Chapter 155: 155 Battle for Child_1

"Five million!" Qin Muchuan handed over a cheque for five million. "As long as you give up Ranran’s custody, this five million is all yours."

Lin Xiangwan’s heart was trampled on, causing her unbearable pain and anger. Lost to emotion, she shouted, "You think you can buy my son with five million? My son is priceless to me, no amount of money can replace him! What compensation can fill the void if my priceless treasure is taken away?"

Qin Muchuan didn’t believe her sorrow was genuine and looked at her, perplexed. "If you’re so altruistic, why did you agree to the deal with my grandmother in the first place? Had it not been for the money, would you have decided to sell off your unborn child?"

His counter-question left Lin Xiangwan speechless for a moment. Ashamed and self-condemning, she lowered her head. "...At that time, I had no choice; I could only accept your grandmother’s proposal..."

Qin Muchuan’s expression turned colder. "It was because Song Yichen urgently needed money for his surgery. So, you agreed to the deal and sell your unborn child, isn’t it?"

Even though the truth was ugly, she had to nod in agreement.

Qin Muchuan resisted the urge to throttle her. Dammit, he didn’t understand why he felt such a rush of anger.

Suppressing his emotions, he strived to remain calm as he continued the negotiations. "So, you prepared from the beginning to be separated from the child. You knew that as soon as the child was born, you’d have to part ways. Doesn’t it make your reluctance now seem a bit ridiculous?"

Stung by his words, Lin Xiangwan choked on her shame, though she forced herself not to cry. During negotiations, tears were the most useless thing.

Because your opponent only wants to gain more from you. Tears won’t bring back their sympathy; in fact, it will only enhance their sense of victory.

"Yes, at twenty-two, I had no choice. From the moment I conceived, or even earlier, I was prepared to part ways with the child, possibly forever. But after the child was born, your grandmother didn’t show up and didn’t give me the promised money; so, this child is mine... You have no right to take my child away. Not to mention Tongtong... Tongtong should also be mine. You had no right to secretly take her away. Now, I have the right to question you, and you have no position to question me!"

"Due to some complications, the transaction might have been delayed, but it doesn’t mean it’s over. However, none of this matters. What matters is that I am definitely going to take Ranran, and your only problem is the amount of compensation! As for Tongtong, the matter is complicated. I can’t explain it to you, but I’ll make up for the compensation that should belong to Tongtong too!"

"No, I don’t want compensation, I just want the child! Give him back!" Lin Xiangwan was extremely agitated.

"No need to rush and answer me now. I’ll give you three days to think about it, whether you want to be involved in a legal battle or leave with the money. But let me remind you, if we do go through with legal proceedings, not only will you not get any money, you won’t even get the children!" Qin Muchuan firmly reminded. He then glanced at his watch. "I have matters to attend to later, let’s end the conversation here."

Lin Xiangwan stated resolutely, "I don’t need to think, I just want my child. Even if it costs me everything, I’ll fight to the end!"

Qin Muchuan was taken aback. There was a certain admiration in his eyes. "Of course, I can’t deprive you of your right to appeal. Then let’s settle this through legal procedures!"

Having said that, Qin Muchuan turned around and left indifferently.

At that moment, the waiter came to serve the dishes. Several dishes were placed on the table. "Madam, the dishes are ready!"

"Check, please!" Lin Xiangwan said gloomily.

"Ah?" The waiter looked at the untouched plates, his mouth agape in surprise. "Check? Not eating?"

Lin Xiangwan nodded, left some money, and walked out of the private room.

This was the most wasteful she’d ever been. If possible, she wouldn’t have wanted to be so wasteful; but she just couldn’t eat anything.

Not long after she had left the restaurant, she received a call. Surprisingly, it was from Shen Hanqian, whom she hadn’t heard from in a long time.

Lin Xiangwan hurriedly picked up, momentarily forgetting her troubles. "Qianqian, you’re so heartless. Why are you only contacting me now?"

"Wanwan, how dare you say that to me! Why didn’t you contact me?" Shen Hanqian retorted indignantly, then laughed. "Hehe, Junjun mentioned seeing you a few days ago, said you were in Jiangcheng. I just happened to be home and thought of visiting you in Jiangcheng! I’ve only heard rumors that you were here, but no one had your contact information!"

"Hehe..." Lin Xiangwan gave an embarrassed laugh. "After graduation, I was busy starting my own business and overlooked many things. Besides, you weren’t in B City either. I couldn’t find you every time I went back!"

"Yeah, I’ve been in Yu City all along!" Mentioning this place, Shen Hanqian couldn’t help but feel oppressed again.

In Yu City, she had had too many unhappy experiences.

"Hey, let’s not talk on the phone anymore. Where are you? I’ll come find you!" Lin Xiangwan asked enthusiastically.

"Hmm, I’m not very familiar with this area, but okay, let me see where I am?" Shen Hanqian spent quite some time figuring out her location before giving an address.

As soon as Lin Xiangwan heard this, she understood. "Alright, just stay there and don’t move, I’ll be there soon!"

"OK!"

Shen Hanqian was located right in the city center. It took Lin Xiangwan over twenty minutes to find her.

Approaching her from behind, Lin Xiangwan patted her shoulder.

"Ah..." With a cry of surprise, Shen Hanqian turned around. "You’re terrible, Lin Xiangwan, sneaking up on me like that!"

"Hehe..." Lin Xiangwan laughed. "Hey, old classmate, you haven’t changed at all over all these years!"

Shen Hanqian glanced at her own figure and touched her cheek, indulging in her narcissism. "Hehe, not bad, huh?"

"Hehe, you’re just the same!" Lin Xiangwan couldn’t help laughing again.

In fact, Shen Hanqian indeed had the right to be narcissistic. With a great figure and temperament, and knowing how to dress well, she would undoubtedly stand out in any crowd.

Shen Hanqian looked at her enviously. "You too, you’re still as slim as ever! You maintain a great figure without any exercise or dieting!"

Indeed, she was envious of Lin Xiangwan. Shen must maintain strict control over her diet and exercise in order to keep her figure good. But Lin Xiangwan was one of those people who could have a good figure even if she was covered in fat.

"Alright, enough with the mutual compliments! You like spicy food, right? There’s a good Sichuan restaurant up ahead!" Lin Xiangwan suggested.
