Chapter 1156: 797 Couples who turn against each other outdo enemies (5k!)_3

"Yang Ni, I want to tell you something. I’m sitting here today, not because I am afraid to fight this lawsuit with you. I am Nannan’s daddy, and I want to protect her from harm more than anyone. You keep saying you love her, but aren’t you hurting her by going to court now?"

"You forced my hand! I’ve been patient all these years, but what have you done? I believe Nannan will understand later."

Yang Ni’s face was cold with impatience, evidently having reached her limit.

Wei Dongxu played with his sunglasses, leaning back into the sofa.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Pei Yunxi took a sip of her lemon juice.

Wei Dongxu looked at her, seemingly having briefly adjusted his emotions, and gave a light smile.

"Yang Ni, they say ’don’t air your dirty laundry in public,’ but here you are, making sure everyone knows about it."

"Then give Nannan to me. State your terms."

Yang Ni also calmed down.

Unless absolutely necessary, she didn’t want to take things to court either, which is why she was willing to accept the meeting even at this point.

Solving this privately would undoubtedly minimize damage to her daughter.

"Terms? What do you think Nannan is? A commodity? An item?"

"Wei Dongxu, don’t spew nonsense at me!"

"Yang Ni, have you considered what would happen if Nannan really went with you? What would you do then?"

"What do you mean?"

Wei Dongxu was expressionless. "You’ll have to get married again one day, right? In these past few years, I’ve heard plenty of gossip about you. Why don’t I want you to see Nannan? Because I don’t think you can be a competent mom."

Before the emotionally surging Yang Ni could retort, the rational Pei Yunxi who had been listening couldn’t help but speak up.

"You’re also an actor; you should know that a lot of times, it’s media hype and necessary publicity."

"I understand."

Wei Dongxu nodded, then looked at Yang Ni, "But can you guarantee that it’s all false? Even if it were, can you guarantee that you won’t start a new relationship in the future? Won’t get remarried? Won’t create a new family?"

As someone who rose from a pure artist to her current stature, Yang Ni’s intellect was not in question. She immediately retorted, "What about you? Can you promise you’ll never get married? Never find another woman?"

"I’m a man, and it’s always better for a daddy to take care of a child than for a mummy. Step-mothers are definitely worse than step-fathers."

"Bullshit!"

Unable to restrain herself any longer, Yang Ni exclaimed, "Wei Dongxu, stop spouting this meaningless drivel. Will you give Nannan to me or not? If not, I’ll see you in court!"

"Are you so sure you’ll win?"

Wei Dongxu looked at Yang Ni with an expression of calm and composure that Yang Ni found very uncomfortable.

"As I’ve said, I invited you here today not because I’m afraid of you, but because I am a father. Since our divorce, I have been the one raising Nannan. What do you think the judge will decide? Just because you’re richer than this daddy, the child will be given to you?"

"I agree, and neither would the law."

"You’re the one keeping me from seeing Nannan!"

Yang Ni’s anger was uncontrollable.

Indeed.

After the divorce, she really hadn’t fulfilled her duties as a mother, but was it her fault?

She never even had the chance to take responsibility!

"Do you think what you are saying will matter in court? In court, it’s about evidence, facts, not about who yells louder."

Wei Dongxu was calm and unhurried.

"Moreover, the most important reference for custody is the child’s own wishes."

As he spoke, he lifted the corner of his mouth.

"So do you think Nannan, who already calls you ’Aunty,’ would want to leave me, her daddy, to live with ’Aunty’?"

"You...!"

Even as a veteran actress with emotional control far above the average person, Yang Ni struggled to contain her boiling fury, and she couldn’t help but stand up abruptly.

The other guests couldn’t help but look over.

"Yang Ni, please sit down."

Pei Yunxi tugged at her hand.

Yang Ni took a deep breath, her chest heaving as she sat back down.

"So, Yang Ni, for Nannan’s sake, and your own, don’t waste your effort. Go back to your new life; you’re still young and will have your own children."

Yang Ni clenched her hands, her voice as firm as iron, word by word she said: "Wei Dongxu, you know my character. If I fail once, I will fight a second time, and if I fail twice, I will fight a third time."

Wei Dongxu’s expression grew colder.

"It seems my judgment of you is correct, you simply cannot make a qualified mother. Since you insist on making everyone uncomfortable, then I will just have to accommodate that. I may not be as wealthy as you, but I can still afford to fight a lawsuit."

With that, Wei Dongxu put on his sunglasses and stood up to leave.

Yang Ni sat there, lips pursed, with a pallid complexion.

"Yang Ni, at least in one aspect, he should love Nannan. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so resolute."

Pei Yunxi spoke.

Everyone knew that if this lawsuit really started, the end result would undoubtedly be detrimental to both parties. And if it involved the child, then it would be tragic for three.

If Wei Dongxu didn’t love the child, wasn’t a responsible father, he could have used the child as a bargaining chip to make demands of Yang Ni.

Like demanding the three billion prepared for the lawsuit.

Yang Ni would likely not refuse.

But he didn’t do that; without the child, as a man, he could live a more carefree life.

Estranged spouses, indeed, can be more dreadful than enemies.

Wei Dongxu’s resoluteness was probably just because of his hatred for Yang Ni herself.

"He loves Nannan, does that mean I don’t?"

Yang Ni took several deep breaths.

Even the most rational people have emotional moments.

She knew he was doing it to get revenge, to make her suffer.

"I will not give up, never."
