“Good, good!” Mrs. Chu, Zhou Huaiya, nodded repeatedly, standing up and saying, “What you said is fine.” She then turned to Yan Qing and smiled warmly. “You’re called Yan Qing, right? What a lovely name…”
Yan Xianhong’s face lit up with joy, his smile widening. “That’s great! Mr. and Mrs. Chu, we’ll leave the girl with you then. If she misbehaves, feel free to scold or punish her, we don’t mind. If anything happens, just contact me directly. Here’s my business card.”
He handed over the card with both hands, bowing slightly. His eyes nearly shone with excitement.
Soon, their company would be getting help from the Chu family. The Chu family was famous for being generous, and even when girls had been wronged by Chu Zhao, the compensation could reach tens of millions. This was why so many people eagerly sought their assistance.
Chu Heng took the card. Yan family? Even though it was a small company, he recalled its details in his mind and furrowed his brows slightly but still said, “Hmm, I know of it.”
Yan Xianhong’s smile nearly stretched to his ears. If the Chu family helped, his company was worth several hundred million, and in a few days, it would be worth over a billion! At that point, even if he sold the company, he wouldn’t lose out!
“Hey! Mr. Chu, I need to tell you something…”
“I can stay,” Yan Qing’s clear and melodious voice suddenly interrupted, successfully halting the conversation. “But I have two conditions!”
Yan Xianhong’s face shifted, his instincts telling him that this wasn’t good. The moment his niece spoke, his heart sank. He instinctively pulled her back, “Shut up!”
But he couldn’t figure out what could go wrong.
They were already in this situation, what more could happen?
Zhou Huaiya, however, wasn’t bothered. After all, the girl had been wronged, and their son’s situation was much worse than that—unlike the Gu family’s eldest grandson, who had become a vegetable after an accident and was later revived, Chu Zhao had lost his legs and couldn’t use prosthetics due to complications. He would be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
So, when Yan Qing spoke, Zhou Huaiya smiled and said, “Go ahead, tell us.”
Yan Qing looked at Zhou Huaiya, who had been quite friendly and gave a sweet smile. “My first condition is: that I want to study properly.”
Zhou Huaiya immediately nodded, her eyes filled with admiration. “Of course, no problem.”
Yan Qing’s smile deepened as she winked at Yan Xianhong, sensing his unease. “My second condition is: destroy the Yan family, and get back everything they took from me!”
Trying to sell me off for a profit? Not happening.
Yan Qing’s smile remained sweet, but her eyes were cold as she watched Yan Xianhong’s face freeze. She felt an immense sense of satisfaction.
From the moment she received the memories, she had known that Yan Xianhong was brainless. If he thought he could use his daughter to exchange for benefits, he might have gotten what he wanted, but with her?
He knew she was being abused and that he had taken all her father’s property, yet he still thought he could exchange her for something. Did he think she was some silent pet without her thoughts? How could someone be this deluded?
Yan Xianhong, meanwhile, stood there in a daze, his mind reeling. “What…?!”
He couldn’t believe this was happening.
After a brief moment of shock, Yan Xianhong processed what Yan Qing had said, and his mind went blank. In that instant, everything fell apart.
Why had he even thought about using Yan Qing to trade for his benefit?
She wasn’t an idiot; a simple betrayal would have been easy for her to pull off, so why hadn’t he considered that?
At this point, Yan Xianhong’s heart was filled with regret!
If he could go back in time, he would never have brought Yan Qing here. Now, not only had he lost ten million, but he also lost the Chu family’s support and even gave Yan Qing a powerful backer for free!
He was filled with so much pain he felt like he was being stabbed. He wanted to go back and slap some sense into his past self.
Now, all because of Yan Qing’s words, if the Chu family agreed—and they would, he was sure of it—then the Yan family would be finished. His money, the company he had just acquired, his villa, his jewelry… all of it would be gone!
“I’ll kill you!” Yan Xianhong was furious. After a brief moment of suffocation, he roared and lunged toward her. His entire body was turning red with rage, his neck veins bulging out. He was terrifying, swinging his hand to strike, completely losing his composure. He was determined to kill her. Only by getting rid of her would the Chu family not let him go bankrupt. He had to kill her!
Yan Qing had been eating well and resting well these days, and now that she had her golden finger—her spiritual spring—she was in top form and wouldn’t be caught off guard by him. She quickly ducked and dodged his strike, then turned and walked away, leaving the battlefield.
Seeing this, the Chu family, shocked by Yan Xianhong’s behavior, immediately took action. Within moments, they had subdued the pampered man who had always lived a comfortable life.
“Let go! I’ll kill that little bitch!” Yan Xianhong was no longer thinking clearly, his eyes bloodshot and full of rage as he struggled against the grip on him.
Chu Heng frowned, his voice cold. “Throw him out.”
“Yes!” The bodyguards immediately nodded, lifting him and tossing him out through the door with a firm shove.
Yan Xianhong landed hard on the ground, his body jolting with pain, and he lay there for a moment before his mind cleared slightly, staring at the luxurious door that had just closed.
What had he just done?
Even if Yan Qing didn’t speak up, the Chu family probably wouldn’t be kind to him anymore!
His face twisted in anger. He scrambled to his feet, his mind racing with thoughts. He was trying to convince himself that Yan Qing was nothing more than an ungrateful little brat who should be kicked out! There was no way she could stay with the Chu family. She didn’t deserve it.
She was just a vicious person, so young yet so scheming!
