Bab 789: Melancholy

Let the willing take the bait…

Upon hearing his answer, Li Beinian mumbled, "What? But if I didn't go, wouldn't it mean that I've accepted the money? It's five billion, not fifty pounds. How am I supposed to accept it?"

"So, you have no choice but to go?" Mu Xichen smiled and threw her a sidelong glance.

"Otherwise?" Li Beinian questioned and walked forward.

Mu Xichen looked at her back view and smiled.

Otherwise?

If she had really wanted to return the check to Nico without having to meet him, there were in fact many ways.

She could mail this check back after Nico returned to England, for instance.

Another way, and a more direct one, would be to not cash the check. Once the check expired, it would become invalid.

However, it was obvious that Li Beinian had not thought of these ways.

If she were to mail it back, Nico would definitely feel bad.

Ultimately, she still cared about Nico.
