying’s proposal was definitely not the best. Her family mentioned wanting Fang Pingying to invest, meaning just having Fang Pingying put money in, being part of it, but the supermarket would still belong to her son. And after this matter is settled, their Liu family would still have such a big supermarket; once it’s back on track, making money, they could kick Fang Pingying out whenever they wanted.

But because Fang Pingying proposed conditions, Mrs. Liu couldn’t help but ask more, "Then how much funds have you prepared."

Since Fang Pingying discussed with Uncle Zeng, they already had a base price for acquiring this supermarket. Given Mrs. Liu came to them personally today, it showed they are in a hurry, so Fang Pingying and her team took more initiative, thus lowering the price by a few percentage points.

This isn’t to say Fang Pingying is hitting someone when they’re down, but the attitude of the Liu family made her uncomfortable, plus she isn’t a fool. She certainly understands that the Liu family’s so-called investment is very much like lending money; after overcoming this bump, they wouldn’t know how they might treat her.

Fang Pingying has lived two lives, has been in business for this long, how could she not see this coming? She certainly wouldn’t let herself be toyed with like a fool by the Liu family.

But, very obviously, those few percentage points, Mrs. Liu couldn’t accept, and after hearing what Fang Pingying said, she got angry and started speaking harshly, "Fang Pingying, people should have a conscience, think how you used to plead with us, now when we ask for a little help, you hit us when we’re down, what do you want, have you gone crazy from lacking money."

Seeing Mrs. Liu’s attitude, Fang Pingying knew she had done the right thing. She smiled ironically and replied blandly, "Whether I lack money or not is one thing; since you asked me for help, I have this one idea. In business, if you don’t agree, then please turn around, the door is over there."

Pausing slightly, Fang Pingying raised her eyebrows at Mrs. Liu, "Also, let me be honest with you, even if I, Fang Pingying, truly want to open another supermarket, I have the funds and networks, I didn’t clamor to buy your supermarket, it’s because as you said, I just want to repay the favor your family gave me back then."

Speaking of which, recalling when the Liu family helped her, Fang Pingying revealed some things she knew, "And actually, at the time when Chairman Liu loaned me money at the bank, the interest I paid was not less than any other, just the gifts I gave Chairman Liu were worth a pretty penny, if not for those benefits, Chairman Liu might not have helped."

"However, I don’t want to calculate these things, after all, your family did help me back then. I can help now, but I can’t completely disregard my interests, otherwise, what’s the difference from throwing money away? As you said, I am from the countryside, without that kind of capability."

"You..." Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth, this Fang Pingying is truly impressive, not only is she good at doing things, her tongue is also fiercely sharp, she doesn’t know how to respond.

Seeing her like this, Fang Pingying said, "I’ve laid out the conditions, whether you agree, I think Mrs. Liu can’t decide alone, go back and discuss with your husband and son, if you agree, then bring the required items to my supermarket to negotiate, if not, then this is the end of it." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Mrs. Liu, seeing how determined Fang Pingying was, was practically seething. If not for the fact that only Fang Pingying could help with this matter, she would have already walked away with a strained face, and might even have slapped Fang Pingying.

But she knew, in this situation, she couldn’t do that; otherwise, it would only hurt her family.

Suddenly, she raised her head and saw Taotao, who had been sitting on the sofa silently; she quickly gave Taotao a look and tilted her head in Fang Pingying’s direction, hinting for Taotao to go over.

Having already said the harsh words so full, she was embarrassed to lower her head again, and her character wouldn’t allow her to, so she had to resort to Taotao.

Taotao also knew her purpose for being here, even if she was unwilling, but for her son, she could only comply.

She stood up, with a pleading look, walked up to Fang Pingying, lowered her head and begged, "Miss Fang, I beg you, please help our Liu family, we’ve reached this point, we truly have no other option, otherwise, we wouldn’t trouble Miss Fang."

"Aunt, are you very close with the Liu family?" Fang Pingying’s implication was actually to wonder whether it’s reasonable for an aunt to go this far for the Liu family.

Besides, she’s really meeting this aunt for the first time.

Hearing Fang Pingying ask like this, the aunt felt a warmth flutter within her heart. She understood that Fang Pingying was actually sticking up for her; all these years, because her son was disappointing, nobody had ever aligned with her feelings, not even her own elder brother and sister-in-law, yet now a stranger was helping her so.
