Chapter 402 Sell him to us.
\' Belongs to me?\'Fang Chi turned his head just in time to see Xiao Hua looking at his wife as if she was all that he dreamt about having and suddenly felt both annoyance and heartache creep into his heart. Annoyed because he couldn\'t help but be annoyed at Yu Dong for being so good that she attracted at least one mer wherever she went and heartache because he was well jealous at the idea of Yu Dong having someone else as her husband.
But of course, if she liked Xiao Hua then he would have no choice but to accept him as his brother.
On the contrary to the love drama that was going on behind Yu Dong\'s back, Chen Ying and her family finally figured out how to get their hands on Xiao Hua.
He was a mer that Yu Dong bought with money and being a businesswoman, money should be the most important thing for her. So what if Xiao Hua was a beautiful mer? Yu Dong wasn\'t lacking in money and surely she will get another \'Xiao Hua\' to replace this one right? As long as they offered a decent sum, the Chen parents were sure that she would sell Xiao Hua to them, they just needed to make the offer as enticing as possible!
The Chen parents were quick-witted people and they knew how to pick up the right nerve at the right time, if not then they wouldn\'t have become the village elders so quickly when they were still in their fifties.
" Yu Dong, it is good that you are here," now that there was a point that can be discussed calmly, Chen Ying\'s mother stepped forward and with a flattering smile looked at Yu Dong. " Now that you are here, I think we can discuss the matter more clearly, first of all, I would like to apologise for troubling you and your husband at such an hour, its not that we wished this to happen either but as you can see…" she pointed to Chen Ying who was leaning against her husband. " My daughter is a bit drunk at the moment and that\'s the only reason the situation escalated to this point but I swear we never meant this to get this far… in fact, we were going to come to your house and discuss it properly."
" Discuss what?" asked Yu Dong flatly, she knew that Chen Ying\'s mother wasn\'t spouting so much nonsense just because she wanted to apologise to her most probably there was something else that she wanted to talk about and that was the only reason she bothered with that insincere apology.
" About Xiao Hua," Chen Ying\'s mother answered very carefully as she took a glance at Yu Dong\'s face when she saw that Yu Dong wasn\'t running at them with a knife in hand, threatening to chop them up. Chen Ying\'s mother\'s guard relaxed and she thought that Yu Dong was willing to listen to her suggestion thus she hurriedly spoke, "It\'s like this, as you can see my daughter is a big admirer of Xiao Hua from the time he worked as a courtesan,"
Chen Ying\'s mother deliberately said this thing to point out Xiao Hua\'s biggest flaw and make him realise his own status before putting forth her suggestion, she wanted Xiao Hua to realise just how much of a favour her daughter was doing to him by marrying him as her secondary husband or else mers like him only deserve to be bedmates and nothing else.
Sure enough, after she said that, Xiao Hua\'s expression turned sour and she would be lying if that didn\'t soothe her burning heart. They have been listening to Xiao Hua\'s insults for so long, and now that she has given a part of it back to Xiao Hua, Chen Ying\'s mother felt really good.
She turned to look at Yu Dong and then in a greasy voice continued, " You see, My Ying\'er has been chasing after Xiao Hua for a very long time, with her perseverance it\'s easy to see just how much she dotes on Xiao Hua… if it was someone else they would have already given up by now —- after being rejected again and again but my daughter is sincere and that is why she has been chasing after Xiao Hua with all her heart. It has been months since she started to pursue Xiao Hua——"
Upon listening to her words, Yu Dong turned to look at Xiao Hua who hurriedly lowered his head. Seeing his actions, Yu Dong was simply speechless, if had told her earlier that this woman was stalking him then she would have handled this matter already, if so this situation would have never reached to this point but —-
She sighed as she turned to look at Chen Ying\'s mother and said, " There are like countless admirers of Xiao Hua, what makes you different? All right if you are done you can return to your home——"
" We are different because we are willing to pay any price for him," said Chen Ying\'s mother as she generously spoke like she was doing a favour to Yu Dong and Xiao Hua. " I know that you have bought Xiao Hua for a very large sum of money and if we take him away just like that it will a big loss to you, so —- that\'s why you can put any reasonable price in front of us and we will pay you in return, I mean he is just a mer right? Instead of keeping him and raising him for absolutely nothing —- forgive for saying this but I have heard from the villagers that you have no ahem, no relationship with the mers living in this house. So isn\'t it a loss? Why not sell him to us and make a profit out ——"
" All right," said Yu Dong as she looked at Chen Ying\'s mother and smiled cordially. " I am willing to sell him to you for a reasonable price."
