Chapter 1653: Turning the Tables
That seemingly thoughtful reminder successfully served to render Ye Tian speechless for a while.
As if she needed further verification, Ye Tian replayed the audio recording again.
After hearing it once again, she realized that Li Jinnan had indeed made no mention of anything to do with the car.
Before Ye Tian could find the time to react, someone pushed the door open from outside.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Ye Tian saw Li Jinnan, she rushed up immediately. With the recorder raised high in her hand, she demanded loudly, “Li Jinnan, what’s the meaning of this?”
Li Jinnan had only just entered. Faced with such a question from Ye Tian, it didn’t require much thought for him to know that this woman must have found herself at a roadblock with Lawyer Ye.
Nevertheless, he feigned ignorance. With an expression of surprise, he asked, “What’s the meaning of what?”
Ye Tian replayed the voice recording out loud.
When Li Jinnan finished hearing it, he raised his eyebrows and said, “This is what I said. Is there any problem with it?”
Observing the expression of feigned stupidity on Li Jinnan’s face, Ye Tian was livid. She hollered in fury, “You never made any mention of the car in this voice recording!”
“Yeah, I did not.” historical
Li Jinnan’s expression was calm and collected, which made Ye Tian even angrier. She lashed out, yelling, “Didn’t we have an agreement that I wouldn’t have to pay for the car and you’d give me $140,000 as a bride price for my daughter? You did this on purpose, didn’t you?”
Li Jinnan’s expression turned to one of surprise. He asked, “When did I say anything of that sort? I have no recollection of it!” As he spoke, he turned to Ye Youyou and asked, “Did I say anything of that sort?”
Ye Youyou shook her head and replied confidently, “No, you didn’t.”
Ye Tian flew into a rage. “Ye Youyou! Who on earth is the one who’s your mother? How can you be helping the outsider?”
“Please pardon me, Madam Ye. My mother isn’t here.” Ye Youyou narrowed her eyes and asked, “What is this? Now that you’re required to pay up, the tone of your words have changed.”
Ye Tian’s face contorted in anger. She raised her hand intending to deliver a slap.
Before her hand could come down, it was stopped by another bigger hand.

“If you hit a pregnant woman, the matter of the compensation for the car will become very minor in comparison,” Lawyer Ye suddenly interjected. “Since you have the voice recording as evidence, you will be able to receive your $140,000 from Mr. Li Jinnan. However, based on my rough calculations, after deducting the repair fees for Mr. Li Beixing’s car, you’ll still have to pay $40,000.”
She thought, In other words, not only was she never going to receive a cent of that $140,000 she still had to come up with 40,000 from my own pocket?
What on earth are they trying to pull here?
Ye Tian’s expression turned truly ugly. She flung the voice recorder hard on the floor and yelled, “Li Jinnan! You bast*rd! How dare you lie to me! You had better give me that money or I... I... or I’ll fall dead right in front of your eyes!”
“Madam Ye, what you are doing now is threatening my client. You’ll have to pay compensation for emotional damages,” Lawyer Ye matter-of-factly stated.
Ye Tian replied furiously, “Shut up! No such thing happened! All of you are committing fraud!”
“Not at all, Madam Ye. This is the bill that 4S Company sent to me. The total amounts to $153,799.8. After rounding it down for you, it amounts to $140,000.”
When Ye Tian saw the bill, her legs suddenly turned to jelly. She fell a step back.
