After Mu Jinyu's resuscitation, Yu Xiuwen quickly regained consciousness.
Once he awoke, he also realized that Yu Linglong probably wouldn't dare to be pregnant before marriage. Their recent conversation had been nothing but a deception aimed at him and Director Wang!
It was just that he had been too angry to consider this before.
"You... You've been conspiring to deceive me, haven't you?"
As soon as Yu Xiuwen came to, he glared at Mu Jinyu and Yu Linglong with red eyes, whether from drunkenness or rage, it was hard to tell.
Mu Jinyu withdrew the Silver Needle and feigned surprise, "You figured that out? Uncle, you're truly clever!"
Yu Xiuwen was livid, pointing at Mu Jinyu, "You! You!"
After stuttering for a while, Yu Xiuwen turned his head to look at Yu Linglong and said, "Do you know what you're doing? Director Wang was finally ready to pay the dowry, and I was about to turn things around. Then you start causing trouble with him! Are you trying to drive me to my grave?!"
Yu Linglong hung her head, her lips pursed, staying silent.
Mu Jinyu said, "This was all my idea, why are you scolding Linglong?"
When Yu Xiuwen heard Mu Jinyu's words, he turned back to glare at Mu Jinyu and cursed, "You still dare to speak. If it weren't for you, I would have the money already! I..."
Looking around, his eyes suddenly lit up. He grabbed a broom that was lying nearby and advanced toward Mu Jinyu, "I'll beat you to death, you bastard, for causing a million yuan to slip through my fingers!"
Mu Jinyu had no intention of letting himself be beaten up, and with a swift hand motion, he grabbed the broomstick that Yu Xiuwen swung at him. His expression darkened as he said flatly, "Uncle, if you remain unreasonable like this, don't blame me for not being polite!"
Yu Xiuwen felt a chill when he heard Mu Jinyu's calm threat and involuntarily let go of the broom.
Mu Jinyu then took the broom, tossed it aside, and dusted off his hands, "You don't need to be like this, uncle. It's just one million yuan after all. I can give you ten million. How about you sell Linglong to me?"
Mu Jinyu deliberately used the sharp term "sell."
Yu Xiuwen's countenance involuntarily changed upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words.
It was as if his fig leaf had been ripped away, causing his face to turn even paler.
Yu Xiuwen's lips quivered, attempting to retort.
Mu Jinyu spoke, "Don't question whether I have the money. Have you heard of the Beauty Pill that's all the rage? I own that company, so I won't be short-changing you!
After a pause, he continued, "I'll give you ten million yuan, ten times what Director Wang offered, to buy Linglong off you. From then on, she has nothing to do with you. How about it?"
Seeing Yu Xiuwen still hesitant, Mu Jinyu said, "Look at me, young and handsome, offering ten times what Director Wang did. What is there for you to refuse? Would anyone else spend ten million yuan to buy Linglong?"
Yu Xiuwen, upon hearing this, also felt it unlikely and, after his complexion changed a few times, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I agree!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Yu Linglong, whose face had already turned pale because of Mu Jinyu's sharp words, went completely ashen when she saw her father, who had been so indecisive, finally agreeing to sell her to Mu Jinyu.
Yu Xiuwen didn't dare to look at Yu Linglong.
With a few shifts in his gaze, he said to Mu Jinyu, "Give me the ten million yuan, and I'll leave at once, never to contact Linglong again, nor will I ask her for money."
He thought to himself, just wait until I make my comeback. I'll return twenty million yuan to you and keep you away from my daughter, huh!
Mu Jinyu said, "Don't rush. I don't believe empty promises. Let's sign a contract, shall we?"
Then, Mu Jinyu asked Yu Linglong to fetch some paper and pens.
Yu Linglong, white as a ghost, didn't move at first. After being reminded several times by Mu Jinyu, she went and fetched them in a daze.
Mu Jinyu took the paper and pen and started writing swiftly. He quickly finished, then handed the written agreement to Yu Xiuwen.
Yu Xiuwen took it, read it over, and saw that it stated that after Mu Jinyu paid him ten million yuan, he and Yu Linglong would sever their father-daughter relationship. He would not be allowed to bother her anymore, among other stipulations...
I wrote a lot, and every single clause was a restraint on him. Once he took the money, he would have to roll out of Yu Linglong's world forever.
Yu Xiuwen's hands trembled slightly as he clutched the paper, his gaze fixed on the line "terminate the father-daughter relationship."
He hesitated for a long time but finally signed his name on it and pressed his handprint with the red clay.
Seeing this, a trace of disappointment flickered through Mu Jinyu's eyes.
This guy, he's truly beyond salvation.
Yu Linglong's complexion also turned utterly pale, devoid of a single trace of color.
Yu Xiuwen handed the terms to Mu Jinyu and said, "Bring the money!"
In his frenzy, he thought that once he turned the tables, he would definitely win back Linglong. If he couldn't turn the tables, Linglong, being with someone willing to spend ten million yuan to buy her, probably wouldn't live too poorly!
Mu Jinyu took the terms, put them away, and then asked Yu Xiuwen for his bank account, took out her phone, and made a call.
The message notification sound from Yu Xiuwen's phone rang out.
He immediately took out his phone and saw the message. His originally pale face, which had not a hint of color, suddenly flushed with excitement!
Yu Xiuwen was thrilled. He finally had money again to turn the tides at gambling.
Turning to look at Yu Linglong, who had a vacant expression and seemed to have lost her soul, Yu Xiuwen hesitated and then said, "I'm leaving, and I won't bother you guys anymore!"
He clenched his fists slightly and planned to book a plane ticket for Haojiang Casino that very night, to reverse his fortune as soon as possible and redeem his daughter sooner!
Seeing him about to leave, Mu Jinyu quickly stretched out her hand to stop him, saying, "Uncle, are you planning to go to Haojiang Casino?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Yu Xiuwen glared at Mu Jinyu with displeasure.
Although Mu Jinyu had given him ten million yuan to buy Yu Linglong, if it weren't for her, his relationship with Yu Linglong would never have hit rock bottom, exposing the raw truth of selling his daughter for money.
Mu Jinyu said, "There's no need to make a special trip to Haojiang. Here in River City, there's actually a very well-run gambling house. I believe you must have heard of it but don't know how to get there, right?"
"You know?" Yu Xiuwen, hearing Mu Jinyu's words, brightened up and quickly asked.
Mu Jinyu half-truthfully replied, "Hmm, I just won 1.1 billion there recently, and it was with that starting capital that I established Jinyu Group."
"Really?" Yu Xiuwen asked incredulously.
The biggest worry about gambling was winning too much money but not being able to leave the house.
If what Mu Jinyu said was true, then the gambling house evidently had a good reputation and was worth a shot.
Mu Jinyu said, "You must know a lot of gamblers, right? Just make a phone call and you'll know."
Yu Xiuwen hurriedly made a call to inquire.
He then received confirmation that indeed, there was a teenager, seventeen or eighteen years old, who started with one hundred yuan at the Xueyin Commerce Chamber gambling house and won 1.1 billion, leaving unscathed.
Yu Xiuwen looked at Mu Jinyu again, and seeing his demeanor, he instantly believed him.
He eagerly said, "Then take me there!"
Mu Jinyu nodded with a smile.
She thought to herself, 'The big fish is hooked.'
