He pulled her into his arms, and just as a big fight was about to break out, there was a knock on the door: "Auntie, that person is here again."
It was Xin Xin who spoke; she knocked on the door and was about to push it open to enter.
"Okay." Ning Qingyan hurriedly pushed Ye Xingchen away, stood up, and tidied her messy clothes and hair.
Eight-year-old Xin Xin walked in, giggling, "Auntie, what are you doing? Why is your face so red?"
"It's nothing, I was just playing games." Ning Qingyan felt very embarrassed and quickly covered it up: "I'll go now."
"Brother Xingchen, what game are you and Auntie playing? I want to play too." Xin Xin sat down next to Ye Xingchen, looking innocent.
"This... is a game for adults, not for children." Ye Xingchen was extremely embarrassed.
“I’m not a little kid anymore.” Xin Xin snorted. “I’m already in second grade. I know that even if you don’t tell me.”
"You know?" Ye Xingchen was startled.
“It’s just a kid. My classmate said he saw his parents hugging and rolling around on the bed…” Xin Xin said seriously, “He asked his parents what they were doing, and they said they were chasing a child.”
"I didn't..." Ye Xingchen was both amused and exasperated.
"Don't try to hide it, I can tell. I'm going to call you Uncle from now on." Xin Xin giggled.
"Where did your aunt go? I'm going to check on her." Ye Xingchen fled in panic.
At the bar counter of the club, a well-dressed man was drinking a cocktail, looking roguish.
“I am Xin Xin’s father,” the man said. “You’d better give her to me so I can take her back.”
"Li Changbo, do you have any shame?" Ning Qingyan said coldly, "When you abandoned them, Xin Xin was only three years old."
"Xin Xin's mother passed away unexpectedly, and you and your mistress were living a life of debauchery, neglecting even your three-year-old daughter. Now that you're bankrupt, your mistress has run away, and you're eyeing the inheritance left by Xin Xin's mother?" Ning Qingyan's expression was icy.
“That rightfully belongs to me. Xin Xin is my daughter, and I am now her sole guardian, so the property left by her mother should rightfully be managed by me.” Li Changbo said shamelessly, “Thank you for taking care of Xin Xin all these years. Now I’m taking her back.”
"Don't even think about it." Ning Qingyan sneered, "Li Changbo, making someone disappear is a very simple matter."
"I'll spare your life because you're Xin Xin's father, but don't push your luck, or else..."
"Threatening me?" Li Changbo wasn't afraid at all.
A man in a suit standing next to him stood up and handed over his business card: "Hello Ms. Ning, I am Mr. Li's lawyer, Chen Ning. This is my business card."
“The guardianship of Xin Xin and her property should belong to Mr. Li, and your words just now pose a threat to Mr. Li’s personal safety. We can sue you at any time.”
"Oh, a lawyer, huh? Impressive." Ye Xingchen walked over slowly, smiling as he said, "Li Changbo, right? Is this matter off the table?"
“It’s not like there’s no room for negotiation,” Li Changbo said smugly. “Give me 30 million, and I’ll give up guardianship. Xin Xin can stay here from now on.”
"But if you don't give it to me, then I'll have no choice but to fight for guardianship to protect my own interests."
"I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you before." Ye Xingchen nodded slightly: "You want thirty million?"
“That’s right, thirty million.” Li Changbo held up three fingers: “Give me the money and I’ll leave immediately, and I won’t fight for custody anymore.”
“If they don’t give it to me, I will fight for custody. Xin Xin is my daughter, and the court will definitely award custody to me.” Li Changbo said smugly, “You know who I am, right? I dare not say whether Xin Xin will suffer in my hands.”
"She's your daughter too, how can you be so heartless?" Ye Xingchen looked at him as if he were a weirdo.
"So what? Enough with the nonsense. I'm very busy. Either agree to my demands and give me 30 million, or we'll see each other in court," Li Changbo sneered.
"Is there any chance of winning the lawsuit?" Ye Xingchen turned to look at Ning Qingyan.
“He was very young. He is Xin Xin’s father.” Ning Qingyan shook her head.
"Okay, I understand." Ye Xingchen nodded, then turned and smiled, "Thirty million won't do. I'm afraid you'll run out of money and come back to bother us again."
"Alright, it's a flat price, fifty million. Here's fifty million for you, but you're not allowed to come back."
"You've really got a great price." Li Changbo was stunned. He had been prepared to be bargained down; 20 million was his bottom line.
But to my surprise, Ye Xingchen directly raised the price to fifty million. Is this guy an idiot?
"Just tell me, do you agree or disagree?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“Agreed? Only a fool would disagree.” Li Changbo’s face beamed like a chrysanthemum. “We can sign a contract. I guarantee that once the money is in place, I won’t come back.”
"Okay." Ye Xingchen nodded, then suddenly spread his five fingers and slapped Li Changbo's chrysanthemum-like face hard: "Fifty million."
*Thud*... Li Changbo screamed as his body rolled violently backward, collapsing to the ground with a thud, all his teeth shattered.
His face quickly swelled up, turning into a pig's head.
"You dare hit me, Attorney Chen? Send him a lawyer's letter, we're suing him!" Li Changbo screamed, his face contorted in pain.
“Okay, I’ll send him a lawyer’s letter right away.” Chen Ning picked up his briefcase and was about to write the lawyer’s letter.
*Slap...* Ye Xingchen slapped him across the face. The slap wasn't hard, but it was extremely humiliating.
"You dare hit me? I'm a lawyer." Chen Ning looked at Ye Xingchen in disbelief.
*Slap!* Ye Xingchen slapped the car, making him stagger.
"Fine, fine, you've got guts. I'll show you how expensive these two slaps are." Chen Ning's eyes had been knocked out, and he pointed at Ye Xingchen and yelled.
*Slap...* With the third slap, Ye Xingchen made him bleed from the mouth.
At the same time, a large group of people appeared behind Ning Qingyan; these people were all Ning Qingyan's people.
Chen Ning immediately chickened out. He knew what Jinghong Club was. Yes, he was an expert in lawsuits, and he could make the other party pay hundreds of thousands of yuan with those few slaps.
But whether you'll live to enjoy it is another matter.
"Brother, let's talk this out." A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, so Chen Ning quickly adjusted his glasses and lowered his tone.
"Is Attorney Chen not feeling well?" Ye Xingchen said casually.
"I'm in good health." Chen Ning was a little annoyed. He had just had a medical check-up, and he usually paid attention to health preservation.
"Really? Then press down on your third rib on the left and take a deep breath." Ye Xingchen glanced at him.
Chen Ning was stunned for a moment, but he did as he was told. He pressed his third rib and took a deep breath.
As he inhaled, the pain nearly made him scream; he felt as if a steel needle had pierced his chest and back.
