Chapter 751 — Demolition Compensation

"Here's the thing. Since we demolished your family's house earlier, the demolition compensation for your household has now been approved. We would like to ask you to come to our headquarters, Qibing Building of Qibing Real Estate Company, tomorrow morning at eight to discuss the compensation with us," Su Jiaonang said.

"What? There is still demolition compensation?" Tang's mother was taken aback. She had thought the three million Wei Zhao had demanded already included the demolition compensation, so why were they offering her more money now?

"Of course. We tore down your house, so naturally we will compensate you for the demolition!" Su Jiaonang said. "For now we have preliminarily set the figure at two million. You will need to come over tomorrow to talk it through in detail, and if you feel it is not enough, you can raise it then."

"All right, all right. Tomorrow at eight, right? I'll be there!" Tang's mother was stunned. Another two million out of nowhere?

"Good. After you arrive, take the elevator straight up from the underground parking lot to the second floor and you will see the demolition project team," Su Jiaonang said suggestively, hinting that Tang's mother should have Wei Zhao drive her there.

"Fine, I've got it! No problem, see you tomorrow!" Tang's mother hurriedly wrote it down.

After she hung up, everyone looked at Tang's mother in puzzlement.

"Xiao Wang, what is it? What demolition compensation?" Xiaofen's mother asked curiously.

"Wasn't my house demolished? That was a man named Su Jiaonang from some demolition project team at Qibing Real Estate Company. He called and told me to go to their company tomorrow to collect the demolition compensation, two million!" Tang's mother herself was frightened by the figure!

Her own shabby house was worth at most one or two hundred thousand. How could they possibly pay two million for it?

Tang's mother's first thought was that this was all thanks to Wei Zhao! Wasn't Qibing Real Estate Company run by Li Cihua and Young Master Bing? Could it be that after Li Cihua went back today, he grew afraid again, fearing Wei Zhao would cause trouble for them, and so he was rushing to curry favor with Wei Zhao?

Thinking it over, that seemed the only possibility!

"Two million!" Upon hearing the number, Xiaofen's mother was dumbfounded, and the other neighbors were the same, all left speechless with shock!

"Your house is worth two million?" It was a long moment before Liu Xinwen's mother exclaimed in astonishment.

"Hmph, they are only giving two million because they are afraid of Wei Zhao. Otherwise that broken-down house isn't worth even two hundred thousand, let alone two million?" Tang's mother spoke lightly, but in her heart she could not have been happier!

"That's what I say. Our broken-down houses, two million? Two million could buy a villa!" Xiaofen's mother shook her head. "If they give us a hundred thousand or so, that would already be good!"

"Don't say that. This sort of thing all depends on negotiation!" Tang's mother said with a smile.

Xiaofen's mother and Liu Xinwen's mother both sighed. Negotiation? Our families don't have anyone formidable like Wei Zhao. Where would we negotiate? Would they even negotiate with us?

Thinking of the gap between their families and hers, Xiaofen's mother, Liu Xinwen's mother and the others all lost interest. After chatting a little longer, they left to discuss how to deal with the developers in negotiations.

Before, they had all thought Tang Yun's family was so unlucky, shot as the bird that sticks out, having their house pushed down first! But now it looked like theirs had turned out the best!

After the neighbors left, Tang's mother lost no time in telling Tang Yun the good news.

"Yun'er, Qibing Real Estate just called me. They want to pay our family two million in demolition fees!" Having just seen a huge sum of three million, Tang's mother was not as excited now that another two million had come.

"They want to pay us two million? Really?" Tang Yun could hardly believe it. "Didn't they just pay three million? Why are they paying us another two million today?"

"I don't know. Maybe they are afraid of Wei Zhao? They want to spend money to please him, afraid he will make trouble for them again?" Tang's mother guessed. "Yesterday, that Li Cihua fellow, wasn't he quite afraid of Wei Zhao?"

"Curry favor? Is there any need?" Hearing her mother's words, Tang Yun grew doubtful. "He is afraid of Wei Zhao, sure, but Wei Zhao never asked, so there's no reason for them to send money on their own. That doesn't quite make sense, does it?"

"Doesn't make sense? How doesn't it make sense? What's wrong with them giving us money?" Tang's mother felt Tang Yun was being overly cautious.

"It's not that it's bad, but why would they give us money? Mom, I feel like there's something off about this..." Tang Yun kept feeling something was wrong. How could Li Cihua take the initiative to send money? When Wei Zhao demanded three million from him before, he was reluctant to give it, so how would he offer more now?

"You, whether there's a problem or not, won't we know tomorrow?" Tang's mother didn't care at all. "Tomorrow morning at eight, they want us to go to the second floor of Qibing Building to collect the demolition compensation. Ask Wei Zhao if he's free and have him go with us?"

"Oh..." Tang Yun had meant to ask Wei Zhao anyway, just what Li Cihua was up to. He had given three million before, and now another two million.

Wei Zhao was on his way back to school when he got Tang Yun's call. When he heard her relay that Qibing Real Estate wanted them to come to Qibing Building tomorrow to collect the demolition compensation, he was also taken aback. "Qibing Building was rebuilt so fast?"

Tang Yun had expected Wei Zhao to be surprised about the compensation, but she hadn't expected him to ask that, and she couldn't help laughing. "What, you want to tear it down again?"

"Oh, if they provoke me again I'll tear it down just the same," Wei Zhao said with a smile. "Their building already collapsed, and they still want to give your family money? Are they brain-dead?"

"That's what I think too. Do you think there could be something wrong here?" Tang Yun had been worrying about this all along.

"Hah... only a fool would turn down money, right?" Wei Zhao didn't think there would be any problem. "Since they're offering money, I'll go with you tomorrow to take it."

"But..." Tang Yun still felt something was improper.

"Even if there is a problem, what could they do? With me here, what are you afraid of?" Wei Zhao saw it clearly. Even if Li Cihua and Zhao Qibing wanted to try something, what could they do? His strength had fully recovered, and it was impossible for them to keep him there...

"Mm..." Hearing Wei Zhao say that, Tang Yun nodded and agreed. Right, with Wei Zhao around, what did she have to worry about?

Thinking of this, Tang Yun let go of the unease in her heart.
