Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 537 - 535: I’ll Send Someone to Bring You and Your Daughter Back

Chapter 537: Chapter 535: I’ll Send Someone to Bring You and Your Daughter Back

"Zhenyang, let’s just leave it at that for today," Huo Tianpei spoke up.

Although the elder also wanted to take Little Baozi home quickly, he knew that with the media present today, they couldn’t make too big a fuss.

If his son’s identity was just that of a business circle person, having an illegitimate child and fighting with the woman over the child wouldn’t matter much; at most, people would say a wealthy playboy was too domineering.

But now that his son was halfway into the political arena, reputation had become extremely important. The emergence of an illegitimate child born out of wedlock could seriously hurt him, not to mention fighting with the woman using his power. Even the mayor’s position could be in jeopardy, especially since there were many political rivals like Yan Bin watching Zhenyang closely.

After hearing the elder’s declaration, Jiayi’s anxious heart relaxed somewhat, it seemed that the man still had some concerns about the media for now.

Calling Anya to immediately notify all the major magazines and newspapers about this matter was the right move.

After a few minutes of silence, everyone finally heard Boss speak, "Allowing you to go home, that’s fine." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The man’s gaze was dark and deep, causing Jiayi to hug Zaizai tighter again. She didn’t know what scheme he was concocting now.

"My son, I will not let go. Starting now, for half of each week, send him to Disheng, and the other half he can stay with you. That’s my current minimum requirement," he stated, his pupils slowly turning.

"Mommy, in my class, Xiaoyuan’s parents are divorced, and he lives half the week at Daddy’s and half at Mommy’s. He said that was what the judge decided in court, so they wouldn’t fight. Maybe you can try it too, so you don’t have to argue," Zaizai piped up immediately.

Jiayi furrowed her brow and shushed her interrupting son, but she couldn’t help her breath catching. To say nothing of half a week, she didn’t want to let Zaizai go there even for half an hour.

But she knew this was his bottom line.

If she didn’t agree to even this, she might truly anger the man to his breaking point.

She looked at her mother, then nodded, "Fine."

She would have to deal with it for now.

Huo Zhenyang no longer hesitated and waved his hand, "Take the young master to the car."

"What do you mean—" Jiayi was startled.

"Didn’t I just say it? Starting now. Are you a goldfish, with only a few seconds of memory? Have you forgotten so quickly? Starts today at Disheng, and this time tomorrow, I’ll send someone to bring him back to Disheng. You agreed, don’t go back on your word." The man’s perfect lips curled, like a wicked fox. Think you can outsmart me? Ha, even the craftiest little rabbit is still just a rabbit in the end.

He turned around, "Help the elder to the car." Then he began walking toward the main gate.

After all the twists and turns, she was still trapped by this man’s scheme!

So Zaizai was still going to be taken to Disheng?

Jiayi was still in shock when Zaizai was taken by the bodyguard; it was only then that she reacted, hurried a few steps forward and stamped her foot, "Wait!"

The bodyguard holding Zaizai hesitated for a moment, but saw Boss turn his head halfway, "Don’t stop."

Jiayi had no choice but to grit her teeth and called out from behind, "Then—I’ll accompany him there today!"

To have Zaizai taken away tonight without any preparations, how could she be at ease?

What if they took Zaizai out of the country overnight? She would be crying without tears then, wouldn’t she? Where would she find him?

No! Zaizai could not leave her sight!

Huo Zhenyang halted his pace, stopping in his tracks, his eyes glinted: "Suit yourself," he said and continued to stride forward.

She felt like she was falling into a trap, utterly dejected. Would there ever come a day in her life when she could outplay this man? Yet, all she could do for now was to say to Xia Tingxuan, "Mommy, I’ll go to Disheng today and spend some time with Zaizai..."

Xia Tingxuan, of course, understood what her daughter was worried about, but what could she do, despite the frustration clawing in her stomach? Now it was the Huo Family that had the power to spin Jiayi around, and they, mother and daughter, had little space to fight back. With a sullen face, she clenched her fist for a while, then after some time, she let out a sigh, "Alright, you go first. Let me know immediately if anything happens."

Jiayi hummed a response and hurriedly followed the long procession of the Huo Family’s bodyguards.

Xia Tingxuan watched her daughter’s departing figure, her fist gradually relaxing. She took out her phone, her expression showing struggle and conflict. In the end, she still dialed the number that had always been there, yet she never thought she’d call again.

Beyond this, there was no other way.

As a single mother, she was powerless to confront the Huo Family. If the Huo Family truly intended to fight for Zaizai or force Jiayi into doing something she was unwilling to do, she would really have no recourse.

But she absolutely could not stand by and watch Jiayi become the Huo Family’s lamb to the slaughter again.

For her daughter’s sake, what were dignity and face worth?

Before the call connected, Xia Tingxuan’s forehead even broke out in a fine sweat.

Finally, someone picked up the call, and that familiar yet deep-seated male voice unheard for years resounded, "Hello?"

It was that distinctive deep tone unique to middle-aged men.

Xia Tingxuan quickly stabilized her emotions: "Hello."

Although it was just one word, the man on the other end of the phone immediately recognized who it was and exclaimed in surprise:

"Tingxuan—is that you, Tingxuan?"

"It’s me."

On the other end, Chu Yanhan could not hide his excitement. Four years had passed; had Tingxuan finally relented...

Over the years, it wasn’t that he couldn’t guess where she was. Tingxuan had grown up in an orphanage in Yunling City with him. She was an orphan, with no relatives from childhood to maturity. If she had to settle down with Jiayi, Yunling was the only place. If he wanted to inquire, he could definitely find out the whereabouts of the mother and daughter within a year and a half. But when Tingxuan left him again with Jiayi and the child in Jiayi’s womb, he knew very well that Tingxuan had still not gotten over her grievances against him. With Tingxuan’s temperament, even if he found her, she would still find a way to leave.

Rather than letting her despise him, it was better to grant her some peace of mind until she came to her senses.

Yet he had not expected that this separation would last for four years.

Now that she had taken the initiative to call, Chu Yanhan’s voice trembled with a change of tone, "Tingxuan, are you and Jiayi in China now? Are you in Yunling?"

"Mm."

"Have you stopped being angry with me? I’ll send someone to pick you and Jiayi up, okay?"

Xia Tingxuan remained silent.

Thinking she still harbored feelings of resentment and apprehension, Chu Yanhan enunciated each word deliberately, "Tingxuan, four years ago after Xuan Yu was taken away by Interpol for the involvement in a contract killing, along with the Xuan Family’s issues, she was found guilty of complicity and sentenced to twenty years’ imprisonment. Two years ago, I officially divorced her. Hah, actually, even if I didn’t proceed with the divorce, you have always been my lawful wife... I know you’re resentful towards me, but we’ve already missed out on each other twice in this life, after so many years, surely your anger has subsided by now..."

In the silent corridor, Chu Yanhan’s voice echoed on the phone, stirring something within Xia Tingxuan, but she quickly composed herself, "Today, I called you for another matter, let’s set our issues aside for the moment."
