Chapter 33 "Selling" Daughter
"My daughter, Chai Xiaofen, is very well-behaved."
After leaving TVB, he arrived at his villa on the main island, which he bought for HK$8500 million to serve as his home in Hong Kong.
This mansion occupies 5,000 square meters, not feet. If it were measured in feet, it would be 55,000 square feet. The history of this mansion is quite famous.
Executives from HSBC Hong Kong once lived here. This mansion, jokingly referred to as the "Taipan Mansion for the rich," covers nearly 5000 square meters. In a place like Hong Kong where land prices are so high, owning such a mansion is something that ordinary people can only dream of for several lifetimes.
Therefore, the families that owned this mansion throughout the generations were all wealthy or noble; people without money or status could not afford to buy it, let alone rent it.
When the mother and daughter got into the car, they sensed that Zhang San was very wealthy. When they arrived at the mansion, they were already shocked. Not only was the area huge, but the fact that there was only one house of such a large size naturally made them even more astonished.
Zhang San didn't speak, but smiled at her and asked, "How much money do you owe?" Zhang San was utterly impolite, even somewhat casual in his manner, which was understandable; a gambling addict expects respect from others? Dream on.
Was the middle-aged woman's surname Huang or Wang? Zhang San didn't quite catch it; in any case, Huang and Wang were so easily confused in Cantonese that it was hard to tell them apart.
She held up five fingers, the meaning of which was self-evident; Zhang San's pupils dilated, understanding why she would still have to repay a debt of 80 million in the future.
"I can help you pay off all your debts, and even give you a sum of money, plus a monthly allowance, and a place to live."
Not only was Ms. Huang or Ms. Wang's mouth agape in surprise, feeling that happiness had come too suddenly; her daughter, Chai Xiaofen, was also astonished. Leaving aside the house and money, the debt of five million was already shocking. Hong Kong property prices were not as high as they would later become. It wasn't until 1991 that Hong Kong property prices began to rise. At that time, global speculative capital would invest in Asia, especially in several regions, including South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.
Moreover, money was still very valuable during this period.
"But why should we?"
"Yeah, they've invested so much, why should they?" Looking at her petite daughter, she didn't know what to say, and gave an awkward smile.
"I heard that in Hong Kong, you can probably buy a life for 10,000 instead of 50,000. I don't know if it's true."
Zhang San spoke casually, but it was true: in Hong Kong, the lives of ordinary people are truly worthless.
"Who told me to be so kind? This little match girl is really pleasing to my eye. I'll help you pay off this debt, and I can let you live in the house for the rest of your life. Every month, I'll give you a sum of money; but there's one condition: you must sever your mother-daughter relationship with your daughter and you're not allowed to see her again. Otherwise, you'll have to pay back double what I gave you."
By the end, Zhang San's voice had turned very cold, even chilling; the smile that had been on his face had vanished.
"Ah~"
Zhang San's words not only frightened Chai Xiaofen but also her mother, sending a chill down everyone's spine; the room fell silent after Zhang San finished speaking.
He wanted to see if Chai's mother truly had no family ties whatsoever, like the rumors suggested, and was addicted to gambling, or if she did have some family affection. If she was addicted to gambling, then he would consider the money he gave her later as a way to support his cheap mother-in-law in her old age.
A few minutes passed, and Zhang San, seeing that she still hadn't spoken, got a little angry: "Honey, have you thought it through? My time is very precious."
"Ah~ Ah~ I'm sorry, young master, I need money; I'll give you my daughter, she's better off with me."
"Hehe..." Zhang San chuckled, but there was no real joy in it; it just gave off a cold feeling. He didn't like gamblers, but he often encountered them.
"This debt will be borne by your daughter, Chai Xiaofen. I will notify the lawyer to come over, and we will sign the contract tomorrow. At that time, you will publish a notice in the newspaper severing your mother-daughter relationship with your daughter." After saying a few more words, Zhang San finally smiled and said, "I'll spend the night here tonight. This is the last night. We'll have dinner here together later."
After Zhang San finished speaking, he left for his study, where he had some things to arrange.
When Zhang San came downstairs for dinner, he saw that Chai's mother's eyes were a little red, and Chai Xiaofen's eyes were also a little red, but she was in good spirits. He wondered if it was relief or something else, or if she was finally no longer trapped in the abyss.
The dinner was very lavish, filling almost half of the long table. Perhaps because the original owner of the table was a foreigner, it was a very long table. Zhang San estimated it to be about eight meters long, made from a single piece of wood, which Zhang San found quite luxurious, and he liked it.
The lavish dinner eased the pain of parting for the mother and daughter; however, to their great surprise, Zhang San ate with great gusto.
"Eat up! This lobster is supposedly from Australia, and this is abalone with two heads..."
Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Zhang San had returned to the gentle and refined manner he had when they first met, eating with such gusto and appearing approachable.
Zhang San smiled like a kitten that had successfully stolen some food; his smile was radiant.
After the meal, Zhang San didn't stay, leaving the mother and daughter alone. He didn't care what happened to them.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Zhang San's lawyer from his company in Hong Kong came over with a lot of documents and began the processing procedure.
At Zhang San's prompting, the lawyer began to explain the contract in detail. Just as Zhang San had said yesterday, the mother and daughter were still at ease. At least, Zhang San was so rich and didn't seem like a bad person; his logic was very strong, and there was no reason to refute it.
"Ms. Huang, after you sign the contract, you must abide by it. You cannot show your face wherever your daughter is. If she sees you, you must leave immediately. Do you understand?"
Lawyers are human too, and they were somewhat disgusted by this. However, their professional duty made them feel that it was a good outcome for her daughter to escape such a mother. Moreover, in addition to paying off the five million debt and giving him two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, the other party also provided him with a house to live in for free and a living allowance of three thousand Hong Kong dollars per month, which would be adjusted according to their living standards. They had done more than enough.
Given these conditions, countless families in Hong Kong with daughters would be willing to send them over.
After everything was explained, the contract was quickly signed. Zhang San was not present; he was not someone who enjoyed witnessing life and death.
When Zhang San came downstairs, he saw Chai Xiaofen standing there in a daze. Her mother had already been sent away by the finance staff to settle the debts.
"If your mother stops gambling and is willing to live a simple life, then the contract is invalid."
