Chapter 8 So exciting

Lin Xueqing was jealous of her mother Huo and she knew it all along.

But stealing things?

What did Lin Xueqing steal from her?

Before Huo's mother could figure it out, Ye Leyao changed his shoes and came in to sit next to Huo's mother. He said to her cheerfully, "Huo's mother, I'm back!"

Huo's mother smiled, but before she could say anything, her second aunt Lin Xueqing, who was sitting next to her, glanced at Ye Leyao with disdain, sneered and said, "Sure enough, if it's not your own child, you can't raise him well."

Huo's mother's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she immediately gave Lin Xueqing a warning look.

Lin Xueqing didn't notice the warning in Mother Huo's eyes at all, and continued to say: "If you ask me, children must be strictly disciplined and can't get used to it, otherwise they won't even know who is good to them! My little brat was a bit rebellious some time ago, and he said he didn't want me as his mother. As a result, I picked him up and beat him up, and he became obedient, didn't he? But I'm still angry, I really don't want him anymore!"

Lin Xueqing was mocking Ye Leyao for still calling her Mother Huo, not Mom!

Ye Leyao's parents died in a car accident when little Leyao was five years old, and little Leyao already had memories at that time.

Mother Huo and Xiao Leyao's mother were close friends. After the child was born, he recognized Mother Huo as his godmother. After that, Xiao Leyao learned to speak and always called her Mother Huo.

So even though Mother Huo adopted Ye Leyao later, she did not ask the child to change his name.

She was also worried that Ye Leyao would be sad, so she ordered the whole family not to mention this matter in front of Ye Leyao.

Even now that Ye Leyao has grown up, their family rarely talks about this matter in front of Ye Leyao, let alone ask Ye Leyao to change his name!

The whole Huo family has no objection, so why should Lin Xueqing be dissatisfied on her behalf? Mother

Huo's face was already a little angry, but because Ye Leyao was still present, it was difficult to lose her temper.

She could only turn her head to look at Ye Leyao, and seeing that he looked normal, she breathed a sigh of relief. When Mother Huo was about to change the subject, she suddenly heard Ye Leyao's puzzled voice——

[Hey, from what Second Aunt said, did you know that the adopted child she adopted was actually the illegitimate child of her husband who had an affair outside? ]

Mother Huo's expression changed.

What?

[When Second Uncle brought the child back, Second Aunt didn't like the child very much. It's just that Second Aunt is a person... Her health is not very good, and the doctor does not recommend getting pregnant again, but Second Aunt is extremely biased towards boys and believes that without a boy in the family, the family line cannot be passed on. The Qing Dynasty has been gone for who knows how many years, and Second Aunt is still wrapping her head! ]

[Because of this, Second Aunt agreed to adopt the child, but how can this child be a child from an orphanage! It's the illegitimate child that my second uncle had with his mistress! 】

【If I remember correctly, the mistress seems to live in the same residential complex as my second aunt? 】

Mother Huo's eyes widened instantly, and her anger subsided a little.

Is this true or not?

Ye Leyao was still trying to recall the plot, and opened the memo on his phone.

【Yes, yes, yes, I remember correctly, my second uncle did buy a suite for his mistress in the same residential complex. Every day, he said he was taking the adopted son to attend foreign teacher classes, but in fact, my second uncle was taking the adopted son to hang out with his biological mother. 】

【The adopted son is making a fuss about not wanting her as his mother... He should have known that my second aunt is not his biological mother, right? After all, Second Aunt is usually very strict with the adopted son, and Xiao San always coaxes him with sweet words every time they meet. How can the adopted son like Second Aunt? 】

【So Second Aunt is disappointed now? 】

【But no matter how disappointed you are, you still can't forgive the fact that you stole Mrs. Huo's jewelry! 】

【A full two million! 】

Ye Leyao frowned, this two million is more than the money he had saved before!

【No, I have to find a chance to tell Mrs. Huo... This money must be returned! 】

Mrs. Huo looked at Lin Xueqing with distress, and after hearing this, she suddenly widened her eyes in surprise.

Stealing?

You said stealing?

Two million? !

How much of her jewelry did Lin Xueqing steal? ! !

Mother Huo was so angry that her chest hurt.

Lin Xueqing was actually not her biological sister, but her cousin.

When her uncle was young and busy with business, Lin Xueqing was often fostered in their home.

Lin Xueqing has been competitive since she was a child and likes to compete with Mother Huo.

She compares figure, appearance, grades, and even marriage.

Even when Mother Huo and Father Huo got married, Lin Xueqing still felt that the Huo family was just a small family, and was unwilling to attend Mother Huo's wedding and cut off contact with her.

Later, Mother Huo and Father Huo worked together, and the Huo Group was successfully listed and became one of the leading companies in the industry. On the contrary, the Chen family that Lin Xueqing had carefully selected gradually declined, and the business was on the verge of bankruptcy, but Lin Xueqing came over eagerly.

Mother Huo helped Lin Xueqing and the Chen family a lot because she grew up with them.

As a result, she raised such an ungrateful person!

No wonder Mother Huo couldn't find a necklace before. She thought she had carelessly thrown it away in a corner, but it turned out that it was stolen by Lin Xueqing!

Mother Huo was so angry that her teeth itched, and she glared at Lin Xueqing angrily.

After Lin Xueqing finished speaking, she was waiting for Mother Huo's reaction, but instead of waiting for Mother Huo's words of agreement, she was glared at by her.

She suddenly felt flustered for no reason.

Why was Mother Huo glaring at her?

It couldn't be that she found out something, right? That

shouldn't be the case.

She was always very careful in doing things, and if she was really found out, she couldn't sit here peacefully.

Could it be that she was dissatisfied with what she said about Ye Leyao?

This is possible.

In the heart of Mrs. Huo, this adopted child who has no blood relationship with her is more important than her own niece!

Thinking of this, Lin Xueqing got angry. She was in poor health after giving birth to her eldest daughter. When she saw that Mrs. Huo adopted Ye Leyao, she thought about sending her daughter to be raised by Mrs. Huo.

But she didn't expect that Mrs. Huo would refuse without hesitation!

For this reason, Lin Xueqing resented her for a long time, and also hated Ye Leyao.

How can this person who has no blood relationship with the Huo family share the Huo family's property?

Now that she just told the truth, Mother Huo still looked at her with such disgust. Lin Xueqing was even more furious, and her face was also filled with some suspicion. She glanced at Ye Leyao, ready to teach him a lesson on behalf of Mother Huo: "Leyao, what do you think?"

Ye Leyao was still recalling the plot. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment before saying: "Then throw him away."

Lin Xueqing was stunned: "Who threw whom away?"

Ye Leyao wondered: "Didn't you say you didn't want Jiawang?"

Jiawang was Lin Xueqing's adopted baby.

[Anyway, he is not a biological child, and he is an ungrateful person. It is better not to help others raise him as soon as possible. 】

Ye Leyao suggested sincerely.

But Lin Xueqing was choked by his words.

Mother Huo almost couldn't help laughing.

There is nothing wrong with what he said!

But how could Lin Xueqing be willing to throw away her precious son?

Although Lin Xueqing is indeed strict when disciplining her children, in their family, the person with the highest status in the family is still her adopted son.

When she first brought the adopted son back, she didn't even want her biological daughter anymore, and was going to give her to Mother Huo to raise.

Mother Huo persuaded her with all kinds of persuasion, and she reluctantly took her daughter back.

Now look what happened.

The child who has been spoiled for so many years turned out to be her husband's illegitimate child outside.

I don't know what Lin Xueqing's expression would be when she knew the truth.

After Ye Leyao finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. Abandonment is a crime, so he changed his words and said, "Or, Second Aunt, you can divorce and not ask for custody?"

[But before the divorce, Second Aunt must return the money.]

[I vaguely remember that Second Aunt also stole a particularly important piece of jewelry, which caused Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo to... what on earth was it?]

Lin Xueqing was so angry that her expression was distorted.

So after she just said so many things in a weird tone, Ye Leyao really thought she was talking about her baby Jiawang? !

Ye Leyao finally turned to the record in the memo, and his voice suddenly rose:

[I remember! Engagement ring! Second Aunt stole the engagement ring that Mr. Huo gave to Mrs. Huo and sold it! Then the ring was passed to a woman who coveted Huo's father. Huo's mother thought that Huo's father secretly gave it to her. Because of this, the two divorced directly! 】

Huo's father, who had just stepped into the house, heard such a thought-provoking and informative sentence. He suddenly paused and looked up at Huo's mother.

The engagement ring was sold by Lin Xueqing?

They divorced because of this?

What happened? !

Huo's mother was even more shocked. She usually didn't want to wear her engagement ring for fear of accidentally losing it. As a result, it was stolen and sold by Lin Xueqing? ! !

Lin Xueqing looked ugly. She didn't notice Huo's mother's sudden change of expression, let alone Huo's father at the door. She was still angry about what Ye Leyao had just said.

Listen to what Ye Leyao is saying!

She just wanted to teach him a lesson, but he asked her to divorce!

No, she must let this ignorant brat realize today that he is a bastard, why should he stay in the Huo family?

Lin Xueqing said coldly: "Ye Leyao, you are an outsider--"

"Lin Xueqing!" Mother Huo couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted her sharply.

Lin Xueqing was startled by the voice and swallowed the rest of her words. She turned around to look at Mother Huo and found that her face was extremely ugly.

She didn't say anything yet, and her cousin was protecting Ye Leyao like this?

Lin Xueqing was even more upset: "Cousin, I didn't say..."

"Xiaoyao is my son, and you," Mother Huo paused, and then said, "are just a guest."

Lin Xueqing's face flushed instantly, and she was furious.

Seeing that she wanted to say something, Mother Huo spoke again: "By the way, I suddenly found that I was missing a lot of jewelry some time ago."

Mother Huo's voice was cold, and she stared at Lin Xueqing without blinking while speaking.

Lin Xueqing's eyelids jumped suddenly, as if she was poured from head to toe with a basin of ice water. Her anger subsided instantly, and her blood ran cold.

She couldn't hide her panic on her face, and she lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at Mother Huo.

She really found out?

It shouldn't be? !

Lin Xueqing pulled the corners of her mouth and showed a somewhat ugly smile: "Yes, is that so... I remember that my cousin, you like to lose things usually. Could it be that you remembered the wrong place?"

At this time, Father Huo also walked in and winked at the housekeeper beside him: "Just take a look at the surveillance and you will know."

Lin Xueqing's expression became even uglier, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose. She fidgeted and hummed twice in agreement, then simply stood up with her bag: "Sister and brother-in-law are back, so I'll..."

"Don't be anxious," Mother Huo smiled at her, "It's time for dinner, how can we not keep the guests for dinner? Right?"

The last sentence was said by Mother Huo to Ye Leyao.

Ye Leyao nodded immediately: "Yes!"

[I was just thinking about how to tell Mother Huo that my second aunt stole her jewelry, but I didn't expect that Mother Huo already knew about it! She is indeed Mother Huo! ]

[Will they start the court battle directly later? ]

[Wow, so exciting!!!]

Father and Mother Huo silently reached out to cover their ears that were overwhelmed by the high pitch.

It's not necessary to be so excited.
