Chapter 109 Please Return My Daughter to Me (1/2)
”Smack!” Xin Qing's palm connected with Molly's cheek. Xin Qing was so enraged that she was shaking all over.
”You filthy b*tch! You dare hit me?” Molly pounced on Xin Qing. Before Molly's strike could find it's target, her arm was grabbed by Ying Qingcang, who then flung her to the floor.
Having heard the commotion, Aunt Tian and Uncle Fu rushed into the room. At the sight of Ah Sha, Aunt Tian began to panic. ”Oh my God. I just left to prepare some milk powder for the child. How did it become like this?”
”Ah Sha, don't cry! Mommy is here now. Mommy is here!” With great care, Xin Qing wiped off the stains of applesauce from Ah Sha's mouth. Turning to Aunt Tian, she said, ”Thank you so much for helping me look after Ah Sha all this while. Can you help me pack her things? I'm taking her away from here.”
”Young Miss!” Aunt Tian had felt tremendous joy when she saw Xin Qing. But upon hearing Xin Qing's plan to take Ah Sha away, Aunt Tian looked at Ying Qingcang with a conflicted expression.
Ying Qingcang stared icily at Molly, who remained seated on the ground. Molly held her cheek with her hand, trying everything to avoid his gaze. Time and again, she would shoot glares at Xin Qing. Deep down, she felt the urge to bite Xin Qing to death.
”Ah Sha and Xin Qing will stay outside the house for a few days.” Ying Qingcang said. But the moment those words left his mouth, Xin Qing spoke with a face that was completely devoid of emotions. ”I've changed my mind. I'm bringing Ah Sha back with me to France.”
Ying Qingcang frowned. ”How are you supposed to take care of her all alone?”
”That's my business. I know I won't let Ah Sha stay here and be abused.” Xin Qing picked Ah Sha up. Before heading upstairs to start packing Ah Sha's belongings, she threw out a cold parting shot, ”If you try to stop me, then we'll see each other in court.”
Xin Qing packed Ah Sha's things and then had Uncle Fu and Ah Che load the things into the car. In the meantime, Aunt Tian was crying surreptitiously. When you come right down to it, Aunt Tian had practically raised Ah Sha. Aunt Tian was already emotionally attached to the child, so naturally, this would be difficult parting for her. Through all that, Xin Qing never spared Ying Qingcang a single glance. Ying Qingcang could do nothing other than stand there with a dark scowl on his face, giving out a bone chilling aura from head to toe. When Xin Qing was getting in the car with Ah Sha in her arms, Ying Qingcang moved to the driver side and opened the door to get in.
”There's no need for you to drive me. Ah Che can do it.” Xin Qing still refused to look at him. Ying Qingcang's fist slammed down on the door. ”Come here!” He roared. Those words were meant for Molly, who was standing at the front entrance. Molly staggered over.
”Kneel.” Ying Qingcang said, glaring at her. Deep down, he wanted to wring this woman's neck until it finally snapped in his hands.
Molly stared back at him. ”Wh-wh— what did you just say?”
”Apologize,” Ying Qingcang said, kicking Molly from behind. Molly stumbled and nearly rammed her head into the car. She kneeled on the ground and finally began to cry.
Xin Qing looked at them quietly. ”You guys can carry on with your charade after I leave. Ah Che, if you don't start driving now, I'll get down and start walking.”
”I'll start driving right away!” Ah Che closed his side of the door and sneaked a glance at Ying Qingcang. After that, he fired up the engine and drove off.
Ying Qingcang stood there for a long time. After a while, he turned around and began walking towards another car. ”Uncle Fu, I don't want to see this woman here later when I return.”
Molly threw herself at the car door, refusing to let him leave. ”Ying Qingcang? You promised me we'd be engaged. Don't you want to know...”
”And I also mentioned to you before not to test my patience. Otherwise, I won't mind using other methods to get that information out of you.” Ying Qingcang said. After that, he floored the accelerator and drove towards the company. Ah Nan had heard about everything from Ah Che. When he saw Ying Qingcang at the company, he quickly asked, ”Young Master, did you really let the young miss take Ah Sha away?”
If Xin Qing really did take Ah Sha away, then Ying Qingcang could no longer use Ah Sha as an excuse to go see Xin Qing.
”Sir, you could always ask the lawyer to talk things out with the young miss...”
Ying Qingcang waved a hand. ”It's useless. If you use the same old trick and threaten her with the fact that she can't adopt Ah Sha without being married, she won't hesitate to find a random person and then marry him.”
”Ah!” Ah Nan's jaw dropped. He did not dare say anything else after that.
Just then, Young Master Shen stormed in and began shouting, ”Hey, hey! What the hell did you do again? Why the heck would Xiao Qingqing be taking Ah Sha away?”
”You came just in time. Ask your people to take Molly away. Do whatever it takes to get the words out of her,” Ying Qingcang said. Then he turned to Ah Nan and said, ”Withdraw all our funds from the Morgan family. Tell them that I no longer want Molly and that if they're still looking for a collaboration, then they should show me the right attitude.”
Ah Nan nodded and left to carry out the directive. ”Tsk, tsk, tsk,” Young Master Shen said complacently. ”Yo, yo. What did that dumb bimbo do again? Looks like she has finally made you snap.”
Irritated, Ying Qingcang grabbed the nearest object on his desk and hurled it at Young Master Shen. Young Master Shen dodged and continued his gloating, ”I told you ages ago not to hold back when dealing with her. Just force the words straight out of her! But you didn't listen and had insisted on going round in circles. And look what happened? Let's see what kind of excuse you can come up with to go see Xiao Qingqing!”
”The old man owed the Morgan family a favor. The doctor said he doesn't have long. I was just planning to drag things out for a little while before taking action.” Ying Qingcang sat down, massaging his forehead. All of a sudden, his eyes flashed with menace. ”But Molly kept testing my patience. And now Xin Qing hates me even more. D*mn it to hell!” Ying Qingcang's pounded the desk with his fist. When he recalled the way Xin Qing had refused to even look at him, his heart was once again filled with panic and hatred.
”It's best if you give your grandfather a heads up. Otherwise, he'd be clueless when Morgan's people go to him.” Young Master Shen said, standing up. ”Leave that dimwit Molly to me. I'll get her to spit out the truth.”
”About Xin Qing...” Ying Qingcang said all of a sudden.
Young Master Shen's head popped back in through the doorway. ”Don't worry. I'll clear things up with her. Although... I bet she won't forgive you even after I told her everything.”
”Get out!” Ying Qingcang tossed an ashtray at the door.
