Chapter 945 — Then I'll Give You Ten Billion!

"Hmph, spare me the drivel. My terms — have you thought them over or not?" Yu Bide cut him off and demanded outright.
"The group's shares, I will transfer to the Yu family in full, without compensation. But as for my daughter, I beg the Yu family to show some mercy!" Gu Pengzhan knew he could not get away now, so he was making his final struggle.
"Mercy? What a joke!" Yu Bide snorted coldly. "When your daughter had that little bastard Wei Zhao kill my son, did she think of showing any mercy?"
"In the end, was it not Xiaoyi who showed mercy and let your son live?" Gu Pengzhan replied, neither cringing nor blustering.
"Yes — and it is precisely because my son did not die that I let your daughter serve him as a concubine! I showed mercy too. Otherwise I would have simply killed your daughter and married her to my son in the underworld!" Yu Bide glared at Gu Pengzhan and raged.
"Mr. Yu, when all is said and done, it was your son who trespassed into my daughter's villa without permission, and that is what brought about this outcome..." Gu Pengzhan argued his case on principle. This was the final hour, and though he knew reasoning with the Yu family would most likely get him nowhere, he had to fight for it!
If the Yu family truly carried Gu Mengyao away, then the Gu family would be finished indeed!
"What? Are you saying my Yu family is at fault? Are you saying my son brought it on himself? Is that what you mean? Do you dare say it again?" Yu Bide's face instantly took on a sinister look.
"I didn't say that. I only hope that you, Mr. Yu, will let my daughter go!" Gu Mengyao paused for a moment, then said, "If you are willing to let my daughter go, I will agree to whatever terms you propose!"
"Fine! Give my Yu family ten billion, and I'll let your daughter go. How about that? Fair enough? Buying a life with money!" Yu Bide laughed heartily.
"You—" Gu Pengzhan's face flushed red at once. The Yu family's terms were simply unreasonable! Ten billion—where was he supposed to come up with ten billion? Wasn't this deliberately making things difficult for him?
"What, Mr. Gu, are you reluctant to part with your money now, unwilling to buy a life with it?" A trace of mockery flickered at the corner of Yu Bide's mouth. "In that case, don't say that Yu never gave you a chance!"
"Phew!" Gu Pengzhan drew a deep breath and worked hard to calm his emotions. He must not lose his temper, Gu Pengzhan reminded himself. This was not the time to tear all pretenses with the Yu family. He had to endure it—he absolutely had to endure it!
"Mr. Yu, ten billion—aren't you forcing a man to do what he cannot?" Gu Pengzhan asked in a low voice.
"What? Gu Pengzhan, do you think your daughter isn't worth ten billion?" Yu Bide retorted.
"Mr. Yu, but you also know that I cannot produce ten billion," Gu Pengzhan said with some helplessness. At this moment, he was no longer the lofty president of a conglomerate, but a loving father who would set aside any pride and dignity for his daughter.
