The moment those words left her lips, Feng Lin froze on the spot as if she had been struck by a magic acupoint, forgetting even to breathe.
Feng Xiuqin immediately turned her head and glared angrily at Sheng Feichen, "Did you tell her?!"
Lin Hui chuckled arrogantly, "Is there anything in this world that I can't find out?"
Bao Han, who was eavesdropping, covered his wide-open mouth in horror.
Sheng Feichen was impatient and couldn't stand their back-and-forth questioning, so he blurted everything out.
"Oh dear, Auntie, Linlin, let me tell you this. The people who came looking for Hanhan these past two days have mistaken him for their own child."
He turned to look at Lin Hui, his attitude becoming even more respectful.
"Ms. Lin came here this time to get Auntie and Linlin's consent so that they can take the child back."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Feng Xiuqin grabbed a teacup from the table and threw it at Sheng Feichen.
"You beast! You got my Linlin pregnant and then just left! My Linlin couldn't even go to school on her own, and she gave birth to your child. And what do you do! Now you're back and you want to sell the child! Do you have any conscience at all?!"
Feng Xiuqin's voice was filled with anger as she scolded him, and she was trembling with rage.
Feng Lin kept pulling Feng Xiuqin, who was about to lose control.
"Mom! Why are you shouting so loudly! The whole neighborhood can hear you! How am I supposed to face anyone after this?!"
In her anger, Feng Xiuqin began to speak recklessly.
"See no one whatsoever! You wretched daughter! When you got pregnant, why didn't you think about whether you wanted to see anyone or not? Now I have to clean up your mess. Do you know how many scornful looks I've taken for you these past two years?!"
Sheng Feichen couldn't stand seeing her criticize Feng Lin so rudely.
"Auntie! After this collaboration is completed, Miss Lin can pay us 500,000! 500,000!"
Feng Lin was completely stunned when she heard the number.
She turned to Lin Hui to confirm, "Really 500,000?"
Lin Hui noticed the surprise on her face, and her sneer deepened.
"certainly!"
Before Feng Lin could say anything more, Feng Xiuqin grabbed her arm.
"Are you really going to sell Hanhan for this money?"
Lin Hui immediately chimed in, "Auntie, don't get so worked up. Let me finish. After you hear it, you might realize that this isn't selling a child, but giving the child a better future."
Feng Xiuqin retorted sarcastically, "Don't try to make it sound so nice. There's always a reason for such kindness. Would you really be so good-hearted as to do charity for our family for nothing? You must have some ulterior motive!"
Lin Hui smiled as she listened to her harsh words.
"Auntie, your child is about to start primary school. Have you taken care of the student registration, school arrangements, and everything else?"
Feng Xiuqin choked up suddenly, "What else do you know?"
Lin Hui smiled meaningfully.
"I also know that given your family's situation, if your daughter doesn't continue to use her looks to please men and become a plaything for rich second-generation heirs, she won't be able to hold on for more than two days."
Feng Xiuqin's face turned pale. She turned and stared intently at Feng Lin, demanding, "Is this the legitimate way you've been talking about making money?"
Feng Lin was so directly exposed that she couldn't sit still any longer.
"Mom!" she called out in a complaining tone.
Feng Xiuqin's chest heaved violently, and she pursed her lips, remaining silent for a long time.
Lin Hui wasn't in a hurry; she leisurely crossed her legs and waited for her to speak.
After a long while, Feng Xiuqin finally managed to open her mouth.
What are your conditions?
Lin Hui smirked triumphantly, "It's simple, just put on a show and make them take the child back."
Feng Xiuqin continued, "What will we get if we send the child there? Will the child be bullied? What will they do with the child? Trafficking or something?"
Seeing her flustered appearance, Lin Hui reassured her.
"Don't worry, they're just anxious to find their child and have mistaken your child for their own son. Besides the 500,000 yuan in cash, what I can give you is, more importantly, a bright future for your child."
"A bright future?" Feng Xiuqin murmured, repeating the words.
Lin Hui nodded confidently, "Do you know who the person looking for the child is?"
"Who?" Feng Xiuqin and Feng Lin asked in unison.
"The goddaughter of the Li Group."
After Lin Hui finished speaking, she looked at Feng Xiuqin's bewildered face and asked in surprise, "You don't even know about the Li Group?"
Just because Feng Xiuqin didn't know doesn't mean Feng Lin was unaware.
As a gold digger who moves among the rich second generation, she naturally knows their situation very well.
But she never expected that the person looking for the child would be the goddaughter of the Li Group.
Feng Lin tugged at Feng Xiuqin's arm, "Mom, do you remember the mall where you went to steal eggs last time?"
Feng Xiuqin nodded blankly, "What's wrong?"
Feng Lin whispered, "That's just an ordinary shopping mall under the Li Group. They have dozens of malls like this all over the country."
Feng Xiuqin's legs went weak. If she hadn't been sitting on a stool, she would have fallen to the ground without any regard for her image.
Lin Hui looked at her expression, which was still one of shock and disbelief despite her efforts to remain composed, and asked, "So? Given her status, she wouldn't possibly want to do anything to your child, would she?"
Sheng Feichen, who had been silent until now, also tried to persuade him: "Auntie, Linlin, do you really want Hanhan to continue living this kind of life where he doesn't know where his next meal is coming from, and he doesn't even know where his school or student status is?"
Feng Lin was already tempted when she heard there was 500,000 yuan, not to mention that she was going to send Bao Han to the home of Li's goddaughter.
She turned to look at Feng Xiuqin: "Mom, how about we do this for Hanhan's sake, okay?"
Feng Xiuqin was filled with hesitation. She turned her head and glanced reluctantly in the direction of Bao Han's room.
When Bao Han noticed her gaze directed his way, he hurriedly closed the door.
Feng Xiuqin struggled internally for a long time before finally saying, "But I have one condition: I must see Hanhan regularly to make sure he is safe."
Lin Hui: "This is what you need to talk to them about. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder: the child is in your hands, so you have more say than they do."
This sentence completely shook Feng Xiuqin.
"What do you want us to do? How can we fool them?"
Lin Hui smiled and said, "It's very simple. All you need is a birthmark, and I'll take care of the rest."
Feng Lin turned to Feng Xiuqin urgently: "Mom!"
Sheng Feichen also urged from the side, "Auntie! Please agree, for Linlin and Hanhan's sake, and for your own!"
Feng Xiuqin let out a deep breath and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's do it this way."
