Xie Jinya's words immediately drew disagreement from the audience.
"Mrs. An, have you no shame? Weren't you the one who said you wanted to sever ties?"
"Exactly! They're only trying to back out now that they see an opportunity to profit! Their greedy faces are truly disgusting!"
“Listen to how Chu Xia is treated at the An family home. She lives in the storeroom, isn’t given food or drinks, and has to wear clothes that An Mingzhu doesn’t want… Is this really how they treat her as their daughter? To be honest, even my servants are treated much better!”
"Xie Jinya and An Guosheng are really ruthless. I used to think that no matter how badly parents or children did, they shouldn't break off relations. But now I've changed my mind. I think Lin Chuxia's decision to sever ties with the An family was the right thing to do!"
"Exactly, listen to what she's saying. It's like Lin Chuxia is willing to be her daughter. Besides, wasn't her pregnancy with Lin Chuxia just a result of a momentary pleasure with her man? As far as I know, the An family originally had someone else in mind for their daughter-in-law, right? It's just that Xie Jinya suddenly became pregnant at that time..."
"So, Xie Jinya used a baby to climb the social ladder back then? Getting pregnant was just a means for her to become the An family's daughter-in-law? Then why is she still pretending? The truly pitiful ones are the children she used, okay?"
...
The people in the audience were talking quite loudly, perhaps because they wanted Xie Jinya and An Guosheng to hear them, so they all raised their voices.
Hearing wave after wave of insults directed at her, Xie Jinya's face turned deathly pale.
An Guosheng, who was standing next to her, didn't look much better either.
Lin Chuxia had no interest in admiring their panicked and regretful faces. She simply looked at them and said calmly, "Mrs. An, I'm sure you've heard what everyone's saying. To be honest, if I had a choice, I wouldn't want to be born to you. But what you just said makes some sense. You gave birth to me, and even if you didn't do anything special, you certainly put in the effort. Even if you gave birth to me without my consent, I'm willing to pay you for it."
Surrogacy abroad only costs a few million, right? I can give you ten million to buy out the child outright. Of course, if you don't accept that, that's fine too. When you get old, I can pay you alimony every year as required by law. I will pay you every penny that is due, but I won't give more or less.
Actually, in principle, you didn't raise me, so I don't have any obligation to support you.
But it doesn't matter, she's willing to pay for some peace and quiet.
Thinking it over, Lin Chuxia raised her head to look at them, her eyes resolute: "So, Mrs. An, Mr. An, what is your choice?"
"No! I won't choose either one!" How much is ten million?
She didn't want any of these options.
Lin Chuxia was born to her, and no matter what, she is still the daughter of the An family. This relationship cannot be severed!
Unlike Xie Jinya's madness, Lin Chuxia remained calm: "We already signed a certificate severing our relationship. No matter what you choose, it doesn't matter if you choose neither. In any case, we have no relationship anymore."
"No! That's not how it is!" Xie Jinya rushed forward to grab Lin Chuxia's hand, but as she lunged at him, Gu Yuheng kicked her away.
Gu Yuheng was already seething with anger, but Xie Jinya just happened to run into him. He kicked her with almost all his might, and Xie Jinya lay on the ground in pain, unable to speak for a long time.
"Madam An, do you really think I, Gu, am dead?" Gu Yuheng's voice was as cold as a thousand-year-old ice.
