"You little scoundrel, what did you do to my daughter?!"
Upon seeing this, Liu Cuifen immediately bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, pointing at Zhou Yang and shrieking.
"Let her go! Yao Yao belongs to Zheng Qiang. It's not your place to hug and cuddle her like that. Shameless!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he snorted coldly: "Zheng Qiang's men? Ha, this is the 21st century now, the Qing Dynasty is long gone! It's Xu Yao's freedom to be with whomever she wants!"
"She doesn't like Zheng Qiang. Even if Zheng Qiang were the King of Heaven descended to earth, he wouldn't be able to touch a single hair on her head!"
He paused, then turned his gaze to the Xu family of three, his voice suddenly turning cold, carrying a hint of warning.
"And you lot, if you want money, shut up! If you dare to cause trouble here again, don't even think about taking Xu Yao away, you won't get a single penny. Think it over!"
Xu Daqiang's heart skipped a beat, feeling a chill run down his spine from Zhou Yang's icy gaze.
He grabbed Liu Cuifen, who was still trying to throw a tantrum, and hissed, "Shut up! Do you want your money back?!"
Liu Cuifen pouted resentfully after being yelled at, and didn't dare to say another word.
Xu Daqiang forced a fawning smile, rubbed his hands together, and made an outrageous demand of Zhou Yang.
"Boss Zhou, we won't ask for much. Considering Yao Yao has been with you all this time, please give us... give us 800,000!"
"We'll buy out all rights to her for 800,000 yuan, and we promise we'll never bother Yao Yao again! How about it?"
Eight hundred thousand—that's a number they never dared to dream of.
Once we get this money, we'll have the dowry and house for our son's wedding!
Xu Daqiang was making his own plans.
Zhou Yang's lips curled into an undisguised sneer: "Eight hundred thousand? Heh, what's the difference between that and selling your daughter? But..."
He changed the subject, a cold glint in his eyes, "If it costs some money, it's not impossible to make people like you disappear from her sight forever."
His eyes were disdainful, filled with arrogance and contempt.
"But it has to be a cash transaction! To make sure you won't bother her again or ask me for money again, I need to keep some evidence."
Zhou Yang pointed his phone camera at them and said, "If you want to buy off your relationship with Xu Yao with money, then you have to make things clear. Film a video according to my requirements. Do you agree?"
The phone camera was pointed directly at the Xu family of three.
Xu Daqiang asked in confusion, "Filming a video...what for?"
Zhou Yang said directly, "Of course, it's to prevent you from breaking your promise! You must clearly state in the video that you voluntarily gave up your family ties with Xu Yao and used this money to sever ties with her."
"I want to emphasize that it is you who no longer want her, not that Xu Yao is unfilial and abandoned you. I will record the whole process."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the greedy faces of the Xu family: "Think it through. Once it's recorded, there's no going back."
"If you ever dare to cause trouble for Xu Yao again, this video will be irrefutable proof. I will show you what it means to be utterly disgraced."
"No problem! No problem!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Daqiang's eyes practically lit up with greed.
So what if he said a few shameless things? Compared to 800,000, shame is nothing!
Once the money is in hand, who cares about that brat!
He was so excited that his voice trembled, he rubbed his hands together, and drool was practically dripping from his mouth.
"Boss Zhou, we'll do whatever you say! As long as the money is right, we'll say whatever you tell us to say!"
Liu Cuifen and Xu Yaozu nodded eagerly, looking impatient, as if afraid that Zhou Yang would change his mind at any moment.
Eight hundred thousand! That's a lot of money!
I've never seen so much money piled up together in my entire life!
However, just as Xu Daqiang was preparing to "perform" in front of the camera...
His eyes darted around, and his greedy nature was once again on full display.
"Um... Mr. Zhou..."
His face was plastered with a fawning smile as he tentatively asked, "Eight hundred thousand... isn't... isn't that a bit too little?"
Liu Cuifen immediately realized what was happening and echoed in a high-pitched voice.
"That's right, my Yaoyao is so beautiful, you can't find another one like her for miles around. In the future... she can make money for the family in other ways! You think you can buy her out for 800,000? That's too cheap for you!"
The mention of "other methods" in her words sent a chill down Xu Yao's spine, and she tightened her grip on Zhou Yang's arm.
Xu Yaozu chimed in, "That's right, my sister is so beautiful, she could easily hook up with a rich guy and be worth at least a million! Not a penny less!"
"One million?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qiang immediately became anxious.
Damn it, these idiots, they sold Xu Yao for a million?
What about him? Won't he end up with absolutely nothing?!
No, absolutely not!
He suddenly stood up and earnestly advised the Xu family of three.
"Uncle, Aunt, Yaozu, you're all confused! How can one million be enough? Yaoyao is a golden phoenix!"
"In my opinion, it should be at least two million. I'll take eight hundred thousand as a service fee, and the three of you can split the remaining one million two hundred thousand. Wouldn't that be better?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Daqiang's eyes widened immediately, and he pointed at Zheng Qiang, cursing loudly.
"Zheng Qiang, you little bastard, who do you think you are? This is my Xu family's daughter. Why should you get half the money from selling her? Dream on!"
"At worst, I'll return the 50,000 yuan dowry to you! The rest of the money is none of your business. You think you can take food from my bowl? No way!"
Xu Yaozu doesn't care about his cousin anymore; when money comes, family ties are nothing!
