Guide to tame my villainous husbands - Chapter 1208

Chapter 1208: Sincerity Chapter 1208: Sincerity The silence in the car continued to stretch.

At first Yu Gen wanted to say something but seeing that Mo Qiang was silently looking at the streets of the Imperial City, she too calmly sat down.  For a good fifteen minutes, only the sound of the engine humming echoed in the silent car.

It was only when they got a bit closer to the destination that Mo Qiang opened her mouth as she said to Yu Gen, “I was thinking-how much is the damage repair cost after the attack on the city?”  Her words were casual and so was her tone, which didn’t give anything away.  Yu Gen blinked her eyes and naively answered, “Ah, are you worried about that?

Don’t worry; it’s not too big of an expense; it’s just a few months’ budget.

Though a few parts will require a complete redo, it’s not a big trouble even if we have to take out two years expense.”  “Two years, hmm…” Mo Qiang curled her lips in a slight smile.

“So, what if-I hadn’t dealt with the Zerg bats as well as the dome that covered the entire city?

What kind of damage would it have left behind?”  Yu Gen stiffened.

She had a feeling that Mo Qiang was taking this conversation in a rather different direction.

She narrowed her eyes and questioned, “That-it would have been more than ten years.”  “Heh,” Mo Qiang snickered.

She crossed her legs and interlocked her fingers before resting them on her knees.

She looked straight at Yu Gen and smirked, “Then it means to say that I saved quite a lot of wealth and budget of your nation.

That too, by playing with my life, sigh…

I have to say that it was quite dangerous to do so.”  “Miss Mo, I am afraid that I do not understand what you are saying,” Yu Gen tried to play dumb.  However, this dumb ball was ignored by Mo Qiang as she sighed heavily.

“You are right.

I was just thinking that compared to the fees that we originally agreed on with the budget, that would require the entire city to be rebuilt if I hadn’t stepped in.

I just can’t help but wonder if there was something wrong with it.”  She then smiled sweetly at Yu Gen and said, “But of course, there is no need for you to worry about such things.

I was just sharing my thoughts and feelings with you.

I mean, I worked so hard and drove those bats away but your daughter-well, the one you raised-actually placed everyone’s life in danger.”  “I am not digging a wound; I just think that the situation could have been avoided if that woman was closely monitored.

Because of her-sigh-look at this; I had to stay in the hospital for so long.

I nearly couldn’t get back on my feet and it was through sheer luck that I was able to make it alive.”  “If only that woman had not done such a thing, then we would have been fine.

But she just had to do it; though some lives were lost, who can be blamed for it?”  “Certainly not me and you but when you think about it, don’t you think that for someone who worked so tirelessly without even caring about her own life-while doing everything to save the lives of those who only waited to gobble her flesh and drink her blood while swallowing her core-she deserved to be treated a bit better, right?”  “I mean a monetary compensation fit for her sacrifice and hard work should be given at least.

If someone did such a brave deed at my star, then I would have certainly rewardded them heftily.

What do you say, Countess Yu?”  Yu Gen clenched her fingers on her knees.

She, of course, understood what Mo Qiang was saying but were they not going to take a reward at the Imperial Star?  Realising what the woman was thinking about, Mo Qiang sighed once again.

“I know that it will be a bit unfair for many; I mean, some will say that I am being too greedy.

After all, I am getting a reward at the Imperial Palace,” she sighed again with a despondent look.

“But is that enough?

I will ask you, Countess Yu.

Will the compensation provided by her majesty be enough when I nearly lost my life?

If you say yes, then I will not say a word.”  “After all, compared to Countess Yu, who saw my tragic situation and valiant efforts, her majesty might not understand it.”  “I can double the fee by two times.” Yu Gen finally couldn’t hold on anymore as she admitted her defeat.  “Two times?” Mo Qiang sighed.

“It seems like you misunderstood something.

When I said those words, I definitely didn’t mean to ask for money; how dare I?

I just thought that it was too much to suffer and not show any sincerity.

But now I understand: my help and the lives of those whom I saved-they are enough for such little sincerity.”  Yu Gen: !!!!

Damn this woman, she really had her trapped.

Yu Gen felt like she was riding a tiger.

If she didn’t increase the amount, then she was worried that she would end up looking like someone who didn’t appreciate Mo Qiang’s sincere efforts but the price-it was way too exaggerated.  She would end up losing a lot of money if she were to take out any more rewards.  However, this silence was way too awkward.  “Then three times,” she tentatively threw out but Mo Qiang remained unmoved.

Yu Gen gritted her teeth seeing this before she parted her lips and finally threw out, “Four times; I can only offer four times the reward; any more than that, you might as well take my life!” “Ah, why do you have to say such a thing?” Mo Qiang clapped her hands as she smiled at Yu Gen sweetly.

“I am definitely not such a person who would measure a person’s sincerity with money.

Since you have shown me such grand sincerity, of course, I will have to accept it.”  Yu Gen: “….” No, you really didn’t have to.
