Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit

Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Don’t You Want to See Your Daughter?

Ye Chuyi was taken aback, "What did you say? You sold the clothes and shoes I bought for you?"

"Of course I sold them! What the hell does a man need so many new clothes for? Obviously, I sold them to get money. I owe Youyou so much, I have to find a way to make it up to her somehow!"

"So, you gave all the money from selling the clothes and shoes to Wen Nianyou?"

"What’s wrong with giving money to Youyou? Are you jealous? Youyou is my biological daughter, you can’t compare yourself to her. You need to know your place!"

Shi Youjin impatiently said, "The owner of the stall next to mine told me, each piece of those clothes is worth thousands of yuan. You must be rich to buy such expensive clothes, so give me the money! All of it!"

Ye Chuyi wanted to slap herself. Why did she bother to bail Shi Youjin out of prison? Why did she buy him new clothes and shoes?! He wasn’t human; he was scum!

All he ever thought about was his biological daughter. If he had the slightest bit of money, he had to send it to Wen Nianyou. With no money, he would sell everything she bought to give Wen Nianyou the money.

Since he loved his daughter so much, then she would indulge Shi Youjin!

She would call Wen Nianyou!

"I can transfer the money to you, but you don’t have a bank card, do you? Where should I transfer the money to?"

"I have a phone, you can transfer it to my phone!"

"Do you even understand? You need to bind your ID and a bank card to the phone to receive money. Without a bank card, how can you receive money? You don’t think a phone alone can receive money, do you?"

"I know! I saw others scan a QR code to receive money, I can do that too!"

"You need to bind a bank card to the QR code as well!"

"Are you saying I should go to the bank to create an account? You know I’m currently wanted and can’t show up at a bank!"

"Who said you need to get a bank card? Since you’re asking me for money not for yourself but most likely for Wen Nianyou, why not use her bank card directly?"

"How can I use her bank card?"

"Just call her and ask for her bank card number, then I can transfer the money."

Shi Youjin hesitated for a moment, then pulled out his phone — it was one he had stolen after escaping from prison, semi-new and mostly unfamiliar to him, though he could still make calls.

He had memorized Wen Nianyou’s mobile number by heart. He dialed it and waited a long time before the call connected.

"Youyou, it’s me."

"Who are you?"

"I’m your dad, Youyou, I..."

"Pah, what trash, daring to claim you’re my father. Lunatic!"

The call was abruptly disconnected.

Shi Youjin’s expression turned sour; he called Wen Nianyou again, but this time the call wouldn’t go through. After several attempts with the same message, he grimly asked Ye Chuyi, "It was fine just now, why can’t I get through?"

Ye Chuyi’s lips curled in mockery, "You’ve been blocked by her; that’s why the call didn’t go through."

Shi Youjin frowned, "So what do we do now?"noveldrama

Ye Chuyi said, "Use my phone. She’ll answer if she sees my number. Once the call goes through, don’t talk, I’ll speak."

Shi Youjin was suddenly cautious, "What are you going to tell her?"

"What else? I’m going to ask for her bank card number so I can transfer the money, aren’t I?"

Suddenly, Shi Youjin pulled out a dagger from his waistband. The gleaming blade reflected a cold light in the dim room as he held it against Ye Chuyi’s throat, "You’d better not try any tricks, or I might decide I don’t need the money and kill you first!"

Ye Chuyi felt a sharp pain on her neck and her face turned icy. It became clear to her that Shi Youjin was not quite sane; one moment he acted like a caring father and the next he was irrationally violent.

She didn’t provoke him further, "I won’t play tricks. My life is in your hands, and I’ll give you anything you want. It’s just money, right? I have plenty. I can transfer enough to Wen Nianyou for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life, so don’t be rash. Wouldn’t it be better to get the money first?"

"Also, don’t you want to see your biological daughter one last time? She hasn’t called you ’Dad’ yet, has she? Don’t you want to hear her call you that, even once?"
