Chapter 984: Chapter 1010: Planning for the Future

Xia Yi was not wrong; it was she who had erred. So, she didn’t care about being scolded, but she did care how others viewed Xia Yi.

If he continued to carry her surname, he would never be able to shake off the label of being an illegitimate child.

He would face the same cold stares and suffer the same insults as her, something she could not bear to witness.

Therefore, she diligently paved the way for him, not for any reason other than hoping he could grow up healthy.

"So what about after he acknowledges his ancestors and returns to the clan? Do you also expect him to claim a share of the Huo Family’s wealth like every other child there?" People are always greedy.

"Don’t tell me you don’t need it. Look, at first, didn’t you just want the person? Once you had him, you wanted love, and when you got love, you desired fame, and with fame comes power, doesn’t it?" Everyone is like this.

Isn’t she the same? She regretted her actions despite claiming she wouldn’t during the deed.

She was afraid of seeing Jun Mochan’s self-reproaching gaze, afraid of his pitying looks.

"Since Ranran never thought about giving in, why did you ask to meet me today?" She thought she was going to collaborate with her.

If it wasn’t for collaboration, she didn’t see what else they could possibly discuss.

Rehash old times? She and she had never had any past relationships; they weren’t close before and now had nothing in common.

"You said you had a way to save Brother Cheng, and I wanted to hear it," Ye Ranran wasn’t shy about her intentions.

"Why should I tell you?" Nobody gets what they want without paying a price; the world doesn’t work that conveniently.

Ye Ranran looked down at the coffee in her hands; her delicate brows and eyes danced with sunlight, hazy and incredibly charming: "Actually, I don’t want to threaten you, but as you know, my family can’t live in peace. If you still want to profit from this situation, I don’t mind dealing with you first."

Towards the end, her normally gentle eyes turned sharp, even her graceful demeanor became somewhat imposing.

"Is this how Ranran usually negotiates? This could easily lead to complications, you know?" Xia Qing pulled out a voice recorder from her bag.

"You might want to quit playing with what remains of your tricks; you might as well see what your recorder has captured."

Xia Qing pressed the voice recorder, only to hear rustling sounds; it captured nothing.

Xia Qing finally looked squarely at Ye Ranran: "I might have underestimated you, but I advise Ranran to watch her words. It wouldn’t be good if something happened to my son and the blame fell on you."

This was, in a way, also a veiled threat.

"What you want, I can’t give you, but if you aren’t too greedy, you and your child can have a peaceful environment, isn’t that good enough?" He now had a father’s love and could change his last name to Huo.

What else could she be dissatisfied with?

"Or are you saying you were only after the money initially?"

"Brother Cheng lost his position, and the Xia family was ruined; I had to plan for the future, didn’t I?" On one hand, it was for her son’s future; on the other, naturally, it was for the Xia family.

"Xiao Shi once followed you to A City, and returned severely wounded, seemingly by Ranran’s hand?" Xia Qing mentioned casually.

Upon hearing Xia Shi’s name, Ye Ranran’s expression was as if she had swallowed a fly: "Hmm, I did it."

In fact, it was Jun Mochan who had done it, but spouses are one entity, what difference did it make between him and her?

"Ranran’s heart is indeed cruel; Jing Tian is now exiled, banned from returning for five years." Exile meant serving in the army in the harshest, coldest places where unrest and violent pillaging were common occurrences.
