His gaze was so focused that Xia Tong nodded involuntarily: "Yes."
He paused: "Xia Guaiguai, whose daughter is she?"
Xia Tong's heart panicked. She didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned this issue now? Could it be that he had already found something? But hadn't she done all the procedures perfectly?! There was no way he could find out!
Thinking of this, Xia Tong said calmly: "It belongs to Yi Chu."
"You lied!" Why is she still lying to him now? Does she really not want him to be the father of her child?
Qin Mujue turned around, grabbed the stack of folders, and threw them in front of her: "See for yourself."
Xia Tong took the document with a guilty conscience, and became more and more confused the more she turned over it.
"Xia Tong, you don't have to cover up anymore. I have already checked everything that needs to be checked. I even sent people to look for Yi Chu who is far away in Australia. Even he admitted that the child is not his, but mine, Qin Mu
It’s up to you to decide.”
The folder in his hand fell to the ground. Xia Tong was speechless and suddenly didn't know what to say.
After a while, she raised her head and looked at him: "Yes, the child is yours. But so what? Over the years, Guaiguai has been living with me, and she has long been accustomed to a life without her father. Even if you
Now run up to her and tell her that you are her daddy, what do you think the meaning of that is?"
"Xia Tong, can you stop being so selfish?" Qin Muzhen frowned: "Why do you think so self-righteously that Guaiguai is used to a life lacking father's love? Don't you know that children who grow up in an environment without father's love will be
How regretful will she be in the future? Even if Guaiguai is ignorant now and doesn’t understand, when she becomes sensible in two years, she will not be jealous when she sees other people’s children being loved by their parents and having two favors while she only has one.
Resentment?"
"I..." Xia Tong was speechless and speechless by his words.
After a while, she bit her lip: "Then what do you mean now?"
He took her hand, squeezed it into his palm, stared at her, and slowly softened: "We are getting married now, and then it will be up to me to make up for the fatherly love that I lost."
marry?
Xia Tong was stunned, but a conversation he had with Mina in the coffee shop that day suddenly came to mind.
***
"Why? Why must he force the Xia family to go bankrupt?"
"For a woman." Mina smiled and said, "Do you believe it?"
"Woman?! Is it Lin Manru?"
****
He once ruined the Xia family for a dead woman. But now he is determined to marry the Xia family's illegitimate daughter for a good boy?
Although for Xia Tong, the eighteen years she lived in the Xia family were not a good memory. But no matter what, the Xia family did nurture her. Now she can really let go of his past treatment of her.
Everything the Xia family did was to marry him for the sake of complete love?
Xia Tong opened his mouth and suddenly wanted to ask a question: "Qin Muju..."
"Um?"
She hesitated: "If Lin Manru was still alive now, would you marry me in order to give Guaiguai a complete father's love?"
He was surprised: "Why do you ask that?"
"You just have to answer."
Qin Mujie frowned, a little displeased: "Is there any point in comparing it with a dead person?"
"Of course. The Xia family that you destroyed because of her is enough to show that she occupies an incomparable position in your heart. If after getting married, I still can't replace that position, and I will even have to live in another woman's body for the rest of my life.
In the shadow, it is really too sad for any woman. What is the need for this marriage to continue?"
Qin Mu's decision to remain silent was tantamount to acquiescence.
Xia Tong understood and stood up, "In this case, there is no need to continue talking. Just let me take care of her. You don't need to worry. I don't even want alimony. I can take care of her independently."
Grow up and take good care of her."
Qin Mujue grabbed her wrist and laughed, his voice a little cold: "Do you think I would let you take Xia Guaiguai away when I know she is my daughter?"
"What do you mean?" Xia Tong frowned.
Qin Mujue waved away the sheets in front of him, stood up, and looked down: "Marriage is the best solution to this matter. But if you insist on refusing, I will adopt another more efficient method - take Guaiguai away.
"
"How dare you!" Xia Tong said angrily.
Qin Mujie smiled: "Based on the conditions between you and me, who do you think the judge will be more inclined to award to Guaiguai?"
Xia Tong: "……."
He patted her face: "How this matter ends is all up to you, Xia Tong. I will give you three days to think about it, and you will give me an answer after three days."
****** ******
All night long, Xia Tong felt a little lost. After dinner, she stared at the TV in a daze for a long time. Her mind was in a turmoil, repeatedly haunting what Qin Muzhen had said to her during the day.
Two choices, one is to get married, the other is to go to court.
On the surface, everyone seems to be happy with the former. She has a complete family, and she has nothing to lose. But can she really let go of all the worries in the past and marry Qin Muxue with a smile? If not, what will happen to these two helpless people?
The people you love face each other day and night, which is a cruel injury to either party.
As for the latter, if successful, it will be clean and tidy. However, the process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which is not a good thing for Guaiguai's growth.
Putting down the remote control, Xia Tong felt it necessary to call Senior Yi to ask. After all, he was more experienced in legal matters.
When the call was connected, Yi Chu was a little surprised: "Tongtong, long time no see, what happened?"
After the greetings, Xia Tong narrated the whole incident to Yi Chu one by one, including the previous kidnapping of Guaiguai, Qin Muzhe's rescue, and all the incidents that happened afterwards. Finally, she asked with some anxiety: "Senior Yi,
In this case, what are my chances of getting good custody?"
Yi Chu pondered for a moment and said: "There is something wrong with this matter. If we must fight, the chance of winning may be less than half."
Xia Tong was shocked and asked quickly: "Why?"
Yi Chu analyzed: "First of all, legal custody cases tend to favor the mother. Moreover, Guaiguai has lived with you for a long time, and changing the living environment will definitely have an impact on her growth. Judges generally pay attention to this.
.But there is a big loophole in what you just said, and I’m afraid the other party’s lawyer will not let it go.”
