"Lu Feng helplessly said, 'I don't have much money left now. You're asking for too much, and I can't afford it.'
San'er's father snorted and said, 'Don't try to deceive me. My daughter said you own a big company, that you're a big boss. How can a big boss not have money? Well, how about this? We'll split the family assets with you. Is that fair? When couples get divorced, they usually split the assets equally. Although my daughter didn't register with you, she lost her uterus because of you. It's only right that you give her half of the assets!'
Was it unreasonable for them to demand half of his assets?
Lu Feng didn't expect the other party to make such a bold request. He sneered and said, 'Even if my daughter registered with me, she wouldn't be entitled to half of my assets because they are my pre-marital property and have nothing to do with her, understand?'
San'er's father turned pale and shouted, 'Don't think you can deceive me. If you refuse to give in, I'll take you to court and sue you until your company goes bankrupt!'
Lu Feng's company was now just an empty shell. There was no money left. His ex-wife, Tan Xiyuan, had taken away more than half of the money. The remaining funds were not enough to cover the expenses of the month. If they couldn't secure funding by next month, they wouldn't even be able to pay the employees' salaries!
Lu Feng said angrily, 'If that's what you want, go ahead and sue me!'
Feeling enraged, Lu Feng turned and walked away.
Seeing Lu Feng about to leave, San'er's father panicked and quickly said, 'Come back, let's discuss this properly. Even if you don't give half, you should still give more. One million yuan is too little.'
Lu Feng stopped in his tracks and turned back, saying, 'One million yuan is the most I can give. I can't afford to give any more. My company is on the verge of bankruptcy. If you don't take it now, next month, forget about one million, I won't even be able to come up with twenty thousand!'
Upon hearing Lu Feng's words, San'er's father hastily said, 'Alright, one million it is. Transfer the money to me right away.'
Lu Feng wasn't foolish enough to give them the money right away. He said, 'I can't give you the money now. I need to consult a lawyer and draw up an agreement. Once the agreement is signed, then I'll give you the money.'
Though San'er's father wasn't pleased, he still asked, 'When will we sign the agreement then?'
Lu Feng pursed his lips and said, 'Tomorrow afternoon.'
'Okay, tomorrow afternoon,' San'er's father agreed immediately.
After settling the matter, Lu Feng went home.
When San'er's parents arrived, San'er was overjoyed. Lying weakly in the hospital bed, she said, 'Mom, Dad, you're here!'
San'er's parents didn't know that San'er was unaware of her own condition. Dr. Chen had only informed them that San'er had suffered from placental abruption and had to have her uterus removed.
As soon as San'er's mother saw her daughter on the bed, tears welled up in her eyes and she cried, 'My poor daughter... What will you do in the future?'
San'er looked confused and asked, 'Mom, why are you crying?'
'Why am I crying? Something like this happened to you. Shouldn't I be sad?' San'er's mother replied, crying.
San'er's heart sank, and with a trembling voice, she asked, 'Mom, did something happen to the baby?'"
Upon hearing San'er's question, San'er's mother was stunned. "You don't know?"
San'er anxiously pleaded, "Know what? Mom, what are you talking about? What happened? Is something wrong with the child? Please, tell me quickly!"
San'er burst into tears out of anxiety. She knew very well that a premature baby couldn't possibly be fine.
