Chapter 893: You Must Take Responsibility for My Daughter's Death

Jian Yining's mind is still not quite clear right now.

He didn't take in more than half of what the man said, and there is a big question mark in his mind.

Finally, when it is his turn to speak, Jian Yining asks, "Aren't you dead? How are you alive again?"

"Fine, you rich people have such vicious hearts. My daughter, who was so good, died at your hands, yet you don't want to pay a cent, and you're even cursing me to die?"

The Secretary hurriedly tries to smooth things over.

"Old sir, that is not what our General Manager meant. It's just that when your daughter came last time, she said you had died, and she was even wearing mourning clothes on her arm."

His eyes roll around a few times, and he changes his tune: "That was her mother's husband after she remarried who died, not me."

Jian Yining realizes something at this moment: "That's not right. Huang Qin said her mother died when she was born, so how did she remarry?"

The man is unreasonable and overbearing: "Ah, right, her biological mother died, but am I not allowed to marry another? The woman I remarried despised me for being poor and ran off with another man. That man died, and Huang Qin wore mourning for him."

Jian Yining:...

Such a complicated family relationship, he cannot sort it out.

Huang Qin's father is relentless; he just wants money!

If he doesn't pay, he will make a scene in front of the company employees and ruin his reputation!

He finally understands why Huang Qin's father didn't go anywhere else and insisted on coming to the company to talk.

It is to be ready at all times to threaten him.

Jian Yining's good reputation has already been ruined by Huang Qin.

He truly doesn't care about it being ruined a little more.

But he also truly doesn't want to waste any more breath on the man in front of him!

"How much do you want? State your terms."

Father Huang didn't expect him to be so straightforward and immediately makes an exorbitant demand: "You have to give me half of the company. As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son. Although my daughter is gone, I acknowledge you as my son-in-law, and I have to rely on you to support me in my later years."

Jian Yining: "The company is no longer mine. I divorced my wife this morning, and all the family assets were given to my wife. It is true that your daughter jumped off a building at my company, but I am not in a romantic relationship with her, and I could not possibly be your son-in-law."

"What?"

Father Huang's eyes widen to the size of an ox's eyes, a look of complete disbelief.

Seeing that he doesn't believe him, Jian Yining takes the divorce certificate and the Divorce Agreement out of his bag, points to the property division section, and says, "See for yourself. I really wasn't lying; I left with nothing."

"Really!"

He doesn't really care whether Jian Yining is his son-in-law or not, but he is particularly heartbroken that he left with nothing.

Huang Qin's father collapses onto the floor, tears streaming down his face, sitting there blankly without saying a word.

He is truly heartbroken, feeling incredibly miserable.

Father Huang beats his chest and stamps his feet in regret: "Oh, I came too late. Daughter, you died at the wrong time. If I had only come a little earlier, the company wouldn't have been taken away by others..."

This kind of bizarre remark makes everyone's jaw drop.

Who is an outsider?

He is one of their own, yet the man's wife, who shared weal and woe with him, and his own biological daughter have instead become the outsiders?

He cries for a while, then stops abruptly: "What do you have now?"

Jian Yining realizes this won't do.

It is true that he feels guilty toward Huang Qin, but that doesn't mean he is a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, to be cut however one pleases.

"I have nothing left. If you want money, I have none; if you want my life, I have one."

"Impossible. Even a broken ship has three thousand nails, and a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. How could you not be able to come up with money? I don't believe it."

"I won't ask for too much from you. Give me 500 million for my retirement. My girl was at the age of a flower; asking you for 500 million isn't too much, right?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't have money. I know your background clearly. Your Jian Family is filthy rich and has plenty of money. 500 million is just a drizzle to your family. Whatever leaks out from between your fingers is enough for me to eat, drink, gamble, and... no, to live a life of comfort for the rest of my days."

Jian Yining is dumbfounded.

He really dares to make an exorbitant demand. 500 million right off the bat—is this the kind of "appetite" a family in poverty should have?

He feels guilty toward Huang Qin, but Jian Yining is not stupid; guilt does not mean he lacks judgment.

He says sternly: "Impossible. Not to mention I don't have that much money, even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you. Huang Qin committed suicide; it has nothing to do with me." After finishing, he feels great contempt for himself.

Only yesterday he was despising his family for being cold-blooded, and today he is saying almost the same things to them.

But a moment later, he excuses himself: I am not being cold-blooded; it is the other party who is insatiably greedy.

Father Huang immediately gets anxious: "Do you think everyone else is a fool? You say it has nothing to do with you, so it has nothing to do with you? My daughter told me herself that she was your mistress and that it wouldn't be long before you married her."

After saying this, fearing he wouldn't believe him, he pulls up WeChat to let him listen.

It is indeed Huang Qin's voice, soft and sweet, but it sounds very strange to his ears!

Huang Qin is triumphant, saying that her relationship with him is very intimate, that he is preparing to divorce and marry her, and that she will let her father follow her to live in luxury and enjoy endless wealth, and also experience the life of the upper class.

The kind of simplicity she usually displayed in front of him is completely absent; there is only deep calculation.

And the most recent chat date is within these last two days.

Two days ago, Huang Qin told him she was under house arrest in the hospital, eating rotten food and covering herself with a quilt that had covered a dead person, and that the nursing assistant was insulting her with the most vicious language, and that she was living a life worse than death every day...

But when talking to her father, it was a completely different tone, full of longing for future life, with no feeling of pain at all!

She was faking it.

In front of him, she likely disguised herself as simple and ignorant, while in front of her father was the real Huang Qin, right?

Seeing the ugly expression on Jian Yining's face, Father Huang thinks he wants to deny it.

"With my daughter's voice recording from before she died as proof, what else do you have to say? If you two really had no relationship, would she have jumped off a building for you?"

Jian Yining: "Whether you believe it or not, she and I really didn't have that kind of relationship. I looked at Huang Qin as a younger sister. I have a wife and daughter, and I wouldn't have improper thoughts about other girls..."

"Pah!"

Father Huang interrupts him angrily: "Jian Yining, you are too shameless. You took advantage of her and now don't want to admit it? Are you looking at the fact that my daughter is dead and there is no proof, right? I have evidence right here and you still won't admit it!"

He was still furious, and as soon as he went out, he shouted: "Everyone come and see! My daughter died for Jian Yining, and he doesn't want to pay a single cent in compensation. There is no justice in this world!"

Causing a scene at the company was inappropriate, so the Secretary hurried over to appease him.

She arranged a hotel and gave him some money so he could go and rest first.

The Secretary said the General Manager had been through too much these past two days and hadn't recovered yet; once he recovered, he would definitely give him a perfect answer.

Only then did he leave satisfied, but before leaving, he dropped these words: "If you can't satisfy me by tomorrow, I will make him pay with his life for my daughter."

Not long after Father Huang left, another guest came to visit.

But they were not here to cause trouble; they were here to apologize.

The Fire Captain brought the team member who had been the first to ram the door over to apologize.

"I'm sorry, General Manager Jian. It was my impulsiveness; I was too anxious to ram the door open, and that girl was startled and fell down."

Jian Yining:...

"She didn't jump down on her own?"

The Captain: "No. Someone who truly wants to die won't tell anyone. This kind of person just wants to scare people, they don't really want to die..."
