Other hosts are cute and soft, easily overwhelmed—why does mine break all the rules, confronting heaven, earth, and the system!?
Rong Shang: Breaking rules is my little brother! Little broth...
"What did your in-laws say?"
Mrs. Huo frowned, feeling inexplicably deceived. "She said this matter is not her responsibility."
Tsk.
Rong Shang smiled.
This is the first time I've felt that Mrs. Hua is so helpful.
Mrs. Huo glanced at her, looking flustered. "Husband, what should we do?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the daughter-in-law entered the family, Madam Hua immediately turned her back on her.
Mrs. Huo was furious.
She should have gotten the money before they got married.
Shaking his head, Mr. Huo pinched the space between his eyebrows, feeling an unbearable headache.
"Let me think about it."
Let's think about what to do about this.
He said nothing, so Madam Huo could only humbly beg Rong Shang.
"My dear daughter, please help us. The company can't even come up with a single penny right now. If we do, our family will be starving."
She kept crying her heart out in front of her.
As far as Rong Shang knew, Huo Bai was now managing the Huo family's company. That guy was incredibly shrewd, and in just a few years since the company came under his control, its performance had increased several times over.
She's made so much money, and now she's telling me she doesn't have enough funds and her company is facing bankruptcy.
Haha, you're kidding me.
However, Hua Xichen's heart was softer than hers.
Perhaps he was thinking that she was, after all, his mother-in-law.
Hua Xichen advised her, "Why don't you just give her fifty million?"
He knew that everything she had just told Master Huo was a lie.
"Qi Yan, don't let this little bit of money ruin the harmony of the family."
A family.
Oh.
They never considered her part of the family.
She can give the money.
but……
"Alright, I'll give you fifty million."
"Fifty million?" Mrs. Huo was somewhat reluctant upon hearing this.
She glanced at Mr. Huo and saw him nod in acknowledgment.
The implication was something like: "Alright, fifty million isn't a small amount; it's better than having no money at all."
So Mrs. Huo immediately changed her mind, "Okay, okay, fifty million it is."
"Qi Yan, what about this money..."
“I haven’t finished yet,” Rong Shang added. “You just said that over the years I’ve eaten, drunk, and lived in your homes, and that you’ve spent a lot of money and effort on me.”
"Alright then, consider this fifty million as my repayment to the Huo family."
She didn't want to be constantly bothered by this family in the future.
At first, Mrs. Huo didn't think much of it when she heard it.
She nodded repeatedly and said yes.
Then, Mr. Huo tugged at her clothes to make sure she heard clearly before agreeing.
Madam Huo thought about it carefully for a moment, then said, "Wait a minute, Qi Yan, what do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean?" Rong Shang sneered. "What I mean is that I have repaid this debt of gratitude, and I will have no connection with your Huo family from now on."
After she finished speaking, she pulled Hua Xichen to his feet.
The man beside her was already stunned, as if he didn't understand what she was saying.
"Qi Yan." He was about to speak when Rong Shang stopped him.
Madam Huo snapped out of her daze and couldn't help but raise her voice, "Qi Yan, are you trying to sever ties with us now?"
Good heavens, so now that she's married into the Hua family, does she want to kick them out?
"You're being ridiculous!"
After observing for a long time, Old Master Huo finally couldn't help but yell at her, "Huo Qiyan, you heartless wild girl!"
"..."
“Although you are not our biological daughter, we have always treated you as our own daughter all these years. Now you’re doing well, you’ve married into the Hua family and become successful, and you want to sever ties with us so quickly.”
"You, you're a complete scoundrel!"
