Yanbao hurriedly shook his head, "No..."
Upon hearing this, Li Beijue's expression finally eased a bit, and he gave a slight, satisfied nod.
The woman knew her place!
If she really said something to Yanbao that she shouldn't have... Hmph!
Li Beijue seemed to think of something and suddenly said in a deep voice, "She is not a good person, you are not allowed to see her again. If she dares to bother you, you must tell me, do you understand?"
Yanbao lifted his face, looking at Li Beijue with confusion. After encountering his stern gaze, he quickly agreed, "I understand, Daddy."
Li Beijue nodded indifferently and said no more.
Yanbao also obediently leaned by the window, his little head somewhat lost in thought.
Although he hadn't heard anything just now, he saw Daddy holding Mommy's hand!
They seemed to be arguing, and he had to think of a way to make Daddy and Mommy reconcile!
That way, Mommy could stay by his side!
...
Half an hour later.
Two cars stopped one after the other outside the gates of the Li Mansion.
Jiang Baobao looked at the familiar building in front of her, a flicker of unusual emotion crossing her heart.
She opened the car door and got out, immediately spotting Yanbao, who was being taken out of the other car.
Yanbao also saw Jiang Baobao, excitement flashing across his little face for a moment, but before he could speak, he was scooped up by the welcoming butler.
"Baby!" Jiang Baobao's face lit up with joy, and she immediately moved to follow, but Li Beijue blocked her way.
"Didn't you say you didn't recognize me? Why are you shamelessly following?" Li Beijue's tone was mocking as he disdainfully looked at Jiang Baobao.
Jiang Baobao took a deep breath, her eyes following Yanbao as he was carried away, and she glared irritably at the man before her.
"Give me back my son!" she said through clenched teeth, her voice icy cold.
But she heard Li Beijue snort coldly and then he turned and walked away.
Jiang Baobao paused, then immediately followed.
"Li Beijue, what do you mean by this? What exactly do you want? We settled our account long ago; do you really have to be so ruthless?" Jiang Baobao followed Li Beijue's side, questioning him repeatedly.
Yet Beijue didn't utter a word and went straight into the villa's elevator.
The two arrived at the study together.
It was only after entering the study that Jiang Baobao couldn't help but zone out for a moment.
Beijue had never allowed her to enter this place before, and now...
Jiang Baobao watched the man already sitting in front of the computer, typing something, feeling utterly unmoved.
She had long stopped caring about these things!
Thinking this, she suddenly heard the printer beside the computer begin to whir, and a sheet of white paper with black printing slowly emerged.
Li Beijue casually grabbed it and placed it on the desk.
"You want to see your son, do you? That's possible, as long as you pay off his maintenance for these years, I might consider it." He tapped the desk lightly, a cold smirk playing on his lips.
At those words, Jiang Baobao immediately became furious.
What the hell?
She was the one who had been struggling to raise the child all these years; what right did Li Beijue have to demand maintenance?
However...
Jiang Baobao's eyes shifted, and suddenly an idea crossed her mind.
She stepped forward and picked up the thin sheet of paper.
"The child support that should be paid over five years amounts to 7.8 million..." Jiang Baobao muttered the "huge" sum in the contract to herself and sneered silently in her heart.
Immediately after, she heard Li Beijue say indifferently, "With just one word from me, no bank would dare lend to you. You can pay in installments, and I will decide when each payment is due, how much you must pay each time. Once it's paid off, then we can consider other matters."
This woman had dared to sleep with him and then run away; he would deal with her slowly!
To make her realize she was wrong!
And grievously so!
Hearing this, Jiang Baobao's lips curled up in disdain, "President Li seems to have thought everything through, but I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."
After speaking, she casually pulled out her phone, glanced at the contract for the remittance account, and entered it into her phone.
Li Beijue watched her actions without a word, a moment of hesitation flashing across his face.
Could she really have it…?
As he was thinking, he felt his own phone vibrate.
Li Beijue opened the message and glanced at it, his expression suddenly turning frosty.
Just now, his personal account had received a remittance of 8 million!
Jiang Baobao put away her phone, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, unable to hide a bit of smugness, "The extra 200,000 can be considered compensation for your mental distress. Can you give me back my son now?"
A few million in petty cash, she still had it!
Considering Li Beijue's excellent genes, she would regard this payment as a settlement between the two of them!
Li Beijue suddenly clenched his phone tightly, looking up at Jiang Baobao with a fiery gaze.
She actually had 8 million to pull out?
And dared to insult him with 200,000 so brazenly?
Damn it!
He must let this woman know the consequences of offending him!
With that in mind, Li Beijue suddenly tossed his phone onto the desk, crossed his arms, and said nonchalantly, "Who said that was the only condition?"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Baobao asked coldly, a bad premonition suddenly surging within her.
What on earth was this man planning?
The corners of Li Beijue's lips curved into a smirk, "The child support was just one of the conditions..."
Jiang Baobao immediately pressed, "What other conditions do you have?"
Li Beijue did not speak, seemingly lost in thought.
After a moment, he spoke carelessly, "That... I will tell you later..."
"Li Beijue! Are you playing with me?" Jiang Baobao could no longer hold back her anger and slammed her hand on the table, her blood boiling with fury.
But Li Beijue was even more composed, his demeanor lazily nonchalant as he slightly curled his lips, his expression seeming to say "So what if I am playing with you?"
Jiang Baobao couldn't take it any longer, she leaned forward on the table, gritting her teeth and threatening, "I've given you the money, and for the last time, hand over my son, or else I'll tear down your Li Mansion!"
Li Beijue's eyes suddenly brewed a storm, and he stood up with a cold face, "Jiang Baobao, dare to make a scene here and see what happens."
He said, stepping around the office desk, his gaze piercingly meeting Jiang Baobao's defiant eyes.
Then, he suddenly switched his tone to one of mockery, "What right do you have to claim him as your son? You're not even fit to be a mother!"
"I'm not fit, and you are?" Jiang Baobao retorted loudly, her heart pounding with anger.
It was clear what Li Beijue wanted; he intended to snatch Mobai back to become the heir of the Li Family!
She didn't know what kind of spell he had cast on their darling, who had followed him without resistance!
Jiang Baobao clenched her fists tightly, her heart in complete turmoil.
Li Beijue narrowed his eyes, looking at the anger on the charming face before him, and suddenly remembered how six years ago, she had smiled at him so pleasingly, and he couldn't help but drift into a daze for a moment.
