"You know why I’m here today, right?" Shen Huiran got straight to the point, "Do you have anything to say in your defense?"
"I don’t understand what you mean." Qian Lan Ya certainly wouldn’t admit to anything. If she did, wouldn’t she be going to jail?
"Why are you pretending with us? Back then, you deliberately caused my wife to give birth early, and took the opportunity to swap the name tags of the two children when I wasn’t home, right?" Although he also liked his daughter Ye Xingyan very much, Ye Bai was extremely angry with Qian Lan Ya. If it weren’t for her selfishness, how would his daughter have ended up wandering outside for so many years?
"You’re slandering me." Qian Lan Ya argued. So much time had passed; she didn’t believe there could still be evidence.
"Do you think we have no evidence? The medical records from that year clearly stated both your situations. And the pharmacy owner still remembers you because you were clutching your stomach when you bought the medicine." Ye Bai said coldly, looking at Qian Lan Ya with hatred in his eyes.
Qian Lan Ya was at a loss for words, but she quickly realized, if Ye Bai and Shen Huiran wanted to call the police, they would have done so already. Why come in person unless they had another motive?
"What do you want?" She asked without the slightest fear.
"We want to bring our daughter back, and we also want to keep Xingyan." Shen Huiran said, looking upset.
Qian Lan Ya suddenly understood. So that’s why they didn’t call the police; they couldn’t bear to part with their daughter.
She wanted to laugh up to the sky. Knowing full well that she switched their daughter, knowing she was their enemy, yet they still couldn’t bear to part with their enemy’s daughter. This showed just how excellently their daughter had been raised by them.
Didn’t Shen Huiran feel awkward after learning the truth? She must have been heartbroken for a long time!
"No way, that’s my daughter, how can you keep her with you?" Qian Lan Ya rolled her eyes and refused.
Shen Huiran’s face darkened further, gritting her teeth, "Don’t be too much. Xingyan has been pampered and raised by us, has never suffered hardship since she was young. What good days can she have with you? Living in a dark, cramped house without a sense of security? What can you give her?"
"I’m her biological mother; how can she dislike me?" Qian Lan Ya said indifferently.
"Don’t forget, as soon as we report this to the police, you’ll be imprisoned, and by the time you get out, Xingyan will be an adult and still won’t live with you." Ye Bai threatened.
"Then go report it to the police. Aren’t you afraid that after having one parent in jail, Xingyan will have another one? Can you bear to ruin the daughter you’ve carefully nurtured for fifteen years?" Qian Lan Ya was like a rogue, cornering Ye Bai and Shen Huiran.
"What do you really want?" Shen Huiran suppressed her anger.
Qian Lan Ya looked at Zhao Yao, who was still in shock and hadn’t recovered, and said, "I’ve raised your daughter for fifteen years, isn’t it fair to ask you for some support money? And my biological daughter should also show filial respect to you two, so shouldn’t you give me some compensation?"
Seeing her so blatantly demanding money, Shen Huiran was stunned, "Lanya, when did you become like this?"
Qian Lan Ya was impatient hearing this. Wasn’t her becoming like this because Shen Huiran stood by and did nothing before? Now pretending to be some pure lily?
Ye Bai, however, was more straightforward, "How much do you want?" he asked impatiently.
Hearing this, Qian Lan Ya lowered her head to think. After all, this incident wasn’t part of her initial plan.
"One million, and you’re never to see Xingyan again." Seeing that she hesitated to answer, Ye Bai directly named a price.
"Only one million to buy off my daughter? Where in the world is there such a cheap deal?" It was Zhao Pengfei speaking, who had just returned from outside, not knowing how much he’d overheard.
Seeing the person he once looked up to become so degenerate, Ye Bai felt disdain and laughed at himself for not having the foresight. In school, he managed to do fine, but once out of school, wasn’t he nothing?
Even if he was wronged back then, how stupid would he have to be to blindly believe without any evidence? If Zhao Pengfei didn’t have ulterior motives back then, Ye Bai wouldn’t believe it. If you want to play tricks, then being played by others is only fitting.
Moreover, the information Ye Bai gathered showed that after being released, Zhao Pengfei hadn’t found a decent job. The glory in school seemed like a joke, and now coming shamelessly to sell his daughter. Such a person wasn’t worth another look.
"How much do you want?" Ye Bai asked mockingly, looking at him.
Zhao Pengfei was indifferent now. After all he’d been through, he’d finally realized that talent meant nothing. Only money and connections were all-powerful. What were face and dignity worth?
He didn’t expect his wife to give him such a huge surprise by boldly swapping his daughter with Ye Bai’s. He wasn’t close with his daughter—why care if she was around or not? Money was all that mattered, especially since his son was still young!
He justified it as being for his biological daughter’s sake. After all, Shen Huiran was right. What good days could she have with them? Just look at Zhao Yao.
Regarding this non-biological daughter, Zhao Pengfei was satisfied; after all, she did all the housework, though it was a shame she wasn’t his biological daughter.
If he had known that Qian Lan Ya had hidden such a big thing, he should have treated Zhao Yao better. Maybe later, he could ask her for money, but now saying anything was pointless. Better to take this opportunity to extort a sum from Ye Bai.
"Ten million." Zhao Pengfei directly multiplied it by ten, sounding quite bold.
"This is extortion." Ye Bai’s face darkened, looking at Zhao Pengfei with disdain.
"Just say if you’ll give it or not. Ten million is nothing to you, like buying a well-behaved, obedient, and beautiful daughter back home, what’s not to like?"
Hearing him speak like this, Shen Huiran felt even more pain for Ye Xingyan. Even her biological parents didn’t care about her—how could she bear to bring her daughter back?
Yet she herself didn’t think that when she first learned her daughter’s background might be problematic, did she recognize Zhao Yao?
She and Zhao Pengfei Qian Lan Ya were merely two sides of the same coin.
"Ten million it is, but you have to sign an agreement to relinquish Xingyan’s custody rights," Shen Huiran quickly agreed.
Qian Lan Ya and Zhao Pengfei didn’t expect her to be so generous. While delighted, they also regretted if they had asked for too little. But the daughter was still their flesh and blood. If they encountered difficulties later, wouldn’t she still help? She might even thank them for relinquishing custody!
As the four adults began to draft an agreement, Zhao Yao finally realized, whether her current or biological parents, neither seemed to care much about her?
