"Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry. I watched you grow up, so how could I bear to see you living a miserable life, hiding here and there all these years, living like an ant? Are you content with that?"
"You could have lived a very wealthy life, but you insist on living a life of hardship. I really don't know what you've got in mind."
Zhu Qin wanted to offer some heartfelt advice to Zhu Yue, but unfortunately, Zhu Yue didn't give him the chance. Not only did she turn her head to the side, but she also spoke with unwavering determination.
"Stop with your act, I'm not going to believe you anymore!"
"Snap!"
With a crisp sound, the teacup in Zhu Qin's hand was crushed to pieces.
"Don't push me. This is the last time I'm warning you."
Zhu Yue stopped speaking, but her face was full of stubbornness.
A ruthless glint flashed in Zhu Qin's eyes, and then he said, word by word, "Since you refuse to listen to reason and are forced to drink the penalty cup, then I won't hide it anymore. That little bastard is sick now..."
Before Zhu Qin could finish speaking, Zhu Yue suddenly turned her head, her eyes widening in panic.
"What are you talking about? Is Xiao Jing sick? Why is she sick? How is the child now? Tell me!"
Seeing Zhu Yue's anxious state, Zhu Qin's lips curled into a cold smile.
It's too late to panic now.
That little bastard is Zhu Yue's weakness, and the ledger is his own weakness.
Neither the father nor the daughter was willing to give an inch, which is why they remained deadlocked.
Since that's the case, I'll let Zhu Yue experience excruciating pain. Perhaps only in this way can Zhu Yue give in.
Zhu Yue stared at Zhu Qin without moving, her eyes filled with pleading.
Zhu Qin glanced sideways at the people beside him, and they immediately understood his meaning and soon all withdrew.
At this moment, only Zhu Qin and Zhu Yue remained in the room.
"To tell you the truth, I don't know what's wrong with your child. He's not eating or drinking, and he's already lost several pounds. If this continues, he'll definitely be going to meet the King of Hell."
"I was thinking of killing that little bastard as soon as possible, but now I think it's not necessary at all. This ominous sign will soon disappear from my life, and my future will be smooth sailing."
"As for you, I think you know better than anyone what to do. As long as you hand over the ledger, I will hire the best doctor in the world to treat this little bastard, and then I will let you go."
Despair filled Zhu Yue's face, and her legs suddenly felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
Just a moment ago, Zhu Yue was thinking of crawling on her knees to Zhu Qin's feet to beg him to let Xiao Jing go, but now, Zhu Yue couldn't take a step.
Xiao Jing's health was not good to begin with, and she had never been separated from him for such a long time before. Although this was the place where he had lived since childhood, it was not the same for Xiao Jing.
The child must be terrified; she must be very worried about herself, which is why she won't eat or drink.
Or perhaps, the father used the same method to scare his child, which is why the child got sick...
Oh my god, what should I do?!
Zhu Yue was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do.
Seeing the hesitation on Zhu Yue's face, Zhu Qin felt a surge of joy.
Soon, it won't be long before Zhu Yue obediently hands over the ledger.
