Lin Shan stammered, unable to speak.
A knowing sneer appeared on Qiu Tong's face, and she said deliberately, "Although I don't like these three children, they are my biological children after all. I can't bear to let them do manual labor either. Why don't we just forget it."
"Don't!"
Seeing that Qiu Tong was about to change her mind, Lin Shan hurriedly said, "Actually, I lied to you just now."
She pretended to hold Qiu Tong's hand with a look of helplessness and sympathy. "They're your children, how could I bear to let them do hard labor? Let me tell you the truth, it's Mr. Cui who wants the children. He's old and doesn't have children, so he wants to adopt them."
Lin Shan's tone was alluring as she slowly nudged Qiu Tong into agreeing. "Think about it, you would be allowing these three children to live a good life by sending them over. Once Mr. Cui dies, won't all his assets belong to them?"
