Chapter 20 Agreed Cooperation
Back at the Lu family mansion, Lu Jincheng was full of undisguised anger. The moment he walked in, Mother Lu noticed that Lu Jincheng was not in a good mood and asked quickly.

"What's the matter? Son?"

Facing his family, Lu Jincheng calmed down his anger.

"It's okay, Mom."

Although Lu Jincheng said that he was fine, Mother Lu knew that this was just a show of force on his part, and it was probably a business matter.

"Your business, you should really stop and spend more time with Zimo. She is going to have a baby in a few months. It won't be a problem if you put your work aside."

Lu Jincheng hummed indifferently, but Mother Lu could tell from Lu Jincheng's attitude that it was not work that made him irritable.

With a guess in her mind, Mother Lu asked tentatively: "Have you still been in contact with that Ji Yao recently?"

Lu Jincheng hesitated for half a second, then nodded and admitted.

But such an attitude undoubtedly confirmed Mother Lu's suspicion that Lu Jincheng was angry.

"Stop interacting with her, and let's change the nanny. I'm afraid that if she doesn't care about anything that day, our Zimo's child will get hurt."

Seeing that Mother Lu was about to ramble again, Lu Jincheng decisively interrupted her: "I will consider this matter myself, so let's leave it at that for now."

After finishing speaking, Lu Jincheng didn't want to listen to Mother Lu's opinion and strode towards his room on the second floor.

Although the door was closed, Lu Jincheng still felt that Mother Lu's words kept lingering in his ears.

After picking up his phone and compiling a message to send to Ji Yao, Lu Jincheng threw the phone aside in frustration.

Early the next morning, Ji Yao came to the Lu family mansion full of resentment.

If Lu Jincheng hadn't suddenly sent a message yesterday asking her to take care of Ji Zimo as usual today, she wouldn't have wanted to come at all.

I don’t know what Lu Jincheng is trying to do. It’s impossible for him to continue working just for this small amount of liquidated damages, right?

Ji Yao couldn't figure it out, so she had no choice but to stop thinking about it.

While taking care of Ji Zimo today, she had been protecting her belly intentionally or unintentionally. After all, she was also a mother for the first time. She only knew that she must pay attention to the safety of her baby when she was pregnant.

But it was her action that made Ji Zimo suspicious.

Ji Zimo has been pregnant, so he naturally knows how a woman will behave after pregnancy. Ji Yao's current look of carefully protecting her belly is like the behavior in the early stages of pregnancy.

The doubts in his heart deepened, and Ji Zimo asked tentatively, as if unintentionally: "You can't work or bend down for a long time when you are pregnant. Can you help me pick up the things that fell on the ground?"

After finishing speaking, Ji Zimo kept observing Ji Yao's expression.

Ji Yao's face tightened, and she subconsciously protected her belly, which did not look pregnant, and nodded.

It is definitely not an ordinary aunt who can make such a subconscious action, so there is a 70% possibility that Ji Yao is pregnant and knows about her pregnancy.

Although he didn't understand why Ji Yao knew she was pregnant but didn't tell her, Ji Zimo clearly felt that Ji Yao would be a huge threat.

Ji Zimo gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. After Ji Yao left, he specifically contacted the private detective he had contacted before.

……

Ji Yao was happy today. After all, it was rare for Ji Zimo not to cause trouble. If he could get along with her like this until she gave birth, it would be a good way to make money.

But she became worried after receiving a phone call. "Hello, Miss Ji, you asked me to help you find out about foreign methods to treat septicemia. I have found it, but conservatively it costs about 1000 million..."

Ji Yao knew what this meant. She lowered her eyes and said nothing, but she was already thinking about how much money she had left.

She still has about 150 million, which allows Lu Jincheng to advance the 200 million this month, but I don't know if he will give it. When the time comes, 350 million will be used as a deposit, and his mother must be cured no matter what.

"Okay, don't worry. How about I pay the deposit tomorrow? Is it enough to pay 350 million first?"

Although 350 million is still far from 1000 million, the doctor on the other end also understood that Ji Yao needed to raise money and agreed.

"Okay, Miss Ji."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yao sighed and said that it was not easy to call a worker. After hesitating on the call interface, she still called Lu Jincheng.

The phone only rang two or three times before it was answered, and Lu Jincheng's cold voice came from the other end.

"Say."

Ji Yao couldn't help but shudder at his cold words, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, we have more than ten days until the end of this month, why don't you give me an advance on this month's salary?"

When Lu Jincheng heard that it was about asking for money, he hung up the phone without even thinking about it.

Listening to the busy signal on the other end of the phone, Ji Yao couldn't help but pout.

Didn’t you always get gold coins before?Why are you so stingy now?

Although she thought so in her heart, Ji Yao still did not place all her hopes on Lu Jincheng. After thinking about it, she found out that the man she contacted had previously been interested in purchasing the design draft from her.

"Hello Mr. Xu, didn't you want to buy that design draft before? My uncle's design draft before, my bid was 70, but now only 60 is enough."

Ji Yao gritted her teeth and said this. She had indeed refused to sell it for 70 yuan before. Even if the other party wanted it very much, she did not let go of the price. Her psychological price had always been 47 yuan.

So they talked for a long time, but still couldn't agree on the price. Now Ji Yao is in urgent need of money, 60, and I wonder if Xu Ye will let go.

There was no reply from the other end of the phone for a long time, and Ji Yao sat slumped on the chair.

The main reason is that I am really in need of money right now. With the 150 million on hand, I can get 200 million anyway. As a deposit, it will definitely be no problem. I will ask Ji Zimo to provide the subsequent funds as soon as possible.

Just when Ji Yao was thinking about whether to find more buyers for the design drawings, Xu Ye replied to her message.

"Interested, look forward to meeting in person."

"You decide the time and place. If possible, we'd better complete the deal tonight."

Ji Yao saw the time and address sent from the other side and waved her fist with confidence.

That’s right, even if you don’t rely on men!You can definitely do it yourself!

Isn't it just to sell a few more design drawings?So what if it’s a little harder?It’s better than being angry!
That place looked like a relatively quiet private studio. Ji Yao walked around outside for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, she took a taxi to the place.

That night, the two negotiated the cooperation happily, and the final price was set at 55.

Ji Yaorong was glowing when she went out, mainly because she had the confidence to have money in her pocket.

But by coincidence, some photos were secretly taken while the two were negotiating and communicating.
