Chapter 24: Can You Afford It?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“What did you say? I’m not a man? What gives you the right to meddle in my family affairs? Who do you think you are, huh? So, you’ve come home with my daughter. Are you thinking of marrying her? Sure. Ten million yuan. Give me 10 million yuan and she’s yours.”

Xiao Aichu turned red within seconds. He waved the bottle of alcohol in his hand as he pointed at Xiao Yun.

Yu Tian suppressed the urge to punch the middle-aged man in his face. After all, he was still Xiao Yun’s father.

“Is this how you treat your daughter? How could you do something like this? You’re so selfish. You tried to sell her off as if she’s an object.”

Yu Tian tried to criticize the young woman’s father. Besides, Xiao Yun was his employee and he needed to take that into consideration before hitting the middle-aged man.

“Daughter? She and her mother are nothing but bearers of ill luck! I asked her to start working during her teen years but instead, she continued studying at a b*llshit school. Even though she has graduated, she’s still only working for people like you. What’s the point of earning a few thousand yuan each month?! I stand by my words. Women should be obedient. At the end of the day, they’re only playthings for rich men like you.”

Yu Tian was infuriated upon hearing that. Why would anyone say something like that about their own daughter?!

This man was an animal!

Furthermore, from the sounds of it, it seemed like Xiao Yun was pressured for a long time to stop attending school.

“Dad, don’t say that. I’ve missed out on many better opportunities because of you and mom. I could have earned much more than I do now,” said Xiao Yun.

“Earn much more than now? Dream on. You’re exactly like your mother. Both of you only bring bad luck. If it weren’t for the two of you, I wouldn’t have lost every time I gambled. I wouldn’t have lost one million yuan. Xiao Yun, I’m telling you now. You’re my daughter and you must listen to me. I’ll forgive you for not obeying me in the past, but you must help me settle this debt!”

Yu Tian was about to explode with rage. He took one step forward and slapped Aichu on the face.

‘Slap!’

The deafening noise stunned Xiao Yun and her father.

Aichu stared at Yu Tian in disbelief. After a long time, his mind finally registered the pain on his cheek.

Had he just been slapped?!

“You… You hit me?! I’m calling the police. I’ll make sure they lock you up!”

Aichu shouted.

“I’ve never seen anyone like you. You’re an animal. You don’t deserve to be a father!”

Yu Tian reprimanded.

“F*ck. Don’t you dare think you’ll be able to marry my daughter!”

“I don’t…”

Yu Tian was about to say that his intentions were not to marry Xiao Yun, but he was interrupted by the young woman.

“You have no say in that. I’m going to marry him!”

Yu Tian was taken aback.

What was happening?

“You want to marry him? Xiao Yun, you’ve become so stubborn. I’m going to beat some sense into you!”

Aichu was steaming with anger. He threw the beer bottle he was holding in Xiao Yun’s direction.

This man still had the cheek to hit others?!

There was no way Yu Tian would allow that. He leaped in the air and kicked Aichu. The latter fell to the floor and wailed in pain.

“What’s going on?”

All of a sudden, a hoarse female’s voice could be heard.

Both Yu Tian and Xiao Yun turned to the source of the voice. A middle-aged woman was walking hastily towards them. One side of her face was swollen and traces of blood were visible at the corners of her lips.

This middle-aged woman was Xiao Yun’s mother – Guo Weixin.

“Mom!”

Xiao Yun embraced her mother with teary eyes.

“Yun, didn’t you say that you’re only coming home in the evening? Why did you leave work early?”

Weixin’s voice was hoarse. It sounded like a broken record and was unpleasant to the ears.

Instead of answering the question, Xiao Yun carefully caressed her mother’s face.

“Mom, did he hit you again?!”

The young woman really did not want to call the middle-aged man “father” after seeing what had happened.

Weixin shook her head.

“I hit my head by accident.”

“Your voice has turned hoarse from all the crying.”

Xiao Yun felt sorry for her mother.

“Please remember to drink more water. Otherwise, you might lose your voice.”

Yu Tian’s words filled the air.

It was only then that Weixin noticed the young man. She was baffled and turned around to look at her daughter.

“Who’s this?”

“He’s my boss, President Yu.”

President Yu?!

Weixin quickly wiped her tears away. She did not want to reveal her vulnerable side to her daughter’s boss.

“I’m sorry, President Yu. I’ve made a fool of myself.”

“Please, just call me Yu Tian.”

The young man helped both women to their feet.

Weixin hurriedly thanked him.

“Thank you, President Yu!”

As if she was suddenly reminded of something, Weixin instantly turned around to look at her daughter.

“Yun, have you been fired? Why else would President Yu be here?”

“Aunt Weixin, I’m here to help you.”

Yu Tian turned to look at Aichu before Xiao Yun could reply.

“Call the loan sharks and tell them that you’re going to pay the debts.”

Aichu held a hand over his belly. The pain sobered him up a little.

“Pay?” he said. A look of despair washed over his face. “We have no money.”

“Cut the b*llshit,” said Yu Tian coldly.

Aichu dared not say much after being scolded. He retrieved his cell phone and immediately made the phone call.

Ten minutes later, two vans were parked next to Yu Tian’s Continental GT. Ten strong men got out of the vehicles.

They completely surrounded Xiao Yun’s house.

The leader of the group scanned the room with a violent gaze. Finally, his sight landed on Xiao Yun.

He checked her out from top to bottom with a perverted intention. It almost seemed like he wanted to “devour” her right there and then.

Xiao Yun turned her head away without saying anything.

The man thought to himself, ‘Stop pretending. Soon, you’ll become my woman!’

Then, he turned his head around and stared at Aichu.

“Old man, you got the money?”

With a quivering voice, Aichu replied, “Young Master Chen, I… I don’t.”

“Are you f*cking with me?”

The man’s real name was Chen Cejin.

“Young Master Chen, I dare not. He was the one who forced me to make the phone call. It’s got nothing to do with me. Please don’t condemn me.”

Aichu pointed his finger directly at Yu Tian.

“Oh?”

Cejin looked at Yu Tian.

“Little boy, who are you?”

“Young Master Chen, he’s my daughter’s boss. President Yu.”

Aichu answered from the side like a henchman.

“President Yu?”

Cejin shifted his gaze to Xiao Yun. He teased, “Really? Or are you actually his mistress?”

“Watch your mouth,” said Yu Tian.

“What has this got to do with you? Little boy, take my advice – don’t look for trouble.”

“How much do they owe you? I’ll pay the debt on their behalf.”

“You’re paying?”

Cejin looked at Yu Tian from head to toe.

“Can you afford 1 million yuan?”

He did not believe the latter was that rich.

Yu Tian looked too young. Perhaps Cejin would be more convinced if he was a few years older..
