Purchase Custody With Money

"Wan Wan, did I ever abuse you?"

The group became silent because of Chu Tianyi's question. Everyone fixed their eyes on Wan Wan and waited for her to answer.

Wan Wan shook her head vigorously, her tears were falling like beads from a broken necklace. She could not talk as her throat was stuffed.

Upset to see her like that, He Yi comforted her gently, "Wan Wan, don't be afraid. Tell me, who bullied you? Also, what happened that time you were chased out of the booth and starved?"

Wan Wan would clarify definitely whenever He Yi asked her whether Chu Tianyi abused her and she would never admit that her father abused her. It was clear that Wan Wan had a deep relationship with Chu Tianyi and she would not allow anyone to talk bad about him in front of her.

That acknowledgment was shocking to He Yi. She realized that psychological kidnapping was so much more dangerous than physical abuse.

Sharp-minded He Yi noticed the problem and decided to use the same method she used to fix Wei Jiameng on Wan Wan to remind her that the true bully and abuser was Chu Tianyi. The process might be cruel but she had to do it for her own good as that was the only way for Wan Wan to see Chu Tianyi in his true colors and detach from him.

Everyone was still fixing their eyes on Wan Wan. The neglected girl's tiny shoulders shook when she answered timidly with her head low, "Yang Yang splashed soup on the teddy bear daddy gave me on my birthday."

Chu Tianyi was slightly shaken. He stared at Wan Wan and said, "That's why you scratched him with a fork."

"I didn't!" Feeling extremely wronged, Wan Wan pouted. "He was going to scratch my face with a fork. I pushed him away and the fork hurt him instead!"

That was what actually happened!

That was the truth behind the incident of Wan Wan hitting Yang Yang!

He Yi's eyes were red and her heart was filled with tears, it was so painful that she could not breathe. "Poor Wan Wan! Everyone bullying you because you don't have a mom!"

"Shut your mouth!" Chu Tianyi stopped her angrily, "Stop making up nonsense!"

Ji Xueshan maintained her identity as an outsider and spectated despite the heated clamor. People would look at her occasionally but no one took her seriously because they thought that she was He Yi's friend.

The pros of He Yi's decision of choosing a young, pretty woman to be her bodyguard were clear at the moment. Beautiful Ji Xueshan looked like a friend and a secretary beside He Yi so it was good for camouflage and convenience. If He Yi chose a large man to be her bodyguard instead, she would easily be targetted by the Chu family by undermining her image and status in Wan Wan's eyes with false allegations, the convenience issue aside.

"Making up nonsense? Is Wan Wan making things up too, then? He Yi glared at Chu Tianyi and questioned him directly, "Wan Wan cried again today! Do you know how miserable she is? You never cared about her feelings and you don't even feel sorry for her! Why can't you return her to me if that's the case? Please return her custody to me!"

Everything that happened was too sudden. He Yi guessed that the Chu family had not find out about the continuance of the hotel tenancy yet so she adjusted her plan and decided to disclose the news by herself.

She knew that she could not hide about it forever even if she wanted to. She would rather take the initiative to disclose it herself and be a step ahead.

Chu Tianyi's nostrils flared as he lost control over his anger. Ignoring He Yi's questioning, he turned to Wan Wan and asked in a calmer tone, "What upset you today?"

Wan Wan pinched her tiny fingers nervously as that was the first time she felt heard. Her father was finally willing to listen to her wrongs and explanation! She got all those because He Yi fought for it for her. She hesitated for a moment before answering meekly, "Ke Ke said that I am the bastard child of a b*tch. Daddy, is my mother a b*tch?"

　　"..."

　　"..."

Chu Tianyi looked up. His cold gaze went past He Yi to Su Anqi.

Su Anqi was quaking with fear. However, Chu Piaoyun interrupted before she could explain herself, "That's enough! She became this fussy just because of another kid's words, she indeed has an attitude! Wan Wan, now that you know that, you are not allowed to bring her up after this!"

Wan Wan was tearing up again as she sobbed silently. She was afraid to oppose Chu Piaoyun as she was always strict and serious in her memory, not to mention she always looked at her with disgust and displeasure. She also noticed that her father had always been distracting her so that she would appear in front of Chu Piaoyun less.

He Yi burst out in laughter due to overwhelming anger. Ignoring Chu Piaoyun and Su Anqi, she turned to Chu Tianyi, "Wan Wan's mother is a b*tch and she is a bastard child? Just let me take her if all of you can't accept her! I'll give you money as long as you let me take her! I'll give you all my money!"

Chu Tianyi's brows were tied in a knot and he sneered, "Money? What money?"

He Yi had been waiting for this. She took a deep breath and declared, "My father left me this hotel in his estate! I just signed a five-year continuing contract with Mister Chen, and all the rent you took in the previous years, I don't want them anymore! There are 41 million in total, I'll give you all of them! All I want is Wan Wan, do we have a deal?"

Not only Chu Tianyi was surprised with He Yi's words, but even Chu Pianyi's expression also changed drastically. On the other hand, Su Anqi jumped from her seat.

"What?" On the verge of exploding, Su Anqi stuttered from anger, "How dare you sign a continuing contract with Mister Chen by yourself! Who gave you the right to do that? Goodness, you do have guts for doing something as shameless as that! Tianyi, Aunt, did you hear that? She signed a continuing contract with Mister Chen by herself and took the rent…"

He Yi watched as Su Anqi jumped with anger and waited till she paused to breathe when she interrupted coldly, "This hotel is my property even prior to my marriage so it belongs to me completely! My contract with Mister Chen is legal, valid, and enforceable! What's the problem with that?"

Chu Tianyi's eyes became even gloomier, his constricted irises glaring at He Yi like needles. He noticed that she was different! Time really does change everything, it even transformed a pampered girl born in the purple into a calculative common woman.

He Yi returned Chu Tianyi's gaze confidently and continued coldly, "I am willing to give the rent to you in exchange for Wan Wan, you can even keep the rent of 26 million in the five years, I just want Wan Wan back!" Without waiting for Chu Tianyi's answer, she turned to Wan Wan and asked gently, "Wan Wan, I'm going to exchange 41 million bucks for your custody, is that alright?"
