Chapter 362: The child is his leverage against her _1
“Do you think that Su girl would lead a nameless and unrecognized life with you forever?” The old Ye looked at Ye Qilan with a complicated expression in his eyes.”
What he admired most was Ye Qilan’s cold ruthlessness.
As a strong person, one cannot have weaknesses or vulnerabilities, and Ye Qilan was precisely this kind of person.
That’s why he was so disappointed when Ye Qilan ran away from his wedding because of Su Hongxing.
But at this moment, he found this Ye Qilan terrifying.
If he could treat the mother of his own child with such cold-bloodedness, how much affection could Ye Qilan have for the Ye family?
“Since she is carrying my child, she should understand that because of that child, she has no choice but to be tied to me for her entire life. This is her fate, which she must accept!” Ye Qilan replied in a cold voice.
When he originally planned to have Su Hongxing bear his flesh and blood, it was precisely for this reason.
This time, old Ye was at a loss for words.
After a while, old Ye suggested tentatively, “Since you’re not interested in the Su girl, make your decision soon. In a few days, I’ll let you choose from some photos of girls. Whichever you fancy, start dating her. If all goes well, hold a wedding as soon as possible. What do you think?!”
Ye Qilan turned his gaze towards the horizon.
He didn’t have any interest in any woman, and he knew the old man wouldn’t be pleased with that answer.
“The day you get married, I’ll hand over control of the Ye family to you! Qilan, this is your last chance, I hope you can grasp it…”
Liu Qingyin was hiding nearby, eavesdropping. The more she listened, the angrier she got, thinking the Ye family members were all up to no good.
Knowing that the conversation between the father and son of the Ye family was almost over, she turned to leave, only to find that Su Hongxing had quietly appeared behind her. It seemed she had also heard the conversation between old Ye and Ye Qilan.
Liu Qingyin quickly pulled Su Hongxing away. When they were on their own, Liu Qingyin looked upset: “You heard it too, now Ye Qilan has a bargaining chip against you. Do you think, this child could be born…”
“Don’t say that, the baby will hear,” Su Hongxing interjected Liu Qingyin’s sentence.
She had heard the conversation between the Ye family elders too.
The purpose of this child was merely a bargaining chip for Ye Qilan to use against her.
Knowing this, yet still wanting to save the child, was equivalent to handing over her fate to Ye Qilan.
“Sis, why are you so foolish?” Liu Qingyin asked in a hoarse voice.
Without this child, at least Su Hongxing herself would still be free.
If the child is born, Su Hongxing will be shackled.
Between power and Su Hongxing, Ye Qilan will always choose the former, leaving Su Hongxing to be the one destined to be abandoned.
In the future, when Ye Qilan establishes a family and a career, with the Ye family as his backing, he will undoubtedly succeed.
At that time, with Ye Qilan in the limelight, Su Hongxing might still be Ye Qilan’s shadowy mistress.
“No one will take the child from me. That’s the end of it, don’t bring it up again.” With that, Su Hongxing walked away, leaning on the staircase.
Liu Qingyin watched Su Hongxing’s lonely figure retreating, feeling upset inside her heart.
As she was daydreaming, her familiar ringtone suddenly rang, causing her heart to start pounding.
She deliberately didn’t answer the phone, yet the person on the other end was very patient.
About half an hour later, the person was still calling. In the end, she lost to him again.
“Qingyin, if you don’t answer the phone, your big brother will come to find you personally. In these days without your brother, have you missed your brother?” The man’s voice was very gentle.
