A voice-over said, "If you don't agree, I can't guarantee what I'll do to Yan Zi Tong."
Yan Xi frowned upon hearing Mu Huai's words.
"Miss Yan, you don't need to worry. As long as you cooperate with me, I promise it will be a win-win situation for both of us."
A win-win situation. Yan Xi found Mu Huai's words amusing.
If Yan Xi chose to return to Fu Yan Ting's side, after Fu Yan Ting died, his fortune would go to Yan Zi Tong and Yan Fei Fei. But now, this man not only wanted a share but also claimed they were in a win-win situation.
Such shamelessness, masked by grand pronouncements, made Yan Xi laugh.
Seeing Yan Xi laugh, Mu Huai asked indifferently, "Miss Yan, what are you laughing about?"
"I'm laughing at your overestimation of yourself. Why would you think I would cooperate with you? To help you achieve your goals by harming Fu Yan Ting."
"Miss Yan, it's alright if you don't agree. However, in that case, your young master and your daughter will have to suffer."
After speaking, Mu Huai observed Yan Xi. Seeing that Yan Xi's expression remained unchanged, Mu Huai sneered inwardly. This woman truly wouldn't shed tears until she saw the coffin.
Did she really think he, Mu Huai, would dare to sit here and negotiate terms without absolute confidence?
"Miss Yan, we both know very well that Yan Zi Tong and Yan Fei Fei are Fu Yan Ting's children. If you refuse my request, I can easily send them to Fu Yan Ting. Guess what Fu Yan Ting would do if he knew he had a son and daughter still alive in this world?"
"Are you threatening me?"
Yan Xi clenched her fists tightly, her gaze fixed on Mu Huai as she questioned him coldly.
"Miss Yan, isn't this a negotiation for cooperation? Why do you say I'm threatening you? But you also know I'm a businessman. I don't fail in the deals I want to make. If you refuse to cooperate, I'll have to find other ways."
Yan Xi knew Mu Huai was doing this intentionally. However, Yan Zi Tong and Yan Fei Fei were Yan Xi's life. Yan Xi would not risk them.
After a period of internal struggle, Yan Xi decided to compromise with Mu Huai for now. She would find other solutions once she rescued Yan Zi Tong.
Yan Xi's entire focus was on Mu Huai, completely unaware that in a corner of the coffee shop, Xia Shi Xue sat silently, seemingly waiting for something.
"Alright, I'll cooperate with you. But I want to see my child now. I need to ensure he is safe and sound."
"Miss Yan, I will allow you to video chat with your son every day. However, I won't let you see him until you complete your task."
Yan Xi had always known Mu Huai was a smiling tiger. The sunnier his smile, the more powerful the schemes hidden within. It was the same now.
Although Mu Huai was smiling at Yan Xi, the scene made Yan Xi feel a shiver down her spine.
Yan Xi's heart was in turmoil. She didn't want to hurt Fu Yan Ting. Having finally broken all ties with him, Yan Xi wanted no further contact.
But Yan Zi Tong was the treasure Yan Xi had exchanged her life for. Yan Xi couldn't bear to do anything that would harm him.
Both Yan Zi Tong and Fu Yan Ting were the most important people in Yan Xi's life. Yan Xi didn't want to see either of them in trouble.
"Miss Yan, I can only give you ten minutes to consider. The timer starts now."
Yan Xi kept her lips tightly closed, sitting there motionless.
Mu Huai picked up his coffee and took a sip, tapping his other hand rhythmically on the table.
Ten minutes passed. Mu Huai, with the demeanor of a victor, looked at Yan Xi and asked, "Miss Yan, have you made your decision?"
"Alright, I agree to cooperate with you."
Upon hearing Yan Xi's answer, Xia Shi Xue's lips curved upwards slightly, forming a beautiful arc.
"Miss Yan, here's to our cooperation."
Mu Huai extended his right hand, intending to shake Yan Xi's hand in amity. However, Yan Xi refused.
Yan Xi didn't want to spend another moment with Mu Huai. She stood up and left the coffee shop.
At the same time, Xia Shi Xue also stood up and walked towards Mu Huai.
Mu Huai glanced at Xia Shi Xue and asked, "Have you made all the necessary preparations?"
Xia Shi Xue waved her phone, responding with a proud smile, "Of course."
Mu Huai was still somewhat uneasy. After all, the entire world knew about Xia Shi Xue's feelings for Fu Yan Ting.
Forcing Xia Shi Xue to harm Fu Yan Ting so rashly might be very difficult for her.
Mu Huai cautioned, "As long as you follow my plan and don't act rashly, I can guarantee that in the end, Fu Yan Ting will be with you."
"I can't completely believe you when you say that. After all, you are not Fu Yan Ting, and you know how deeply Fu Yan Ting loves Yan Xi. It's just a pity that woman doesn't cherish him and keeps hurting him."
Hearing Xia Shi Xue's complaint, Mu Huai's lips curled as he retorted, "If Fu Yan Ting knew that Yan Xi's purpose for approaching him this time, do you think he would still love her?"
Xia Shi Xue paused for a moment. Even if Fu Yan Ting didn't love Yan Xi anymore, Mu Qing Xiang would never agree to Fu Yan Ting being with Yan Xi again.
Thinking of this, Xia Shi Xue felt a little better.
However, she soon thought of another problem. She frowned slightly and asked, "Even if Fu Yan Ting no longer loves Yan Xi, who can guarantee that Yan Xi won't fall in love with Fu Yan Ting? That woman's heart is so deep, she can resort to any means to achieve her goals. Can you guarantee she won't betray you for Fu Yan Ting?"
Xia Shi Xue was genuinely worried that Yan Xi would fall in love with Fu Yan Ting.
Given how much Fu Yan Ting cared about Yan Xi, if Yan Xi fell in love with Fu Yan Ting again, their reconciliation would not be difficult. This was what Xia Shi Xue feared and cared about the most.
"Otherwise, what do you think I had you come to record for? As long as Yan Xi falls in love with Fu Yan Ting and disrupts our plan, I can expose Yan Xi's true colors to Fu Yan Ting at any time. Fu Yan Ting grew up in the Fu family and has seen too many such schemes. Therefore, he finds them repulsive. Once Fu Yan Ting knows Yan Xi's purpose for approaching him, he will definitely not choose her."
Xia Shi Xue was stunned. She hadn't expected Mu Huai to have thought through all these details. Since Mu Huai had said so much, Xia Shi Xue had nothing more to worry about.
Fine, let Yan Xi return to Fu Yan Ting's side so that Fu Yan Ting could see Yan Xi's true face clearly.
Let Fu Yan Ting know who the woman who truly cared about him in this world was.
