554: Problem solved

Seeing the two sides about to fall out, Zhang Xiuying looked worried but didn't know what to do.

After witnessing the insatiable greed of Zhang Yangping's family, Ye Jianguo and Ye Xin's expressions were also quite unpleasant.

Only Ye Su looked indifferent, keeping a constant eye on Zhang Yangping and his son to prevent them from suddenly making a move.

When Yan Ran took out the 100,000 yuan just now, Ye Su had already started recording on his phone.

If the father and son really dared to make a move and Ye Su fought back, with the recording and a good lawyer, he could definitely argue the case as self-defense.

So Ye Su wasn't worried at all that Zhang Yangping and his son would suddenly attack.

The only thing to be wary of was not to let Yan Ran and the others get hurt while he dealt with them.

Yan Ran, however, was completely unfazed by Zhang Yangping's threat. Upon hearing his words, she unhesitatingly took back the final 50,000 yuan and stood up.

"Since this is your attitude, there's no need for us to continue talking. Wait to receive my lawyer's letter."

Seeing this, Ye Su and the other three also stood up, preparing to leave.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yangping could no longer remain calm and hurriedly stood up.

"What do you mean by this? You don't want Xiuying's household registration anymore? Also, don't think you can just scare us because we don't know the law. We're just not agreeing to let Xiuying's registration be moved. It's useless even if you find a lawyer!"

Yan Ran sneered.

"What era do you think this is? Do you really think my sister's registration can't be moved without your consent? I was just too lazy to go through the trouble, so I wanted to use 100,000 yuan to get your cooperation."

Yan Ran's gaze swept over Zhang Yangping's family.

"And who said I was looking for a lawyer for the registration? I haven't forgotten that my sister was sold by my parents back then. In other words, you are already suspected of illegal human trafficking. There's absolutely no problem with me having a lawyer pursue a lawsuit."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Yan Ran's words made Yu Manzhu panic, fearing that if the other party called the police, she would really be arrested as a human trafficker.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Zhang Yangping had a slightly better psychological state than Yu Manzhu, but he also felt guilty and shouted at Yan Ran.

"What evidence do you have that Xiuying was bought by us? Back then, we saw a child abandoned by the roadside and brought her home to raise out of the goodness of our hearts. Don't make false accusations!"

"Right!"

Hearing this, Yu Manzhu regained her confidence and shouted at Yan Ran.

"Don't think only you city people know the law; we know the law too. Back then, we clearly brought Xiuying home out of kindness. You have no evidence, so don't even think about framing good people like us!"

"Exactly!" Zhang Pengcheng also got excited and pointed at Yan Ran, shouting.

"Don't think you're the only one who knows the law. I know it too. Slandering my parents like this without evidence is called defamation, and we can sue you!"

"Whether there's evidence is for the court to consider. All you need to consider is how much money and energy you can spend fighting this lawsuit with me."

Yan Ran sneered, "Don't worry, I have nothing else but money and time to slowly fight this lawsuit with you."

As she spoke, Yan Ran glanced at Zhang Pengcheng nearby.

"I heard your son is getting married, right? Don't worry, I will make sure this lawsuit is known throughout all of Yang County."

"I'd like to see if anyone is still willing to marry your son after they find out what your family has done."

Having said that, Yan Ran intended to lead Zhang Xiuying and the others away.

"Mm, let's go."

Ye Su understood Yan Ran's intention. He first agreed, and as he stood up to leave, he added casually.

"I've already recorded the conversation between both sides just now. You used Xiuying's registration as a threat and took the initiative to ask for 200,000 yuan. I wonder if that constitutes extortion. When we get the lawyer to send the letter, we'll consult about this as well."

Yan Ran nodded in perfect understanding, "Alright, I'll have the company's legal department take this issue into consideration as well."

"Don't leave yet!"

Yan Ran and Ye Su's threats undoubtedly hit Zhang Yangping's family where it hurt most.

This kind of thing was already disgraceful. If others found out their family was involved in such a lawsuit, how could their son ever get a wife!

Moreover, they knew that these wealthy people could not only afford good lawyers but also knew many people.

If it really came to a lawsuit, they might even manipulate things behind the scenes.

They had no connections, no money, and not much time. How could they possibly fight a lawsuit against Xiuying's sister!

At this moment, the couple's hearts were filled with regret.

If they had known, they shouldn't have been greedy for an extra 100,000 yuan. Now, not only was the 100,000 yuan gone, but the other party was also planning to sue them!

Zhang Pengcheng was equally panicked.

His current girlfriend's family was already somewhat dissatisfied with his family's conditions.

If the girlfriend's family found out that his parents had bought Zhang Xiuying from someone thirty years ago...

...and were now trying to extort 100,000 yuan using Zhang Xiuying's situation, only to be sued in court...

Zhang Pengcheng had no doubt that his girlfriend's family would resolutely oppose their marriage.

Hearing Zhang Yangping ask her not to leave, Yan Ran gave a slight smile she had anticipated, but her face was expressionless when she turned back.

"Is there anything else?"

"We can still discuss it. There's no need to go to court."

Zhang Yangping didn't dare to shout like before, and a fawning smile appeared on his face.

"How about this, we'll go with what was agreed upon at the beginning—100,000 yuan, not a penny more. Once you give the money, I'll immediately get the household registration booklet and go with you to move Xiuying's registration."

Hearing this, Ye Su cooperated with Yan Ran and pretended to advise.

"Since they've said so, why not give them another chance? It'll save us from constantly fussing over such a small matter."

Under the tense gaze of Zhang Yangping's family, Yan Ran finally seemed to be swayed by Ye Su and nodded slightly.

"Fine, I'll give them one last chance."

As she spoke, Yan Ran opened her handbag again and tossed the 100,000 yuan onto the coffee table.

"You've taken the money. Now come with me to move the registration."

"Okay, I'll go get the registration booklet right now!"

Having regained the 100,000 yuan, the three members of the Zhang family finally breathed a sigh of relief, their smiles widening.

"We'll drive over first. Don't make us wait too long."

"Okay, I'll head over on my motorcycle immediately!"

Leaving those words behind, Yan Ran and her group left Zhang Yangping's house.

Once outside, Ye Su gave Yan Ran a thumbs up.

"You really have a way. You handled them with just a few words."

"It's also thanks to your good cooperation."

"Sister, thank you."

Thinking that she could finally break free from Zhang Yangping's family, Zhang Xiuying felt a sense of relief.

Yan Ran patted Zhang Xiuying's hand, "We're sisters, what's there to thank me for?"

Ye Xin said indignantly, "Given how their family acted just now, 100,000 yuan is really letting them off easy!"

Ye Jianguo stopped him, "Enough. Since the problem is solved, let the money be spent."

Yan Ran said with a smile, "Uncle is right. Don't take such a small matter to heart."

"Alright then."

Ye Xin just couldn't stand the sight of it.

Since Yan Ran had said so, he didn't say anything more.
