The Fake Daughter Is Not Innocent

Cheng Yang, in a bad mood, said, “If the little girl wants to go to the amusement park, I’ll naturally accompany her. Who do you think you are?”

Xiao Lingbo’s expression stiffened as he broke out in cold sweat, but he did not dare retort as he nodded at whatever Cheng Yang said.

Xiao Ying looked at Xiao Lingbo’s expectant gaze and smiled.

Just as he revealed a relieved smile, Xiao Ying spoke.

“I—don’t——want——to——”

She enunciated each word clearly.

Xiao Lingbo looked at Xiao Ying in disbelief, momentarily forgetting about Cheng Yang’s presence. “Xiao Ying, you unfilial daughter! Do you have any idea what you are saying?” He shouted furiously.

Xiao Ying grinned and said, “I know. I just don’t want to.”

Cheng Yang coughed.

Xiao Lingbo’s fury was like a deflated rubber ball, instantly wilting.

“Since you don’t want the little girl anymore, I want her, and I’ll take her away today,” Cheng Yang said coldly.

He looked down into Xiao Ying’s eyes and added, “The little girl wasn’t driven out by you. It was her who didn’t want to stay any longer.”

These words made Xiao Ying’s entire soul tremble.

Xiao Lingbo’s face did not look too good, but Cheng Yang was already his last chance. The feeling of watching his last chance fly away was too unbearable.

“Surely Mr. Cheng can’t expect to just take her away and gain custody? After all, our Xiao family did raise her all these years,” Xiao Lingbo said stiffly.

As for Xiao Lingbo using her as a bargaining chip, Xiao Ying did not react at all.

His actions did not surprise her in the least.

However, Cheng Yang frowned and immediately covered her ears.

Xiao Ying calmly removed his hands from her ear.

She looked at Xiao Lingbo and said, “I’m not the daughter of the Xiao family.”

Xiao Lingbo bit the bullet and said, “Even though we didn’t birth you, we still raised you.”

“How much do you want?” Cheng Yang asked.

Xiao Lingbo was delighted as he said shamelessly, “I raised Xiao Ying for ten years. I provided her with good food, a good home, and sent her to a noble school…”

Cheng Yang interrupted with a frown, “Just tell me a number.”

Xiao Lingbo paused and said, “Fifty million.”

Cheng Yang made a call and said, “Transfer 50 million to the Xiao family and send over a custody transfer agreement.”

Xiao Ying tugged at Cheng Yang’s hand but he patted her comfortingly, telling her to not make a sound.

After doing all of this, Cheng Yang looked at Xiao Lingbo and said, “Remember, your Xiao family no longer has anything to do with Xiao Ying.”

Xiao Lingbo agreed with all smiles.

Cheng Yang held Xiao Ying’s hand and led her outside.

After walking out the door and seeing the displeasure on Xiao Ying’s face, Cheng Yang smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I naturally have a way to make them cough up the money I gave them.”

When he said this, Cheng Yang’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness.

At this moment, Xiao Ruoxuan suddenly rushed out and shouted, “Sister!”

Xiao Ying stopped in her tracks to look at her. Xiao Ruoxuan straightened her clothes and hair before saying, “Sister, I don’t want you to leave.”

She was saying that she couldn’t bear to leave Xiao Ying, but her gaze was on Cheng Yang the entire time.

Xiao Ying smiled and did not preserve any of Xiao Ruoxuan’s dignity. “Can you not bear to leave me, or can you not bear to lose the opportunity to get close to Cheng Yang?”

Xiao Ruoxuan looked at Xiao Ying in shock and said, “Sister, how could you directly call Brother Cheng by his name?”

She then turned to look at Cheng Yang and said, “Brother Cheng, I’ll apologize on my sister’s behalf for her rudeness.”

Xiao Ying’s eyes flashed. Xiao Ruoxuan improved pretty quickly. She was truly a natural-born actress.

Cheng Yang swept a glance over her and said, “I already said before, she has nothing to do with your Xiao family anymore. Also, who do you think you are? Are you worthy of calling me Brother?”

Cheng Yang looked at her like he was looking at trash. Unable to stand it, Xiao Ruoxuan’s face flushed and she ran back, crying.
