Mengyu had always thought that she was adopted by Li Chunhua because she didn’t have children after three years of marriage and brought her home to “raise” a younger sibling.
Because she had once heard them telling others that she was a child abandoned by her parents, and they had saved and brought her home. In rural areas, there is a saying that some couples who cannot have children of their own, but if they adopt a child, and this child has siblings, they would bring them along.
Therefore, childless couples often have their own children after adopting a child.
However, Mengyu had never imagined that Li Chunhua had not picked her up, but instead obtained her custody through a transaction with her biological father.
In her previous life, after acknowledging her biological mother, she learned her biological father’s name was Lin Hai.
Was she actually sold by her biological father?
Oh my God, how unlucky she must be, not only disfavored by her adoptive parents but also disliked by her biological father!
“No!” Jiang Haidong firmly refused.
With such terms, wasn’t he handing over the handle of the knife to this woman while holding the blade himself, bleeding the moment she moved?
But Leng Xiangyu’s tone was non-negotiable: “This condition is also firm, if you don’t agree, I’ll go directly to court. Oh, I forgot to tell you, the sales agreement you wrote back then is now in my hands. Here, this one. If it goes to court, I won’t spend a cent to take my daughter away, and you, hmph, just wait to land yourselves in jail!”
“Criminal Law Article 241 stipulates: Trafficking in women and children will be punished with imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years and a fine, and those who buy trafficked women or children will be sentenced up to three years of imprisonment. So, buying or trafficking, both are crimes and the penalty is imprisonment!”
Hearing that buying a child could lead to imprisonment, Li Chunhua suddenly panicked.
Because buying Leng Xiangyu’s child had been her idea.
Jiang Haidong realized this was to avoid them bothering her daughter in the future, hence she decisively wanted to leverage this power.
Knowing that he was being handed the blade to hold, how could he sign it?
But if he didn’t sign, she would immediately file a lawsuit. Most importantly, the agreement they had originally demanded to ensure security, had now become the evidence of their trafficking.
He sighed and waved his hand in resignation: “Just sign it.”
Leng Xiangyu took out the agreement she had prepared in advance, and both Jiang Haidong and Li Chunhua signed it, even pressing their bright red fingerprints.
Li Chunhua couldn’t wait to speak: “We’ve signed the agreement, now can you give us the twenty thousand yuan compensation?”
Twenty thousand, she had long heard about the grandeur of being a millionaire, and now she was about to become one.
Leng Xiangyu looked at Li Chunhua as if she were an idiot: “When you transacted with my husband back then, it must have been cash on delivery, right? Now, I haven’t even seen my daughter, and you want me to pay the compensation?”
Li Chunhua was not happy.
“But my daughter, ah no, your daughter Jiang Mengyu has been admitted to the Beijing normal university, and is currently studying there. How can she come back now?”
Outside, Mengyu secretly thought as expected, they planned to give their daughter Jiang Huaiyu to their biological mother just like in her previous life.
You need to know, the current person studying in Beijing university under her name, Jiang Mengyu, is actually Jiang Huaiyu!
Leng Xiangyu stared at Li Chunhua: “Is my daughter really studying at the normal university in Beijing?”
Leng Xiangyu was puzzled, had her daughter really been admitted to university? Just yesterday, she had seen her daughter, clearly in the military compound.
There must be something strange here.
What she didn’t know was that her daughter had indeed been admitted to university, but the spot was occupied by this woman’s daughter, Jiang Huaiyu, who was now still planning to push Jiang Huaiyu onto her, aiming to let her own daughter enjoy wealth and prestige!
