I had just stepped out of the room when I was suddenly shocked by what I saw—he was holding a thick rope tightly in his hand.
In an instant, fear surged into my heart.
My legs felt like they had lost the strength to support my body, and I almost collapsed to the ground.
He remained expressionless, radiating a strong sense of oppression as he walked towards me step by step.
With each step I took closer, my heart pounded harder and harder, as if I could hear it pounding against my chest.
Finally, he walked up to me, and without any mercy, grabbed my arms and legs and tied them tightly together.
Then, he picked me up like a chick and effortlessly tossed me onto the bed.
I was terrified and instinctively curled up into a ball.
His body was trembling uncontrollably.
"Qin Shisheng, what exactly are you trying to do?" I shouted these words almost as if crying, my voice filled with despair.
He gave a cold laugh.
"I want to chat with you! I don't want you to keep fidgeting!"
I pleaded desperately.
"Qin Shisheng, please let me go!"
"I'll let you go after we're done talking!"
As I looked down my fair cheeks, glistening tears streamed down my face, as poignant and beautiful as pear blossoms falling in the rain.
When he saw this, his heart suddenly ached, and he felt inexplicably sorry for her.
There is tenderness in his eyes.
I responded with a hateful look, my heart filled with deep disgust.
Qin Shisheng's eyes remained fixed on me, his gaze filled with nothing but my image.
I shouted angrily.
"Qin Shisheng, you can't control me forever!"
After he heard this,
His bright eyes instantly dimmed.
"I don't want to control you, but... have you forgotten what you promised me?"
I looked completely bewildered. "What?"
"You still owe me a child! Do you want me to bring Xiaohua back and make her work as a prostitute again?"
His words struck me like a heavy hammer blow.
It made me fall into deep thought.
He secretly wondered if his brother had a sum of money in his account, which was the money he received from selling the restaurant.
I turned to him and asked.
"How much money is needed to redeem her indenture? I'll give you this money."
"Not much, 1 million." As he said this, his defiant gaze shot straight at me.
"What? You're actually asking for a million?!" I stared at him wide-eyed when I heard that number.
"A lot? In my opinion, this amount is quite normal!" He looked completely unconcerned, his nonchalant attitude clearly indicating that he was certain I couldn't possibly come up with such a large sum of money.
After a moment of silence, I slowly opened my mouth and said, "I can only give you around 500,000 at most!"
"It's not that easy. If you want me to give in, you'll have to pay a price!" His words made people feel uncomfortable.
I asked, "Then... is it possible to pay in installments?"
Seeing my refusal, he grabbed my arm and growled in a low voice, his face full of displeasure.
"It's just asking you to have a child for me, is it really that difficult?"
"No, I'm already married, and I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore!" I forcefully shook off his hand, firmly stating my position.
"Haha, stop deceiving yourself. Your marriage is nothing but a name without substance! Do you really think you're Ye Suisui, the granddaughter of the Ye family?" He mocked mercilessly.
"What does it matter to you whether I am Ye Suisui or not! It is clearly you who used any means necessary to force me to be with you! I have never spent a single penny of your money, so you have no reason to speak to me so arrogantly!"
I glared at him, shouting at him as I tried to break free and create some distance between us.
However, instead of letting go, he gripped my hand even tighter, and then with a forceful pull, he drew me into his arms.
Those powerful arms made it impossible for me to move an inch.
"Didn't I buy you a house?"
I couldn't help but retort.
"The house? I can just give it back to you! I don't care about it at all!"
Faced with my resistance, he just smiled coldly, a smile that sent chills down my spine.
"No matter what, you have to give birth to my child! You promised me, and you have to keep your word!"
He parted his thin lips slightly, his tone full of sarcasm.
"I don't want to bring Xiaohua back. The Golden Red Gate doesn't need a woman like her."
"But I need children!"
My eyes were filled with incomprehension. "I'm already married! Jin Buwei and I love each other! I can't have your child!"
A smug smile appeared on his lips, as if everything was under his control.
"The Jin family is bankrupt now! While you're at it, see if the man you've chosen will abandon you for his career."
When I heard this news, I was completely stunned.
After regaining her composure, she asked in a trembling voice, "You...you're a madman! What did the Jin family do to offend you?"
Qin Shisheng said through gritted teeth, his eyes fierce and revealing a strong killing intent.
"He committed an unforgivable crime, daring to occupy you for three whole months! For that alone, he deserves to die! Making him bankrupt would be too lenient!"
He couldn't help but think to himself, "I wasn't even yours to begin with! How can you claim ownership?"
