Chapter 28: did you do it with her? (1/2)
”Come and live at the main house.” He ignores my sarcastic remark. ”From now on, you will get all the rights that you should have as a daughter of mine. I am choosing you as the heir of the F corporation.”
I can't help but laugh at his words. This man has never treated me as his daughter. I ask him to cut me out of the family register and he changes his tune. He is saying that he will recognize me as his daughter from now on. If I believe his words, then I am a dog.
”You want to dupe me?” I raise my brow. ”I don't want F corporation. You can't entice me with the position of the heir.”
Who wants his money? Taking this offer means getting a collar around my neck.
”What do you want then?” His expression turns grave. ”You seem interested in that boy. It's not legal to buy him as a... ”
He becomes silent. He looks away, slightly embarrassed. He didn't seem to be embarrassed when he offered to buy the gigolo in the headmaster's office. He must have lost his reasons due to anger at that time. Why he is still uttering nonsense now?
”Gigolo.” I help him with the words. ”Male prostitute.”
He clears his throat awkwardly. He doesn't meet my eyes. ”I tried to pay for him. His mother denied it by saying that it's not legal to sell an underaged boy. It's okay to book him unofficially. When he becomes an adult, he will come to the Fang family and become yours permanently. Until then, she asked me to engage you to him to take care of the media.”
I stare at him. Is he normal? Sung Jun's mother doesn't seem normal either. Are both of them conspiring against me? What kind of mother agrees to sell her son? What kind of father buys a gigolo for his daughter? I just can't wrap my head around it.
I can't make sense of what they are actually thinking. Seeing ghosts make more sense. I prefer dealing with my grandfather most. At least, he acts like a normal selfish old man.
”I don't want that boy. I don't want to be engaged to him.”
”It's already done.” He doesn't glance at me. His shoulders are tensed. ”If you want something else, tell me directly. Move to the main house.”
I get it. These are just tactics to keep me in the family. Until I become legally adult, I have no choice.
It doesn't matter what I say. He's going to keep me tied to the Fang family.
”You want to know what I want?” I cross my arms. It's annoying to see that he's not meeting my eyes. ”I will break all ties with you when I become an adult. You can't stop me then.”
”Fang Aisa.” Fang Qi glares at me. ”You don't understand anything. Just do as I say.”
