Chapter 1303: Severance!
"Tap..."
A footstep, slowly moving, towards Shen Hao...
"What... what do you want to do?!"
"Don't... don't come over!"
Seeing Hao Jian approaching, Shen Hao's expression changed. The originally strong gaze was now gone, leaving only those fearful eyes and a panicked face.
"Thud..."
The foot stopped, and at this moment, Hao Jian stood in front of Shen Hao, slightly lowered his head, and his indifferent gaze fell on Shen Hao.
Lips lightly parted: "What are you afraid of?"
Hearing this, Shen Hao's face froze, then he snorted coldly, his voice slightly trembling, "Kid, obediently give me one million, don't try any tricks!"
"I have people backing me up. My boss is someone from around here. If you dare mess with us, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle the consequences!"
"If any of our brothers lose a hair, our boss will make sure you, this arrogant kid, are left with no corpse!"
"Yes... no corpse left!"
Fearing that Hao Jian didn't understand, Shen Hao gritted his teeth and emphasized his tone.
The pain in his chest still spoke of Hao Jian's terror, but for that one million, even if he had to risk it, he was determined to get it!
"Smack!"
A slap suddenly flew over, hitting Shen Hao's cheek hard, the force directly sent Shen Hao flying away.
"You want this one million?"
Hao Jian slowly retracted his hand, coldly watching Shen Hao who had been sent flying over a meter away, his half face already swollen from the slap.
"What are you doing?!"
Seeing their son being bullied by this man over and over, Shen Hao's parents couldn't stand it anymore, their love for their son overcame their fear of Hao Jian.
Upon hearing this, Hao Jian sneered: "What am I doing?!"
He pointed at Shen Hao, looking at Shen Hao's parents, and snorted coldly: "This person is your son, yet he possesses negative traits that bring instability to society. As parents, not only did you fail to educate your own son, but you also let him become a cancer in society!"
"If not for him being Shen Ling's younger brother, I would have sent him to jail long ago. How could he still have the chance to be here?!"
At this point, Hao Jian suddenly noticed that Shen Hao's parents were still displaying an angry look, not at all acknowledging that the event was due to their fault. Hao Jian immediately felt that these people were beyond saving.
Laughably, he had wasted so much time here with these people...
Turning his head, ignoring Shen Hao's parents, he continued to focus his gaze on Shen Hao, shaking the check in his hand, tauntingly said: "This one million in my hand, the one million you want, it's right here. If you have the ability, you can take it, but where are your capabilities?"
"Haha, five of you couldn't even touch a single hair on me, and yet here you are talking like a narcissist. Alas, alas, who can you blame for lack of ability?"
Shen Hao, lying on the ground clutching his cheek, turned red with anger hearing Hao Jian's blunt words. Yet he dared not utter a random word because he feared that if he spoke wrong, he might lose the other half of his face too.
Seeing him like this, Hao Jian sneered even more. A coward like him, no wonder he only dared to bully women and never dared to oppose those stronger than him.
At the moment, Hao Jian found it somewhat boring. Should he really bother arguing so much with someone like this?
"A full-grown man, not disabled, with hands and feet; what money can't you earn? But instead, you rely on women for a living, don't you feel ashamed?!"
"Haha, if you don't feel ashamed, I feel ashamed for you!"
Hao Jian's laughter echoed around, making Shen Hao and the others' eyes instantly red, this kid dared to humiliate them like this?!
Filled with anger and wanting to regain their lost face, they suddenly realized that with their capabilities, they were no match for Hao Jian.
"If I were you, as a man relying on women to live, I'd rather just eat shit and die. Such men shouldn't even exist in this world!"
Hao Jian's words made Shen Hao and the others' faces look extremely ugly. This guy was blatantly belittling them, and in Shen Hao's view, Shen Ling was merely a tool to earn money. Was she a woman?!
He wasn't living off a woman; he was just taking the money she earned, when had he ever needed her to support him?!
The pity is, he dared not voice these words, because saying them meant he would face Hao Jian's attacks once again.
The intense pain that was near death, he didn't want to experience it again, so compared with arguing, this was a better way to avoid it.
"Hmph!"
Seeing the scene, Hao Jian snorted coldly, feeling somewhat uninterested. This time, he really couldn't be bothered to care, instead turning his head to look at Shen Ling's parents.
"Tap..."
He stepped forward and walked towards Shen Ling's parents, stopping three steps in front of them. His gaze was indifferent as he looked at the two of them.
"Clap!"
He casually tossed the million-yuan check in his hand in front of them. As the check suddenly flew towards them, they were so startled that they fumbled in panic. After all, it was a million yuan!
But since they were not in sync, the check that they could have caught fell to the ground. Seeing it on the ground, they bent down without any dignity and picked it up.
"Pathetic..."
Hao Jian shook his head and sighed. He couldn't understand how this family had survived until now. But facing this fact, Hao Jian didn't plan to look deeper and instead spoke slowly after they both picked up the check.
"Looking at you, maybe you don't want Shen Ling as your daughter anymore..."
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged glances without saying a word, but from beginning to end, Hao Jian saw the family's reaction and knew they had never truly cared about Shen Ling's existence. What he said wasn't wrong.
It was just that Shen Hao, seeing his parents get Hao Jian's million, was also very excited. After all, what his parents had was his.
This also meant he got that million. The gangsters lying on the ground saw this scene and were thrilled too.
They were involved today, and as the saying goes, "Those who see shall share." Moreover, they were part of the same faction, so Shen Hao had to give them a share.
If he didn't, they could report to the boss, and once the order came, Shen Hao would still have to split the money with them.
Seeing the expressions of these two, Hao Jian understood their intentions too and turned his head to look at Shen Ling, smirking, "It seems your parents have never really cared about you!"
Not far away, Shen Ling suddenly heard Hao Jian's voice, making her slightly startled. Then, her eyes reddened, and she turned her head away, not wanting to see the next scene.
She didn't have the courage to accept...
"I'm too lazy to waste words with you."
Looking at the two of them, Hao Jian's gaze was mocking as he said, "This million is not compensation, but a transaction."
"Since you don't want this daughter anymore and are just using her to make money, but even if she can earn, it's hard for her to earn this million, right?"
Pointing at Shen Ling, Hao Jian's voice slowly echoed, "Now I use this million to buy Shen Ling once and for all. From now on, she's mine and no longer belongs to you..."
"As for some things you're concerned about, there's no need to worry. Changing household registration is easy and won't leave you with any hidden troubles."
Hao Jian shrugged. In Hua City, it was easy for him to change such household issues. If he weren't afraid of trouble, he would've just looked for someone to change Shen Ling's registration.
"But once you agree to this transaction, don't think about contacting Shen Ling. After all, she has nothing to do with you. She's just bought by me."
"I'm saying this, and you have no objections, right?"
Hao Jian turned his head to look at Shen Ling, touching his nose, only to meet Shen Ling's tearful eyes, which made Hao Jian laugh awkwardly without continuing.
He knew that Shen Ling was extremely fragile inside at this moment. A little thing could completely shatter her already broken heart.
"This..."
Faced with Hao Jian's proposition, Shen Ling's father was very tempted, not to mention Shen Hao, who kept winking at his father from the ground, urging him to agree quickly.
For Shen Hao, since Shen Ling could sell for a million, it was really a gain! If it weren't for her having some purpose, he wouldn't have bothered with such a woman.
Do I still have a place in their hearts?
Seeing her father hesitate, the mist in Shen Ling's eyes slightly brightened, filled with hope. After so many years, claiming there were no feelings was a lie.
She very much wanted to escape this family, but these people were still her relatives, and with her personality, she couldn't let go. Hao Jian's words earlier took her by surprise.
She couldn't figure out why this man she'd only known for a few hours was willing to put out a million for her, with the very clear intention of having her leave this family.
She only hoped, as long as her parents refused, she would never agree to Hao Jian's proposal. There's no special reason; she just didn't want to do it.
"This... isn't this money a bit too little?"
Unfortunately, reality gave Shen Ling the final result of despair. As her father's voice reached her ears, the hope in Shen Ling's eyes suddenly dimmed, and her heart filled with endless bitterness.
