13: Chapter 13 This is the Last Time 13: Chapter 13 This is the Last Time An Ruo was stunned for a moment, then asked tentatively, “Uncle, has something happened?”
“A big thing has happened!
It’s because you upset Mr.
Tang, he suddenly decided to terminate the contract with the An family today.
Canceling the cooperation at this time is like taking my life!
Ruoruo, for the sake of me providing for you and your brother for over a decade, can’t you make a compromise for your uncle just this once?”
An Ruo’s face turned pale, her hands resting on her knees trembled faintly.
It was ridiculous, she had thought her uncle truly cared about her, but it turned out there was a reason for everything.
In his eyes, nothing mattered more than the interests of the An family.
She and Xiao Ji were not his biological children, so he didn’t care about them at all.
He could completely use them to exchange for any benefit.
An Ruo felt a chill in her heart, wondering why her only elder was .
“Uncle, what exactly do I and Xiao Ji mean to you?”
An Mingqi opened his mouth but didn’t know how to respond.
An Ruo smiled miserably, “If I say I won’t compromise with Tang Yuchen, what will you do?”
Are you really not afraid that I will send Xiao Ji abroad?”
“Uncle, you’ve already sold me once and made me marry Tang Yuchen at your behest.
You’ve used me to get what you wanted and even received a bridal price of one hundred million.
I think everything I’ve done is enough to repay your kindness.
I don’t hope that even the last bit of family affection between us will vanish.”
An Mingqi’s sharp gaze fixed on her as he said coldly, “Are you saying that you don’t want to help me, is that it?”
“Uncle, don’t think about using Xiao Ji to threaten me.
If anything happens to Xiao Ji, I will make sure you gain nothing.
Don’t forget, I am now Tang Yuchen’s wife.
If I truly anger Tang Yuchen, do you think he will spare the An family?”
An Mingqi slammed the table in anger, “Ungrateful child, are you threatening me!”
An Ruo cast her eyes down and said indifferently, “I’m not threatening you, I’m just saying that everyone has their limits.
Uncle, using me once is enough, don’t think about using me again.”
“An Ruo, if the An family goes bankrupt, Xiao Ji will also end up homeless!”
An Ruo really wanted to say that would be for the best, she could use this opportunity to fight for custody of Xiao Ji.
But she wasn’t a cruel person; she couldn’t remain indifferent to her uncle’s family going bankrupt.
Indeed, over the years, her uncle had taken care of her, or else she and Xiao Ji would have been sent to an orphanage, living even more miserably and pitifully.
An Ruo stood up, took a deep breath, “I understand, I will try my best to persuade Tang Yuchen to continue the contract.
But uncle, this is the last time, truly the last time!”
When An Ruo returned to the villa, a servant told her that Tang Yuchen was swimming in the pool.
The castle was very large, with an indoor swimming pool as well.
Clothed in black swim trunks, Tang Yuchen moved through the water with the agility of a shark.
An Ruo stood on the edge for a while, until the man came out of the pool and deigned to shift his gaze toward her.
“I have something to talk to you about,” she said hastily.
Tang Yuchen took a towel from the servant, wiped his hair, and said indifferently, “I’m busy right now.”
“Just a few words.” An Ruo stood in front of him and asked directly, “What do I have to do for you to continue the cooperation with the An family?”
She knew, he was canceling the cooperation just to pressure her.
“If I have offended you in any way, I can apologize to you, and I can accept your punishment.”
