The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 296: Chapter 296 Let Me Go to Jail_1

Hai Xiaotang looked puzzled, “Where are we going?”

“Somewhere to talk.” Dongfang Yu’s voice was low, quite clearly not in the mood for further explanations.

Hai Xiaotang needed him, so she had no choice but to go along with whatever he said.

They got in the car and he drove her to a restaurant, ordering some of her favorite dishes.

Hai Xiaotang didn’t pay attention to what he ordered. Shifting her focus back to him, she said: “I know that I shouldn’t have come to find you, but my grandfather is very important to me. So…”

“Eat!” Dongfang Yu cut her off, “We’ll talk after the meal.”

“I don’t want to eat food…” Hai Xiaotang refused.

Dongfang Yu’s gaze darkened: “Just accompany me through this meal, then we can take our time to talk.”

“…”

Dongfang Yu wasted no time in grabbing his chopsticks, picking up some of her favorite dishes for her.

Only then did Hai Xiaotang realize that he had ordered all her favorite dishes…

But….

“I have no appetite.” Hai Xiaotang still refused. Her primary intention in finding him was to beg for his help to rescue her grandfather.

She genuinely had no appetite to eat at all.

Dongfang Yu continued to serve her food, his voice low, “I don’t have much of an appetite either. But perhaps eating with you would make it easier for me to some extent.”

“But I can’t swallow anything!” Hai Xiaotang responded coldly, “Dongfang Yu, I am here to beg you to spare my grandfather! What do I need to do to convince you to rescue him? If you have any conditions, name it. If not… then forget it.”

Dongfang Yu raised his eyes slightly, “So you came to beg me?”

Hai Xiaotang clenched her teeth, “Yes!”

“Since you’re here to beg, you can’t even eat a meal?”

“If I eat, will you promise me?!”

“The meal is simply a prerequisite for negotiation. If you don’t eat, there’s nothing to discuss!” Dongfang Yu’s voice was firm. He wasn’t open to negotiation.

Hai Xiaotang snorted sarcastically, “Fine, I’ll eat!”

She picked up her chopsticks to eat and eat fast.

Watching her, a hint of darkness flashed in Dongfang Yu’s eyes, “Eat slowly, we can’t negotiate until I’m finished eating.”

“…” Gripping her chopsticks, Hai Xiaotang decided to bear with it.

The meal went on in silence. One enduring impatiently, the other deliberately dragging out time.

After what felt like an eternity, Hai Xiaotang couldn’t hold back any longer, “Can we start now?”

Dongfang Yu put his chopsticks down, lifted his eyes to meet hers.

Hai Xiaotang fixed her gaze on him, “Can we negotiate? Can we?”

“Hai Xiaotang…” Dongfang Yu began in a low voice, totally ignoring her question, “We have already given up chasing him for so many responsibilities. Do you know how hard it is for us to give up on that?”

Hai Xiaotang’s eyes flickered!

She knew. She knew it was no small sacrifice that they had already made. That was why she felt guilty for adding to their burden by asking them to save her grandfather.

That’s why she decided to bargain with him.

“Let me go to jail. I will take responsibility for my grandfather’s sins. I don’t need him to confess anything. Just let me go to jail!” Hai Xiaotang spoke resolutely, “Dongfang Yu, my grandfather is old and can’t go to prison. I beg you to let me go instead. Please?”

Dongfang Yu’s jaw tightened, “You going to jail for him?”

Hai Xiaotang nodded, “Yes. I will take his place in jail. I’ll do anything. Anything to save him!”

“Hai Xiaotang, I already told you that we have waived too many accusations against him. Don’t you understand?!” Dongfang Yu was instantly enraged.

Enraged by the fact that she would so readily sacrifice herself for someone else’s sake! That kind of commitment!
