"I know, but when you see the big gift I have prepared for you, you’ll understand."
"What exactly have you planned?" An Ruo asked curiously, "Tell me now, why wait until then?"
"Talking about it now would spoil the fun, there’s no hurry; it’s more interesting one step at a time. Baby, I’ve come up with a plan for you to take your revenge, shouldn’t you give me some reward?"
"Mhm." His deep eyes stared at her lips, the implication clear.
An Ruo retorted angrily, "I don’t even know what your plan is, and you’re talking about a reward! That’s not how things work!"
"But I like to ask for a reward first, otherwise you can make an advance payment, and pay the rest later. Give it to me now."
At this stage, An Xin had no choice. She had to tell the truth to her family and have them think of a solution together.
Upon hearing this, Xu Huwen declared righteously, "Why should Tang Yuchen side with An Ruo and not with you? That wretched woman has been married for so long and there’s not even a hint of a baby bump! Why is he still helping her? Daughter, don’t be afraid, I firmly believe Tang Yuchen will take your side."
An Mingqi scolded her for her antics, but since the deed was already done, he could only blame her for her incompetence.
"Why didn’t you make sure she was dead before you left? Now look what has happened, she miraculously survived, and you are in big trouble!"
An Xin said with a grievance, "Falling from such a height, I thought she was undoubtedly dead. Even if she survived, she would only have half a life left, and if no one discovered her for a few days, she would have died on her own. Who knew she would be so lucky to be found the next day."
"A wretched person stays wretched, still alive after all that." Xu Huwen spat disdainfully.
"Dad, Mom. Now is not the time to discuss whether she is dead or not. The problem is, An Ruo has given me only three days to surrender myself. If I don’t, Tang Yuchen definitely won’t let me go," An Xin worried.
Thinking of this, Xu Huwen and An Mingqi suddenly looked apprehensive.
The former grabbed her hand, comforting her, "Baby, don’t be afraid. Tomorrow your dad and I will go plead with Tang Yuchen. Even if not for you, he should consider it for the child in your womb. After all, it’s Tang Yuchen’s child; he can’t let it be born in jail."
An Mingqi nodded, "Your mom is right, Tang Yuchen won’t ignore the child you’re carrying. Thank goodness you’re pregnant with his child, otherwise we really wouldn’t have any solutions. Tomorrow I will also try to plead with An Ruo. She’s easy to talk to, I believe she will drop the lawsuit. Worst case, we just have to pay her a bit more money, as long as she stops pursuing this matter."
"Husband, don’t you know a few government officials? Invite them out for a meal tomorrow; let them help us with what they can," Xu Huwen suggested.
An Mingqi nodded heavily, "I know."
An Xin really wanted to say, An Ruo was not that easy to talk to anymore. She had begged her, but An Ruo was unmoved; she was determined to see her behind bars.
Besides, Tang Yuchen was very wealthy. An Ruo married him, so was she ever short of money?
