Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 575 - 568: Worth the Price
The words of Bai Yiran caused a flicker of emotion to pass through Xia Lian’s otherwise ashen face.
Does Yiran still care about her? Shouldn’t she hate her, shouldn’t she wish her dead?
Upon hearing Bai Yiran’s words, Mrs. Xia paused her hand in mid-slap, feeling a tingling from having hit too hard just moments ago.
"What? I can’t even hit my own daughter?"
Although she still shouted defiantly, Mrs. Xia ultimately did not raise her hand again against Xia Lian.
Bai Yiran stared at Mrs. Xia, her gaze causing Mrs. Xia to feel uneasy, "What are you looking at me for?"
Bai Yiran smiled, "I don’t care if you hit your daughter, but you can’t hit the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family!"
The Xia family was momentarily stunned, sensing a possible turn in the situation from Bai Yiran’s words.
"What do you mean the Cheng family’s daughter-in-law, aren’t they going to divorce Xia Lian!" Father Xia spoke. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Have they divorced? They are still legally married!" Bai Yiran sneered.
"Legally married? Legally married yet that grandson Cheng Gang still cheated during the marriage!" Xia Lian’s brother shouted, still pinned to the ground.
Bai Yiran’s eyes turned cold, and Li Sha’s hand once more punished, causing Xia Lian’s brother to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
The Xia family parents could no longer bear their son’s suffering and quickly expressed their willingness to negotiate with Bai Yiran.
Only then did Bai Yiran nod at Li Sha, signaling her to let Xia Lian’s brother go.
Supported by other members of the Xia family, Xia Lian’s brother stood up, still glaring venomously at Bai Yiran, but no longer daring to approach her. The square-faced woman by her side was too ruthless, almost breaking his arm.
In truth, Li Sha hadn’t used excessive force, otherwise, Xia Lian’s brother’s arm would have surely been broken.
"Alright, the matter is finally back on track." Bai Yiran then took a sip of the water brought in by the secretary earlier, setting the glass down, "Speak up, today you came making a fuss for some accountability. Now, clearly state what kind of accountability you’re seeking?"
Upon hearing Bai Yiran’s words, the Xia family felt there was hope and began to speak, "Cheng Gang wants to divorce my daughter. At first, we thought it was because of the issue with our mother-in-law that Cheng Gang couldn’t get along with Xia Lian. We didn’t expect that he had a woman outside and now he’s using the issue caused by our mother-in-law to divorce Xia Lian! Poor my daughter, she even slit her wrists for that heartless man, lucky we found her in time, otherwise, she would have died!"
Bai Yiran’s expression darkened slightly, and she retorted, "So?"
"So, Cheng Gang can divorce her, but we demand compensation for emotional distress, a breakup fee, and future alimony for Xia Lian, totaling fifty million!"
"Fifty million?" Bai Yiran almost laughed out loud, "You overestimate my uncle too much. Aunt would know best how much money he has. Forget fifty million, he probably doesn’t even have five million!"
The Xia family clearly didn’t believe Bai Yiran’s statement, "Nonsense! Isn’t Cheng Gang a vice president? How could he not have fifty million? Besides, if Cheng Gang doesn’t have it, you, Bai Yiran, do! Since you’re standing up for your uncle today, you should also take care of this money! After all, we have evidence of his adultery. If you don’t pay up, we’ll expose everything, and Cheng Gang will have no face to show in public again! We are just ordinary people and don’t fear losing face. But does Cheng Gang still want his vice president position, and do you still care for your reputation as the president’s wife?"
Bai Yiran’s eyebrows slightly raised, a fierce glint in her eyes. She knew, in the end, the Xia family’s goal was money.
"Money is not the issue; the most important thing is my uncle’s reputation." Bai Yiran paused and looked at the Xia family, "However, you keep claiming to have evidence of my uncle’s infidelity. Isn’t it reasonable for me to ask to see this evidence now? After all, I’m offering real money, and it should be worth its value."
