Chapter 23: Selling Daughter

Su Guodong’s words made Su Mengli angry. “Dad, how could you do this? Your homelessness has nothing to do with me, right?”

Su Guodong justified himself, “Of course it does. It’s because of this kid that you refused to be with Xiaodong, right? If you had accepted my arrangement and stayed with Xiaodong, would I be homeless now?”

Su Mengli’s face turned pale with anger, and she pointed her finger at Su Guodong, unable to speak.

Ye Xuan also understood what was going on. He finally understood why, before his rebirth, Su Mengli had no contact with her parents after becoming an SSS-class Awakener.

Su Guodong’s request was indeed excessive, but in Ye Xuan’s opinion, it was worth it if it could solve the current troubles with a house.

Thinking about it, Ye Xuan asked, “Sis, what should we do in Mengli’s situation?”

Ye Xue glanced at her younger brother and said calmly, “The best solution is to sever his father-daughter relationship directly.”

Su Guodong angrily said, “She dares! I raised her all these years, and she wants to sever the relationship? No way!”

However, at this moment, Ye Xuan said, “I can’t give you this house, but I can offer you a different condition.”

Su Guodong asked, “What condition?”

Ye Xuan replied, “One million. I’ll give you one million, and you and Mengli sign a contract to sever his father-daughter relationship. From now on, you won’t have any involvement in her affairs.”

Su Guodong immediately refused, “No way!”

Ye Xuan paused and asked, “Why? Don’t you care about your daughter?”

Su Guodong slowly said, “I’ve spent so much money and effort raising my daughter. Do you know how much I’ve spent?”

Ye Xuan asked, “So what do you mean?”

Su Guodong slowly uttered three words, “You need to add money!”

Su Mengli listened to the conversation between Ye Xuan and her father, feeling both sad and relieved.

Ye Xuan looked at Su Guodong and said, “Two million.”

Su Guodong, pleased with the number, agreed, “Deal!”

A house in Jiangcheng usually cost just over a million. With two million, he could buy a house and a car, living a very decent life. Even if he didn’t bring Su Mengli back, Chen Lan would definitely be willing to live with him.

If Chen Lan refused, he could easily find another divorced woman his age. With two million, Su Guodong’s life would be completely different!

However, Su Mengli said, “Wait, two million is too high. Let’s make it one million five hundred thousand.”

Today, Su Guodong had essentially sold his daughter. Using money to buy the relationship between them, Su Mengli, as the one being sold, hoped for a lower price.

Su Guodong, angered by his daughter’s words, said, “Shut up! You’re a money-losing good, when did it become your turn to speak?”

Su Mengli smiled self-deprecatingly, “Money-losing good? Today, I’ve earned you a lot of money!”

Su Guodong immediately said, “Fine, two million, not a penny less!”

Su Mengli still had a smile on her face, but tears flowed from her eyes. She was already disappointed in her parents, but now she felt complete despair. It turned out that she could really be priced and sold!

Ye Xuan looked at Su Mengli, who was smiling and crying, feeling a bit uncomfortable, but at this moment, he could only do this.

Cutting the knot decisively would make things much simpler in the future. It’s better to endure short-term pain than long-term suffering.

Ye Xuan looked at Su Guodong and said, “Alright, I agree. It’s up to my sister to handle the rest. You should draft a contract for severing the relationship and ask Dad for the money.”

Ye Xue naturally wouldn’t lag behind. She had always loved her younger brother, and she also considered Su Mengli as her sister. She was happy to help Su Mengli solve some problems.

Therefore, Ye Xue went straight to her study, printed a contract for severing the relationship, and placed it in front of Su Guodong.

Then, Ye Xue said, “Take a look at this contract. Is there any problem?”

Su Guodong glanced at it and said, “You can do whatever you want with this contract. I just want to see the money.”

Ye Xue nodded and made a phone call to her father. “Hey, Dad, I need some money for something. Can you transfer two million to me?”

Ye Chengzong was a little surprised and asked, “Two million? Why do you suddenly need so much money?”

At this moment, it was obviously not the time to explain these things, so Ye Xue casually said, “It’s for the expenses of my law firm. I’ll pay you back in a few months.”

Ye Xue was different from Ye Xuan. She was already an adult and the boss of a law firm. She could have an equal conversation with Ye Chengzong, and Ye Chengzong wouldn’t refuse to lend her two million.

Ye Xuan, on the other hand, was different. He was still a middle school student. If he asked Ye Chengzong for two million, he would be scolded and refused.

That’s why Ye Xuan handed this matter over to his sister.

Sure enough, Ye Chengzong said, “Okay, I’ll transfer it to you right away.”

Not long after, the money arrived, and Ye Xue asked Su Guodong, “What’s your bank account number? I’ll transfer it to you now.”

Su Guodong was excited and happy, and he happily reported his bank account number.

Three minutes later, two million arrived, and Su Guodong happily signed his name and pressed his handprint on the contract for severing the relationship. The contract was made in triplicate, one for Su Mengli, one for Su Guodong, and one for Ye Xue as the intermediary.

This contract had legal effect. From now on, Su Mengli no longer had to call Su Guodong her father, and she had no obligation to support him. This two million bought it all!

Then, Su Guodong put away the contract with a smile on his face. “I never expected that in my lifetime, I would become a millionaire. From now on, my daughter, who I’ve raised for seventeen years, belongs to your Ye family. I have nothing to do with her anymore!”

After saying that, Su Guodong hurriedly left. Two million, he had to think about how to spend this money.

Su Mengli lowered her head, covering her eyes with her hands.

Ye Xue saw this and said, “Mengli, he’s not worth it. From now on, you have your sister with you. Don’t worry!”

Su Mengli didn’t answer, she just stood up and went back to her bedroom, closing the door.

Ye Xue saw this scene and wanted to go and comfort her, but Ye Xuan said, “Sis, let Mengli be alone for a while. She’ll figure it out.”

Ye Xue thought what Ye Xuan said made sense and nodded. “Okay, let’s go with what you said. It’s getting late. If you’re fine, go back.”

Ye Xuan sighed and got up to leave.
