The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex - Chapter 382

Chapter 382: Let Us Know What Your Conditions Are

The castle finally quietened down after Li Qin and her maids left. He Xiyan lay on the bed, looking a little frail since she had just been discharged and cold sweat constantly beaded on her forehead.

Ye Hao personally saw to her care. He fetched a basin of warm water, wrung the handkerchief dry and helped her wiped away the perspiration from her forehead and neck.

“It’s okay, they’re gone now, Yan Yan…” he said as he held her hand tightly, his eyes full of concern. This was the woman he would be spending the rest of his life with, so he couldn’t bring himself to be happy when he saw how unhappy she was.

Even though their princess had now come home with them.

“She’ll be back,” He Xiyan shook her head helplessly and frowned deeply. She knew that once Yuan Yuan’s existence was discovered, the Mo family would constantly harass them. Today was only the first day and who knows how long this could drag on for. Xia Yuwei’s son was not Mo Yixuan’s child, so she could imagine how hard Li Qin would fight to bring Yuan Yuan over to the Mo family.

“The next time she comes, I’ll get the security guards to chase her away directly,” Ye Hao said coldly. He would show sympathy next time and whether the irritating old woman lived or died did not concern him. As for Yuan Yuan, he was his son in name, so he would not give him away to the Mo family. They should not even entertain that idea.

He Xiyan sighed. She knew that this was not the way to handle this situation. Yuan Yuan could not continue to be cooped up within the castle and he would need to go out one day. In the future, he would also need to go to kindergarten and go to school, so the Mo family could seize on these opportunities to meet with him. They might even find a way to kidnap her child.

“Ye Hao… should we allow them to visit the child once a month?” He Xiyan looked at Ye Hao. Despite her conflicting emotions, she wanted to discuss the best way to resolve it.

Ye Hao rejected her suggestion immediately.

“No! We can’t let them disrupt our life in the castle. In any case, Li Qin seemed like a lunatic, so she’ll definitely turn the entire castle upside-down if we allow her to enter,” he said, worried that Li Qin might come up with some delusional ideas.

“What should we do then?” He Xiyan gripped the blankets tightly. She was terribly upset and felt that she must have owed them something in her past life for the Mo family to come after her this relentlessly even though it has been more than a year since she left them.

Her phone beeped with text notifications and this beeping sound rang constantly for five to six times. These messages were all sent from Wu Xiaomin’s WeChat account.

He Xiyan picked up her phone and just as she expected, these messages were all sent by Li Qin who had sent a long string of texts and each text was an entire paragraph. She read through the texts with a frown on her face.

The first text read as follows, ‘He Xiyan, I’m Yuan Yuan’s grandmother. I admit that I didn’t treat you well while you were at the Mo family and for that, I apologize. However, Yuan Yuan carries the Mo family bloodline, so you don’t have the right to decide who gets to raise him. Furthermore, who could you allow the child to adopt the Ye family name and acknowledge someone else as his father? Even if we didn’t treat you well, you should take out your grievances on me and not on the child.’

The second text continued, ‘Let us know what your conditions are for you to return the child to us. Name your price and we’ll do our best to meet it.’

The third text, ‘Let us sit down together to discuss this matter. He Xiyan, thank you for giving birth to Yuan Yuan but we definitely want this child to return to the Mo family. As for yourself, if you wish to, you could return anytime together with Ye Hao’s daughter. Yixuan has never been able to forget you. If you return, we promise to treat you well. Think about it, for the sake for the child.’

….

He Xiyan didn’t manage to read the rest of the text because Ye Hao chose that moment to snatch her phone away.
