I doubt she has that much money on her.

Huo Chenyu thought to himself.

Tang Li smiled and took the envelope from Wei Chaoyu's hand, took out a piece of paper from it, and handed it to Huo Chenyu.

"When you married me, you said that you loved sweets the most, but you have suffered the pain of unrequited love."

The letter paper was folded.

When Huo Chenyu took it, he opened it, glanced at it, and then closed it again.

According to Tang Li:

"Now, I return these words to you. I, Tang Li, have always loved sweets, but I have suffered enough from the bitterness of love. Now, I lay myself bare. I give you my body, I give you my money, and all my passion and lifelong commitment will depend on you. I ask nothing of you but that your heart be like mine."

But what's written on this letter...

Huo Chenyu had no words to express his suffering.

In other words, Tang Li took out all of his assets.

Wei Chaoyu immediately expressed his opinion:

“Lili, I’ve opened this box. Your dad and I have saved up some money over the years. I promised to give you double the amount as a dowry, and I will never go back on my word.”

Double the amount!

The dowry of one billion yuan has doubled.

The Huo family's relatives were green with envy.

Even Huo Yishen, who did not approve of this daughter-in-law, had no objection to it.

I even felt like I had suddenly gotten my revenge today.

Just as everyone was expressing their envy, Kenneth Fok threw out a remark:

"Are the Tang family members really so shameless? Getting pregnant with someone else's child and marrying into our Huo family, do you really think that the dirty deeds you've done won't be known?"

When he said this, Huo Qiwen had already activated his self-protection mode.

This dutiful son actually hid behind his mother, Huo Qingning.

To put it bluntly, the frail Huo Qingning was simply pushed over by him to be a shield.

"Huo Qiwen, if you're so capable, go hide in your mother's womb."

Huo Yancheng's fist stopped a few centimeters away from Huo Qingning.

It's okay to hit scumbags, but it's not okay to hit your elders.

"Qiwen, don't talk nonsense."

Even his own uncle, Huo Qingshu, felt somewhat embarrassed.

A woman who can easily produce a dowry of 1 billion yuan must be extraordinary.

Although Huo Qiwen's body acted like a turtle hiding in the ground, his mouth never stopped:

“Uncle, it’s true. I’ve seen the news. If you don’t believe me, take a look on your phones. The Huo family has become a laughing stock in the city, and you’re still here gloating over the 1 billion yuan pie she promised.”

It's on the news?

Huo Qingshu was the first to look for his phone.

The same applies to the other relatives.

Tang Yuan, sitting calmly in his chair, observed this group of clowns with a cold eye from beginning to end.

Tang Li glanced at her brother, and she could already guess that after this meal, once they left, her brother would definitely say that the Huo family was a deep and dangerous place, and it was better to stay single for safety.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the private room became strange.

The Huo family relatives whispered among themselves, some questioning, some watching with amusement, and some remaining silent.

"Tang Li, shouldn't you give my uncle's family an explanation? Why did you marry into our Huo family while pregnant with another man's child?"

Huo Qishan straightened up, as if the crisis had been averted.

Little did he know, he was only concerned with guarding against Huo Yancheng.

However, he overlooked the fact that Huo Sitang was beside him.

As the porcelain plate fell, Kenneth Fok was still spreading rumors:

"Is it that Lu Zhixing's abilities cannot satisfy your desires? That makes you resort to deceiving others into marriage?"

Then, Huo Qingning screamed.

Huo Sitang acted swiftly and decisively. No one expected that she, a young girl, would either remain silent or strike so hard that she would beat someone to death.

A trickle of blood flowed from Huo Qiwen's head, like a watermelon that had cracked open and splattered with juice.

"Blood..."

He reached out and touched it, and his legs went weak.

He wasn't dizzy, he just fell flat on his face.

Several seconds passed before Huo Qingning reacted. Instead of helping her son up, she slapped Huo Sitang across the face.

However, the slap didn't land on Huo Sitang's face; instead, she intercepted it halfway through.

“Aunt, my Yancheng is right, it is the father’s fault if the son is not taught. If you really can’t take it anymore, then you should remarry while you are still young. If you ruin your main account, with your age and the current technology, you should still have time to start a new one.”

"You, you, you..."

That's incredibly rude!

Outrageous!

"This is outrageous! A whole family of thugs! Second brother, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Huo Qingning sat down on the ground.

It has the feel of a shrew about to start a public outburst.

Huo Yishen's heart had been in his throat. He couldn't bear to say a harsh word to his precious daughter, but if Huo Qingning hit him, he had already decided that Huo Qiwen would never be able to get any benefit from the Huo family again.

Seeing that his daughter was alright, Huo Yishen picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Qingning, if your family is poor, just tell your brother. Chaoyu, send a dozen toothbrushes to Qingning's family tomorrow. Oh, and make sure to choose a fresh-breathing toothpaste. Qiwen's mouth is too smelly."

Wei Chaoyu nodded with a sly smile.

Second brother's family is united.

Huo Qingning had no choice but to ask her older brother for help: "Brother, your nephew has been bullied like this, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Huo Qingshu shoved her away:

"You shameful piece of trash! Others spread rumors with just their mouths, but the bastards you've raised don't even have this basic ability to discern right from wrong?"

As the saying goes...

Those who understand the times are wise.

The fact that Huo Yishen condoned Huo Sitang's act of hitting someone shows that their tolerance for Tang Li far exceeded what others could imagine.
