Grandma Su paused. “This is something that concerns our family. It’s rude of you to butt your head into it!”
“I am a part of Qin Ya’s family,” Lin Xinyan replied calmly.
With that, she turned to Qin Ya. “There’s no need to pack your stuff. I’ll buy you new ones when we get back.”
Lin Xinyan cast her gaze at Su Zhan. “You’ve thoroughly disappointed me. Qin Ya’s an accommodating person. She gave you an inch, and now you want a mile.”
By then, Qin Ya had calmed down. Without any anger or impulse clouding her words, she said to Su Zhan, “I’ve thought it through. All you need to do now is come see me with the divorce papers.”
With that, she took Lin Xinyan’s hand. “Let’s go.”
Lin Xinyan spared no time to help her out the door.
Once they got off the elevator, Lin Xinyan called the chauffeur to meet them at the gate. He had already reached when they got there and had opened the car door for them.
“Take us back,” Lin Xinyan said to the chauffeur.
Back at the house, Grandma Su was taken aback at how things turned out.
Su Zhan had been crouching in front of the sofa, but when Qin Ya left, he lost all his strength and slid onto the floor.
“Su Zhan, I’m not trying to stick my nose into your relationship. All I want is for you to have a child.” Grandma Su was so obsessed with Su Zhan having an heir that she would not let it go. Even when Qin Ya asked for a divorce, she did not stop to consider Su Zhan’s feelings.
Su Zhan looked up with reddened eyes. “Have a child?”
Grandma Su said, “Xue’s still single, and she said she’s willing to give you a child for a million.”
Chen Xue lowered her head.
By then, Su Zhan was already numb to Grandma Su’s outrageous doings.
He gave a low chuckle. Setting his gaze on Chen Xue, he muttered, “You’re willing to?”
Chen Xue kept her head down without uttering a single word.
“You’re scaring her.” As she stared at Su Zhan’s eerie-looking smile, Grandma Su had to admit she was slightly afraid of Su Zhan then.
“Was this why you specifically looked for a young helper?” Su Zhan stood up slowly and shakily. “What if I refuse?”
“Why don’t you understand? It isn’t that big of a deal. Xue just needs to get pregnant and you can continue to live together with Ya. This way, you won’t need to divorce Ya, and you’ll even have a child.” Grandma Su felt that this arrangement would result in the best-case scenario for everyone.
Su Zhan ground his teeth. “Have a child? Sure, fantastic! This plan is great!”
Crash!
Su Zhan turned over the coffee table in a fit of rage. Glass shattered and water spilled all over the floor.
Grandma Su turned white from fear while Chen Xue took a step back, gawping at the scene before her in shock.
It took a long time for Grandma Su to come back to her senses.
“Su Zhan.” Grandma Su’s voice was shaky from fear. “Calm down.”
“I am calm. After all, you’ve laid out such a good plan for me. Not only did you get me a woman, but you’re also concerned about my lack of an heir. I can’t even thank you enough!”
Su Zhan strode towards Grandma Su and looked into her eyes, placing his hands on the sides of her wheelchair.
Grandma Su put up a tough front.
Just then, Chen Xue uttered, “My family’s poor. I really am willing to be your surrogate.” She returned to where she originally stood. “As long as I get the money, I won’t make a fuss of it.”
Su Zhan turned to look at her.
Chen Xue did not shrink even under Su Zhan’s intimidating gaze.
“All you need is money?” The corners of Su Zhan’s mouth curved up.
“Yes, I’m being serious.” Chen Xue looked genuine.
Su Zhan sneered. “Oh, so you approached Grandma asking to be my surrogate?”
“No, that’s not it…”
“I’m the one who suggested she do it,” Grandma Su spoke up. It was true. Since Chen Xue was young and decent-looking, she asked just to see how Chen Xue would feel about it, and she actually agreed.
Su Zhan held back the anger that spread through his entire body. He sat down on the sofa and crossed his legs. He glanced at the overturned coffee table and looked at Chen Xue with an air of scrutiny. “Where did you graduate from?”
Chen Xue averted her gaze. “I didn’t go to university.”
“What are your talents?”
“I’m good at taking care of people.” Chen Xue thought that Su Zhan was asking these questions because he was seriously considering her as a surrogate. If I can earn one million from doing this, I’ll quit this line of work and open a boutique.
The thought of continuing to stay at the Su family’s house had never once crossed her mind. She knew that she would not be welcomed if she stayed there even after the surrogacy, since she knew her place as a helper.
It’s not that bad for me, either… He’s attractive and rich, and I can earn one million in just ten months.
“Do you know how to take care of men?” Su Zhan was expressionless but his words were sharp.
“Su Zhan…”
“Grandma, I’m talking to her so don’t interrupt me.” Without even sparing Grandma Su a glance, Su Zhan wiped his hand on a handkerchief before tossing it away casually.
“I can learn how to,” Chen Xue mumbled with her eyes stuck to the ground.
“Haha, you say you’ll learn? You think you can easily earn one million with just your uterus?” Su Zhan sized her up and down with contempt. “You’re not intelligent, nor are you attractive. You’re just like a slab of cheap meat at the market; you’re definitely not worth one million. But if you really want to sell yourself, I can give it some thought. High-quality pork costs seventy per kilogram, so for you, I can pay seventy-two. How does that sound?”
Chen Xue bit her lip. “There’s no need to be so rude. Grandma Su was the one who suggested it. All I wanted to do was help.”
“Oh, so now you’re saying I should thank you?” Su Zhan’s anger rose up in a flash. He kicked the coffee table away. “Get the f*ck out! And you’ll be hearing from my lawyer!”
“W-What did I do?” Chen Xue could not believe that she was being chased out.
“Su Zhan, calm down.” Grandma Su did not expect this either. “All I’m asking is for you to fulfill my dream of having a grandchild,” she tried to persuade him.
Su Zhan picked up his jacket and walked towards Chen Xue with a cold look in his eyes. “Why are you still here? Do you want to go to jail? If so, I’ll happily send you in.”
Chen Xue had never seen such a somber expression on Su Zhan’s face. Even though she was scared, she still put up a strong front. “It’s not like I broke the law. You can’t just send me to jail as you please.”
