Chapter 545: Chapter 519: Going Against the Routine
“Is it you?”
In his anxious state, Chen Lin saw a person walking in, and upon closer inspection, it was Yu Minglang.
This handsome and elegant young man left a deep impression on Chen Lin. Part of the reason he didn’t dare to mess with Jia Xiufang before was also related to Yu Minglang.
After the divorce case between Jia Xiufang and Chen Lin ended, Yu Minglang appeared at the entrance of the court and broke a brick with his bare hands, successfully scaring Chen Lin.
Chen Lin only knew that Xiao Qian had a powerful boyfriend but didn’t expect the boyfriend to be so intimidating. As soon as he saw Yu Minglang, his heart skipped a beat.
Yu Minglang walked in with a dignified aura, pulled out a chair, and sat down grandly opposite Chen Lin. With just a glance, Chen Lin’s heart raced in fear.
The last time he met Yu Minglang, he hadn’t unleashed his aura as openly as he did now. In this limited space, Chen Lin felt extremely uneasy.
Yu Minglang didn’t speak but simply stared at Chen Lin with sharp eyes, making Chen Lin break out in cold sweat.
“Where’s Xiufang? I want to see Xiufang! Or… you can call Xiao Qian over as well.” Feeling frightened by Yu Minglang’s stare, Chen Lin felt like Yu Minglang’s aura could suffocate him, so he hurriedly put forward his request while he could still speak.
He’d rather face Jia Xiufang and Xiao Qian than the fierce Yu Minglang. Under Yu Minglang’s sharp gaze, he felt like he’d already died several times over.
“Xiao Qian? Who is Xiao Qian?” Yu Minglang casually unfolded his legs, his movements slow yet incredibly oppressive. A chilling sense of cold surrounded him, especially when he heard Trash Dad mention the name of his beloved woman, the coldness became even stronger.
“She’s my daughter… She is…” Chen Lin couldn’t finish speaking because the previously expressionless Yu Minglang suddenly laughed.
However, this laughter was chilling and made people feel even more frightened than when he wasn’t smiling.
“Daughter?” Yu Minglang asked sarcastically, “In your heart, have you ever treated her as your daughter? Even if it was just a tiny bit of fatherly love, have you ever given her that?”
Chen Lin was so frightened by Yu Minglang that he didn’t dare to speak. He still vividly remembered Yu Minglang’s brick-breaking action last time, fearing that if he said something wrong, he’d be treated like a brick and be smashed.
“Although there are quite a few people who prefer sons over daughters, what you’ve done to her is not just as simple as preferring sons over daughters. I really doubt whether you are her biological father, because finding such a trash father is not easy. Livestock can show affection for its offspring; do you have that?”
“I, I am her real father!” Chen Lin’s eyes avoided Yu Minglang’s gaze, not daring to answer directly. He was afraid that if he didn’t emphasize this, Yu Minglang would kill him.
“Heh, I really couldn’t tell. I’ve seen many bad guys, among them some truly evil people. But even when dealing with their own family members, especially their children, they still have a touch of remorse. Unlike you, who hid your child’s Admission Notice and then tried to marry her off to a scumbag. Now you’ve made such a mess, and as a father, this is the first time I’ve seen someone like you.”
Yu Minglang was blunt with Chen Lin, his attitude towards the people around Xiao Qian was very simple.
Whoever was good to his woman, he would be good to them. Whoever bullied Xiao Qian, he would deal with them, even if it was her biological father!
“I was wrong! Please give me a way out, please!”
Under the powerful deterrence of Yu Minglang, Chen Lin’s last shred of mental resolve crumbled, and his knees went weak as he tried to kneel. Yu Minglang stretched out his leg just in time to block him from kneeling.
“You say you’re pitiful, but the things you’ve done are not pitiful at all. So what do you plan to do?”
“What to do…” Chen Lin was stunned. Yu Minglang pulled out the baton from his waist and casually swung it around in the room a few times, demonstrating his skill with the weapon to Chen Lin.
Yu Minglang was so proficient with the baton that he could perform tricks with it. Hearing the sound of the baton cutting through the air, Chen Lin couldn’t imagine what it would feel like if it hit him, and his teeth chattered in fear.
“What do you want? I, I won’t bother mother and daughter ever again! Please let me go, for Xiao Qian’s sake, I really love my daughter.”
“Oh? Deep father-daughter bond?” Yu Minglang stopped playing with the baton, using it to lean against Chen Lin’s shoulder. He didn’t use any force, but it still made Chen Lin feel an overwhelming sense of pressure.
“Yes, yes, yes! I have a deep bond with her, she’s my daughter. I care about her so much. Please don’t make things difficult for me for her sake.”
“Since you have such deep feelings, will you pay back the 30,000 yuan she owes me?” Yu Minglang asked deliberately.
“…Money?! Aren’t you two a couple?” Chen Lin didn’t understand Yu Minglang’s tactics.
“We were a couple before, but not anymore. She took 30,000 yuan from me to go to school, and since you claim to have a good relationship with her, you should return the debt on her behalf.”
“But I don’t have any money…”
“My elder brother is a businessman. You can work for him for two years for free, pay off the debt in two years, and we’ll provide food and shelter but no cash. How about that?”
“This…”
Chen Lin hesitated.
He wondered why there were so many people involved, and it turned out they weren’t trying to help Jia Xiufang but evil Chen Xiaoqian who had caused trouble outside. This man was here to collect a debt!
Chen Lin wanted to scam Xiao Qian, but Yu Minglang had a counter-tactic for him!
“Think clearly. Work for free for two years, and I won’t trouble you or her anymore. Otherwise…”
Chen Lin was unwilling to work for free for two years as Yu Minglang said. Although he was provided with food and shelter, it would be just like going to prison, and they wouldn’t give him any money!
Besides, why should he pay such a high price for Wild Child Chen Xiaoqian?
Yu Minglang was waiting for Chen Lin’s answer. This answer directly affected Chen Lin’s fate and was the last chance Yu Minglang gave Chen Lin.
However, Chen Lin didn’t seize this opportunity. Instead, he saw him smiling and smiling at Yu Minglang, his eyes dodging and bowing his head, speaking ambiguously.
“I have a better idea, I assure you. I can get the money back, and it won’t take as long as two years.”
“Oh?” Yu Minglang narrowed his eyes.
“I have a friend who’s a supervisor at Night Shanghai. I can send that girl over there. She’s beautiful, as you know. It won’t take long for her to pay off the debt!”
Yu Minglang’s gaze could kill; Chen Lin didn’t see the fury on Yu Minglang’s face and continued to talk about his plan, which he thought was a good solution.
“We can do this, we can send Chen Xiaoqian in and let her mom get the money. Her mom has money now, and if she wants to save her daughter, she’ll definitely be willing to pay. Even if she doesn’t, it doesn’t matter. Qian’er is so beautiful that many big bosses are willing to keep her. It’s just a matter of ten days or half a month for 30,000 yuan, right? If karaoke doesn’t work, there’s still the bathhouse. Then…”
“Bang!”
Chen Lin couldn’t say any more, as Yu Minglang’s baton shattered one of his glass windows.
“You don’t deserve to be her father.” Yu Minglang was both angry and relieved.
He made the right choice by not letting Qian Bao in. Chen Lin’s hideous face should not be seen by his baby. He didn’t want her heart to be scarred again.
So be it; he would play the villain for her.
