After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor-Chapter 259 - 260: From Now On, I Am Your Family (1)

Lou Xi did indeed go out just now, but she was worried about what might happen in the main hall, so she stood outside, thinking that she could be the first to go in if something happened.

She couldn’t let Qin Mobai suffer any grievances.

But what she heard outside the door was that they were using a money exchange to decide whether she would stay or leave.

This feeling made Lou Xi feel like she was meat on a chopping board, to be bought and sold at will.

She knew that Qin Mobai probably didn’t mean it that way, but when she encountered such a thing, Lou Xi couldn’t stay calm.

"I will repay you for raising me; I won’t let the years you spent be in vain. Over the years, I think you have feelings for me too. If I marry Mobai, you wouldn’t be selling your daughter, you’d be marrying off your daughter."

Lou Xi thought that if there was still feeling between them, Yang Lihua and the others wouldn’t accept this five million, unless they never planned to recognize Lou Xi as their daughter again.

But often, human hearts cannot withstand any test, especially someone who never really cared about Lou Xi before.

However, as Lou Jian Country saw Lou Xi appear, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. After all, he had raised her for so many years. If exchanging her for money meant he raised Lou Xi for so long just for this five million?

But that wasn’t the case. When they took in Lou Xi, they never thought she would be with a particularly wealthy man, or that there would be five million involved.

However, when Qin Mobai laid five million in front of him, he still hesitated.

After all, five million!

It’s the amount of money that ordinary people could not earn in a lifetime, and now someone wants to give it to them for free—how could he not be tempted?

Facing such a big matter, Yang Lihua couldn’t make the decision alone. After all, the head of the house was still Lou Jian Country. She repeatedly turned to look at Lou Jian Country, hoping he would agree immediately, take the five million, and send Lou Xi away.

But Lou Jian Country remained silent, neither accepting the five million nor rejecting it.

Seeing Lou Jian Country’s silence, Lou Xi’s heart sank little by little, afraid that he would indeed agree to take the five million.

Although she had no blood relation to Lou Jian Country and the others, living together for so many years, sharing meals at the same table—how could there be no feelings?

Moreover, if Lou Jian Country really accepted Qin Mobai’s money, then Lou Xi would become an orphan.

She would truly become a child with no one to rely on, no home from then on.

No matter how warm a home Qin Mobai gave Lou Xi, it couldn’t fill the void in her heart.

She shook her head, tears brimming in her eyes, hoping Lou Jian Country would refuse.

"Why are you hesitating? Just take the money, what’s there to think about?" Yang Lihua urged, fearing Lou Jian Country would refuse the money. "Think about our daughter still in school. I want to send her abroad for her studies in the future. Without money, how can she succeed? You need to recognize who your real daughter is."

As Yang Lihua said those words, Qin Mobai pulled Lou Xi to his side, holding her hand tightly.

He knew she was hurting.

He had tried to prevent her from encountering such things, but sometimes it’s better to face the harsh truth. Otherwise, the people Lou Xi treated with genuine feelings never reciprocated, which was very unfair to her.
