Rushi was shocked by his carefree attitude. She clearly saw the glimmer of hope and anticipation in the eyes of his grandpa when Wang Shu suggested renovation of this mall. The store was built by Li Zifengs grandfather. It was the one on which the whole foundation of their empire was built on. Their first store. Its sorry state hurt them deeply, and this one was saying he will pocket all the money they will provide for its renovation.
While he was driving the car, Rushi on the co-pilot seat suddenly said: "Li Wei, Do you remember the 3rd clause in our contact?" Rushi said seriously.
"Yes, I have insisted on adding this term. " he nodded. The term stated that he will provide Rushi with a considerable sum of money while after the divorce she has no right on all his assets.
"So how are you going to pay me. Do you have money?" Rushi said in cold, alienated voice.
At her sudden request of money, Li Wei was shocked. Stopping the car nearby, he looked at her with a questioning gaze.
'Did I judge her wrong? Is she greedy like everyone else?'
But then he dispelled the thought, it was he who has suggested this term and should naturally abide by it.
"I don't have the money right now. I have spent everything in my account while I was in America." Seeing that her unfazed face he added with a smile: "Do you need money now? No problem, I will transfer money to you as soon as dad transfers it in my account. "
"You are going to give me the money which you have stolen?" She snorted.
Li Wei roared at her. "It is not stealing money If it belongs to me in the first place. I said.."
Interrupting his words, Rushi said in a fierce but calm voice "Li Wei, I won't accept a penny form the stolen money. This money isn't yours technically. You promised me the money, and I need it now. " she added, "I will give you one month, If I don't get my money in that period, I will disclose the contract to everyone."
Li Wei clenched his fist: "Rushi, don't you see my state? How the hell will I earn money from it in one month."
"I don't know that. And I don't even care. I just need my money, or the contract ends." she declared.
"Okay." starting the car, he opened his window to let the cold win dissipate his anger.
Li Wei was disappointed with Rushi, though it was true that he offered money. But he never thought that just within a day of their marriage she will shamelessly ask it.
