The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 557 - 554, The Beautiful Lady and Her Fragrant Car 7_1

Xu Xiaoya gave a meaningful look, but the two men didn’t move.

Xu Xiaoya said calmly, "Dad, what do you mean by this?"

Her father, infuriated, retorted, "What do I mean? *I’m* the one who should be asking what *you* mean! You ungrateful, insolent child! Look at you, coming back to grab money and then trying to run away?"

She glanced at her gathered brothers, sisters-in-law, and their families. It was obvious they had been prepared. They hadn’t found her immediately only because she had arrived in Yang Yongkai’s off-road vehicle. However, the town wasn’t big enough to keep her hidden for long. After two hours of her bustling about, they had finally caught up.

Everyone stared at her, their gazes intense. Her brothers and sisters-in-law remained silent, cold smirks on their faces.

She remained calm. "Dad, what do you want to do?"

More and more bystanders gathered. Her father shouted, his voice raw, "You ask me what I want to do? Fine, I’ll tell you! Since you no longer recognize us as family, we’ll just consider it as if we raised a thankless cur! But you have to repay us for all the years we spent raising you, from changing your diapers to paying for your education. That 500,000 you have—that’ll be the buyout fee! Give us that 500,000, and I’ll sever all father-daughter ties with you. We’ll be strangers until the day we die!"

All eyes fixed on Xu Xiaoya. Even though she had anticipated this outcome, it still felt like a knife twisting in her heart.

Her brother stepped forward. "Xu Xiaoya, you heard Dad, right? If you don’t hand over that support payment today, don’t even think about taking a single step out of here!"

Xu Xiaoya asked calmly, "So, you just want this 500,000, is that it?"

Her brother lost patience. "It’s not that we want it; it’s the support payments you owe our parents! Since you were capable of kicking our own mother out of your house, we don’t expect anything from you anymore. Don’t think I want a cent of your money. I’m doing what’s right, demanding this on behalf of our parents!"

Xu Xiaoya scanned the crowd, but there was no sign of her mother. She wondered if her mother didn’t dare to come, or if they hadn’t allowed her to.

"Dad!"

Her father glared. "You still have the nerve to call me Dad?"

"This 500,000 you mentioned today—I won’t give you a single penny! You want support payments, is that it? Fine, I’ll pay them, every last cent. But no law says it has to be paid all at once.

"Over the years, I’ve brought home millions that went into renovating the house and into your savings—I won’t even count that. I also agree to start paying your living expenses from next month..."

Her father exploded with rage. "Impossible! I want that 500,000 now!"

"Then go ahead and sue me. Whatever the court orders me to pay, I’ll give you, down to the last penny." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

With that, she turned and walked towards the car.

Her father, incandescent with fury, lunged after her. "I’ll kill you, you animal! You goddamned wretch...!"

Her brother also chased after her, and a crowd of people quickly surrounded the car.

Yang Yongkai and Liu Bing were prepared. They yanked open the car door and pushed Xu Xiaoya inside. They shoved her father aside and then grabbed Xu Xiaoya’s younger brother, who was rushing towards them.

Yang Yongkai practically lifted her younger brother off his feet, roaring, "Who dares to approach? Anyone takes another step, and I’ll beat him to death today!"

The crowd was instantly cowed.

The sisters-in-laws’ families had initially relied on their superior numbers, confident they could surround the car. They were even prepared to fight to seize the money. But seeing this, they were utterly stunned, exchanging uncertain glances.

Yang Yongkai decisively lifted the younger brother higher, until his head was inches from the hard stone of the fence. He snarled fiercely, "Get back! All of you, get out of the way!..."
