Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 62

Shirley reached for Winner's cell phone, but he refused.

"Sister, do you want the pictures?"

"Yeah, of course! If you don't want a lawsuit, just give me the pictures."

"I can give you the pictures, but you have to give me something as compensation. You know I went out without permission and I took the pictures at risk of being discovered by our father." Winner raised his eyebrows and smiled cunningly.

Shirley didn't expect Winner to ask her for compensation. Both, Shirley and Winner were facing prosecution. Why would he want to negotiate over the pictures that would save them from imprisonment? She got a little angry and said, "You will also benefit from it if we successfully alienate Jean and Zed with these pictures. How can you ask for compensation from me at this critical moment? Winner, do you still have a soul? I am your sister."

After hearing Shirley, Winner raised his eyebrows, put his legs on the coffee table, and said nonchalantly, "You're my biological sister. Don't you know that sisters and brothers are alike? You are no better than me. I just have the pictures you need and you have something that I want. If we make a deal, we could both benefit."

"You are such a bad person!" Shirley gnashed her teeth. However, she had no choice but to take Winner's offer. After all, her disappointing brother had what she wanted.

It was quiet for a while in the living room. Winner was playing with his cell phone. He wasn't worried, for he knew his sister would agree to a compromise.

Several minutes later, it turned out that he was right.

"Okay, deal. But I only have fifty thousand dollars on me."

"Fifty thousand dollars?" Upon hearing Shirley's words, Winner felt deflated. Then he asked, "Why do you have such a small sum of money? Are you lying to me?"

"You know I don't have a job. I slowly saved the fifty thousand from my pocket money. It is not easy for me, okay? Winner, you should not be so greedy." Shirley was too angry to say another word. She thought, 'I am so unlucky to have such an ungrateful brother.'

Although Winner was not happy to give Shirley the pictures for just fifty thousand, he had no choice. He thought, 'If I don't agree with her, I will get nothing. After all, there is no use keeping the pictures with me.

If I give them to Shirley and she shows them to Zed, maybe he will give up his intention of suing us for the Weibo incident.' Happy with this thought, Winner nodded, "Okay, you've got a deal."

After getting the pictures, Shirley felt happy and relaxed. Staring at the pictures on her cell phone, Shirley gave a self-satisfied smirk, "Jean, your happy days will be over soon."

Everyone knew that the Qi Group was having a big public relations nightmare. It took Zed several days to solve the conflict with the Li Group. And he had put in a lot of work to make the Li Group stop their attack on his company.

At last, they settled everything with the Li Group. But the two groups still lost the opportunity for a cooperation.

Zed sat in his office and looked at Jean's phone number on his cell phone. When he was about to dial, he heard a knock at the door.

"Come in!" Zed put his phone down.

"Mr. Qi, Miss Wen wants to speak with you."

"Miss Wen?" Zed was dazed for a moment. Of course, he knew it wasn't Jean Wen. Henry had two daughters. One was Jean Wen, and the other was Shirley Wen. His secretary knew Jean, so Zed was sure that it must be Shirley.

Zed turned off his computer and said with an expressionless face, "Ask her to leave."

"Ask her to leave?" The secretary dazed for a while, then said, "She said she is the younger sister of Mrs. Qi."

"Didn't you hear me?" Zed raised his head with a sharp look.

"Okay, I will do so right away." The secretary immediately bowed her head and closed the door.

Zed couldn't focus on work anymore. So he packed his belongings, left his office, and took the elevator to the parking lot. When he was about to call Jean, he saw Shirley standing outside the elevator, looking at him with a smile on her face.

Zed frowned and thought, 'What a smart girl. Just because I didn't see her at the office, she decides to wait for me here.' However, Zed had no good impression of Shirley, because he knew how badly she had treated Jean before.

"Brother-in-law." Shirley drawled with a smile on her face.

Shirley was wearing a yellow skinny dress and her makeup was really fabulous today. Although she was not very beautiful, yet she looked pretty because she had made an effort to dress up.

But her perfume repelled Zed. He put the cell phone back in his pocket, glanced at her, and said expressionlessly, "Since Jean has severed all her relations with the Wen family, it is inappropriate for you to address me as your brother-in-law now."

Although Shirley was somewhat disappointed with Zed's coldness, she still adored him. Zed was such a rich, handsome, and unapproachable man that every woman would be attracted to him.

Shirley thought, 'Jean is such a bitch. What did she do to make Zed treat her so well?'

"Regardless, she is my elder sister, even though she has been disowned my father. I grew up with Jean. Although we do not get along well, I still regard her as my sister." In order to make a good impression, Shirley pretended to be sweet and sensible.

However, unfortunately for her, Zed had already seen through Shirley's act, so he was totally indifferent to her attitude. Zed turned and began walking to his car as he asked, "What can I do for you? If you're here for your legal troubles, please talk to my lawyer."

"I'm here for something else."

"Well, then explain and be done with it!"

"I have something that I am sure you will be interested in. Please take a look at it. I promise it's worth your time, " Shirley assured Zed. Since she had always liked Zed for his looks and money, Shirley couldn't help staring at him excitedly.

A short while later, Zed and Shirley were sitting across from each other in a fancy Western restaurant.

Shirley had intended to sit beside Zed, but he didn't agree. As a result, she had to sit opposite Zed.

"Now, tell me. What did you want to say to me? Be quick! Don't waste my time."

Shirley really didn't like Zed's attitude towards her but she couldn't do anything. So she comforted herself, 'Just take it easy. As long as I try my best, one day I will enamor him.'

Shirley asked the waiter for a glass of lemonade and looked at Zed with blazing eyes. She smiled and said, "Let's get something to eat first. You must be hungry after working all day." After that, she opened the menu.

"No, I am not hungry. But I can treat you if you want to eat something."

Upon hearing what Zed had said, Shirley stopped reading the menu. She felt a little embarrassed and her face became stiff. After calming down, Shirley closed the menu and smiled at the waiter, "Please give me a glass of lemonade, thank you."

"Okay." Then, the waiter left in a hurry with the menu.

"I don't understand why you hate me so much. Is it because of what happened in front of your house several days ago? I..."

"Miss Wen, if you don't have anything else to say to me, then I have no time to waste here." Zed said before letting Shirley finish. Then he stood up, ready to leave.

"Wait, wait!" Shirley panicked. She gritted her teeth and took out her cell phone. She pretended to be really uncomfortable and sorry for what she was about to do next.

"The Weibo incident was my fault. I was trying to apologize. But this time, I didn't do anything wrong to her. It was not me but one of my friends who took this picture by accident. I wasn't going to show it to you, but I am afraid that Jean keeps you in the dark, so..."

"What kind of picture do you want to show me?"
