Upon hearing Chen Huahua’s words, Chu Qing finally understood the reason behind her financial struggles. Despite working as an information broker, she lived in a run-down place and appeared to be lacking money. It was clear now that her father had been extorting significant sums from her, leaving her in a constant state of financial strain.

Indeed, it was a truly overwhelming situation. After Chen Huahua expressed the challenges she had been facing, she completely dropped her defenses and opened up to Chu Qing, weeping uncontrollably. At that moment, she lost the grace and composure that once defined her as a woman in this world.

Chu Qing’s heart filled with pain as he realized the hardships Chen Huahua had endured all those years. He embraced her tightly, pulling her into his arms, and gently stroked her back, offering solace and comfort. His shoulder became damp with her tears as Chen Huahua’s cries gradually subsided, finding solace in his embrace.

“Do you still want to acknowledge him as your father?” Chu Qing held Chen Huahua’s shoulder and looked straight at her.

There had to be an end to this matter. A moment of weakness was harmless, but it was impossible to avoid it forever.

There was a struggle in Chen Huahua’s eyes. From this, it could be seen that her heart was definitely not calm. After a long while, she did not answer Chu Qing’s question. Instead, she asked another question. “Will you leave me behind?”

“No, unless you don’t want me anymore,” Chu Qing replied. He could roughly guess why Chen Huahua asked this. Her father was her last family. Chen Huahua didn’t want to live alone, so no matter how overboard her father was, she tolerated him again and again.

“Alright, I won’t give him another cent.” Chen Huahua’s eyes were filled with determination. In her opinion, as long as she didn’t give her father a single cent, he wouldn’t pester her anymore when he lost his patience.

However, Chu Qing’s intentions were far from that. Knowing Chen Huahua’s intentions, Chu Qing said in a low voice, “Alright, leave this to me. You don’t have to interfere.”

After saying that, Chu Qing let Chen Huahua stay in the room alone and turned to leave. As expected, her father’s ear was pressed against the door to eavesdrop. When Chu Qing opened the door, he almost fell into the room.

However, Chu Qing was certain that he did not listen to a single word. The door to the room closed again. Father Chen stared behind Chu Qing and asked, “Where’s Huahua?”

“She doesn’t want to see you. I’ll talk to you now.” Chu Qing’s attitude was firm. He didn’t have a good impression of people who sold their daughters.

“No, I want to talk to her.” The father didn’t think he could get a single cent from Chu Qing. He had already learned from his daughter that Chu Qing was a poor student.

“Don’t you think you’ve hurt her enough? Do you have to force her to a dead end before you’re satisfied? I’m asking on her behalf—is she your biological daughter?”

Chu Qing’s harsh words struck a sensitive nerve in Chen Huahua’s father. The veins on his forehead pulsated visibly as he struggled to control his emotions. After a brief moment of silence, he spoke with a resolute tone, saying, “There’s nothing left for us to discuss. Give me three million yuan, and I’ll leave immediately. If you refuse, I’ll take Huahua with me. Don’t say another word.” “Do you think I’m willing to say more?” Chu Qing looked at him in disdain and said, “Three million yuan is possible, but I want you to sever your father-daughter relationship with Huahua and not harass her again in the future. Can you do that?”

“What? You have three million?” Hearing Chu Qing’s words, the father’s eyes glinted.

Chu Qing didn’t say anything. The father calmed down and accepted the fact that Chu Qing had three million yuan. He couldn’t help but look at Chu Qing a few more times before saying, “Sure, I’ll stop harass—looking for her. But only if you give me five million yuan.”

He almost admitted that he had harassed his daughter, but he quickly changed his words.

“Sure.” Chu Qing agreed straightforwardly. “Write a severance letter now. I’ll give you money when you’re done.”

The father went back on his word again. “I won’t write it. I’ll just stop looking for her.” He had already treated Chu Qing as a new money tree. How could he cut off this connection?

Chu Qing was not surprised by this. He only said slowly, “As far as I know, even if you sell Huahua to a rich man, you definitely won’t get so much money. Moreover, if anything happens to Huahua, you won’t dare to say a word. Therefore, I think my conditions are good enough. I’ll give you time to consider. After today, I won’t give you a single cent.”

Chu Qing’s cold words made him panic. In less than a minute, he went to find a pen and paper because Chu Qing was right. Even if he sold Huahua for a good price, he could not earn five million yuan.

While he was writing the severance letter, Chu Qing walked to the window and called Zhai Yu. It couldn’t be helped. Where could he find five million yuan right away? He had almost spent the money he earned last time.

Chu Qing borrowed money from Zhai Yu. Without a word, Zhai Yu transferred five million yuan to Chu Qing. He was so rich that he didn’t even ask when Chu Qing would return the money. Chu Qing held his phone and was a little stunned for a moment. However, he remembered this favor in his heart..
