Chapter 42

"Mom! How could you say that! I'm your own daughter!" Tears welled up in Tantai Yue's eyes.

She never expected such words to come from her own mother.

Zou Lifen was solely focused on survival. Although Ma San wasn't a good person, he at least owned a mahjong parlor and earned a decent income, far better than that good-for-nothing Qin Xuan.

So, she shamelessly continued, "Boss Ma, don't mind that my daughter is twenty-five or twenty-six, she's still a virgin! She's even more tender than girls twenty years old!"

Ma San's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Still a virgin? That meant even more enjoyment!

Tantai Yue felt utterly disappointed in Zou Lifen.

Even animals have feelings; had humans lost theirs?

At this moment, Tantai Hongguang, standing nearby, also spoke, "Yue, why don't you agree to Boss Ma's terms? Otherwise, your mother won't survive. Your dad has another hundred thousand, which can let you spend ten fewer days with Boss Ma. What do you say..."

"Dad, you!" Tantai Yue looked at Tantai Hongguang in disbelief.

Was this still her father? Big Wind Novel

Ma San was also very satisfied with Zou Lifen and Tantai Hongguang's attitude.

Parents like these were truly one in a million.

Tantai Yue was thoroughly disgusted with her parents. She decided she would no longer concern herself with them and said coldly, "If you want money, I'll send it next month. But I cannot agree to anything else."

With that, she turned and left in her high heels.

Seeing this, Ma San sneered. Was he going to let the duck he had caught fly away?

"You want to leave after entering my territory?"

Ma San waved his hand, and two of his subordinates quickly moved to restrain Tantai Yue.

Tantai Yue's face filled with fury, "What do you want to do!"

"What do I want to do?" Ma San sneered lewdly, "Of course, I want you to repay your mother's gambling debts with your body!"

Tantai Yue desperately wanted to call Qin Xuan, but her hands were held by the two subordinates, leaving her unable to move. She could only say forcefully, "I am the chairwoman of Hong Yan Company. I advise you not to touch me!"

Ma San sneered, "Just the boss of a small company. Do you think you can scare me?"

In Ma San's eyes, a company boss who didn't even bring a bodyguard and couldn't produce three million yuan wasn't a major player and posed no threat.

"Take her to my room," Ma San instructed his two men.

They then tied Tantai Yue up and escorted her into Ma San's room.

Seeing this, Zou Lifen quickly said, "Boss Ma, can you let me go now?"

Ma San glanced at her dismissively and said, "A beast like you, who sells her daughter to save her own life, is useless to keep. Get out."

Zou Lifen felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She quickly nodded in thanks, "Thank you, Boss Ma, thank you, Boss Ma!" Then, her gaze turned to Tantai Hongguang, and her tone immediately became shrewish, "What are you still standing there for? Don't you see Boss Ma let me go? Hurry up and help me untie myself."

Qin Xuan looked at the clock. It was already ten in the evening. Why hadn't Tantai Yue returned yet?

They had spoken on the phone in the morning. Tantai Yue had mostly finished arranging her company matters and was supposed to come back tonight. Qin Xuan had specially prepared over a dozen dishes, waiting for her.

But she hadn't returned until now, and her parents were nowhere to be found either.

Qin Xuan wasn't too concerned about their whereabouts; his worry was solely for Tantai Yue, fearing something might have happened to her. Her phone was also unreachable.

He called her company, and the secretary informed him that Tantai Yue had left in the afternoon. This made Qin Xuan even more worried about her.

Just then, the villa's main door was pushed open.

It was Tantai Hongguang and his wife.

Seeing the table full of food, they immediately rushed over, completely ignoring Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan watched as they ate the dishes he had prepared for Tantai Yue. Although he felt a pang of discomfort, he said nothing and simply asked, "Dad, Mom, have you seen Tantai?"

Zou Lifen cast a look of disgust at Qin Xuan, "Don't call us that. Who are your parents? You don't feel embarrassed, but I do. Yue will soon be Boss Ma's woman. When I go to play mahjong at his parlor in the future, it will be much more convenient."

Although Tantai Hongguang felt unhappy inside and wanted to say something, he swallowed his words. He didn't want to be scolded.

Qin Xuan frowned, sensing something was amiss. He quickly asked, "Where did Tantai go?"

"What's it to you?" Zou Lifen, chewing a piece of meat, retorted impatiently, "Yue is about to live a better life. Boss Ma may be older, but he has money and power. He's worth Yue entrusting her life to, much better than you, a good-for-nothing."

Hearing this, and worried about Tantai's safety, Qin Xuan could no longer hold back. He slammed his hand on the table, startling the couple.

"I'll ask you one more time, where is Tantai? Otherwise, you won't get to eat anything!"

Startled by Qin Xuan, Zou Lifen was about to curse at him, but upon seeing the murderous look in his eyes, she immediately swallowed her words and changed her tune. "Why are you so fierce? Young people have so much anger, no wonder you've achieved nothing. Yue is at the 'Ming Er Zai Lai' mahjong parlor. I advise you not to bother her. Yue is better off with Boss Ma than with a loser like you."

A mahjong parlor? Qin Xuan was puzzled. Given Tantai Yue's personality, why would she go to such a place?

Realizing that something was wrong, and certain that these two old geezers were involved, Qin Xuan stopped being polite. He immediately flipped over the table and roared, "Tell me what happened, or don't blame me for being harsh!"

Tantai Hongguang, who had always been timid, was scared by Qin Xuan's outburst and quickly confessed, "This afternoon, Tantai called me saying her mom was..."

After Tantai Hongguang finished explaining everything, Qin Xuan clenched his fists so hard they creaked, his face extremely grim.

To agree to such a request from their child's debtor. Even a beast has feelings. These two old fools had hearts eaten by dogs.

"I'll settle this with you when I get back," Qin Xuan snorted, and then slammed the door shut as he left.

After Qin Xuan left, Tantai Hongguang looked at the wasted food on the floor and cautiously asked Zou Lifen, "Wife, are... are we still going to eat this?"

Still recovering from the shock of Qin Xuan's outburst, Zou Lifen immediately launched into a barrage of insults at Tantai Hongguang. "You useless trash, you can't even protect your wife. You didn't say a word when others cursed me. How did I end up with such a loser? The stranger I met at mahjong was better than you. I must have been blind to have chosen such a useless piece of trash back then..."

Meanwhile, Ma San had also inquired about Hong Yan Company.

He had thought the name sounded familiar before. It turned out to be the cosmetics company established not long ago, which had even been featured on the morning news. Wang Yuyan of the Wang Group had even attended the company's press conference.

Ma San realized that this woman was likely not simple. He then made a call to his superior in the Black Tiger Gang.
