Chapter 176: Two contracts
The discussion ended thirty minutes later. Huian excitedly came to them.
“Dad, What happened?” She was sure that the decision is in her favor.
Jinhai silently gazed at Nana. She looked back and felt as if he was desperately trying to convey something.
Xiang Wei said, “We have deliberated on this matter and have come to a decision, that Nana will…hand over the child to Huian after she gives birth. We will give her compensation.”
Huian’s faced brightened.
“Thank you, Dad! I know you won’t let me down.”
Xiang Wei clenched his hands into a fist. Xiang Qingge did not meet her eye.
Grandma Liu heaved a sigh of relief.
Well, if Liu Hai and Jinhai have agreed, then there is no issue.
The twins roared. “What!! How dare you! This is injustice. The child is Nee-chan’s. Why will she hand him over to her!?”
Chen Liling furiously said, “Brother, Jinhai. How can you do this!? How can you both be so insensitive!”
Huian smiled. “It is already decided now. And we are not leaving her empty-handed, right? Don’t worry. Jinhai and I will raise him together, right, Jinhai?”
The twins wished to tear off her face.
Jinhai said nothing. His gaze was only strongly focused on Nana.
Nana found it difficult to breathe. She was still looking at Jinhai, but her vision was slowly blurring due to tears.
No…I won’t give up my child.
She clutched her stomach.
Jinhai saw her trembling, and a thought struck him. He rushed to her side and hugged her. “Nana, are you okay? You were going to collapse.”
Huh? Collapse? When?
Nana was confused being suddenly taken into his embrace.
Jinhai’s face was now partly blocked by her hair. He grabbed this chance and whispered into her ear. “Trust me—one day. Give us one day. Nobody is taking our child from you anywhere.”
The determination in his voice assured her. She glanced at Liu Hai, and he nodded that was barely noticeable.
Jing noticed their interaction and was satisfied. Anyway, he had full trust in his brother and father.
She understood and mumbled. “En.”
He smiled and pecked her ear.
Huian was watching the whole scene, shooting deathly glares at Nana.
Jinhai started to act being panic. “Nana, are you okay? Please forgive me for being so unfair.”
Yukito angrily said, “Brother Liu Jinhai, we don’t want your sorry. If my nephew or niece has to raised by that scheming woman just to get recognized by the Liu family, then we don’t want this recognition!”
Yukira nodded furiously. “Nee-chan and we brothers will take the whole responsibility, but we won’t ever hand over the baby!”
Jing started to panic.
No, no, my Yukito is misunderstanding my brother. Oh, God, what should I do now?
Huian sneered in her mind.
No use shouting now. I won. And I have already planned what to do ahead. Let Nana give birth. Slowly, I will begin to poison Jinhai’s mind against that b*stard child. I will leave no chance to create a misunderstanding between them. I will make Jinhai hate his own child until he will be disgusted and kick him out of Liu family.
“Yukito, Yukira,” Nana said. “Calm down.”
“But-“
She blinked her eyes, and they reluctantly stopped.
Xiang Wei looked at his daughter. “Huian. Even if the decision is in your favor, but it is not over yet. You still have to do something.”
“What?” Huian was too excited, celebrating her win. She was ready to do anything.
He looked at Liu Hai, and Liu Hai nodded back.
“This whole matter will not be committed only on verbal promises. We will have a written record as well. We will draft a contract so that everything is on paper.”
“I don’t understand.”
“We will draft two contracts. One between Jinhai and Nana that will state that Nana will hand over their child after she gives birth. Jinhai will fulfill whatever and how much ever compensation she will demand.”
Huian nodded.
“Another contract will be between you and Jinhai that will state that you will raise the child wholeheartedly with love and care. You will properly fulfill your duties as the mother. Jinhai will not divorce you. But, if you tried to harm the child in any way or fail in your duties, then Jinhai will have the right to divorce you and take back the right from you to raise the child any further.”
What!?
This contract will bind her not to do anything against that child!
“B-but, dad…”
Xiang Wei raised his hand. “No, Huian. We cannot trust your words that you will fairly raise their child when just an hour ago, you were only cursing him. At this point, your verbal promises mean nothing. We have to think about the safety of the child as well, sorry to say, but from you.”
She awkwardly smiled.
“Okay, dad…”
She was okay with this little compromise as long as she doesn’t have to divorce Jinhai.
Grandma Liu also nothing felt wrong about it. It was plausible that no one will trust Huian that easily after everything she had done, especially a jealous wife who has to raise her husband’s child from another woman.
Xiang Wei asked Nana, “Nana, are you…fine with it?”
Jinhai quietly squeezed her finger.
Nana felt the gentle tug and weakly nodded.
Huian feigned to be happy. She walked up to her and tried to hold her hand, but Jinhai stopped her.
“Don’t you dare touch her.”
Her smile froze. But she said nothing. She felt horrible seeing Jinhai so protective of Nana.
“I just wanted to thank Nana. I was rude and behaved terribly.” She looked at Nana. “I apologize for the things I said. Thank you, Nana, for understanding and agreeing to this. You really have a big heart. I’m sorry for being so selfish. But I promise I will take good care of your child.”
Chen Liling scoffed.
The twins wanted to strangle her!
Nana refused even to spare a glance.
Huian nervously asked, “Then Jinhai…you will come back to live here in Liu villa, right?”
