Knowing that Yun Shixian was trying to sow discord, Yun Mo naturally would not be fooled.
"Uncle Yun, thank you for your reminder and concern, but I am already an adult. I will take all the consequences of my own choices, whether good or bad."
Yun Shixian looked at the two of them, smiled and nodded, "Okay, Xiaomo, since you are so ambitious, I won't meddle in your business. If you insist on severing your relationship with your family, then let's settle the accounts all at once."
As he spoke, Yun Shixian picked up a document from the desk and handed it to her.
Yun Mo took it and looked at it, and found that it was all the expenses and expenditures for her from birth until she was 18 years old.
Every detail was listed clearly, including the gifts and dinners given to senior officials of the Education Bureau in order to send her to No. 6 Middle School, as well as her attending various interest classes and hiring tutors, etc., which filled more than ten pages.
Yun Mo flipped to the end and saw the total amount was nearly 20,000! "Xiao Mo, these are just the financial expenses. Your Aunt Jiang and I have invested so much effort in you over the years. We have placed high hopes on you since you were a child, carefully raised you up, and tried our best to train you into a talent."
Yun Mo closed the list and raised her eyes. "How do you want to calculate it?"
Yun Shixian smiled, "How much do you think my daughter, whom I have worked so hard to raise, is worth?"
"I don't know. I only know that after Yun Yao came back, you have been treating me, your adopted daughter, as if I were nothing. You wanted to treat me like trash and throw me as far away as possible."
"You are wrong. I just feel sorry for my children. There is no parent in the world who doesn't love their children."
Tsk, I don't believe you, you old man are so mean.
Yun Mo was too lazy to beat around the bush. "Just tell me how much I need to pay to take away my household registration and completely sever my relationship with the Yun family."
Yun Shixian slowly raised his right hand with five fingers spread out.
Even though Yun Mo was prepared for the other party to ask for a high price, she was still shocked by the price.
50,000! Ha, should she thank the other party for thinking too highly of her? "Uncle Yun, I really don't know whether you think too highly of me, or of the identity of the daughter of the Yun family, or whether you have no intention of returning my household registration, so you put forward such harsh and almost impossible conditions."
Facing Yun Mo's questioning, Yun Shixian was not angry, "Xiao Mo, do you think 50,000 is a lot? Or do you think you are not worth this price?"
Yun Mo sneered, "According to what you said, everyone can be measured by price? Then how much do you think Yun Yao and Yun Huan are worth? As long as others offer an ideal price, can you sell them all?"
"Xiao Mo, I don't want to say anything too harsh, but if you say that, I might as well tell you that there is a cloth merchant in Jiangnan who wants to marry a beautiful daughter of a wealthy family for his silly son. The gift alone can reach five figures. The cloth merchant has only one son. The son you give birth to after you marry him can inherit the entire family business in the future. After all, do you still think 50,000 is a lot?"
Yun Mo wanted to pull out the 40-meter-long sword.
No wonder Yun Shixian asked her to move back to the Yun family some time ago, and also openly and secretly encouraged her to divorce Ling Chuan. Was this his idea?
What did he think she was? An animal? Sold to whoever offered the highest price?
Yun Shixian's plan not only made Yun Mo angry, but also made Ling Chuan's face darken, and his fists were clenched harder than iron.
As a man, Yun Shixian could naturally sense Ling Chuan's anger.
Seeing Yun Mo's surprise, Yun Shixian smiled, "Why, Xiao Mo, you don't know about this? Ling Chuan's subordinates cut corners and used inferior materials as good ones. They were caught on the spot by the company's people. He is now on the blacklist of the construction industry in Jiang City. No construction site will use him anymore."
Meeting his wife's shocked and surprised eyes, Ling Chuan couldn't help but feel embarrassed and nervous on his stern face.
If she knew, would she be angry? Or would she look down on him? She would think he had no talent and couldn't even keep his job.
Various kinds of Ling Chuan intertwined in his mind like a dense net, making him breathless and making him feel a panic he had never felt before.
"Boss Yun, I really don't have much ability now, and I can't give Momo a very good life, but I can guarantee that at any time, I will never sell her out for the sake of profit and abandon her."
Yun Shixian sneered, "I've seen a lot of young people like you. Apart from sweet talk, you don't do anything practical. You can't even provide Xiaomo with the most basic living security, so what future can you talk about?"
Ling Chuan is calm and introverted by nature, not the kind of person who talks big. In the face of Yun Shixian's ridicule, he just remained silent.
Because he knows that no matter how many words he says or how nice they sound, it is all in vain, time will prove everything.
Yun Mo couldn't stand seeing Ling Chuan being ridiculed and mocked like that.
Legally, Ling Chuan is her husband, they are a family, and Ling Chuan came to the Yun family today specifically for her, so she certainly would not sit idly by.
She held Ling Chuan's arm affectionately, pretending to be sweet, "Uncle Yun, haven't you heard the saying? A husband and wife working together can break metal. Although Ling Chuan has no money now, he is a down-to-earth, hardworking and motivated person. I believe he will make a lot of money in the future and let me live a good life."
These words made Yun Shixian feel that his adopted daughter was simply naive and ignorant.
But to Lingchuan, it sounded like clear spring water from a mountain stream, cleansing away his inner tension and anxiety.
He turned his head to look at the woman leaning against him, and felt a peace and satisfaction he had never felt before.
"Okay, since you two are happy with your relationship, I won't be the villain who separates the couple. Xiaomo, I have already made the calculation very clear to you. It's 50,000 yuan, not a cent less. Come back to me when you have the money ready.
If you really can't come up with the money, there is another option, which is to divorce Ling Chuan, follow my arrangements, and marry the young master of the Bai family."
Before Yun Mo could say anything, Ling Chuan stood in front of her, staring at Yun Shixian with black eyes as if they were frozen.
"50,000 is 50,000. When I raise enough money, I will bring Momo back to the Yun family."
After coming out of the study, Yun Mo tilted her head to look at the man beside her, "Ling Chuan, please think it over carefully. 50,000 is not a small amount. Are you really willing to use it to redeem me?"
Ling Chuan glanced at her silently and said, "Momo, I will keep my word on this matter."
Seeing the man's seriousness, Yun Mo didn't say anything more.
