Every time Fu Ting thought of her father's miserable life, how could she ever allow the Fu family to get away with it?
Her father was too prideful to refuse but she could not care less. The things they owed her father, even if it was just a strand of hair, had to be returned!
Fang Yuzhi's expression almost crumbled. "A hundred and fifty thousand yuan? Why don't you just rob someone?"
The year was two thousand and eight, and the economy was not inflated yet. In an ordinary person's view, a hundred and fifty thousand yuan was a sky-high price.
Although the Fu family was wealthier than any ordinary home, they could not just come up with a hundred and fifty thousand yuan.
Fu Lei almost collapsed as he spoke in anger, "This is blackmail for sure... Don't you dare!"
Lawyer Wang put on a straight face with his head slightly raised. "Mr. and Mrs. Fu," he started, "I've investigated your family's property income. Based on a few ranges of analysis, the hundred and fifty thousand yuan of alimony requested by Miss Fu Ting would be very reasonable. If you refuse to compromise, you could wait until being served by the court papers."
Fu Ting caught Fu Pei's lifeline. He was a brilliant businessman, and if they were engaged in a lawsuit and things went worse, he would not be able to control it. Everyone would know that he mistreated his eldest son, so he could not fight against the request.
As expected, Fu Lei's face instantly turned to a color palette. Due to his suppressed anger that he could not release, his chest heaved rapidly and only relaxed after some time. "I'm thoroughly floored. Yuzhi, go in and pass them a hundred and fifty thousand yuan in cash!"
Fang Yuzhi went in unwillingly, and when she returned, she took out a document bag that had a hundred and fifty thousand yuan.
Fu Ting counted and, once she confirmed it was indeed a hundred and fifty thousand yuan, gave Lawyer Wang a look. Lawyer Wang spoke firmly, "Other than that, Mrs. Fu's mother had a hundred and twenty square meter apartment, and the name on the property's certificate belongs to Mister Fu Pei. Since Mister Fu Pei had turned eighteen, the house should be returned to him."
Fu Pei had a genuine relationship with his grandmother, and the greatest regret in his future was due to his so-called dignity as he did not manage to keep the apartment left by his grandmother.
The reincarnated Fu Ting wished to fulfill his regret. She would not allow her father to live in the basement anymore.
An anxious Fu Huihui then argued, "No way, that apartment is my dowry. You can't give it to Fu Pei."
Fu Ting mocked coldly, "Your dowry? Is your name on the certificate of property? You're acting so unreasonably while possessing the property of others. Today is the day that I'd like to grieve for the failure of your philosophy lecturer."
Fu Huihui was speechless.
Why did she feel so offended?
Fang Yuzhi pursed her lips. "That apartment had always been under my custody. Ah Pei is still a child, so how could I be assured to pass him the property?"
The truth was the apartment was built at a good location. According to the market trend, it could be sold at a hundred thousand after a few years. How could she hand it over to the monster that was Fu Pei?
Fu Ting warned the lawyer again as she waved the fake phone and impishly grinned. "If that's so, we should meet at court!"
Momentarily stunned, Fang Yuzhi then barked, "How dare you change the way of threatening us?"
Obviously, it was useless. Since Fu Ting insisted on the apartment, Fang Yuzhi could only think of the bigger picture. It was impossible to refuse, but whenever she thought of the huge loss this monster could inflict, she almost wept when she passed the property certificate to Fu Pei.
After living for half of her life, she was successfully blackmailed by a little girl. She wallowed in hatred and anger.
Fu Ting raised one of her fingers and stated her last wish adorably, "Lastly, I'd like to request for an identification card under my father's identity registration, and send me to the same high school and senior year with my father."
She was now an immigrant. She could not walk around independently without an identification card and would easily get into trouble.
Fu Pei alone would be incapable of providing her the registration as a citizen, so she could only rely on the Fu family.
Fu Lei was extremely reluctant but whenever he thought of the recording in Fu Ting's hands, he still arranged it obediently.
Lawyer Wang set up a contract, and Fu Ting laughed inwardly after both parties signed them. Luckily, she had a great memory that Lawyer Wang was a star lawyer in the future, so she sought his help.
"Since you already got the things you wished for, could you give us the sound recording?" Fang Yuzhi sneered as she knew she could still finish off these two little animals after she received the recording, even though there was a contract.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Fu Ting's lips curved as her alluring eyes narrowed into crescents while her smooth and slender fingers held the fake phone. "This is my only card left," she gleefully replied, "and if I surrendered it, I won't have any backup plan. If you're obedient and cause no trouble, this recording would never be exposed."
In the past life, the Fu family always threatened her father using his grandmother. She wanted to gain back their power in this current time.
The words from the innocent and soft girl made Fang Yuzhi and her family hated her face even more.
Lawyer Wang then turned to Fu Lei and said, "This case is settled. Mister Fu Lei, please pay for my services."
Fu Lei, who had not regained his senses, was doubtful.
Fu Ting explained, "Actually, my father is still a child. The defense lawyer was hired under the name of my father's parents."
Fang Yuzhi and Fu Lei were astonished.
Their losses were too large of an amount, and now they had to pay for the rascals' defense lawyer?
Were they not outrageous? Shameless?
Fu Ting basked in their victory.
