Chapter 1204: I Am Your Father-in-Law（2）
Huang Ying was not happy!
Extremely unhappy!
Therefore Huang Ying continued, “I don’t care about money. If I wanted money, in the past, I would not have married into a poor but upright family like the Xu Family and would definitely not have recklessly bought Chengcheng from the child trafficker and raised her to adulthood.” Huang Ying paused, and she forced out a couple of tears. “I really can’t bear to part with Chengcheng. She is my only daughter. If I don’t see her in the future, then there will be no more meaning in my life.”
Lina expressed indifference while facing Huang Ying, who was in such a state.
At this time, Xu Cheng reacted, and she tugged on Lina’s arm. “I also can’t bear to part with my adopted mother. Can we leave with her?”
“You want to leave with her?” Lina turned around to look at Xu Cheng. “I have already agreed to give her some money. You should also know that this money is not a small sum. Is that not enough? I want to be the only mother in your life. After all, I’ve been alone for so many years and lived painfully. If you want, you can visit her whenever you want. It’s not that you guys will never see each other again. Is that not enough?”
There wasn’t a problem with Lina’s words for a normal mother and daughter. However, it was as if she gave an ultimatum to Xu Cheng, and it was a very difficult ultimatum.
If she was Lina’s biological daughter, then it would be fine no matter what she chooses.
However, the problem was that she was not Lina’s biological daughter, and they had already promised that they would take Huang Ying alone with them. Also, right now, Xu Cheng did not have the mental capability to face Lina and Eric alone in Europe. If Huang Ying was there, she would at least have some sort of certainty in her heart.
If she was the biological daughter, if worst came to worst, she could just simply tell Lina that she didn’t want to leave her adopted mother and would not return with her.
However, Xu Cheng wasn’t. She didn’t dare say such things. She was afraid that at that time, Lina really wouldn’t bring her back with her. By then, wouldn’t her and Eric’s plan entirely fall apart?
Xu Cheng didn’t know how to answer, and she subconsciously looked towards Eric.
At this moment, Eric’s expression also became tense. However, at this time, he could only stand there as a speculator. He could not help Xu Cheng at all.
Lina observed the reactions of those three people and then picked up her lemon honey water and played down her words. “Let’s talk about this later, since we are not leaving soon anyways.”
When she heard Lina’s words, Xu Cheng sighed in relief. Luckily, Lina did not force her to reply immediately. Since they had a couple more days, the three of them would have time to discuss this matter.
Lina placed her gla.s.s down and looked at Huang Ying. “Based on my information, in the past, you left Chengcheng in the care of your elder brother in City H for a while, right?”
Although Lina changed the topic, Huang Ying’s heart was tense because of the previous incident. She suddenly relaxed and subconsciously answered Lina’s question.
“That’s right. My elder brother’s name is Huang Long…”
Lina and Huang Ying’s meeting lasted until nighttime. Afterward, Lina said that she was a bit tired and wanted to return to her room to rest, and she pretended to be considerate by telling Xu Cheng to return with Huang Ying.
Originally, Xu Cheng did not want to return; she wanted to stay beside Lina. Perhaps then she would be able to get even better things. However, she was unable to endure Huang Ying and Eric’s threatening gazes and could only unwillingly return home with Huang Ying.
