Before the couple left, they gave Xie Zilang a business card, which had nothing on it except for their names and numbers.

Although he didn't understand why people were still giving out business cards in this day and age, Xie Zilang still casually stuffed it into his pocket.

Now it has finally come in very handy.

Xie Zilang dialed the number.

He had to admit that if it weren't for Jiang Tian, ​​he probably wouldn't have wanted to contact that couple again.

He had very mixed feelings about them.

Seeing that Xie Zilang was lost in thought, Jiang Tian quietly reached out and pinched the back of his hand.

Xie Zilang snapped out of his daze.

After about several tens of seconds, the other end finally answered: "Hello?"

Xie Zilang said calmly, "Let's meet one more time."

A private room in a teahouse.

Jiang Tian and Xie Zilang sat on one side, while Chen Yide and his wife sat on the other side.

The couple noticed the affection between Xie Zilang and Jiang Tian in their eyes and expressions, and their expressions turned extremely unpleasant.

Chen Yide's wife, Shen Xuerong, Xie Zilang's nominal mother, couldn't hold back any longer.

She asked, "Zilang, what is your relationship with the lady next to you?"

They investigated Jiang Tian, ​​and given her shameful background, it was absolutely impossible for her to enter the Chen family.

Xie Zilang: "She is my girlfriend."

Shen Xuerong's face turned ashen. She opened her mouth and immediately ordered, "Before you go home, deal with this relationship properly. This Ms. Jiang is not suitable to be your partner."

She didn't say anything too harsh, but her purpose was clear.

Xie Zilang shook his head: "I won't break up with her. I came to find you two not to acknowledge my ancestors, but to ask you for money."

He lost patience and couldn't afford to waste any more time with them.

The two men's disdain for Jiang Tian was so blatant that it fueled his anger.

The couple were indeed taken aback by his words.

What are you saying?

Xie Zilang is always very efficient when dealing with things he doesn't want to deal with.

He immediately explained his advantages.

“Currently, I am a celebrity and have signed with a good company, so my influence in the media is growing. If I were to expose that the wealthy couple Chen Yide and Shen Xuerong abandoned their child for their future, the Chen family might not be able to escape unscathed.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yide and Shen Xuerong's expressions changed completely.

“We haven’t abandoned you,” Shen Xuerong said dryly.

“I’ve been to that orphanage and found the staff member who was in charge of receiving you. He told me that you didn’t plan to bring me back. As far as I know, after you sent me to the orphanage, you both went abroad to study soon after. Perhaps in that era when opportunities were precious, I was a burden.”

"Besides, you two had a child before you were married, and you were afraid of a scandal... I can understand that."

Shen Xuerong's eyes reddened: "What are you saying, child? We looked for you before, and all our friends know that."

"Is this a prelude to prevent me from visiting and claiming kinship with them?"

"You!" Shen Xuerong was speechless.

“I’ve been in that orphanage the whole time. I haven’t been anywhere else before I went to the Xie family. If you really look for me, you won’t be unable to find me. Getting rid of a little burden means I can continue to pursue my studies, which is a good thing.”

"As for me, I guess you haven't considered me."

Chen Yide and Shen Xuerong both looked very unpleasant.

It was obvious at a glance that his guess was about 70-80% correct.

Before the sadness in his heart could even begin to build, it was dispelled by Jiang Tian's gentle tickling of his palm.

He glanced at Jiang Tian, ​​who was blinking frantically at him, and couldn't help but smirk slightly.

"I don't want to make a big fuss about this. You guys are so successful, from academia to business, you probably don't want this either, right?"

The couple suddenly fell silent.

Chen Yide finally spoke: "If you go home, I can give you a portion of the shares at my discretion. Stop making trouble."

"We temporarily gave you up for the sake of our future. Xue Rong originally wanted to have an abortion, but she found out too late and her health wasn't good, so she had no choice but to give birth to you. It was our fault. Don't worry, we will give you what you are entitled to."

“I only want money. I won’t go back to the Chen family. You have a son and a daughter now, and they are different from me. If I go back, it will only cause discord in your family.”

"Besides, it would be difficult for me to integrate into another family. Give me the money."

Xie Zilang's constant mention of money drew a hint of disdain from the couple.

But his threats were very effective.

Some people would rather spend money to buy a good reputation, because it's a matter of face.

Their decision to abandon Xie Zilang after weighing the pros and cons was actually a well-kept secret. Even their friends thought they had abandoned the child after fostering him, but the child himself saw through their deception.

If he were to spout nonsense in front of the media, the couple would really have to go through a lot of trouble.

What's more, he's my biological son.

Even tigers don't eat their cubs, so they can't use any extreme measures against him.

How much money do you want?

Hearing that he had relented, Xie Zilang did not hesitate: "I'll take whatever amount of affection is missing between us."

His words were too pragmatic.

Chen Yide's face twitched with anger.

Finally, they asked for his bank card number, told him they would transfer the money to him, and then left.

Before leaving, Shen Xuerong was still somewhat indignant: "In the Xie family, you are the only son, you should be doing well, so why have you become so sharp-tongued?"

Xie Zilang gave a very faint smile. Everyone thought he had a good life, but they didn't know that he had been suffering under intense pressure.

"If you think I'm doing well, then go and check just how well I'm doing."

His sarcasm worked; the two men's expressions changed, and they pushed open the door and left.

Ultimately, they didn't put much effort into the child.

Otherwise, it would be easy to find out roughly how Xie Zilang was doing in the Xie family with a simple search.

Even though everything went smoothly as expected, Xie Zilang felt an indescribable weariness.

This exhaustion made him look pale and pitiful.

Xie Zilang confronted his parents, and Jiang Tian, ​​after arriving, acted as a mascot and did not participate in the entire exchange.

After the couple left, she comforted Xie Zilang by hugging and cuddling him.

She kissed his lips and said, "Alright, what's there to be sad about? We'll be rich soon. Put those thoughts aside and let's go home."

Xie Zilang's expression softened again, and he held Jiang Tian's hand tightly.

He has a family now.

Having accomplished something big, Jiang Tian let Xie Zilang have his way with some small perks.

Xie Zilang was not an arrogant or domineering person; he was quite reserved in his daily life.

But if you let him reveal his beastly nature, things won't be any better.

"If you do that again, believe me, I'll kick you off the building."

Jiang Tian, ​​whose entire body had been licked, strongly suspected that Xie Zilang was a pervert.
