Everybody present seemed to get the gist of the issue, and they booed. Naturally, with the way Ning Ziqiang had phrased his words, their displeasure was aimed toward Ning Ran.

“Who would have thought such a pretty woman would be an ungrateful wretch!”

“I guess what they say about not judging a book by its cover is true. The prettier the woman, the viler she is. How could she not help her father when he’s already been backed up against the wall like this?”

“I knew she wasn’t someone good the moment I saw her. I’ve seen her type plenty of times before.”

The gossiping onlookers had let their imaginations run wild, painting Ning Ran as someone so wicked and heartless that there was nothing too evil for her to do.

Ning Ran knew there was no point in publicly refuting Ning Ziqiang’s accusations. The crowd would not believe a single word out of her mouth no matter what she said anyway.

Her most pressing issue right now was to get Ning Ziqiang to come down from his perch. She could not allow him to continue his act.

Deep down inside, she doubted he would actually dare jump into the river.

He was a coward, through and through. If he had had the courage to commit suicide, he would not have been in such dire straits today.

But in the end, she could not take that chance. What if he really did leap off the bridge?

“Come down here, and we can talk about it. What you’re doing now serves no purpose other than turning you into the laughingstock of the city,” her voice was as gentle as she could make it.

“Promise to settle my debts, and I’ll climb down,” he insisted.

“Fine, I promise.”

“Then transfer five million into my account right now! Once I receive the notification that I’ve received the payment, I’ll come down.”

It was obvious that had been Ning Ziqiang’s plan all along.

“Where am I supposed to get such a large sum of money out of the blue? You have to give me some time to prepare at least!” Ning Ran shouted back furiously.

“Five million is nothing to you! All you need to do is call that rich boyfriend of yours and have him transfer the money!”

By this point, Ning Ran was at her wit’s end.

“Just give him the money! Since you’re rich enough, it’s about time to repay your parents!”
