It was just this morning that they had a fallout, and now they had to meet again. Sun Ling’s father thought Sun Ling must have gotten scared, so he sat down early in the coffee shop’s window booth, looking pleased with himself. Sun Ling suppressed her intense discomfort and took a seat opposite her father. Of course, Jing Yizhou was sitting next to Sun Ling, back-to-back with her. "What now? Made a scene at the police station this morning and think it looked bad, so you’ve come to your senses?" Sun Ling’s father stirred his coffee, revealing a cold smirk, "Xiaoling, it’s not Dad criticizing you, but an arm can’t twist a thigh." "Money, I can’t give you any."

"But I can help you fulfill your longstanding wish of having a son." After hearing this, Sun Ling’s father looked at her incredulously, "I thought you were strongly opposed to me having another son? Have you changed your mind now? Besides, can a son just be had whenever one wishes?" "In Thailand, IVF allows for gender selection," Sun Ling said, "I’ll let you have a son and promise that if the day comes when you no longer have the capacity to care for him, I, as his sister, will take care of this brother. However, you won’t get a single cent from me." "Xiaoling, now that you’ve done all this, isn’t it time to go all the way?" Sun Ling knew he would push for more and coldly said, "If you’re still delusional about anything else, I can also tell you that we can meet in court. I have the backing of Shuangshi, with the Yian Family’s best legal team. Even if I have to fulfill my duty to provide for you, guess how much per month it would be? A hundred thousand? Don’t dream on." "Choose between having a son and going to court." "Also, I’ve already handled the immigration paperwork for my mother. You won’t have a chance to bother her anymore." "That’s all I have to say. Make your choice and call me. I will arrange your dates and the itinerary for Thailand." "Lastly, Mr. Sun, don’t be too greedy; otherwise, it will be a lose-lose situation for everyone." Having said that, Sun Ling got up from the booth, even though the waiter had just brought a glass of lemon water. "Pay the bill, including for this gentleman next to me." Indeed, the word "son" had a great appeal to Sun Ling’s father. Moreover, going to court with Sun Ling wasn’t what he wanted. He was just after money, and more importantly, he knew well that the money he could get from a court would only cover his daily expenses. Instead of money, having a son might be more substantial. In the car, Sun Ling and Jing Yizhou were already on the way back. Jing Yizhou looked at Sun Ling and then said with a smile, "I didn’t expect you to be quite distinctive when you get tough." "Distinctiveness? I just want to throw the trash far away," Sun Ling scoffed. "Are you so sure that he won’t repeat his old tricks once he has a son?" "That’s why he needs a formidable woman." Shi Lan had already set Xun Yinghua to start making arrangements on Sun Ling’s behalf; it would definitely be a big surprise for Sun Ling’s father. "It seems your important strategist has already thought of a way out for you." Sun Ling frowned, feeling that there was a hint of sarcasm in Jing Yizhou’s words. "The whole country knows I was once An Lan’s assistant. You wouldn’t be unaware of that, right? My boss is An Lan."
