But as compensation, she had also agreed to be with Shang Dongyuan for a month.
Of course, this so‑called deal was sothing she could never tell Shang Bifang about.
So, she could only endure.
Just treat it as her reaching way above her station for Shang Dongyuan...
"Uncle is right. Dongyuan really has helped a lot." Chu Xiaoge lowered her head, forcing down that restless surge in her heart, slowly calming herself.
In fact, all she had to do was stand here and listen to Shang Bifang talk.
After all, there was no way she could ever marry into the Shang Family in this lifeti.
"Say it, how much do you want before you’re willing to leave?" Shang Bifang continued to snort coldly, not even willing to spare Chu Xiaoge another glance.
If it weren’t for this woman’s sudden appearance, their marriage alliance with the Lou Family wouldn’t have been ruined.
Now everyone outside was talking about this ridiculous scandal of Shang Dongyuan’s, and the Shang Family’s face was about to be completely lost!
Shang Bifang’s words, and that utterly disdainful tone, pierced straight into Chu Xiaoge’s heart.
She clenched her teeth and kept shaking her head. "I don’t want money. I’ll leave with Chuchu as soon as possible, and from now on I will never have any further entanglent with your Shang Family."
"You can go, but since Chuchu carries the Shang bloodline, she must stay." Shang Bifang stated clearly.
The Shang Family didn’t want Chu Xiaoge, but they wanted Chuchu.
This was exactly what Chu Xiaoge had been worried about before, and also one of the most important reasons why she hadn’t directly told Shang Dongyuan that Chuchu was his daughter!
The people of the Shang Family really were just as she’d expected—they would rack their brains trying to snatch Chuchu away!
A sudden wave of panic surged up in her chest, and Chu Xiaoge’s heart tightened violently!
Things absolutely could not be allowed to develop in an even more terrifying direction, and she absolutely could not give up Chuchu!
Taking a deep breath, Chu Xiaoge gritted her teeth, her tone serious and tense. "Chuchu is my child. I will be taking her with ."
"Young lady, don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. If I, Shang Bifang, want to keep my granddaughter, who would dare say anything? As for you, just the daughter of an ordinary working‑class family, what power do you have to fight the Shang Family? You’d better be sensible, take the money, leave A City, and never co back! Otherwise..."
"Otherwise, are you planning to kill ?" Chu Xiaoge’s voice turned icy; she hadn’t expected Shang Bifang’s stance to be this firm.
All this coercion and temptation, just to force her to leave Chuchu, is that it?
Chuchu was her daughter. There was absolutely no way she would leave Chuchu!
"You can try ." Shang Bifang’s expression didn’t change as he uttered those ambiguous words, but there was indeed a murderous gleam in his eyes.
That killing intent made Chu Xiaoge’s heart suddenly chill.
Indeed, in their Chu Family they had neither power nor money; if Shang Bifang truly wanted to do sothing, she might not even have the chance to struggle on the brink of death.
Then what should she do?
Was she supposed to just let the people of the Shang Family trample all over her like this?
No... she couldn’t keep swallowing this humiliation.
Her cowardice would only fuel the arrogance of the Shang Family!
"Our Chu Family really has no money and no power. But Uncle, don’t forget, Murong Jialan is my friend, and Xing Chen’s wife, Ran Xiangsi, is also my friend. If you insist on doing this, I’ll have no choice but to beg my friends for help."
Chu Xiaoge was genuinely grateful she had two such formidable friends, whom she could drag out to block bullets for her at a critical mont.
"Xing Chen?" Shang Bifang repeated the na, and imdiately fell silent.
Even though Xing Chen had left A City five years ago, that na was still a legendary existence in A City!
