Chapter 622 Dawn (28)
Chu Huian was taken aback, and her expression quickly turned cold.
She realized that Yan Zhen had no intention of going back with her. The family, assets, and heirs that she had listed were tempting conditions in her eyes, but were not worth mentioning in Yan Zhen's eyes.
She would rather live with this poor boy than go back with him.
Realizing this, Chu Huian remained silent for a long time before letting out a cold laugh. She turned her gaze to Jing Chen, her attitude becoming condescending again: "Let's not talk about the three hundred million for now. Let's talk about—Jing Chen, right? How did you bring her here from Xiangjia Village six years ago? Did you get Xu Yingxia's consent? You took her from the north to the south without permission and raised her at home as a younger sister. Doesn't that constitute child abduction?"
"And she's been raised in your house all these years, are you really sure you haven't done anything to her? If this gets out, with your current fame and reputation, aren't you sure you won't get into trouble?"
Before Jing Chen could speak, Yan Zhen frowned: "Are you threatening us?"
"Since you're not going to talk to me properly, I have no choice but to resort to this method." Chu Huian didn't hide her intentions. She picked up a cup of tea and smiled coldly, "Three hundred million? You're not worth that price."
"It's not that I'm not worth the price, it's that you simply can't afford that much money." Yan Zhen saw through her thoughts. "You can't afford it, yet you're willing to risk a breakdown in your relationship with your mother to resort to force. It seems you really want me to go home with you. Is something wrong at home that you need my help with?"
Chu Huian: "..."
She put the tea she had brought to her lips back on the table. Seeing that Yan Zhen was not angry after being threatened, but instead had a mocking look in his eyes, she found a reason to comfort herself from her anger, anxiety and helplessness—at least this child is smart.
Yan Yi likes intelligent people.
If we can make him see the child's strengths, we might be able to win him back and make him give up the idea of raising an heir outside.
Thinking of this, Chu Huian changed her aggressive attitude, softened her expression, and even showed a hint of weakness when she spoke again: "I really can't come up with that much money, but as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, let alone 300 million, even 3 billion will be yours in the future."
Yan Zhen showed an expression of eagerness to hear the details.
“I told you, your father is someone who values bloodline inheritance very much. After finding out that the daughter we raised for more than ten years was not his biological daughter, his attitude towards this family became increasingly cold. Now he is keeping a mistress outside and wants to create an heir who is related to him by blood. He even mentioned divorce to me a while ago.”
Chu Huian sighed as she said this, "I've been with him all the way to where I am now, and I'm not willing to give up my position as Mrs. Yan. I want to save this marriage. As long as you're willing to cooperate with me and go home to get the position of heir, the Yan family's billions of assets will be yours in the future. At that time, what is a mere 300 million?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhen showed a thoughtful expression.
When Jing Chen saw her expression, he knew she was interested, so he quickly tugged at her arm and said, "Zhenzhen."
Yan Zhen turned her head to look at him and saw that Jing Chen was anxious. She thought for a moment and said to Chu Huian, "Can you go out for a while? I need to discuss this with my brother."
Chu Huian: "..."
She got up and walked out of the tea pavilion.
Only Yan Zhen and Jing Chen remained in the tea pavilion. Jing Chen quickly said, "Don't agree to her request. You can't go back."
"Brother, listen to me," Yan Zhen said after considering his words for a moment. "Maybe it's not a bad thing for me to go back."
"no……"
"Let me finish speaking first." Yan Zhen pressed down on the arm that was pulling him. "First of all, we need to understand a prerequisite: if Chu Huian wants to force me to go back, with our current level, we are no match for her at all."
Chu Huian could send someone to sneak into their home and take Yan Zhen's hair without them noticing, so she could also take Yan Zhen away while Jing Chen was away.
Jingchen has to work, earn money, and go to school; he can't keep Yanzhen tied to his belt and take her with him 24/7.
Jing Chen also realized this, and his expression darkened.
"At worst, I'll kill her!" A fierce glint appeared in Jing Chen's eyes. "I won't give her another chance to hurt you!"
“She can’t hurt me.” Yan Zhen said, rolling up his sleeves to reveal his well-developed arm muscles. “Since I’ve been with you, when have you ever seen me suffer a loss?”
Jing Chen: "..."
That's true. When Yan Zhen was in fifth grade, he noticed that a quiet and introverted boy in his class was often bullied and extorted by underage blond-haired thugs outside the school in alleys after school.
She used her saved pocket money to hire a few thugs with blond hair, who then beat the underage boys to a pulp with steel pipes, making them never dare to cause trouble again.
In terms of cunning, shrewdness, and audacity, few of her peers can match her.
"I can get you fifty million when I get back," Yan Zhen said in a low voice. "Fifty million!!! How many years would we have to work like beasts of burden after graduation to earn that much money?"
"But what if you suffer any injustice when you go back..."
"I have legs now, I can run away if I'm wronged!" Yan Zhen said with a grin. "If I'm wronged, I'll call you, and you can come to my door and demand justice for me."
The mirror remained silent.
On the one hand, he didn't want Yan Zhen to fall into such a repressive family and experience backstabbing and intrigue again.
On the other hand, he knew very well that the only way to make Yan Zhen completely let go of the past was to let her experience what happened in her previous life again.
Only she can break this deadlock; no one else can help her.
After a long pause, Jing Chen relented: "Okay, but I have one condition."
"What conditions?"
"I will go with you."
Yan Zhen was taken aback.
When Chu Huian was beckoned back to the tea pavilion by Yan Zhen, she saw Yan Zhen with a malicious smile on his face, and she felt a sense of crisis.
"Mom," Yan Zhen called out.
This shout made Chu Huian shudder, and goosebumps rose on her arms.
She picked up a cup of tea, feigning composure: "Have you figured it out?"
“Yes, I’ve figured it out,” Yan Zhen said. “But I have one condition.”
"Tell me."
Yan Zhen hugged Jing Chen's arm: "I want to take him back with me."
Chu Huian's hand trembled, and the tea spilled from the cup: "What?"
Yan Zhen rested his head on Jing Chen's shoulder: "My brother has been taking care of my food, clothing, and shelter all these years. I can't live without him, so I want to take him back with me. If you agree, we'll go home, pack our things, and go with you. If you don't agree, then this is out of the question."
Chu Huian: "..."
Seeing that her face was not good, Yan Zhen said in a gentle tone, "Didn't you want me to go home and fight for the inheritance? My brother is very smart and he stands on my side unconditionally. If we bring him back with us, our mother and daughter will have a powerful ally. This is a good thing that money can't buy. Once this opportunity is gone, it won't come again."
