Xiao Yao

Chapter 775 The Choice

Lin Ziyi sneered, "Your Su family's ancestral teachings do not bind me. You have two choices now: first, accept our help and let the Su family overcome their difficulties. Second, act according to your wishes, but we will no longer help the Su family."

Su Yan sighed softly after hearing Lin Ziyi's words. "Actually, I have another path. Yu Lingfeng has been pursuing me. If I agree to marry him, he will naturally help my Su family. However, at that time, Ye Tian's child will have to call him father. This person is extremely sinister and vicious. If I marry into his family, my daughter and I will not have good lives."

Lin Ziyi sneered, "What does that have to do with us?"

A resolute expression appeared on Su Yan's delicate face. "If you say it has nothing to do with us, then so be it. I am seeking out Ye Tian, not Yu Lingfeng; this is my choice. If you refuse to accept me, I can only go to Yu Lingfeng."

"Are you threatening me?" Lin Ziyi's face showed anger. This woman was indeed not simple!

Su Yan said calmly, "Sister Ziyi, ultimately, this matter still needs Ye Tian to decide, doesn't it? You are just his girlfriend; you don't have the right to make decisions for him!"

Lin Ziyi snorted, "My decision is Ye Tian's decision."

Su Yan replied, "Is that so? Then I will ask Ye Tian to tell me himself later."

Lin Ziyi suddenly smiled. She stood up and asked, "Do you know when Ye Tian and I met?"

Su Yan responded, "I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing."

Lin Ziyi stated, "Whether you want to know or not, I will tell you. We started dating in high school. We are both willing to die for each other. Can you do that?"

Su Yan remained silent for a long time. She then said calmly, "That is all in the past. We women should seize the present, not dwell on memories."

Lin Ziyi shook her head. "You don't understand what I mean. Your so-called threat is too childish for us. You say you want to marry Yu Lingfeng, but I want to tell you that Ye Tian can make Yu Lingfeng's family disappear with a mere flip of his hand. Moreover, you shouldn't threaten me with the child. If Ye Tian wished, would you obediently give him a child and then go back to wherever you came from? Do you believe that?"

Su Yan's expression changed. She didn't truly know Ye Tian well and couldn't help but say, "Ye Tian wouldn't."

"He wouldn't do that because he doesn't know you are threatening us with the child. If he finds out, you will no longer be his focus; the focus will shift back to the child. At that time, you will have nothing."

Su Yan's face turned pale. She was a smart girl and quickly realized Lin Ziyi was not bluffing. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she cried, "I don't want to threaten you, but what else can I do if I don't?"

Lin Ziyi sneered, "There's no need to play the victim. Getting pregnant with his child was also something you desired. Therefore, no matter what grievances you suffer in the future, it will be your own doing; no one is forcing you."

At this moment, Ye Tian returned. His expression was neutral, and he asked Su Yan, "That one hundred billion, have you prepared it?"

Su Yan nodded, "It's ready."

Ye Tian continued, "The matters between you and me will be discussed later. Let's participate in the gambling match first."

Su Yan smiled and replied, "Okay."

Ye Tian looked at her and said in a very calm tone, "Ziyi is the love of my life. For her, I can give up my life, cultivation, and wealth. Therefore, please do not harbor any hostility towards her."

His words were not harsh, but very tactful. Yet, Su Yan felt as if Ye Tian had pushed her thousands of miles away. Tears streamed down her face, and she softly said, "I understand."

"Rest for a while. We'll depart in an hour," he said, pulling Lin Ziyi away.

The two arrived at the living room where Long Xiao was. Long Xiao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, this matter is not Ye Tian's fault; don't be angry with him."

Lin Ziyi replied, "I'm not angry; I'm actually very happy."

Long Xiao smiled and didn't bring it up again. He said, "Let's discuss this gambling match."

Lin Ziyi asked, "Brother Long, according to Tian Ge, the gambling match involves trillions of dollars in stakes?"

Long Xiao nodded. "Yes. Gambling matches are divided into in-ring and out-of-ring. The in-ring funds should be around two to three hundred billion dollars. The out-of-ring amount is larger, with at least seven to eight hundred billion dollars involved."

Lin Ziyi sighed, "There are too many rich people in the world!"
