âIs it you?â
In his anxious state, Chen Lin saw a person walking in, and upon closer inspection, it was Yu Minglang.
This handsome and elegant young man left a deep impression on Chen Lin. Part of the reason he didnât dare to mess with Jia Xiufang before was also related to Yu Minglang.
After the divorce case between Jia Xiufang and Chen Lin ended, Yu Minglang appeared at the entrance of the court and broke a brick with his bare hands, successfully scaring Chen Lin.
Chen Lin only knew that Xiao Qian had a powerful boyfriend but didnât expect the boyfriend to be so intimidating. As soon as he saw Yu Minglang, his heart skipped a beat.
Yu Minglang walked in with a dignified aura, pulled out a chair, and sat down grandly opposite Chen Lin. With just a glance, Chen Linâs heart raced in fear.
The last time he met Yu Minglang, he hadnât unleashed his aura as openly as he did now. In this limited space, Chen Lin felt extremely uneasy.
Yu Minglang didnât speak but simply stared at Chen Lin with sharp eyes, making Chen Lin break out in cold sweat.
âWhereâs Xiufang? I want to see Xiufang! Or⦠you can call Xiao Qian over as well.â Feeling frightened by Yu Minglangâs stare, Chen Lin felt like Yu Minglangâs aura could suffocate him, so he hurriedly put forward his request while he could still speak.
Heâd rather face Jia Xiufang and Xiao Qian than the fierce Yu Minglang. Under Yu Minglangâs sharp gaze, he felt like heâd already died several times over.
âXiao Qian? Who is Xiao Qian?â Yu Minglang casually unfolded his legs, his movements slow yet incredibly oppressive. A chilling sense of cold surrounded him, especially when he heard Trash Dad mention the name of his beloved woman, the coldness became even stronger.
âSheâs my daughter⦠She isâ¦â Chen Lin couldnât finish speaking because the previously expressionless Yu Minglang suddenly laughed.
However, this laughter was chilling and made people feel even more frightened than when he wasnât smiling.
âDaughter?â Yu Minglang asked sarcastically, âIn your heart, have you ever treated her as your daughter? Even if it was just a tiny bit of fatherly love, have you ever given her that?â
Chen Lin was so frightened by Yu Minglang that he didnât dare to speak. He still vividly remembered Yu Minglangâs brick-breaking action last time, fearing that if he said something wrong, heâd be treated like a brick and be smashed.
âAlthough there are quite a few people who prefer sons over daughters, what youâve done to her is not just as simple as preferring sons over daughters. I really doubt whether you are her biological father, because finding such a trash father is not easy. Livestock can show affection for its offspring; do you have that?â
âI, I am her real father!â Chen Linâs eyes avoided Yu Minglangâs gaze, not daring to answer directly. He was afraid that if he didnât emphasize this, Yu Minglang would kill him.
âHeh, I really couldnât tell. Iâve seen many bad guys, among them some truly evil people. But even when dealing with their own family members, especially their children, they still have a touch of remorse. Unlike you, who hid your childâs Admission Notice and then tried to marry her off to a scumbag. Now youâve made such a mess, and as a father, this is the first time Iâve seen someone like you.â
Yu Minglang was blunt with Chen Lin, his attitude towards the people around Xiao Qian was very simple.
Whoever was good to his woman, he would be good to them. Whoever bullied Xiao Qian, he would deal with them, even if it was her biological father!
âI was wrong! Please give me a way out, please!â
Under the powerful deterrence of Yu Minglang, Chen Linâs last shred of mental resolve crumbled, and his knees went weak as he tried to kneel. Yu Minglang stretched out his leg just in time to block him from kneeling.
âYou say youâre pitiful, but the things youâve done are not pitiful at all. So what do you plan to do?â
âWhat to doâ¦â Chen Lin was stunned. Yu Minglang pulled out the baton from his waist and casually swung it around in the room a few times, demonstrating his skill with the weapon to Chen Lin.
Yu Minglang was so proficient with the baton that he could perform tricks with it. Hearing the sound of the baton cutting through the air, Chen Lin couldnât imagine what it would feel like if it hit him, and his teeth chattered in fear.
âWhat do you want? I, I wonât bother mother and daughter ever again! Please let me go, for Xiao Qianâs sake, I really love my daughter.â
âOh? Deep father-daughter bond?â Yu Minglang stopped playing with the baton, using it to lean against Chen Linâs shoulder. He didnât use any force, but it still made Chen Lin feel an overwhelming sense of pressure.
âYes, yes, yes! I have a deep bond with her, sheâs my daughter. I care about her so much. Please donât make things difficult for me for her sake.â
âSince you have such deep feelings, will you pay back the 30,000 yuan she owes me?â Yu Minglang asked deliberately.
ââ¦Money?! Arenât you two a couple?â Chen Lin didnât understand Yu Minglangâs tactics.
âWe were a couple before, but not anymore. She took 30,000 yuan from me to go to school, and since you claim to have a good relationship with her, you should return the debt on her behalf.â
âBut I donât have any moneyâ¦â
âMy elder brother is a businessman. You can work for him for two years for free, pay off the debt in two years, and weâll provide food and shelter but no cash. How about that?â
âThisâ¦â
Chen Lin hesitated.
He wondered why there were so many people involved, and it turned out they werenât trying to help Jia Xiufang but evil Chen Xiaoqian who had caused trouble outside. This man was here to collect a debt!
Chen Lin wanted to scam Xiao Qian, but Yu Minglang had a counter-tactic for him!
âThink clearly. Work for free for two years, and I wonât trouble you or her anymore. Otherwiseâ¦â
Chen Lin was unwilling to work for free for two years as Yu Minglang said. Although he was provided with food and shelter, it would be just like going to prison, and they wouldnât give him any money!
Besides, why should he pay such a high price for Wild Child Chen Xiaoqian?
Yu Minglang was waiting for Chen Linâs answer. This answer directly affected Chen Linâs fate and was the last chance Yu Minglang gave Chen Lin.
However, Chen Lin didnât seize this opportunity. Instead, he saw him smiling and smiling at Yu Minglang, his eyes dodging and bowing his head, speaking ambiguously.
âI have a better idea, I assure you. I can get the money back, and it wonât take as long as two years.â
âOh?â Yu Minglang narrowed his eyes.
âI have a friend whoâs a supervisor at Night Shanghai. I can send that girl over there. Sheâs beautiful, as you know. It wonât take long for her to pay off the debt!â
Yu Minglangâs gaze could kill; Chen Lin didnât see the fury on Yu Minglangâs face and continued to talk about his plan, which he thought was a good solution.
âWe can do this, we can send Chen Xiaoqian in and let her mom get the money. Her mom has money now, and if she wants to save her daughter, sheâll definitely be willing to pay. Even if she doesnât, it doesnât matter. Qianâer is so beautiful that many big bosses are willing to keep her. Itâs just a matter of ten days or half a month for 30,000 yuan, right? If karaoke doesnât work, thereâs still the bathhouse. Thenâ¦â
âBang!â
Chen Lin couldnât say any more, as Yu Minglangâs baton shattered one of his glass windows.
âYou donât deserve to be her father.â Yu Minglang was both angry and relieved.
He made the right choice by not letting Qian Bao in. Chen Linâs hideous face should not be seen by his baby. He didnât want her heart to be scarred again.
So be it; he would play the villain for her.
