"Qin Yi, name your price?" Han Ning looked at Qin Yi with disdain and contempt in his eyes.
Qin Yi looked at Xia Yanbing. Naturally, he could see that Xia Yanbing had been somewhat swayed by Han Ning just now. After all, compared to himself, a cripple, Han Ning was too outstanding.
Qin Yi didn’t blame Xia Yanbing. Han Ning was young, wealthy, and smooth with sweet words. Xia Yanbing, even though she had a cool personality, was after all a woman, needing a shoulder, especially since she had been too tired recently and her psychological defenses were not as strong as before. Han Ning chose the perfect time.
Moreover, Xia Yanbing didn’t marry him out of love, but out of sympathy or pity. She had the right to pursue love.
Qin Yi had never thought of using the fact that he saved Xia Yanbing to bind her to him for life. However, he also had the right to love Xia Yanbing, and he was confident that he could make Xia Yanbing fall in love with him.
"Alright, I agree with you!" Qin Yi said calmly.
Xia Yanbing suddenly looked up at Qin Yi. Even though she didn’t have any feelings for Qin Yi, hearing Qin Yi giving up on her for money still made her a bit angry and resentful.
Xia Yujiang and Dong Jinsu looked at Qin Yi with disdain, their faces showing undisguised mockery. However, seeing Qin Yi being so tactful, they didn’t say much more? They were actually afraid of provoking Qin Yi, worried that he might change his mind.
Han Ning said contemptuously, "So, how much are you planning to ask for?"
"One billion." Qin Yi said calmly.
Han Ning’s face stiffened, his eyes viciously staring at Qin Yi, mocking, "You dare to ask for a lion’s share. Do you think you’re worth that much?"
Qin Yi’s gaze was indifferent as water, and he said calmly, "Didn’t you just say you were willing to give up everything for Xiaobing? Why are you going back on your word now?"
Han Ning’s face turned cold as water, disdainfully said, "I am willing to give up everything for Xiaobing, but not for you. Why do you think you’re worth one billion?"
"Because your Han Group is worth one billion, if more, you wouldn’t be able to take it out." Qin Yi looked amused, with a hint of mischief in his eyes.
"You worthless fool, daring to ask for so much, aren’t you afraid of dying from greed? I’m telling you, if you’re willing to divorce cleanly, maybe I’ll give you a hundred thousand. If not, I won’t let you get a penny and kick you out of the Xia Family." Dong Jinsu cursed out loud.
Han Ning stared at Qin Yi with sinister eyes, anger growing in his heart. Qin Yi was obviously toying with him just now. This worthless fool dared to provoke him; he was really asking for death.
Qin Yi looked at Han Ning quietly, speaking indifferently, "Now, listen to me. You better carve my words into your bones because the consequences of forgetting them will be severe."
Han Ning was slightly stunned, then sneered contemptuously, "Are you threatening me?"
"You can think of it that way." Qin Yi said calmly.
"Then I want to hear how you plan to threaten me?" Han Ning’s face was full of disdain.
Qin Yi said calmly, "Han Ning, don’t come here anymore in the future. My wife is not someone you can covet. It’s getting late, you can leave now."
Han Ning’s mouth fell open, full of disbelief. This worthless fool actually dared to tell him to get lost.
"What kind of person do you think you are? When did it become your turn to speak in this family? Telling Xiaohan to leave, I think the one who should get lost is you." Dong Jinsu roared.
Qin Yi calmly looked at Xia Yanbing, his mouth curving into a gentle smile, then turned his wheelchair around, leaving everyone with a back view.
"Han Ning, get out of here. I will protect my wife."
Qin Yi’s voice rang out, full of dominance. After those words, the sound of a door closing immediately followed.
Dong Jinsu and the others were all stunned.
"This worthless fool... this worthless fool actually dared to be so presumptuous in front of us, he’s really crossed the line." Dong Jinsu screamed.
Han Ning’s face turned livid, Qin Yi’s last words made his anger boil.
"Hmph, this is the fine husband you found, a worthless fool who dares to be so presumptuous in front of his elders?" Xia Yujiang looked at Xia Yanbing angrily.
Xia Yanbing lowered her head in silence, actually being taken aback by Qin Yi’s final domineering words.
"Xiaohan, don’t be angry, this worthless fool seems to have lost his mind. I’ll teach him a good lesson tomorrow." Dong Jinsu said to Han Ning with a smile on her face.
Han Ning immediately became humble, saying, "Auntie, I can actually understand. After all, Qin Yi is also a man, and it’s normal to get angry at this kind of thing. However, he is quite boastful and lacks manners. If I dared to speak like that in front of my elders, my dad would have slapped me long ago."
"As expected of a high-end individual returned from abroad, such a mind and grace cannot be compared to that worthless fool. That worthless fool grew up without a father or mother, naturally, no one disciplined him. Don’t worry, Auntie and Uncle absolutely support you and Xiaobing’s affair."
Xia Yujiang nodded, "Xiaohan, don’t worry! I’ll make sure that worthless fool divorces Xiaobing tomorrow. I run this family. When did it become a place for a worthless fool to be insolent?"
Han Ning sneered in his heart, Qin Yi, you worthless fool, fighting with me? You really think you’re worthy?
"With Uncle and Auntie’s support, I’m relieved. It’s getting late, you should rest early, I’ll head back first."
After saying this, Han Ning looked at Xia Yanbing, speaking tenderly, "Xiaobing, I’ll head back for now. Take care of yourself, and remember to tell me if you need any help. Even if you don’t want to marry me, I’ll do my best to help you."
"Xiaohan, it’s getting late, why not stay at home tonight and not go back?" Dong Jinsu suddenly said.
Xia Yujiang was slightly stunned, also chiming in, "Yes, yes, yes, it’s not safe to drive at night, why not stay over for tonight?"
Han Ning felt a rush of warmth in his heart, hopefully looked at Xia Yanbing.
"Mom and Dad, Manager Xia is a busy man with lots to do." Xia Yanbing said calmly.
"Even so, another night wouldn’t hurt..."
"Mom, Qin Yi and I haven’t divorced yet, it’s inconvenient for Manager Xia to stay at home, best that he returns." Xia Yanbing interrupted Dong Jinsu.
Han Ning felt a twinge of disappointment, but considering there’s always another day, with Dong Jinsu and Xia Yujiang’s assistance, Xia Yanbing would be his sooner or later. As an experienced player in love affairs with countless conquests, he naturally knew that following Xia Yanbing’s lead was more advantageous than sticking around shamelessly.
"Uncle, Auntie, I indeed have some things to get busy with. I’ll also go back and discuss with my dad to see how we can help the Xia Group." Han Ning clearly knew Dong Jinsu and Xia Yujiang’s weaknesses, using the excuse of helping the Xia Group as the best bait.
As expected, Dong Jinsu and Xia Yujiang didn’t persuade Han Ning to stay any longer, instead showered him with all sorts of praises, flattering him until he broke into flowers, and saw him off with smiling faces all the way.
"Xiaobing, don’t just stand there. Hurry up and see Xiaohan off." Dong Jinsu shouted at the door.
"No need to come, it’s windy outside. I’d be worried if Xiaobing got sick. Uncle, Auntie, please go back too."
Xia Yanbing didn’t see Han Ning off; instead, she looked up towards the second floor. Qin Yi had indeed behaved like a man tonight, but in the end, he wasn’t the shoulder she could rely on. Xia Yanbing sighed slightly, didn’t return to her room, but went to the guest room to sleep.
