Addicted to Love, Mr. Fu’s Newly Married Wife

"Unless...Xiaoxiao Xu compensates me for my losses, I can consider not giving you a bad review anymore."

Xu Xiaoxiao sneered even more in her heart, but her expression remained calm, as if she had anticipated this sudden "request". However, there was a hint of sneer at the corner of her mouth, and an imperceptible cold light flashed in the depths of her eyes.

She thought to herself, "Humph, as expected, the fox's tail is finally exposed."

She slowly stood up and looked directly at the woman in front of her named Zhuang Rouruo, who was waiting for her response as if it was a matter of course.

Although Zhuang Rouruo's face was beautiful, she could not hide her meanness. There was a smile of confidence on the corner of her mouth, as if she had already controlled Xu Xiaoxiao completely.

"Tell me, how much do you want?"

Xu Xiaoxiao's voice was calm and clear, and every word seemed to be carefully polished, neither too strong nor weak, just right to reveal her inner calmness and composure.

"One hundred thousand."

Zhuang Rouruo blurted it out almost without any hesitation, as if the number was just a trivial number game to her. Her eyes were flashing with greed and determination, as if she had already foreseen the scene where the huge sum of money was about to fall into her pocket.

Xu Xiaoxiao just smiled lightly, but that smile hid too many complicated emotions - contempt, helplessness, and an indescribable determination.

She turned slightly, her eyes swept across the sky outside the window that was dyed golden by the setting sun, and thought to herself: "One hundred thousand?"

Her eyes refocused on Zhuang Rouruo, and there was an extra sense of determination and coldness in them, and her eyes were particularly similar to Fu Yanchen's.

"Yes, one hundred thousand."

Zhuang Rouruo smiled slightly, with a hint of complacency and provocation in her smile, as if she had everything under control.

The friends around her also widened their eyes at this moment, their gazes moving back and forth between Zhuang Rouruo and Xu Xiaoxiao, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

They might have never seen such a direct "asking price", and had never expected Zhuang Rouruo to offer such an astonishing amount.

Even if Zhuang Rouruo had never been to college, the nine years of compulsory education should have allowed her to learn a little bit of legal knowledge!

One hundred thousand, this number is like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Everyone present thought to themselves that this was not compensation at all, it was clearly outright extortion.

Even in this materialistic age, such demands seem too greedy and unreasonable.

Nan Weiwei finally couldn't suppress her inner anger and dissatisfaction at this moment.

She stood up, her voice clear and firm: "Zhuang Rouruo, you are blackmailing me!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole atmosphere instantly became tense and solemn.

Zhuang Rouruo's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She sneered and seemed not to care about Nan Weiwei's accusations.

"I'm not blackmailing you. I'm just telling you the truth. I'll give you bad reviews every day so that you can't keep your store open."

Her friends began to whisper, thinking that Zhuang Rouruo had ulterior motives and that perhaps she was not telling the truth.

Xu Xiaoxiao stood aside, watching all this quietly, feeling mixed emotions.

"Zhuang Rouruo, do you think that money can solve everything? Even though I, Xu Xiaoxiao, come from a wealthy family, I will not compromise. I can't do what you ask."

"If you don't agree, then fine. I will complain about you every day to see whether your loss is greater or mine. I remember that if the store receives too many complaints, the rating will be low, and maybe your cold drink store will be forced to close in the future. One hundred thousand, you give me one hundred thousand, and I promise not to harass you again."

There was a hint of threat and provocation in Zhuang Rouruo's words. She seemed to be sure that Xu Xiaoxiao would compromise because she was afraid of losses.

Nan Weiwei's face turned pale instantly when she heard that. She clenched her fists, her knuckles turned white from the force, and her eyes flashed with anger.

She could no longer tolerate this unreasonable bullying and threats, and roared: "Damn it, I can't stand it!"

Before she finished her words, she rushed towards Zhuang Rouruo like an arrow, as if she wanted to vent all her dissatisfaction and anger on this punch.

However, just when Nan Weiwei was about to touch Zhuang Rouruo, a slender hand gently pressed her shoulder and pulled her back steadily.

Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes showed both gratitude and restraint. She whispered to Nan Weiwei, "Weiwei, don't be impulsive. We can't let her plot succeed, and we can't use her way to solve the problem."

When Nan Weiwei heard this, her body stiffened slightly, and then she turned to look at Xu Xiaoxiao.

She saw the determination and wisdom in Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes, and felt her inner strength and courage.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. But what should we do? We can't just let her bully us like this!"

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes: "Don't worry, I have my own way. She thinks she can make me surrender like this? Humph, she is too naive."

Then, she turned to Zhuang Rouruo and said, "Zhuang Rouruo, do you think your threats can scare me? I tell you, I, Xu Xiaoxiao, have never been intimidated. If you really want to solve the problem, then use the right way. Otherwise, I will let you know what it means to shoot yourself in the foot."

Zhuang Rouruo looked at Xu Xiaoxiao's firm and confident eyes, and couldn't help feeling a little flustered. Did she really underestimate this woman?

But thinking that so much money would soon be hers, she did not back down. Instead, she sneered and said, "Okay, then we'll wait and see who suffers the greater loss in the end! I'm barefoot and I'm not afraid of you who wear shoes."

Xu Xiaoxiao sneered and slowly glanced at the people around her, Zhuang Rouruo's friends. There was helplessness and a hint of imperceptible pity in her eyes.

This person is not a bad person by nature, but Zhuang Rouruo took advantage of his sympathy.

She said softly, "Are you sure you want to continue to be used as a tool by her? Will she give you a little bit of the money she gets? Don't end up in trouble like her. My store was approved before it opened. Just for this reason, I can let you go to court."

"This......." Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to do. They didn't expect Xu Xiaoxiao to come to their house in person.

Xu Xiaoxiao knew that they had begun to waver, and continued, "As for the reason why I fired her, it was not because I treated my employees harshly. Do you want to know the specific reason? It was because she..."

"Xu Xiaoxiao, stop sowing discord. They won't be fooled."

There was some panic and anger in Zhuang Rouruo's words. She obviously did not expect Xu Xiaoxiao to expose her so directly. She couldn't let them know what she had done before, otherwise how could she use them in the future.

"Why? She's scared and feels guilty because she took the money from my store and I let her go out of my way, but she turned the tables on me."

"Xu Xiaoxiao, don't talk nonsense. They won't believe you. We are good friends. They will only believe me."

However, just as Zhuang Rouruo finished speaking, a girl spoke timidly: "Well...we didn't know about these circumstances and thought what she said was true, so we complained about you. If your store is really not like this, we, we apologize and cancel the negative review immediately. This matter has nothing to do with us, we..."

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao raised a faint smile.

She looked at the girl and said softly, "Okay, you can go now, but I have to remind you that if you want to continue to be friends with her in the future, be careful and manage your finances to avoid being stolen."

Zhuang Rouruo's face turned pale when she heard this. She glared at Xu Xiaoxiao and gritted her teeth and said, "Xu Xiaoxiao, don't talk nonsense."

Xu Xiaoxiao just glanced at her indifferently and said nothing more.

She knew that some words, once spoken, could never be taken back.

But for some people, once their true colors are seen, there is no turning back.

She looked at the departing figures, smiled, and continued, "Zhuang Rouruo, are you sure you want this 100,000? Do you regret it?"

Xu Xiaoxiao's voice was calm and firm, and her eyes revealed an indescribable depth, as if she had seen through everything.

"Yes, you must give it to me, otherwise I will complain to death about you."

Zhuang Rouruo answered with gritted teeth, her face full of determination and greed, and she seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment and panic just now.

"Haha, very good."

Xu Xiaoxiao chuckled, then turned to look at Nan Weiwei, "Weiwei, you've almost finished recording, right?"

Nan smiled slightly. The anger and impulsiveness in her eyes were gone. Instead, there was a calmness and wisdom. She replied, "Not a single word was lost."

Zhuang Rouruo's face turned pale instantly when she heard this.

She widened her eyes and looked at Xu Xiaoxiao and Nan Weiwei in disbelief, as if she suddenly realized something.

"What do you mean? What do you mean it's almost finished? Your phone clearly...I clearly saw that your phone was not recording."

There was a hint of panic and confusion in Zhuang Rouruo's words. She obviously did not expect Xu Xiaoxiao and Nan Weiwei to behave like this.

Xu Xiaoxiao gently raised her phone and said, I didn’t record it on my phone.

The recording software is in the Weiwei package.

Xu Xiaoxiao took out the recording software, which was displaying a video that had just been recorded.

She smiled and said, "Zhuang Rouruo, this recording is evidence. If you dare to make trouble again, I will hand it over to the police and let them judge."

Zhuang Rouruo looked at the recording software in Xu Xiaoxiao's hand and her face turned pale and blue.

She finally realized that her blackmail attempt not only failed, but also left evidence.

She clenched her teeth, glared at Xu Xiaoxiao fiercely, and prepared to close the door.

"and many more……"

Xu Xiaoxiao reached out her hand in time and firmly controlled the door that was about to close.

"Xu Xiaoxiao, what do you want? If you win, you'll be considered ruthless."

There was a hint of panic in Zhuang Rouruo's voice. She obviously did not expect Xu Xiaoxiao to be so scheming.

"What? You've seen through it and are you scared? You don't seem to have any intention of repenting at all? It seems like I should send you to prison."

A faint smile appeared on Xu Xiaoxiao's lips, and her tone was full of confidence and calmness.

She did not let Zhuang Rouruo leave easily, but decided to teach her a profound lesson.

"You, what else do you want?" Zhuang Rouruo's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes flashed with anxiety and fear.

She couldn't imagine that her blackmail attempt would fail this time.

"Zhuang Rouruo, you have to pay the price for doing something wrong."

Xu Xiaoxiao's voice was calm and firm, and her eyes revealed unquestionable seriousness.

She looked at Zhuang Rouruo, as if examining every corner of her heart.

Zhuang Rouruo's body trembled slightly when she heard this. She raised her head with tears in her eyes. Even though she was unwilling, she had to endure it.

She choked and said, "You...I, I was wrong, Xu Xiaoxiao, I won't be so confused again, I don't want to go to jail, I still have parents to support, I have no choice but to do this, wuwuwuwu..."

Her voice was full of helplessness and regret, as if at this moment she finally realized her mistakes and the serious consequences she faced.

Nan Weiwei, "......" Another white lotus?

Seeing that the two people were unmoved, Zhuang Rouruo knew that if she didn't do something ruthless, Xu Xiaoxiao would not forgive her for her scheming.

She suddenly knelt in front of Xu Xiaoxiao, her tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the cold ground.

Her actions were full of despair and pleading, as if she was begging for mercy from Xu Xiaoxiao, hoping that she could forgive her mistake this time.

"Xu Xiaoxiao, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me this time, my parents are seriously ill, I had no choice but to... steal your money, I can't go to jail..."

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Zhuang Rouruo, a complex emotion welling up in her heart.

She felt angry because Zhuang Rouruo's blackmail had brought her unnecessary trouble; but she also felt sympathy, thinking that if Zhuang Rouruo really had no choice but to take this path, it was understandable.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then slowly said:

"I'm warning you," Xu Xiaoxiao's voice suddenly became stern, "If you dare to blackmail me or others like this in the future and I find out, I will send you directly to jail. I'll let you go this time, but I can't say for sure what will happen next time. You'd better take care of yourself!"

Her words revealed unquestionable determination and strength, warning Zhuang Rouruo that if she continued to act recklessly, she was ready to fight Zhuang Rouruo to the end.

Zhuang Rouruo's face turned pale as paper when she heard this. She stared at Xu Xiaoxiao with wide eyes, as if she was intimidated by her aura.

She had no idea that not only had her attempt at blackmail not been successful, but it had also gotten her into big trouble.

She clenched her teeth, glared at Xu Xiaoxiao fiercely in her heart, and pretended to kowtow to express her gratitude.

"Weiwei, let's go!" Xu Xiaoxiao said.

"Just let her go like that?" Nan Weiwei pointed at Zhuang Rouruo.

"Let's be merciful when we can!" Xu Xiaoxiao sighed. Once she went to prison, the rest of her life would be ruined.

Although Nan Weiwei was not satisfied, she understood Xu Xiaoxiao. She scolded Zhuang Rouruo and left with Xu Xiaoxiao.
