Chapter 157 Money is the most important



"Zhang Xuan, Gu Miaoran?"

The lady took off her sunglasses and looked them up and down.

Zhang Xuan looked at her suspiciously, "You are...?"

"My last name is Xu, Xu Huimin. I believe Madam Gu has heard my name before." She leaned leisurely against the car window, her eyes full of pride as she introduced herself.

Zhang Xuan had been tortured for the past few months and had lost her temper. Even though she saw the contempt in his eyes, she didn't dare to say anything more.

Her mind was racing, and it didn't take long for her to remember who Xu Huimin was.

She was the youngest daughter of the previous generation of the Xu family, the old man's sister, and the aunt of Xu Yanqing, the daughter of the previous generation who was in charge of the Xu family.

She looked at the woman warily, "What do you want to do?"

"Look at that look in your eyes." Xu Huimin rolled her eyes. "I came to you, could it be that I want something from you? Is there anything else you want for me to want?"

"and you……"

"Your only good fortune is that you gave birth to a good daughter and married my nephew. Otherwise, you would never have met me in your life."

Zhang Xuan and Gu Miaoran breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Gu Miaoran was smarter. She looked at the woman in the car and instantly thought of something.

"Ms. Xu, I guess you want us to do something?" She smiled. "You don't agree with Tu Qingyu and Mr. Xu being together?"

This seems like a question, but it is very firm.

Xu Huimin raised her eyelids and glanced at her. "You used to be quite smart, how did you end up like this?"

"Indeed, who could be so stupid as to take down my nephew? It's normal that you can't defeat him."

Gu Miaoran was a little indignant, but what the other person said was true. She just couldn't beat Tu Qingyu.

Even Tu Qingyu didn't fight with her much. They had not even met formally ten times so far, and she had become like this.

Zhang Xuan stared at her, his eyes full of greed. "We'll go with you to deal with Tu Qingyu. How much money can you give us?"

Now in her heart, nothing is more important than money.

It’s so hard… This period of time has been so hard.

She had a diploma from an art school decades earlier and couldn't find a job.

She had been a wealthy wife for decades, drinking tea, arranging flowers, and shopping for bags every day, and she had basically forgotten all the skills she had learned in the past.

Now that she is older and more pretentious, who would want to hire her?

She could only lower her standards for finding a job again and again, but she couldn't do those easier jobs, even as a clerk in a small company.

She can't use a computer, make spreadsheets, or make PPTs.

But the money was getting less and less, and Gu Jianfei didn't go out to work, so he was in a slump all day long.

She had no choice but to go out and look for it every day.

Now, only jobs like hotel cleaning and street sweeping are willing to hire her.

But who will mop the floors and sweep the streets!

She can live a good life, why would she do these rough jobs? !

That unfilial daughter, she felt sorry for her when she dreamed about those things before.

Now in her mind, Tu Qingyu is just a debt collector!

It was clear that she had done nothing to her in her life, and they had even apologized to her. She had begged and pleaded with her, but she just wouldn't understand them.

How can there be such a heartless person in this world!

Xu Huimin looked them up and down and sneered, "As long as you do what I ask, I will give you five million each."

"Just five million?" Zhang Xuan was not very satisfied with the number.

That was her biological daughter. Five million was all it took for a mother to deal with her own daughter?

"Do you want to make love?" Xu Huimin sat back and prepared to let the driver drive.

Gu Miaoran quickly said, "Yes! We want it!"

"Yes, yes, five million is not a small amount, we want it!" Zhang Xuan was afraid that Xu Huimin would really leave, so he spoke hurriedly.

Xu Huimin curled her lips, put her sunglasses back on, and raised her chin, "Come with me."

Zhang Xuan and Gu Miaoran looked at each other and saw calculation in each other's eyes.

The two took just two steps towards the car when they were stopped. Xu Huimin's eyes were filled with undisguised disdain, "Take the car behind, it's so dirty!"

The two men were filled with resentment, lowered their heads and pretended to cower, but in fact they were afraid that the viciousness in their eyes would be seen by others.

Half a month later, Xu Huimin brought people back to the Xu family's old house.

It happened to be the Xu family's New Year's Eve family banquet, a tradition passed down by the older generation.

No matter where you are, you must get together at your old home before the New Year.

Since the old man passed away, this family banquet has been held occasionally.

This year, it was because Xu Huimin, the only elder left from the previous generation and the aunt of Xu Yanqing and others, mentioned that it had been a long time since a family banquet was held.

So today's banquet came about.

Tu Qingyu wore a beige cheongsam with a bright red fur-collared coat. The collar and cuffs were covered with white fur.

She had a simple and elegant hairstyle, and her delicate little face looked even whiter and more rosy under the bright red coat.

When she came out holding Xu Yanqing's hand, all the Xu family members present were stunned.

Although they had met once at the wedding, it was the first time for some of them to be so close.

At that time, they understood why Xu Yanqing, who had never been interested in women, fell for Tu Qingyu.

Who can resist such beauty?

Xu Yanqing took Tu Qingyu to greet everyone one by one. Those people were also very respectful and treated Tu Qingyu with respect when necessary.

Until someone said, "Where's my great aunt? Didn't she say a long time ago that she would be back for the family banquet this year?"

"Yeah, how come the banquet is about to start, but no one is here yet?"

"Are you talking about me?" As she was speaking, Xu Huimin, dressed in formal attire, stood at the door of the banquet hall.

She walked straight to Tu Qingyu step by step, looking him up and down critically, "Are you Tu Qingyu?"

Just with this one glance, Tu Qingyu didn't feel anything yet, but Xu Yanqing felt uncomfortable first.

He put his arm around Tu Qingyu and frowned at Xu Huimin, "Aunt, what's the matter?"

Xu Huimin smiled. "Look at you, why are you so nervous? Your aunt has loved you the most since you were little. How could she possibly harm you?"

When she said this, Xu Yanqing frowned even more tightly.

Even the Xu family members nearby felt that Xu Huimin might be about to cause trouble.

After all, this young lady from the Xu family has never been an easy person to deal with.

Sure enough, the next second they heard Xu Huimin say, "I just happened to meet two people outside. They seemed to have something to ask Miss Tu, and they looked very urgent. I felt sorry for them, so I brought them in."

"Aunt, don't do anything rash!" Xu Yanqing narrowed his eyes, full of warning.

But Xu Huimin was quite skeptical. She didn't believe that Xu Yanqing had fallen deeply in love with Tu Qingyu in just over a year.

What she couldn't believe even more was that he would make things difficult for her, his aunt, just for Tu Qingyu.
