With this in mind, Lin Jiao no longer hesitated. She nodded and agreed, "Since Mrs. Chen wants to listen, I don't mind. Anyway, it's a fact that Min's Group belongs to my brother-in-law." As she said this, she began to look for Jiwon's phone number. After a while, she found it and wearing a sarcastic smile, she dialed it out.

Mrs. Chen and the other ladies stopped playing mahjong and began to listen to her. A long while passed, but no one answered the phone. Contemptuous smiles gradually appeared on the faces of Mrs. Chen and the other ladies, while Lin Jiao turned paler and paler. When they heard the voice prompt to leave a message, Lin Jiao hung up the phone and said hurriedly, "My sister may be in a meeting, which is why she had her phone muted. Let me try again."

Mrs. Chen directed a cold smile at Lin Jiao and nodded. "Sure. I'll give you ten more minutes to get through this phone call. Is that enough?"

The other ladies chuckled at this. Lin Jiao could tell the ridicule in Mrs. Chen's words. She merely snorted and began to dial again, cursing Jiwon in her heart. How dare that damned woman make her lose face?! She would surely teach her a good lesson! Did she think she was somebody after becoming rich now? She was a b*tch, just like her daughter!

She thought that even if she did get the money, Jiwon would have to pay for causing her to be laughed at by these people!

When the busy tone came from the phone again, Lin Jiao hung up.

Lin Jiwon, b*tch, if you still don't answer the phone, I'll call Mom!

Lin Jiao dialed for the third time...

On the other side of things, Lalisa was sitting beside Jiwon's sickbed and looking at the cellphone on the bedside table that had been vibrating. When she saw the caller ID, she narrowed her eyes and smiled coldly. How dare this woman keep calling? I haven't even gone to you and you dare come to mess with me?

Lalisa glanced at Jiwon lying on the bed before taking the cellphone, tucking Jiwon in and then leaving the ward. As soon as she left, the cellphone rang again. She answered the call with a raised eyebrow and said indifferently, "Hello."

Finally hearing someone pick up the phone, Lin Jiao asked harshly, "What took you so long? What were you busy at?!"

It was now afternoon and the sun had set. Standing at the end of the hospital corridor, Lalisa raised her eyebrows at being questioned and her voice became even colder. "What's up?"

If Lin Jiao were here by Lalisa's side, she would have been instantly frozen into ice by the latter's cold tone.

In a panic, Lin Jiao didn't even realize that the other party wasn't Jiwon. She frowned and said, "You know why I'm calling you! How dare you order Furao International to not give me money? Send me two hundred thousand Yuan now! I need money."

Hearing Lin Jiao talk to Jiwon like this, Mrs. Chen and the others raised their eyebrows and looked surprised. Even Lalisa raised her eyebrows and felt surprised by Lin Jiao's words. Did Lin Jiao and her parents always ask Jiwon for money like this? And she never refused them?

If this was the case, she could understand why Jiwon was so profit-oriented-she had to feed her greedy family.

Lalisa snorted and sniffed, "What does that have to do with me? It's still day out and yet you're already dreaming? Wake up!"

Lin Jiao was immediately angered by Lalisa's sarcastic words. She glanced at Mrs. Chen, who was staring sarcastically at her, and shouted, "Lin Jiwon, did you forget what you promised Mom when she agreed to you marrying your husband? Didn't you say you would help me live a well-off life? Didn't you say you would raise me for my lifetime? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Mom what you did to me today? You know, if she finds out, you'll find yourself in serious trouble."
