Cousin Sun looked genuinely embarrassed for a moment, but she didn't seem to care. "I'm afraid you don't know yet, but the Huo family is about to be finished."
"You just married Huo Beichen, and he's about to go bankrupt. Don't you think you're a jinx?"
The butler's face darkened considerably. He immediately took out his phone, ready to dial a number...
Hua Fei stopped him: "Butler, are you going to call Huo Beichen?"
The butler said angrily, "Even the Sun family's cats and dogs dare to act so presumptuously. Let President Huo handle them."
A hint of fear flickered in Cousin Sun's eyes.
“There’s no need,” Hua Fei stopped the housekeeper. “Cousin Sun must have something to say. Let her finish what she needs to say first.”
"Yes." The butler obeyed her every word.
Cousin Sun muttered under her breath, "Even a dog knows its master. My Xiaowei has been your master for several years and has never mistreated you, but you turn your back on her!"
The butler smiled faintly: "You're right, I only recognize the true master."
"you……"
“Cousin Sun,” Hua Fei interrupted her, “just say what you have to say. Aren’t you tired of standing? I get tired of sitting for too long.”
"Get him out." Cousin Sun glared at the housekeeper. "He has no right to listen."
“Oh,” Hua Fei said dismissively, “the housekeeper isn’t here, I can’t make decisions on my own.”
"Cousin Sun, why don't you stop talking?"
Cousin Sun clenched her fists in anger, but this matter concerned Sun Xiaowei's happiness and the Sun family's reputation, so she had to do it right.
Helpless, she took a check out of her bag and slammed it onto the coffee table.
"Take this money and leave Huo Beichen and the Huo family immediately."
Hua Fei picked up the check and counted it from the back to the front. "Wow, eight figures!"
"I've never seen so much money in my entire life!"
Cousin Sun looked smug and said, "With your background and spending habits, this amount of money is enough for you to live on for a lifetime."
Hua Fei nodded seriously, "If we consider my spending habits before I got married, it would definitely be more than enough."
Cousin Sun was puzzled; something seemed off about what she was saying.
“Yes, I’ll take the money,” Hua Fei said.
Cousin Sun's face lit up with joy.
Hua Fei walked up to the butler and handed him the check, saying, "You've worked hard these past few days, this is a bonus for you."
"Thank you, Madam." The butler accepted the gift with neither servility nor arrogance.
Cousin Sun was stunned, her eyes wide with anger: "Hua Fei, what are you doing...?"
Hua Fei made a "shh" gesture at her, "Stop making a fuss, it's so petty. A mere eight figures? A set of jewelry in the Huo family's safe is worth that much, isn't it? Give it to the employees as a bonus, the Huo family can afford it."
"This was given to you by Xiaowei!" Cousin Sun said angrily.
"Pshaw!" Hua Fei sneered. "Is Sun Xiaowei out of her mind? I'm Mrs. Huo now. Do you think I'd even look at this check?"
"Speaking of which, Sun Xiaowei must have taken quite a bit from Huo Beichen over the years, right?"
“Yes, madam,” the butler replied, “I have five sets of jewelry worth tens of millions of dollars.”
"According to custom, Miss Sun should return such valuable items after the relationship ends!"
The butler cooperated perfectly!
"Consider this check as a partial return," Hua Fei said casually. "Also, Cousin Sun, don't come looking for me again unless Sun Xiaowei continues to return valuable items."
After saying that, Hua Fei stepped forward and went up the stairs.
"Butler, see the guests out!" A light voice came from the stairs.
She went up to the second floor and sat down on the terrace.
She went upstairs purely to act like the lady of the house; in reality, there was no room for her on the second floor.
After sitting for a while, the housekeeper came over and brought her a cup of hot coffee.
"Thank you." Hua Fei smiled slightly.
The butler took out the check and placed it on the small table. "Madam, this is for you."
"What, you thought I was putting on an act just now?" Hua Fei asked. "This really is your bonus, take it."
The butler smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness, Madam. I haven't done anything, so I don't deserve such a large bonus."
“Perhaps,” Hua Fei said meaningfully, “No one can say for sure. In any case, I am now Mrs. Huo, and there is no reason for me to go back on my word.”
The housekeeper didn't press her further and took the check back, saying, "Then I'll keep it for you for now."
Hua Fei glanced at him. "Butler, besides Sun Xiaowei, does Huo Beichen have any other women?"
The butler paused slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
Hua Fei smiled and said, "Your expression, though it doesn't say anything, actually says everything."
The housekeeper was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Huo is successful in his career and charming, so it's not surprising that he has women around him. However, the only one he can marry is you, my wife."
“Men get married for many reasons,” Hua Fei said dismissively. “For example, Zeze’s mother even had a child, but she still couldn’t marry Huo Beichen, right?”
"Actually, Mr. Huo originally wanted to marry Miss Sheng..." the butler blurted out, but immediately realized he had said the wrong thing.
The butler, as expected, knows something.
Hua Fei smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? I know this Miss Sheng. Zeze has also told me about her."
The housekeeper was slightly relieved. "That's all in the past, Madam. You don't need to take it to heart."
Hua Fei shook her head: "But Huo Beichen has never let go."
The butler was taken aback.
Huo Beichen had been sending people to search for Sheng Nanyin's whereabouts, and he knew about it.
But this matter has always been kept secret, and even Sun Xiaowei didn't know about it.
How could Huafei have noticed?
"Is that what Mr. Huo told you?" the butler asked tentatively.
Hua Fei sighed softly, her tone melancholic, "Just because he didn't say anything, did you think I couldn't tell?"
"He has another woman in his heart, I don't blame him, but he never tells me the truth, and I don't know how to help him... Sigh!"
Her soft sigh saddened the housekeeper.
Hua Fei is a kind person; not only did she cure the young master, she also drove away that annoying Miss Sun.
She was always very concerned when her employees had a minor illness or headache.
Moreover, she treated him and he recovered very quickly.
The butler thought he should also help Huafei...
“Madam, to be honest with you,” the butler lowered his voice, “I suspect that Miss Sheng is no longer in this world…”
Hua Fei exclaimed to the housekeeper, his eyes wide with surprise, "No way!"
The butler shook his head: "I'm just guessing. Two years ago, I overheard Mr. Huo and Miss Sun arguing..."
It was late one night.
He was awakened from his sleep by a loud "thump".
He followed the sound to the second floor and heard Sun Xiaowei angrily cursing: "...She's already dead, and you're still thinking about her!"
"What do you mean?" Huo Beichen was both surprised and angry.
Sun Xiaowei laughed and cried at the same time: "How could she survive in a place like that... Huo Beichen, what are you pretending to be a good person for? It was you who drove her away, it was you..."
