Chapter 130 Suppression
Xi Yu remembers the 'Xianting' coffee shop.
That's where the original owner unwittingly signed the contract to sell himself into servitude.
The person who contacted them identified himself as Fu Baili...
Xi Yu did not find this name in the original owner's memories. Perhaps the original owner did not even listen carefully when the other party said his name?
So... this person is her nameless husband?
Xi Yu gave a barely perceptible hum, continued folding the clothes in her hands, and said in a calm voice, "Hello, Mr. Fu."
The cold, indifferent, calm voice startled Fu Baili.
He vaguely remembered that the girl with long hair covering her face spoke timidly and softly, which was completely different from her calm and composed tone now.
"You are Miss Xi Yu, right?" He felt a little uncertain. The girl's voice was undoubtedly the same, but the tone of voice was different.
Xi Yu reminded him with a half-smile: "Personal terminals are for identity verification."
Fu Baili coughed lightly, feeling embarrassed by her mockery, but also secretly alarmed. He had lost control after only two sentences; he had a feeling that the person he was talking to wasn't an eighteen-year-old girl, but a seasoned negotiator.
"Mr. Fu, did you come to see me about the engagement?" Xi Yu asked casually while packing her luggage.
“Ahem, yes.” Fu Baili felt like he had been led around the whole time, so he quickly added, “Regarding the time limit clause in the marriage contract, we plan to amend it to shorten the term so that Miss Xi Yu can regain her freedom as soon as possible.”
Xi Yu raised an eyebrow, not falling into Fu Baili's conversational trap.
She slightly curled her lips and said casually, "Oh, so what's in it for me?"
Fu Baili choked, feeling a headache coming on from her unpredictable behavior. Logically speaking, shouldn't the woman be at a disadvantage in this situation and be eager to break free from the shackles of the unknown marriage contract?
Xi Yu waited patiently for his reply. He was the one who was anxious now, having already lost his momentum when Xi Yu took the initiative to contact him.
You know, she's been suffering for so many days because of this inexplicable marriage contract, how can she not get some interest back now?
"After the engagement is dissolved, you will receive an additional ten million yuan in compensation." Fu Baili secretly reduced Yan San's initial offer of fifty million to ten million. He was not entirely sure about the other party and was worried that offering too high a price at the beginning would make the other party think that there was something to gain.
"Ten million..." Xi Yu dragged out the last syllable, her tone not entirely satisfied.
Fu Baili sneered inwardly. Sure enough, she was insatiable and never satisfied. But just as he was about to ridicule her, she continued to speak.
"Deal, ten million it is." Xi Yu felt she had had enough fun and casually agreed. She just wanted this uncomfortable engagement to be dissolved as soon as possible.
Fu Baili never expected her to agree so readily! He had imagined that she would haggle for a while, and that he would gradually increase the compensation amount after further negotiations.
But after all that buildup, she simply said "deal" and that was it?
Fu Baili felt a pent-up frustration with nowhere to vent it, making him feel very uncomfortable.
"In that case, I will come to City A in three days to complete the formalities with you." He suppressed the urge to curse, but his tone had clearly lost its initial calm and gentleness.
“No.” Xi Yu smiled and said something that made Fu Baili devastate: “I will be leaving City A tomorrow and won’t be back for a long time.”
