Chapter 256: Name Your Price

Han Jingting was furious. "Mom, how could you just take such a large sum of money without asking!"

Ding Lijuan knew she couldn't hide it any longer, so she didn't plan to keep up the act.

"Besides, I see that money as the betrothal gift Jun Chen gave to marry you. According to reason, that money should rightfully belong to us."

"Look at it this way, I'm just spending my own money. What's the problem with that?"

Ding Lijuan was righteous and unapologetic, not taking these concerns seriously at all.

"What? In prison? How... how is that possible?" Ding Lijuan was incredulous.

Han Jingting's expression turned gloomy. "I'll tell you the truth. The twenty-million check you lost was stolen by Meng Junchen!"
