Chapter 781: Chapter 824: Name Your Price!
Listening to their mother-daughter conversation, Ye Shan hurriedly said, "Anxin, I don’t want money, nor do I need it. My goal is just to spend my twilight years happily with you. Over these six months, I’ve figured it out; money is just fleeting clouds, and only a family being happy together is true happiness!"
Ye Anxin sneered, disdainful, "The things you couldn’t figure out for over twenty years, you suddenly figured out in these few months? Do you think we would believe that?"
Ye Shan sighed deeply, pretending to be helpless, "A lot has happened in these six months; I’ve seen a lot of human warmth and coldness! When you have money, others worship you like an ancestor; when you don’t have money, you’re nothing, and they kick you aside! So, I’ve seen through it now! In this world, only you and your mother treat me the best! As long as you agree to let me return to your side, I’m willing to do anything!"
"Kicked aside?" Ye Anxin raised her eyebrows, immediately grasping the key point in Ye Shan’s words.
This kind of kicking aside must be different from others! The feeling is just different!
"To tell you the truth! After taking the five million and leaving Jin City, I met a woman! She’s young, pretty, and sexy! I fell for her at first sight! Later, we got together! But unexpectedly, she was with me just for the money! These six months, we had lots of fun; we ate, drank, played, and even gambled together! When the money was there, she was utterly compliant and good to me! But after the money was gambled away, she kicked me aside!" He said this while forcefully slapping himself twice, "I know I’m a jerk; I’m not human; being kicked out is what I deserve; I brought it upon myself! After being booted by that woman, I realized how good you and your mother were! And only you two genuinely care for me in this world! In the following month, without money, I wandered while thinking of you! Initially, I didn’t plan to come back to find you; I felt too ashamed to see you! But I missed you both so much that I found some odd jobs somewhere, and then came back to find you!"
He originally didn’t want to tell them these things, fearing that if he did, Ye Anxin and her mother wouldn’t forgive him!
However, that woman said he must talk about this experience!
She also said, given Ye Anxin’s capabilities now, if she dispatched someone to investigate his past six months, she’d definitely find everything clearly. It’s better to confess than to be found out by Ye Anxin; confessing seems more sincere.
Hearing Ye Shan took the five million they were betrayed for and immediately found a young, pretty woman, Ye Anxin and her mother were infuriated!
Ye Mother was even angrier, her face turning blue and white, unable to say a word for a long time.
Compared to the Mother’s agitation, Ye Anxin, though angry, was much calmer, "I ask you, how do you know my mother lives here?"
Ye Shan responded according to the woman’s instruction, "That day after your mother left the hotel, I hailed a taxi and followed her all the way to this neighborhood! At first, the security stopped me from entering! Later, I stayed outside the neighborhood for a few days; when the security allowed me in, I followed your mother to find out where she lived!"
Ye Anxin asked again, "Why would the security let you in?"
"I told the security I’m your mother’s husband. To convince the security, I showed your mother’s marriage certificate and household registration! Then the security let me in!" Ye Shan continued to answer according to the woman’s instruction.
"Marriage certificate and household registration?" Ye Anxin frowned slightly, looked at her mother, puzzled, "Mom, aren’t the marriage certificate and household registration with you? How did he get them?"
Ye Mother was also puzzled, "He secretly took the household registration when he left earlier! But the marriage certificate was always with me!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Anxin narrowed her eyes slightly, displeasedly looking at Ye Shan!
Afraid they wouldn’t believe what he said, he quickly took out the marriage certificate he carried and handed it to Ye Anxin, timidly saying, "To get in here, the marriage certificate is fake; I had it forged by someone who makes fake certificates!"
Ye Anxin opened the marriage certificate and carefully examined it, discovering that although the certificate was fake, its craftsmanship was almost identical to a real one! If Ye Shan didn’t tell her it was fake, even she might have thought it was real.
Looking at the ******** in her hand, Ye Anxin coldly said, "To come back, you really racked your brains!"
Ye Shan hung his head, ashamed, "Anxin, I know both you and your mother are very angry at my past actions! But I’ve suffered the punishment I deserved; I’ve repented, realized my mistakes! I swear, as long as you’ll forgive me, I’ll surely treat you both well, and I’ll never do anything to wrong you again!"
Ye Anxin looked expressionlessly at Ye Shan, "Gambling, beating your wife, living off others, being lazy and idle! Do you think I would hand over my mother to you?"
"As long as you forgive me and let me come home, I’ll find a job, I’ll make money to support your mother!" As he spoke, afraid Ye Anxin wouldn’t believe him, Ye Shan hurriedly raised his right hand in a swearing gesture.
Ye Anxin looked at Ye Shan’s face for a long while!
Though she didn’t believe Ye Shan’s words, at this moment, Ye Shan, no matter how you looked at him, seemed genuinely sincere without the slightest hint of falseness.
Even so, she still didn’t believe he would truly change!
As the saying goes, it’s easy to change rivers and mountains but hard to change one’s innate nature; a dog can’t change its ****! A lifetime of temperament, how could he suddenly change?
Ye Anxin thought the reason Ye Shan wouldn’t agree to leave was simply that he felt the price she previously offered was too low, his heart too greedy, so she asked again, "Forget it, I’m not going to waste words with you! Let’s get to the point, how much money will it take for you to leave my mom and stop pestering her?" With this said, she paused, then continued, "Don’t tell me you’ve truly repented! Even if you truly have, this family no longer needs you! So why don’t you promptly name a price! As long as you agree to leave my mom, divorce her, I’ll agree to whatever conditions you have!"
Ye Shan turned his head away, refusing to look at Ye Anxin, firmly and decisively said, "I don’t want it; no matter how much you offer, I don’t want it!"
Seeing Ye Shan like this, Ye Anxin coldly chuckled inside, slightly parted her red lips, and calmly uttered three words, "Ten million...!"
Upon hearing the words ’ten million,’ Ye Shan’s face, turned aside, instantly contorted slightly, excitement filling his eyes! Even the hands resting on his knees couldn’t help but spasm.
