9: Chapter 9: Reduced to a Childbearing Money-making Tool 9: Chapter 9: Reduced to a Childbearing Money-making Tool Yan Family.
Yan Hong paced back and forth in the room, anxious.
I’ve already accepted the betrothal gifts from the Mu Family, and that money could just solve the group’s economic crisis!
Now that Qianyi is missing, the betrothal gifts have to be returned!”
Han Yarong consoled him, “Husband, don’t worry.
Not only will we not return a single cent of the Mu Family’s betrothal gifts, but we will also demand compensation.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Hong stopped in his tracks, “What do you mean?”
Han Yarong slowly put down her teacup and stepped forward to take Yan Hong’s arm.
We handed her over to the Mu Family in good condition, and she was in the Mu Family’s car on the way to their place.
Something happened while she was on the way there.
Now that she’s missing, how can the Mu Family not give us an explanation?”
Yan Hong’s eyes lit up, and the frown on his face immediately relaxed, “That makes sense, that makes sense!
You’re the clever one.”
With me by your side, everything will only get better and better.
Look, now the corporation’s financial crisis has been resolved too.”
Marrying off Yan Qianyi had also been Han Yarong’s idea.
After praising Han Yarong a bit more, Yan Hong then said, “I’ll go make a call to check with the police if there is any news about Qianyi’s whereabouts.”
Seeing Yan Hong heading upstairs to the study to make the call, Yan Ruyi was somewhat displeased.
“Mom, Dad still cares a lot about Yan Qianyi.”
“Silly child, why are you jealous for nothing?
Yan Qianyi is missing, and his first concern is that the Mu Family will ask for the betrothal gifts back.
I think he has long since stopped caring about that daughter.
Now, he’s just putting on a show, after all, she’s his biological daughter, and he can’t seem too heartless, can he?”
“But, Mom, do you really not want to find Yan Qianyi?” Yan Ruyi said with a worried look on her face, “Once she’s not injected with the drug, she will wake up, and if she comes back on her own…”
“Rest assured,” Han Yarong interrupted her daughter’s words, “Unless the police find her and rescue her, even if she wakes up, she will never be able to return in this lifetime.
Taken away by those criminals, she’ll only end up as a tool for making money through bearing children; she won’t be able to come back, even if she dies.”
“But what about my elder brother?
If he uses his connections, finding a person who has been kidnapped shouldn’t be too difficult, should it?”
Han Yarong scoffed disdainfully, “Do you think those criminals are easy to deal with?
Finding a person isn’t that easy.
Besides, your elder brother isn’t part of our Interstellar Federation anymore.
His reach is too short, and he can’t extend his hand this far.”
“That’s true,” Yan Ruyi nodded.
“Ruyi, now not only are your father and Qu Yang yours alone, but even your elder brother has no one to compete with you for them.
You must cherish this, our better days are still ahead of us, just you and me.”
While Han Yarong was happily contemplating the future, suddenly, a commotion came from downstairs.
The mother and daughter went downstairs.
At this moment, outside was covered with dark clouds, making inside the house somewhat dim.
The servants were all crowded in the living room, with a girl in a wedding dress standing in the middle.
It was hard to make out the girl’s face in the dim light.
Suddenly, a clap of thunder exploded.
Accompanied by a blinding flash of lightning, it lit up the pale face of Yan Qianyi.
Han Yarong trembled and screamed in horror, “A ghost!”
Yan Ruyi, also looking panicked, quickly steadied Han Yarong, who nearly fell.
Han Yarong’s cry of alarm frightened the servants even more; they all thought they had seen a ghost.
