Chapter 420: If I knew it would be like this, why did I do it in the first place?

Outside the door were Queen’s employees, within the phone tormented by Xie Yu, now both the company and the villa were in others’ hands, and she still owed a mountain of online loan credit card debts.

Ziqing sat on the carpet, cried for a long time before she, tears streaming over her face, lifted her head and said to Yan’s mother, "I’ll marry, I’ll marry, isn’t that enough?"

After listening, Yan’s mother went into the room and made a phone call. After coming out, she said, "If you agree today to go out and get engaged, he will take care of the debt-collecting staff at the door. Register the marriage in seven days, and he will manage all your debts. If the health check is fine, and you give birth to a son, then congratulations, you will get half of his assets."

"I’m going..."

Initially, to avoid marrying an old man, Ziqing had pushed Shi Xiu out, but three years later, she still couldn’t escape this fate.

"Write a guarantee, that way, I can explain things to that group outside the door."

Yan’s mother managed to appease Queen’s employees demonstrating at the door, telling them they could get their hard-earned pay in the afternoon. Afterwards, taking a fully dressed Ziqing, she went to that president’s company.

The first time Ziqing saw the man, she felt like vomiting, but Yan’s mother’s gaze stopped her.

The man was fat and balding.

Though he was dressed in a suit, his appearance alone was enough to make people keep their distance.

The man had his secretary take them to the reception room, and ten minutes later, the boss entered the reception room. After sizing Ziqing up and down, he said, "Have you been waiting long? Did my secretary get the documents to you that I asked for?"

Yan’s mother glanced at Ziqing, nodded her head, and with a smile said, "We’ve seen them."

"Good that you’ve seen them, any objections?"

"If it’s a normal marriage, why can’t it be public?" Ziqing asked discontentedly.

"I too care about my reputation, you know. Your reputation is so poor now, it’s already good enough that I am willing to take you in, and you still have complaints?" the man smiled.

"If I give birth to a daughter, I just get the minimum living security, but there’s a reward for birthing a son. What if I just can’t bear a son?"

The man shrugged his shoulders and continued, "I want a woman to bear me a son. If you can’t do that, why shouldn’t I cut my losses timely?"

"Am I just a breeding machine?"

"You still dream of being a princess meeting a prince and living a fairy tale life? You should look at yourself, whether you have that standing. Do you know how much money you owe outside? If you feel this agreement is forced, you don’t have to sign it. I’m wealthy, and there are many women out there who would bear my children. If it wasn’t for your cousin, do you think I would bother with you? Either sign or leave."

At this moment, Ziqing’s heart sank to the bottom, because she knew. Once she signed this agreement, she was utterly selling herself. Though nominally the boss’s wife, her position in the house might not even compare to a maid’s.

But did she have any other option?

...

In the afternoon, the man’s legal team, accompanying mother and daughter, dealt with Queen’s employees’ wages, artists’ contracts, and partners’ compensation issues. Logically, Queen should have declared bankruptcy by now, but Ziqing still owed a million to the loan company.

Specifically, it was two million, one million mortgaged by Queen, and the other million was mortgaged against her father’s half of the property.

However, knowing there was still this debt of two million, the man simply refused to shell out that money.

"A bankrupt company, why bother with it anymore? Also, the Yan house isn’t worth much, your mother-in-law can just live with us." In other words, there was no chance for Ziqing to even ransom Queen back.

As the company declared bankruptcy, all contracts with artists were also naturally dissolved. But to avoid disputes, Queen’s artists still had the major lawyers issue labor termination proofs, including Gu Yingnan. She personally made this trip just to get An Lan’s termination contract.

"If you already knew this would be the outcome, why did you do it in the first place?" Gu Yingnan sat across Yan Ziqing and asked, "I heard you’re getting married soon, congratulations to you."

"Are you here just to disgust me?"

As Yan Ziqing signed the document, she asked through gritted teeth.

"Disgusting is not the word, but I heard your soon-to-be husband keeps several mistresses, none of whom can bear him a son, I’m just concerned for you."

"Where did you get that information?"

"Helping you handle such a large debt, and even bringing a professional team, just a little check, and isn’t everything clear? Throwing a tantrum at me is pointless. Your circle of friends must be laughing their heads off about this, right? But to them, you’ve always been a joke." Gu Yingnan took the termination contract of An Lan from her hand, "Wouldn’t it have been much better to sign earlier? I’ll thank you on An Lan’s behalf. Also, An Lan asked me to tell you, we’ll meet again."

Yan Ziqing clenched her fists tightly, yet she had no way to counter Gu Yingnan’s mockery and sarcasm.

After obtaining the document, Gu Yingnan made a call to Shi Lan, "Congratulations, you’re finally free. Should I courier the stuff to you?"

"Just bring it over, I’ve paid for it," Shi Lan said.

"Sure, since I’m out already, give me an address."

Subsequently, Shi Lan sent the address of Jinlan No.1 Courtyard to Gu Yingnan.

...

As for Yan Ziqing, while she was in the middle of handling the termination contract, she received a call from Xie Yu. Before Xie Yu could speak, Yan Ziqing said, "I don’t have time for your call now, if it’s about money, call back later."

"Oh, it’s not about money, I just wanted to say, there was a mistake with the paternity test, we are not siblings, we have no relation at all. I feel really bad for troubling you these last few days. Let’s never meet again!"

"What did you say?" Yan Ziqing shouted, seizing the moment before Xie Yu could hang up.

"I said we have no relation!"

"You bastard! Son of a bitch!"

"What? Didn’t you enjoy the pleasure of having a brother? I’ve learned all your tricks."

Thinking of the last few days being blackmailed by Xie Yu in the elevator, Yan Ziqing closed her eyes and suppressed her anger, "You’d better hope I don’t find you."

"I also wish you a happy future," Xie Yu said before hanging up the phone. He donated all the money he had collected from Yan Ziqing in the past few days to the orphanage, which was his way of doing good for her.

Yan Ziqing marrying that bald man...

Was much more miserable than having him as a ’brother’.

Miss Shi originally wanted to add this buff to let Yan Ziqing experience double the pleasure, but in the end, she decided to let Yan Ziqing fully endure the harsh treatment of the bald man’s household.

As miserable as Yan Ziqing was being abused, it was what she deserved, but Xie Yu has precious time, to think he was wasting it on such a person was truly not worth it.

The news of Queen’s debt being settled soon went viral.

Among it, netizens were most concerned about An Lan’s contract.
