Chapter 1638: Guan Queye’s Voice Recording
Ye Youyou was so enraged that smoke was almost coming out of her ears. She yelled, “Did you ever treat me as a daughter all these years? Now that you need money, you keep referring to me as your daughter! Ye Tian, you are so shameless!”
Ye Tian couldn’t be bothered whether others labeled her as shameless or not.
Right now, she needed cash, cold hard cash.
When Ye Youyou saw that Ye Tian wasn’t responding to her, she reached out to tug Li Jinnan on his arm and said, “Don’t agree to her terms. Just the repair fee for the car is enough to make her go broke. If she won’t pay up, we’ll just let her rot in prison!”
At the very least, the prison provided free meals.
Regardless of the circumstances, Ye Tian would never starve to death inside.
Perhaps upon her release, she’d be successfully rehabilitated and possess a sincere change of heart.
Other issues aside, Ye Tian’s horrible temper needed to go. Ye Youyou would only consider taking care of her after that had been solved.
Ye Youyou had made up her mind. She directed her eyes at Li Jinnan as her brows furrowed together.
Unexpectedly, Li Jinnan did not bother to even glance her way. His eyes stayed on Ye Tian the entire time. He said, “Alright. I’ll agree to it.”
Ye Youyou panicked when she heard him and interjected, “Are you crazy? You’re being swindled!”
Li Jinnan reached out to rest her hand atop hers and said, “She’s right. If I want to marry you, it goes without saying that I should give your parents a bride price. A mere $140,000 in exchange for a wife isn’t a bad deal at all.”
Ye Youyou refused to accept that explanation when she heard it and retorted, “You’ll be the death of me!”
Ye Tian, on the other hand, was elated. Her originally tensed expressions suddenly relaxed.
Looking at Li Jinnan, Ye Tian was full of approval as she said, “You said it yourself, give me some proof. Come, let me make a recording of it! I won’t have you going back on your word later!”
As she spoke, Ye Tian took out a voice recorder and walked over to face Li Jinnan.
Ye Youyou was enraged and reached out to smack her hand away.
Ye Tian doggedly returned her hand to its original position and said, “Hurry, Son-in-law. Once it’s recorded, I’ll give you what you want immediately.”
Ye Youyou viewed the whole situation as nothing more than a scam and refuted, “No!”
Ye Tian began to get annoyed. “Are you even my daughter? How dare you take the side of an outsider?”
Li Jinnan reached out to pull Ye Youyou behind him. He took the voice recorder from Ye Tian’s hand. He put it to his lips and solemnly said, “I, Li Jinnan, have promised Madam Ye Tian today that I will give her $140,000 as a bride price for Ye Youyou. Over.”
Once the recording was done, he tossed the voice-recorder back to her.
When Ye Tian heard it, she was still unsatisfied and said, “That’s not enough. Say that again. This time, add an oath that if you go back on your word, you’ll get struck by lightning and die a horrible death!”
Ye Youyou was incensed. “Don’t you cross the line!”
“Make the oath!” Ye Tian pestered as she shoved the recorder back in Li Jinnan’s face.
Li Jinnan’s eyes darkened, but he did as she asked.
Ye Tian replayed the recording and listened to it a few times before she was sure that there was no mistake. She returned the voice recorder to her bag.
Immediately after that, she passed Li Jinnan a small ceramic pendant.
The pendant was in the image of a Psyduck. It held its head in its hands and looked cute.
Ye Tian pressed a small button at the bottom of the pendant. A clear recording immediately played back.
“Daddy, I just received some bad news.”
It was Guan Queye’s voice.
It was evident that her words were meant for Guan Yanhong.
“After all these years, the one that Shen Luo’an loves the most is still Ye Youyou. So he… he… He has run away from the wedding.”
Guan Queye’s voice sounded desolate and moved away from the recorder for a moment before she continued. “Deep down inside, he still can’t bring himself to forget Ye Youyou. He only treats me as a little sister. Ha! A little sister?”
