Chapter 741: Chapter 741: Price Hike upon Seating (3)_1

"Xiaowei, how can you speak about your mother like that?" She sat down on the ground with a thud, seemingly looking at Ruan Wei with a heartbreak that knew no bounds.

But Ruan Wei truly didn’t even want to spare her a glance, feeling that if he did, the surging urge to vomit in his chest would have him throwing up the next second.

"Xiaowei, come here," the Ruanlin Family instructed in a stern voice, now aware of Ruan Wei’s attitude.

Ruan Wei immediately walked over to her side. Liao Zhaoji’s reflex was to chase after him, but she was frightened into stillness by the Ruanlin Family’s fierce gaze.

Over there, Ruan Jianguo and Ruan Jiandang had already come over.

This matter was to be resolved privately, as it involved the custody of the children. Aside from the few delinquents who would be detained for fifteen days.

The old man also approached Liao Zhaoji’s side, showed a flattering smile to the police, and then took her to a corner. The two of them whispered back and forth, not revealing what they were discussing.

A moment later, Liao Zhaoji handed the child over to the old man and came over.

She asked Ruan Wei, "Xiaowei, do you really not want to go with your mother?"

Ruan Wei shook his head resolutely.

Liao Zhaoji probably realized that it was hopeless by now. The Ruan Family was not something she could contend with. Even if she truly attempted to wrestle the child away, it was not certain she could win. In the end, she withdrew her gaze from Ruan Wei and stepped in front of Ruan Jiandang, saying, "If the child is unwilling to go with me, there’s nothing I can do, although I really love him."

"Get to the point," Ruan Jiandang urged impatiently.

Liao Zhaoji’s face alternated between shades of green and white. After pondering for a few seconds, she finally said, "I can give up the child, but my daughter has fallen seriously ill and needs money for medical bills. If you give us the money, I won’t want Ruan Wei anymore."

Liao Zhaoji’s voice wasn’t low; perhaps she even intended for Ruan Wei to hear since she didn’t lower her voice, resulting in everyone in the room hearing what she just said.

As soon as her words fell, Ruan Wei’s face turned pale, devoid of any color.

Ruan Jianguo, on the other hand, wasn’t surprised since he had already known her intentions.

Wanting the child was true, knowing she couldn’t get the child and opting for money instead was also true!

He had just discussed this matter with Ruan Jiandang—to simply use money to sever Liao Zhaoji’s entanglements. Of course, they would draft a formal agreement, with everything in black and white, so she wouldn’t have any reason to hassle them in the future.

However, it made a completely different impact coming from them as opposed to her.

Ruan Jianguo even couldn’t bear to look at his nephew’s face anymore.

Ruan Jiandang, having prepared himself mentally, simply asked her, "How much money."

Liao Zhaoji glanced at Ruan Jianguo. Sometimes she really regretted her decisions, having not anticipated that the big room would do so well after she left the Ruan Family. They lived in an apartment, drove a car, even owned a couple of storefronts in the city.

She knew Ruan Jianguo was a man of loyalty, decent to his brothers; he wouldn’t mistreat Ruan Jiandang. The fact that he had recently built a flat while the other two rooms had constructed buildings was telling of the considerable money the four brothers must have made.

Sometimes she thought, if only she hadn’t divorced, how comfortable her life would be now—no worries about food and clothes, unlike her current tight and abusive daily life.

But regrets were futile; the only thing she could do was to seize the opportunity at hand.

She assessed her current salary, thought of Ruan Jianguo who surely didn’t lack money, and figured even if Ruan Jiandang didn’t have enough, Jianguo would help out. After hesitating for a couple of seconds, she said, "One thousand."

One thousand
