The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

"You're just thinking that I can find her again later, but by then, she'll have already gotten what she wanted over there. Will she still come back? Besides, I also think that you, Miss Tong, are not the type to easily give your people away to others. So if I said I could give you our courtesan, could you put your Yun girl in our teahouse?"

As he said this, he looked at Tong Qian with great interest, eager to see what kind of explanation she would give.

As Tong Qian listened to him talk about Yun Yatou, she sneered inwardly. This Boss Li really wouldn't let go of any opportunity. Yun Yatou was the first person she found at that time. If she hadn't planned on it, she wouldn't have cared so much about these things. But having thought so much about it, how could she have done such a thing?

But when it came to Yun Yatou and her drama troupe, how could she easily give in to his wishes? Looking at his cunning eyes, she simply said, "If I take your courtesan away and give you three hundred taels of silver, do you think such a deal is worthwhile?"

Upon hearing the figure of three hundred taels, Boss Li's eyes widened in shock. "What did you say? You're going to take her away and give me three hundred taels of silver? Are you serious?" As he spoke, he also looked at the young girl sitting in front of him seriously for the first time.

He remained distrustful and said, "How could you have so much money at such a young age? You're probably just telling me this for no reason."

Tong Qian looked at his questioning gaze and shook her head. "Boss Li, you don't need to worry about whether I have money or not. As long as I dare to say it, you should believe that I can definitely do it. Instead of worrying about this, you should think about whether you really want to let Kui'er and me leave."

“I know that you brought Kui’er back, and her contract is still in your hands. So what I want is not only her as a person, but also her contract. The most important thing is that I took her away not to make her someone’s possession, but to make her someone who lives only for herself.”

Looking at the determined look on her face, Boss Li knew that what she was saying was sincere. He had previously thought that since she had come back with him, she should help him unconditionally, but he had forgotten that he had brought her back under such circumstances.

Tong Qian looked at Boss Li's slightly surprised expression and continued calmly, "Actually, you never knew, did you? The life she wanted wasn't about standing carefree in the middle of a crowd, forced to hypocritically flatter and agree with so many people. It was about simply living her own life."

"Even if the food and accommodation aren't very good, what she still craves is a sense of respect, something that nothing can replace. Although you've given her many things, including the admiration of so many people, you've overlooked that fatal flaw."

"So this is also a very important reason why I want to take her away. But even if we don't look at it from her own perspective, just from the perspective of your teahouse, you should understand that there is only one Kui'er. Now, if I want, there can be countless Kui'ers. What use do you think it is to keep such a Kui'er?"

When Kui'er, who was standing behind the screen, heard these words, she couldn't help but tremble. She had no doubt about the truth of what Tong Qian had just said. Even with just a brief understanding, she could tell that Tong Qian really had that ability. What she didn't know was why Tong Qian had come to her if she could do that.

Looking at Kui'er like this, Yun felt a little sorry for her, but what Miss Tong said was indeed true. Although she knew that Kui'er was saying this to put herself in a more proactive position in her communication with the boss, she couldn't let Kui'er take herself too seriously just because of her momentary reluctance.

Listening to Tong Qian's aggressive words and thinking about the three hundred taels of silver she had promised him, Boss Li was calculating in his mind. If Kui'er were to earn the silver herself, she hadn't earned three hundred taels of silver in all this time she had been here, let alone in the future.

Moreover, now even the customers are already being drawn away and not many will leave, and there will definitely be even fewer in the future. As the days go by, the things that Kui'er can use to attract people will become weaker and weaker. At that time, how will she still be able to get so much money from her? Thinking about this, I was deeply moved.

After a pause, he said, "Miss Tong, I can grant you this request, but my only condition is that when you bring the three hundred taels of silver, I will let her leave with you and write a document stating that Kui'er will only obey your orders and has nothing to do with me, and that no one is allowed to disturb her for any reason."

When Yun Yatou heard what Boss Li said outside, she instinctively looked at Kui'er, her heart filled with worry. She wondered if Kui'er felt abandoned again. Sure enough, she saw that Kui'er's face had turned pale.

She wanted to say something, but she knew that whatever she said at this moment would be utterly ineffective and unable to change her mood. All she could do was hold her tightly clenched, red hands, trying to warm her as much as possible with her own strength.

Kui'er was still reeling from Tong Qian's words when she heard Boss Li's final remarks. She felt ridiculous for always expecting things that shouldn't be hers. In fact, when Tong Qian asked Boss Li about the deal...

She was constantly worried, afraid that her decision was wrong, afraid that her decision would make Boss Li think that she had forgotten the kindness she had shown him and everything she had said before. But she never expected that she was only worth three hundred taels of silver.

I thought his rejection was because of my importance, but the truth is that after hearing about the money, he gave up on me without any hesitation.
