Unexpectedly, the mother and daughter didn't go looking for Lu Sangsang, but instead came to him.

Does she look easier to bully than Lu Sangsang?

Lu Huan gave a curt "Oh," and said, "Now that you've seen it, can I leave?"

Missing their child was just an excuse; the real purpose of the Ye family mother and daughter was to ask Lu Huan for money.

Upon hearing that Lu Huan was leaving, her expression immediately changed. She hurriedly tried to pull Lu Huan away, but when she saw the designer clothes she was wearing—any one of which was worth more than all of them combined—she stiffly withdrew her hand. "Wait a minute!"

Lu Huan gave a cold laugh. "What, is there something else?"

It was really difficult to talk about borrowing money in public. Although Ye's mother was thick-skinned, she didn't want to lose face in front of outsiders. "It's been a long time since we've seen each other. Why don't we find a place to sit down, have some tea, and chat?"

Let's have some tea and chat?

“Although we are mother and daughter, we’ve spent less than an hour together. What do you think we have to talk about?” Lu Huan raised her delicate eyebrows and smiled at the two of them. “Didn’t we make it very clear back then that we would take a million and leave? Are you trying to back out now? Well, that’s not impossible. Give me that million, and I’ll call you Mom and go home with you!”

In comparison, Li Lan really doesn't deserve to be called "Mom".

Li Lan had originally asked Lu Huan for money, but when she heard Lu Huan's arrogant tone and then turned around and asked her for money, she was dumbfounded. "Where would I get any money!"

Li Lan was truly broke. Of the one million Lu Zhong gave her, her deadbeat husband took half a million. As soon as he got the money, he disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where he went to have a good time.

As for the remaining 500,000 yuan, she bought a lot of things for her youngest daughter, leaving her with more than 300,000 yuan, which would have been enough to live comfortably for a few years.

But who would have thought that Ye Bo, that old bastard, would gamble again, losing not only 500,000 yuan but also accumulating a mountain of debt. With no other option, he sneaked back home and paid off more than 300,000 yuan, but it still wasn't enough.

Those loan sharks are all reckless; how can ordinary people like us afford to offend them?

They were so desperate that they thought of Lu Sangsang, since she was Lu Zhong's biological daughter and must have at least a million yuan.

But no sooner had they gotten the money than Lu Sangsang committed suicide, which terrified them. Since they had no connections with Lu Sangsang, they had no choice but to swallow their pride and go to Lu Huan.

That brat Lu Sangsang also mentioned on the phone that Lu Huan married a rich husband and is now very wealthy!

Lu Huan knew perfectly well that the mother and daughter were indeed asking him for money.

They spent the million that Lu Zhong gave them so quickly?

"How could you not have money? What about the million my dad gave you?"

Li Lan dared not tell Lu Huan that Ye Bo had lost money gambling and borrowed money from loan sharks. Thinking that Lu Huan was easy to fool, she made up a respectable excuse: "We originally had a little money and were thinking of opening a shop and doing business honestly. Who would have thought that your father would be cheated and all that money would be taken away!"

Lu Huan had no idea that Ye Bo was also a shrewd businessman; Li Lan was definitely lying.

In the novel, the Ye family took the money and lived a carefree and happy life. Unfortunately, it didn't last long. Ye Bo gambled away all the money and was left with a mountain of debt.

Now she comes to tell her that her business failed and she was scammed by others.

Lu Huan expressed deep sympathy, "You guys are really in a tough spot!"

The mother and daughter waited silently for a moment. Seeing that Lu Huan didn't continue, Li Lan was stunned. "Is that all?"

"Anything else? What else?" Lu Huan curled his lips in a mocking smile. "I happen to have some money here. You can take it and spend it however you like. Is ten million enough? If not, just ask me for more."

When Li Lan and her daughter heard the words "ten million," their eyes widened in surprise.

Ten million? That would be ten million!

Lu Huan is indeed rich; he casually mentioned ten million without even blinking. They've found the right person.

The greed on their faces was plain to see; it was as if they had written it on their faces with a calligraphy brush.

Li Lan immediately nodded, "Great, ten million is enough!"

The last time she saw a million was the most money she had ever seen in her life; she never imagined she would touch ten million again in this lifetime.

He had already quickly made up his mind: once he got the ten million, he would first pay off his debts, then buy several more houses and live a wealthy life, so that his family would never have to worry about food or drink.

Her eyes darted around, and she suddenly met Lu Huan's gaze. The other man's expression was rather cold, and sensing something was amiss, she quickly changed her words, saying, "Ten million does seem a bit too much. We don't need that much money; half will suffice."

Five million is enough for them to buy a large villa.

Fortunately, Lu Huan was unaware of their inner thoughts, otherwise she would have been ridiculed for overthinking things, already imagining how she would enjoy life before anything was even a done deal.

Even if Lu Huan had money, she wouldn't give a single penny to such a greedy person.

"Okay, then give me some money first, I'll buy a lottery ticket, and I'll give you five million whenever I win ten million!"

As Lu Huan spoke with a smile, he earnestly reached out his hand to Li Lan, asking for the money to buy lottery tickets.

The sarcasm in his eyes was all too obvious.

Li Lan and Ye Ran are both stupid. Even the stupidest person can see that Lu Huan is just messing with them.

If they could win the lottery, they would be rolling in money by now, and they wouldn't need to stoop so low as to ask Lu Huan for money.

Li Lan, being older, was calm and collected, but Ye Ran, unwilling to accept this, yelled at Lu Huan, "Lu Huan, what do you mean? My mother asked you for money, and you refuse to give it to her? If my mother hadn't given birth to you, do you think you'd even exist?"

Lu Huan crossed his arms, his sharp gaze sweeping over the mother and daughter, and said coldly, "That's really hard to say!"

Ye Ran looks exactly like Li Lan, while Lu Huan bears no resemblance to her whatsoever. No matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like her mother.

Since Lu Sangsang was switched at birth with the original owner of this body back then, there must be another melodramatic incident.

Li Lan was taken aback by Lu Huan's words. After a moment of stunned silence, she met Lu Huan's gaze and immediately panicked, hurriedly saying, "Of course you are my biological child. You are the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to. When your mother cruelly switched you with someone else, it was all for your future, to prevent you from having a hard life with me!"

Li Lan cruelly switched the lives of two children, and she doesn't admit any wrongdoing. She even said it was for her own good. Has she ever considered other people's feelings?

"Huanhuan, Mom has let you live the life of a rich lady for twenty years, shouldn't you spend some money to help us out?"

Lu Huan knew that the Ye family in the original book were a bunch of bloodsuckers. They were never satisfied. Once they were given the first time, they would want to do it again.

Unfortunately, Lu Huan wasn't buying into Li Lan's sweet talk. "I'm sorry, I don't have any money."

Lu Huan was about to leave when Ye Ran grabbed her. She turned around and said, "Let go!"

"I won't let go!"

Although Ye Ran was young, she understood that her family was indeed out of money. Otherwise, her designer handbags wouldn't have been taken away by those loan sharks. They even threatened to arrest her if she didn't pay back the remaining money within the stipulated time.

As for what she would be taken away to do, Ye Ran couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the way those people looked at her. She didn't want to be a prostitute.

Ye Ran glared at her swollen single eyelids, "Unless you give us the money, I'll shout and tell everyone in the school that you're an unfilial daughter, a gold digger, only knowing how to acknowledge rich parents and not your own, and even causing Lu Sangsang to commit suicide! I'll make sure you can't stay in school!"

Although Ye Ran was young, she knew how terrifying gossip could be.

She refused to believe that Lu Huan wouldn't hand over the money after being threatened like this!

Lu Huan found it somewhat amusing. "Do you know that what you're doing is extortion?"

"Mind your own business, just take the money!" Extortion is better than being arrested by those people.

Clearly, she had nothing to talk about with these two scoundrels.

Li Lan and Ye Ran came prepared today, clearly not wanting her to leave easily.

Facing two opponents alone, Lu Huan was definitely not going to escape, but luckily she had helpers.

"Then let me go first!"

"What if you run away if I let you go?" Ye Ran said warily. She had just said she wouldn't give him any money, but she might disappear as soon as she let go.

"Didn't you say you'd shout? If I run away, just yell loudly and say I deliberately bullied Lu Sangsang and made me lose face here, that's all!" Lu Huan had a "what's the use" attitude.

Ye Ran's true nature was to want money; she didn't care how Lu Huan treated Lu Sangsang. "No way!"

"Then let go of me first, I can't run away!" Lu Huan looked at her, "If you don't let go, how can I transfer the money to you?"

"You want to transfer money to me?"

"Otherwise, who carries cash around these days?"

Ye Ran hesitated for a moment, then stared at Lu Huan more closely. Seeing that she really didn't intend to run away, she was beginning to loosen her grip. "Then you'd better make it clear that you'll transfer the money to me via mobile phone immediately, and don't even think about running away!"

Lu Huan gave a lazy "hmm," and said, "Let go, you've squeezed my hand until it's red!"

She was pampered by Gu Zhendong, using only the best of everything and never having to do any rough work. Her skin was delicate and fragile, and a slight touch would leave a mark that wouldn't fade for seven or eight days.

A red ring appeared on her wrist, quite noticeable. Ye Ran looked at her snow-white skin and felt envious.

When she has money, she'll go to the beauty salon every day for skincare to achieve such beautiful skin.

Seeing that she was moving slowly, Ye Ran urged, "Hurry up!"

Lu Huan was now extremely glad that she had exchanged contact information with Pang Zhe before getting off the bus that morning, as it was the perfect time to ask him for help.

"Scan my WeChat QR code!" Lu Huan said as she took out her phone.

While Ye Ran was getting her phone, she immediately sent Pang Zhe her location, left no message, and quickly exited the chat with him.

Ye Ran was a head shorter than Lu Huan and didn't see her little trick just now. She handed her the WeChat QR code and said, "Just transfer the money directly!"

Lu Huan had already sent out her distress call and was just waiting for Pang Zhe to come and rescue her. Her only goal now was to buy time for Pang Zhe to arrive.

Lu Huan said "Oh," and before even scanning the QR code, she said, "I don't have any money in my WeChat account. You can check for yourself if you don't believe me!"

She spent all her money buying gifts for Gu Zhendong last time, and her wallet was empty except for a card that Gu Zhendong had given her.

Ye Ran wasn't so easily fooled. "You must have money in your bank account. Just transfer the money from your bank account!"

Lu Huan chuckled: "Sorry, I've already reached my spending limit for today!"

Ye Ran: ...

When Ye Ran met Lu Huan's bright smile, she realized once again that she had been tricked. "You lied to me again!"

At this moment, Lu Huan saw Pang Zhe walking quickly towards him, indicating that he had understood his distress signal.

Pang Zhe was not far away. As soon as he received Lu Huan's WeChat message, he rushed over without thinking.

Upon arriving, he witnessed this scene. His face darkened, and without a word, he rushed over, grabbed Ye Ran's wrist, and tightened his grip, causing thick, frightening veins to bulge on the back of his hand.

Ye Ran had never been pinched so hard before, and the pain made her feel like her hand wasn't even her own anymore. "Ouch, ouch, ouch! Let go!"

Lu Huan looked leisurely at Ye Ran, whose face was contorted in pain, and said to Pang Zhe, "Be gentle, he's still just a child!"

Li Lan, who was standing to the side, was obviously also frightened by the sudden appearance of the man in black. Pang Zhe was tall, burly and strong, and he was almost as big as two people.

Pang Zhe nodded in agreement, only slightly reducing the force in his hand, still unwilling to let Ye Ran off so easily.

Anyone who wants to bully the lady must first get past him.

If it were according to his usual temper, he would have broken this woman's hand long ago.

Even so, Ye Ran kept crying out in pain and cursing at Lu Huan, "Lu Huan, let me go, or I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

Hearing Ye Ran's disrespectful words to Lu Huan, Pang Zhe frowned and said fiercely, "You better behave yourself!"

Lu Huan originally just wanted to teach Ye Ran a lesson, to let her know that extortion is wrong, but she really didn't reflect on her actions at all, and even wanted to make herself suffer a terrible fate.

"You can't even protect yourself, and you dare to threaten me? Believe me, if I say one word, your hand will immediately go numb?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ran's face turned pale instantly. Her eyes, which looked at Lu Huan, revealed both hatred and fear. This man could easily break her hand with just a little force.

"But if you apologize to me now and beg me, I'll let you go!"

Apologize to Lu Huan? And even beg her?

That's impossible!

Ye Ran cried out in pain. Her bone snapped with a crack. Just thinking about the pain made her shudder. Instead of asking Lu Huan for mercy, she begged Li Lan for help: "Mom, please save me!"

Upon hearing this, Pang Zhe glanced at Li Lan beside him, his expression fierce.

Li Lan wanted to step forward to stop him, but she was afraid that Pang Zhe would knock her unconscious with one punch. Her legs were too weak to move, so she hurriedly looked at Lu Huan and said, "Huanhuan, make him let go! Ranran is your sister, do you really want to break her hand?"

Pang Zhe frowned as he listened, staring at Ye Ran, whom he had captured. Was this the lady's sister?

No wonder Pang Zhe was suspicious; Ye Ran and Lu Huan looked nothing alike.

Pang Zhe looked up at Lu Huan, "Madam!"

Lu Huan was just trying to fool Ye Ran and teach her a lesson. "Let her go!"

What exactly did Lu Huanzhen do to her at school that this mother and daughter would use a megaphone to shout that she was bullying someone?

"But Madam, what she just did to you..."

Pang Zhe wasn't really keen on letting Ye Ran go. He was about to tell Lu Huan when Lu Huan gave him a wink, and he reluctantly let go.

As soon as he let go, Ye Ran lost his balance and fell headfirst onto the small lawn next to him, getting his back covered in mud.

"Lu Huan, you!"

Ignoring the pain, Ye Ran was so angry she wanted to curse. Pang Zhe stood in front of Lu Huan, his eyes wide open, which startled Ye Ran. She remembered the pain of his wrist being grabbed by him earlier and quickly shut her mouth, not daring to say another word.

Lu Huan said, "It's impossible for you to get money from me. I advise you to give up now. This is just a lesson. If there's a next time, we'll meet at the police station!"

Police station?

Li Lan was unwilling, "Huanhuan, your sister is still a child, she was just playing with you, don't take it to heart. As for the money, give Mom some first, and I'll pay you back when I have more money."

She no longer dreams of that five million; she just wants to pay back the loan sharks and have her family live a peaceful and safe life.

Lu Huanhe sneered. The reason why Ye Ran grew up badly is inseparable from the problem of the adults' education. Li Lan spoiled her daughter like this, and Ye Ran was bound to cause trouble sooner or later.

As for the money, they say it's a loan, but everyone knows that once the money is in Li Lan's hands, it's impossible to get it back!

"Didn't you understand what I said? Or do you want to go into the police station, sit down, and see if the food there is good?"

"How could you do this? I'm your mother, after all. You won't even give me a little bit of money? I heard from Sangsang that you married a rich husband and your monthly living expenses are a million!"

Lu Sangsang?

Lu Huan caught the key point in Li Lan's words. Very good, it seems that this matter is also related to Lu Sangsang.

"Why should I give you my husband's money?" Lu Huan smiled. "Did you support me or buy me things? Does that mean I have to give you money?"

"Because I gave birth to you!" Li Lan said without hesitation.

"Then do you dare to go for a paternity test with me?!"

"..."

As soon as Lu Huan spoke, Li Lan fell silent.

If she gets a paternity test, she might never get the money back for the rest of her life!

Lu Huan didn't speak, but from Li Lan's guilty conscience, he guessed that his guess was correct.

They are not biological mother and daughter.

"I hope this is the last time you appear before me, otherwise I will call the police next time!"

Lu Huan left those words behind and turned away with a flourish.

Pang Zhe glanced at the mother and daughter, "Did you hear what our lady said?"

Li Lan shuddered in fright and hurriedly nodded, "I understand!"

The mother and daughter didn't come to their senses until the two had gone quite a distance.

Ye Ran burst into tears, "Mom, what should I do?"

"this……"

Li Lan came to collect money, but instead of getting the money, she almost broke her daughter's hand.
