Chapter 1473 - Great to Have You (33) (1/2)
Mu Wansheng answered, “Take Mianmian away. She may only be three years old, but she’s very sensible. She’s very bright too.”
Fan Shixin said, “Just like I had expected. Aren’t you afraid that I’d inform the Mu family?”
“I’m already letting you have Mianmian.”
“She’s my biological daughter in the first place. Isn’t it only right that you give me her custody?”
Fan Shixin tried to hold her hand but she managed to retract it successfully. He then pulled her toward him and said, “I want Mianmian, and I want… you too.”
Mu Wansheng’s heart skipped a beat and she said, “Let go.”
Not only did he not let go, he even allowed his hand to wander freely around her body. He said softly, “Wansheng, I miss you. I want you by my side. I’ll take good care of you and our daughter. I’ll make up for all the time that we had lost in the past few years.”
Mu Wansheng asked, “What if I refuse?”
“I’ll carry you home with me, then. I’ve already made up my mind. Do you think he can stop me?”
He then let go of her and said, “I’ll go talk to him. Stay out of this. Leave it to me to handle. I know what you’re thinking, but that’s of no use at all. I must bring you home with me. I must!”
Mu Wansheng sighed and stayed silent.
Tang Yucheng handed Fan Mianmian to Mu Wansheng and began talking to Fan Shixin in the yard.
“I’ve made a huge compromise by letting you take Mianmian away. I can’t let Happy go with you.”
Fan Shixin said bluntly, “I must bring the two of them away with me. I’m telling you now. Wansheng only sided with you on account of you saving her life. I’m sure you know whether or not she loves you. Don’t bother going against me. Settle this while I’m still patient. What do you think the consequences will be if you go toe-to-toe against me? I’m giving you the chance to lay your conditions and name your price. I’ll agree as long as it’s within my means.”
Tang Yucheng stared at him in astonishment and thought to himself, He’s letting me name my price?
He was well aware of his own limitations and knew that he would not be able to defeat Fan Shixin or stop him from taking Mu Wansheng and Fan Mianmian away.
An idea came to Tang Yucheng’s mind.
Didn’t he say that I could name my price? I shall make him back off on his own!
Tang Yucheng answered, “Ten million dollars! If you’re willing to give me ten million dollars, I’ll let you take her away.”
Fan Shixin nodded and said, “Let’s go in, then.”
He then walked into the house while Tang Yucheng followed closely behind.
Upon hearing their footsteps, Mu Wansheng asked, “What did you two talk about?”
“He said that he’s willing to let you go if I give him ten million dollars.”
Mu Wansheng asked with a frown, “Yucheng, did you really say that?”
“Yes, I told him that he could take you away as long as he gives me ten million dollars.”
“Are you objectifying me? Can I be sold like an item?” Mu Wansheng retorted.
Tang Yucheng immediately said, “Happy, he won’t be able to afford it. He may be wealthy, but he definitely doesn’t have ten million dollars.”
Mu Wansheng understood that he was just trying to make things difficult for Fan Shixin because he thought that Fan Shixin did not have that kind of money.
However, the truth is, he did have that kind of money!
