Chapter 285 Cruel Adoptive Parents
Qin Tianfang's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was full of self-blame and regret. "I should have fought you back then. No matter the cost, I couldn't let Sister Nian Nian suffer like that." He took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart. He looked at Liu Erya and Qin Dashan with a firm gaze, "Now I can't let you make the same mistake again. If this money didn't come from a legitimate source, we can't take a single cent."
When Liu Erya heard this, she immediately jumped up in anxiety: "You silly child, what are you talking about! This money was given by Gu Yujue, how can it be ill-gotten gains? Isn't it only natural for him to give us some money?"
Qin Tianfang frowned, his face full of confusion: "Gu Yujue? Who is he? Why would he give you one million for no reason? What right does he have to give you one million! And I've already told you, I won't get married, I won't get married. That woman wants to get married too early, but I don't want a five million betrothal gift. At worst, I'll never get divorced.
Seeing his son being so stubborn, Dashan took a step forward with a bit of impatience on his face. "You stubborn ass, are you going to never get married? Don't worry about the betrothal gift. This one million is given by your brother-in-law Gu Yujue. Gu Yujue is Nian Nian's husband, and we are Nian Nian's family. Isn't it natural for him to give us money? If this one million is not enough, I will make my parents give me five million as a betrothal gift even if they throw a tantrum. Don't get involved here."
Qin Tianfang was even more shocked when he heard this. He widened his eyes and looked at his parents in disbelief: "Sister Nian Nian is married? Why didn't she tell me? Also, just because he is Sister Nian Nian's husband, he can give you money casually? This sounds weird no matter how you listen to it." Qin Tianfang knew that Qin Niannian had suffered a lot of grievances at home since she was a child. Now that she was married, his parents were still sucking her blood.
Thinking of this, Qin Tianfang said angrily: "Dad, Mom, how could you think like that? Sister Nian Nian has been bullied by you since she was a child, and why didn't you think about the present when you sold her to that gambler? If it weren't for Sister Yi Yi's help, I'm afraid Sister Nian Nian's life would be ruined."
Liu Erya and Qin Dashan looked at their son with expressions of disappointment. Liu Erya put her hands on her hips and shouted at the top of her lungs, "What are you talking about! We're doing all this for you, not just to find you a wife, but also to make life better for our family. Isn't it easy for us? And you, on the other hand, are turning your elbows outward and even speaking for that money-loser!"
Everyone present came over to watch the fun, and they talked about it: "These parents are such bad guys! They actually sold their daughter. How can there be such cruel people in the world?" "That's right, they can sell their own daughter, so they can't do the same for their son to get married." These whispers were like sharp needles, piercing Qin Tianfang's heart, making his face even uglier.
"If I had a daughter, I would love her endlessly, afraid she would melt if I held her in my mouth, and afraid she would drop if I held her in my hands. But how could this couple be so cruel? They actually sold their own daughter to a gambler. This is simply insane!" A man in the bank was saying.
"Who said it wasn't true? What era is this? How can people still do such things? Look at him now. His daughter finally married into a good family, but he actually came to suck his daughter's blood. How shameless!" said an old man, trembling with a cane.
Then an older woman stood up and said, "Yeah, look at the son. He still has some conscience and knows how to protect his sister. But his parents are obsessed with money and only care about finding a wife for their son. What do they think of their daughter as? A bargaining chip?"
The chatter around them grew louder, each word like a hammer hammering at Qin Tianfang's heart. He looked at his parents, his disappointment and anger reaching a peak. "For me? You keep saying it's for me, but you've turned me into a pariah! Do you know how others see me? With parents so heartless as to sell their daughter, how can I face life in the future?" Qin Tianfang's chest heaved violently, his eyes welled up, and his voice trembled unconsciously.
Liu Erya's face turned pale with anger at her son's words. She stamped her feet fiercely and shouted, "You heartless person! We did all this just to give you a good life, but you blame it all on us. As for Qin Niannian, if we hadn't adopted her, she would have starved to death long ago, so giving us 10 million is not too much. Gu Yujue is rich, so it's only natural for him to help our family. How can he be considered a bloodsucker?"
Qin Dashan's face was also filled with anger. He stepped forward, pointed at Qin Tianfang's nose and cursed, "You unfilial son! We worked so hard to raise you, and this is how you repay us? You must take the money today. If you dare to stop me, don't recognize me as your father!"
Qin Tianfang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He looked at his parents and said word by word, "Dad, Mom, wake up! Sister Nian Nian is not your daughter. She has been treated differently by you since she was a child and has suffered a lot. How desperate must she have been when you sold her to the gamblers? Now that she has finally started her own life, you still want to squeeze her dry. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
At this time, the bank security guard came over and said with a frown: "This is a bank, not a place for quarreling. If you continue to disrupt the order like this, we will have to call the police."
Qin Tianfang looked at the security guard and said earnestly, "Please give us a little more time, we will be there soon." The security guard hesitated for a moment, nodded, and stood not far away watching them.
Qin Tianfang turned to his parents again, his tone slightly softened: "Mom and Dad, let's find a quiet place to talk it out, okay? Arguing here will only make things worse." Although Liu Erya and Qin Dashan were reluctant, seeing the eyes of the people around them, they had no choice but to follow Qin Tianfang to a small corner outside the bank.
Once in the corner, Liu Erya started crying again: "What sin have I committed to give birth to such an unfilial son like you? You won't listen to a word I say. We have given so much for you, can't you understand us?"
Qin Tianfang looked at his mother crying bitterly, and his heart ached, but he still said firmly: "Mom, it's not that I don't understand you, I just don't want you to make the same mistake again. Gu Yujue gave you money, but there must be conditions. Have you thought about what the conditions are? What if there is a bigger trouble hidden behind this money, what should we do?"
Qin Dashan snorted coldly, "What kind of trouble could there be? Since he married Nian Nian, he should be responsible for our family. What's a little money to him?"
Qin Tianfang patiently explained, "Dad, it's not that simple. Gu Yujue is not an ordinary person. He can easily come up with one million, so he must have his considerations. Think about it, would he give us money for no reason? Maybe he is testing us to see if we are really as greedy and selfish as the rumors say."
Liu Erya and Qin Dashan were both a little shaken after hearing their son's words. They looked at each other, hesitation showing on their faces. Liu Erya whispered, "Then...what should we do? Can we still take the money?"
