Li Shuhua deflated like a punctured balloon, slumping onto the sofa. He stared helplessly at the two people in front of him, opening his mouth but unable to utter a single word.
The middle-aged woman slowly stood up and walked step by step to Li Shuhua. She curled her lips into a wicked smile. "I'm not the kind of person who's unreasonable or argumentative. How about this, I don't plan to pursue any responsibility against you. As long as you're willing to give my son some compensation for emotional distress, then this matter will be over, and we won't bother you anymore."
Sure enough, their real goal was money!
Li Shuhua frowned, a hint of displeasure in his eyes, but he still tried to remain calm and asked, "How much money do you want?"
Upon hearing this, a glint of greed flashed in the middle-aged woman's eyes. She smiled smugly and held up one finger, saying, "Not much, one million."
This number made Li Shuhua's eyes widen in surprise. He instinctively shook his head and refused, saying, "I don't have that much money!"
The middle-aged woman didn't seem to care. Instead, she smiled and said, "Didn't you say your daughter married a very rich husband? In that case, you can go ask your daughter for it."

"Hey Mom, what's wrong?"
"Yueyue, could you come to the Hilton Hotel in Tiantan? Mom's in a bit of trouble..." Li Shuhua's voice on the phone sounded muffled, as if something was blocking it.
"What did you do?" Lin Yue was startled, and a bad feeling welled up in her heart.
"Oh dear! It's hard to explain over the phone, you'll understand when you come over! Oh, and bring some money with you." Li Shuhua hung up the phone immediately after saying that.
"Hello, Mom! Mom! Mom!" Hearing the dial tone on the phone, Lin Yue's heart began to pound, her brows furrowing tightly as if they could trap a fly.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with Auntie?"
"Yunxi, I don't want to eat hot pot anymore. Can you take me to the Hilton Hotel at the Temple of Heaven?" Lin Yue looked at Song Yunxi anxiously.
“Okay.” Without saying a word, Song Yunxi quickly made a U-turn at the intersection ahead and drove towards the Hilton.
