My Soft AI Boyfriend Turned into a Rough Man—and Kisses Me Until I Am Pregnant - Chapter 74

The Xu couple couldn’t help but waver.

“Who exactly is your boss? We can’t just marry off our daughter without even meeting him, can we?” Mr. Xu asked hesitantly, a glint of greed in his eyes. Anyone who could offer 500,000 yuan outright must be incredibly wealthy.

Who knows, maybe if they met in person, he could squeeze out even more money!

He had no intention of considering Xu Xiaoguai’s well-being.

As long as he could get more money for his son, nothing else mattered!

“You don’t need to know who my boss is. It’s 500,000 yuan, take it or leave it. If you refuse, she can marry her original fiancé, and you won’t see a single cent of this money!” Qiao Wen’s tone was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

At that moment, Xu Xiaoguai stood by her bedroom door, nervously listening to the conversation outside.

She knew Qiao Wen was acting on Lu Wang’s orders.

But would her parents really marry her off to someone they’d never even met?

Perhaps they would.

For money, they were capable of anything.

What was one daughter worth to them?

They probably regretted not having more daughters, so they could secure enough money for Xu Xi’s marriage.

Though Xu Xiaoguai thought this way, she still wanted to hear them say the words, to admit they were selling their own daughter.

If they truly intended to trade her for money, then she could finally accept that she no longer had parents.

She refused to be sold off and then naively count the money for them.

“We agree! But you have to transfer the money first. Once the money is in our hands, we’ll marry our daughter to your boss!”

Xu Xiaoguai clenched her fists.

They truly had no bottom line.

Was she their daughter, or just a tool to help Xu Xi marry and continue the family line?

On the sofa, Qiao Wen felt a surge of anger. He had only heard about the situation from his boss before and hadn’t fully grasped the extent of their callousness. He knew they favored sons over daughters, but he never imagined they would so casually sell their daughter for money, without even a hint of pretense.

Even a hypocritical act would have been less shocking.

How had Miss Xu grown up in such an environment?

In just this short while, Qiao Wen could already sense how oppressive life must have been for Xu Xiaoguai here.

Unable to hold back, he questioned them, “Didn’t you say she was already engaged? How can you agree so easily now?”

The Xu couple showed no trace of guilt. “It was just an engagement, not an actual marriage. If there’s a better option, of course we’ll take it. Besides, I’ll soon be your boss’s father-in-law. You’re just an employee, what right do you have to question us?”

Mr. Xu felt no shame for his actions.

In fact, he believed he was entirely justified.

As Xu Xiaoguai’s father, he had raised her all these years. Of course, he had the right to marry her off to whomever he pleased.

It was her duty.

She had to contribute to the family!

“Hurry up and transfer the money. Once it’s done, you can take her away!”

Mr. Xu was impatient to get the money, which would completely resolve the issue of his son’s bride price.

Qiao Wen, however, was in no rush. “But my boss has a condition. Of course, we can give you the money, but you must sever all ties with her. From now on, you are to have no contact whatsoever. If you agree, sign this document, and I’ll transfer the money immediately.”

The Xu couple frowned upon hearing this. Why would receiving a bride price require cutting off all relations with Xu Xiaoguai?

They hesitated a little.

After all, cutting ties would only get them a total of 500,000 yuan.

What if they still had a use for Xu Xiaoguai in the future?

They felt it was somewhat inappropriate.

“Cutting ties… that won’t do. Do you think 500,000 yuan is enough to buy our daughter?”

Xu’s father and mother exchanged a glance. “Add another 200,000… no, add another 300,000, and we’ll sign!”

Qiao Wen almost stood up and punched him. How could they sell their daughter to a stranger for just 800,000 yuan and agree to sever all ties?

Were they even human?

What difference was there between them and beasts!

Qiao Wen took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart. “Hurry up and sign. I’ll give you the 800,000.”

Originally, the boss had prepared 1 million yuan, but Qiao Wen had no intention of offering them more.

In his opinion, they didn’t deserve a single cent. People like them weren’t worthy of having anything!

Upon hearing this, the Xu couple eagerly picked up the pen to sign, without the slightest hesitation. They didn’t even think twice before writing their names.

This severance agreement had been specially drafted by Lu Wang.

After signing, the Xu couple quickly blocked Qiao Wen. “Don’t you dare go back on your word! Hurry up and give us the money!”

Impatiently, Qiao Wen transferred the money.

Their bank account number was easy enough to find, and Qiao Wen naturally knew it.

Meanwhile, behind the door, Xu Xiaoguai leaned against it, trembling slightly, before helplessly crouching down, her eyes turning red.

Had her parents just abandoned her like that?

Xu Xiaoguai finally understood why Lu Wang had asked her those questions earlier.

He had already planned to help her break free from such a toxic family.

From now on, she wouldn’t have to endure her parents’ constant scolding or ride her little bike to deliver breakfast anymore…

And she would no longer have a home…

After crying for a while, Xu Xiaoguai wiped her face haphazardly.

This should be a happy occasion. Even if Lu Wang hadn’t done this, her parents would have sold her to someone else sooner or later.

At least now she could see things clearly, that was a good thing.

Xu Xiaoguai sniffled.

She could hear Qiao Wen in the living room, seemingly on a phone call.

When she opened the door, she saw her “parents” happily showing the text message on their phone to Xu Xi in the opposite room.

When they turned around, they noticed Xu Xiaoguai standing there, but their eyes showed no trace of guilt.

“You heard everything?”

Xu’s mother cleared her throat. “We’ve raised you for so many years. Weren’t you always complaining that we treated you badly? From now on, you don’t have to suffer living with us anymore. You can do whatever you want. Besides, a big boss has taken a liking to you, that’s your good fortune. Starting today, you have nothing to do with us. Pack your things and go with him. Don’t be ungrateful!”

Xu’s mother still spoke in her usual harsh tone, but her expression wasn’t too unpleasant. After all, they had resolved a troublesome matter and were quite pleased.

Xu Xiaoguai glanced at Qiao Wen in the living room, then lowered her head.

Qiao Wen comforted her, “The boss will be here soon.”

The Xu couple emerged from Xu Xi’s room, not forgetting to mock her.

“You probably don’t need to bring much. After all, he’s a big boss, he’ll buy you whatever you want. Oh, what a fortunate life you’ll have.”

The Xu couple also intended to see who this big boss was, someone so extravagant at first glance, and they wondered what he looked like.

Xu Xiaoguai didn’t speak or look at them; she was utterly disgusted by their hypocritical expressions.

The doorbell rang outside.

Qiao Wen quickly went to answer the door.

Xu Xiaoguai looked up and saw Lu Wang standing outside the door, holding a bouquet of pink roses in his hand.

She desperately wanted to rush over and hug him right then, to tell him how wronged she felt.

She didn’t want her parents anymore, she just wanted to leave with him!

The Xu couple also turned their gaze toward the door, but their smiling faces instantly darkened beyond recognition.

It was actually the very person responsible for their son’s downfall!

And he had tricked them into signing the severance agreement!
