Meng Yan opened the door and entered the house unimpeded.
As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Zhu Jingyi sitting on the sofa, calmly making tea.
"What's the matter? Didn't you say you want to sever ties with our Zhu Jiaen? What are you going to do when you come back?" There was a hint of resentment in Zhu Jingyi's tone.
Hearing this, Meng Yan did not reply. He walked to his side quietly and sat on the sofa.
"Where is Duo'er?"
"Duo'er is my granddaughter. If you break up with the Zhu family, we will naturally bring her back."
"Duo'er is now part of the Zhu family and has nothing to do with you, Meng Yan." Zhu Jingyi said to himself and poured a cup of tea for Meng Yan.
"Where is Duo'er?"
"I warned you, if you break up with the Zhu family, we will fight for Duo'er's matter. It's you who didn't listen to the advice."
"Where is Duo'er?"
"No comment."
Meng Yan suppressed the urge to throw the tea cup to the ground. He couldn't turn against the Zhu family now.
Based on their moral bottom line, the quarrel here irritated him, and he might never want to see Duo'er again in his life.
The negotiations came to a standstill, and there was a hint of embarrassment in the silent air.
"Alas." Meng Yan sighed.
"Okay, I won't ask where Duo'er is. How is Duo'er's physical condition now?"
Zhu Jingyi chuckled
"No comment."
Meng Yan stared at Zhu Jingyi's nonchalant eyes and said calmly.
"Zhu Jingyi, remember, if anything goes wrong with Duo'er, I will never be done with your Zhu family."
"Hahahaha." Upon hearing this, Zhu Jingyi suddenly laughed.
"Meng Yan, are you threatening me?"
"I persuaded you to come back with good intentions, gave you a chance to work for my Zhu family, and gave you a chance to show your talents, but you slandered me like this at my birthday banquet, you ignorant guy!"
"what on earth do you want?"
"You haven't answered my question yet." Meng Yan didn't care about Zhu Jingyi's series of barbs.
"How is Duo'er's physical condition?"
"Duoer Duoer! It would be great if a man could inherit our family's legacy!"
"She's a woman! She's also a medicine jar! Her surname is a loser, why are you so concerned!"
"Can't we just let her die in the hospital? The worst thing is that you and Zhu Siying will have another child!" Zhu Jingyi was furious.
Hearing this, Meng Yan shut up.
Since Zhu Jingyi can say such things, it would be a waste of time to talk to him about anything other than money.
"Tell me, what do you want?" Meng Yan's voice contained no emotion.
"My request is very simple, which is the agreement I listed for you." Zhu Jingyi leaned back on the sofa and looked at Meng Yan with a playful smile.
"Do you agree or not?"
"If you don't agree, then please go back. You are not welcome in the Zhu family."
"You never want to see her again in this life."
"You can go to court to file a lawsuit, or you can write articles online to expose us."
"But the court will definitely award Duer to us. As for the Internet, we also have Duer's mother here, and we are also Duer's biological grandparents."
"When the time comes, you'll muddy the water by crying a few words. What can you do?"
Zhu Jingyi felt that he had a chance to win.
"Okay, I promise you."
As soon as Zhu Jingyi finished speaking, Meng Yan spoke without thinking.
Zhu Jingyi was slightly stunned at first, thinking that Meng Yan was going to haggle with him again.
Then he laughed.
"Meng Yan, Meng Yan, I thought you had some backbone, but in the end you are not at my mercy!"
"Tell me what you want to add to the agreement." Seeing Zhu Jingyi's triumphant look, Meng Yan felt a sense of disgust in his heart.
For Duo'er's sake, I must endure it.
"You ran away from the door yesterday. To be honest, I'm not very confident about you." Zhu Jingyi pointed at Meng Yan's legs and said.
"What if you run away again?"
"Impossible, Duo'er is still in your hands." Meng Yan said calmly.
"No, you can't tell for sure." Zhu Jingyi stood up and looked out the window with his back to Meng Yan.
"We must add a clause to the agreement. From now on, without my order, you cannot step out of the Zhu family."
"You!" Meng Yan couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he heard this.
This makes it clear that he wants to put himself under house arrest!
"Our Zhu family villa is big enough. If you need anything, we can go out and buy it. All you have to do is stay in the basement and show me the stones."
"Do you want me to be your prisoner?"
"Don't say it so harshly. Our yard is big enough. If you really can't stand it anymore, you can go for a walk in the garden. There's no problem at all."
"I read in the news that some otakus and otakus stayed in college dormitories for four years, basically never leaving the house, and even after graduation they still cling to this kind of life."
"Why can't you do it?" Zhu Jingyi spread his hands, as if he was making a normal request.
"Besides, you have no bargaining chips with me." Zhu Jingyi smiled slightly.
"Duo'er, it's in our hands. If you don't agree, I think Duo'er's condition won't last long if we don't continue to treat her."
There was a long silence, and finally, Meng Yan nodded slowly.
"You have to bear all of Duo'er's medical expenses. If I want to see Duo'er anytime, you have to take me there. I promise you."
"Hahaha, of course, as long as you can make money for my Zhu family, Duo'er will be my good granddaughter. Of course I can't ignore her if she is sick!"
Compared with the jade that Meng Yan prescribed for him, what is the medical expenses of a little girl named Duo'er?
"But when it comes to your going to the hospital to see Duo'er, I only allow you to see her once a month."
"Once is too little." Meng Yan retorted.
"I said you have no conditions to negotiate with me."
"Zhu Jingyi." Meng Yan narrowed his eyes and suppressed the urge to go up and give the old man a meal.
"I never thought you could be so shameless and do things like this."
"Haha, you're a little too young to fight with me." Zhu Jingyi laughed again.
