What can we do if we don't agree?
"At that time, Huo Li will invite a few media outlets to the ward, take some pictures, and tearfully denounce Huo Jiayuan."
Pei Zhi said coldly, "The Huo family will become the aggrieved party, and the Pei family will be dragged down. Not to mention, the price I will have to pay will be even greater."
Pei Zhi had already considered various options, and agreeing to Huo Li's offer was currently the most advantageous for both Pei Zhi and Huo Jiayuan.
Huo Jiayuan and Pei Zhicai have just gotten married. If Huo Jiayuan is attacked by the Huo family, the Pei family will definitely not be able to remain unscathed.
Even if Pei Zhi were to resolutely ignore all this troublesome matter, public opinion would not let her off the hook.
"Indeed, because you threw a birthday party for Huo Jiayuan, it caused a huge stir online. The company took advantage of this to launch the 'Treasures' series of jewelry, which is now selling very well. If this incident happens, then it will all be for nothing."
After Qu Miaoyu figured out the whole story, she could only sigh, "The Huo family is really something."
Ultimately, it all boils down to a matter between Huo Jiayuan and Huo Jiaxi.
The Huo family can handle this behind closed doors.
At worst, we can teach Huo Jiayuan a lesson; it won't be a problem.
The Huo family's use of this incident to coerce Pei Zhi shows a complete lack of familial affection.
"Then you'd better be careful. If the Huo family keeps using this incident to threaten you, you'll be in trouble."
If one instance is successful, another will follow. If the Huo family gets a taste of success, the Pei family might really change their surname.
Qu Miaoyu reminded Pei Zhi, "Even if you get them to sign the agreement, the Huo family doesn't seem like the type to abide by agreements."
"Huo Jiaxi is lying in the hospital and can't recover this time. If they bring this up again in the future, I won't let them get away with it."
Huo Jiaxi is currently in the hospital, seriously injured.
If things escalate, it will all be Huo Jiayuan's fault.
"Sigh, this is really a case of losing money to avoid disaster. If you ask me, you shouldn't have married Huo Jiayuan in the first place, then there wouldn't be so much trouble."
Qu Miaoyu was still angry after thinking about it.
"I thought Huo Jiayuan was a gold ingot, but I didn't expect him to be a piece of scrap iron inside."
"And we've spent money on him again and again." Qu Miaoyu asked doubtfully, "Is Huo Jiayuan just destined to lose money?"
"He not only got a small share of the Huo family's money, but he also caused you to pay out bill after bill."
"That's not necessarily true." Pei Zhi picked up her wine glass and took a small sip.
“On your way here, I suddenly remembered something.”
"What?"
What are the main businesses of the Huo family?
When Pei Zhi married Huo Jiayuan, Qu Miaoyu also did some background research on the Huo family.
"Old Master Huo went into business in his early years and made a lot of money, and then invested in real estate."
“When the real estate market was booming, we made a lot of money. But later we became greedy and spent a lot of money to hoard land, wanting to make a big splash. As a result, in the last five or six years, the market has become saturated. But the Huo family’s foundation is still there, and Huo Li has always wanted to develop in other industries.”
"Otherwise, Huo Jiayuan wouldn't have married you."
Pei Zhi said lazily, "The Huo family probably doesn't have much liquid capital, otherwise they wouldn't be holding onto a piece of land and begging for cooperation everywhere."
When houses are hard to sell and are being hoarded at high prices, those who win the auction are naturally unwilling to sell at a loss.
We can only hope that housing prices will recover one day.
Qu Miaoyu has been by Pei Zhi's side for several years and can understand some of Pei Zhi's meaning.
"You've got your eye on these lands?"
Qu Miaoyu said confidently, "They can't possibly sell. The price is low now, and if they sell it, they won't even get half the original price."
If it were her, she wouldn't sell it either.
"I own two gold mines overseas."
"The gold mine is not registered in my name, and now the price of gold has soared."
Pei Zhi whispered, "What if we gave Huo Li a chance to buy two gold mines at a low price?"
"Do you think she might sell some land to raise money to buy a gold mine since she doesn't have enough funds?"
Qu Miaoyu's heart stirred slightly, "If the transaction is to be conducted overseas, the Huo family doesn't have much of a foothold abroad."
“You are different. You have been abroad for nearly ten years. Even if Huo Li spends money, you can’t get a single piece of gold.”
Gold prices are rising every day, and anyone with common sense knows that even if prices fall later, they won't fall much.
Huo Li was also a businessman, and one of his interests was the skyrocketing price of gold.
Given the increasingly sluggish real estate market, it's obvious which she would choose.
Qu Miaoyu gave a thumbs up: "You really have a way with things."
Pei Zhi sighed and shook her head, "If the Huo family hadn't gone too far this time, I wouldn't have wanted to resort to such a despicable method."
This is equivalent to taking money directly from the Huo family's pocket.
However, it was the Huo family that went too far first, directly robbing Pei Zhi of her money.
Then the only option is for the Huo family to double their money and send it into Pei Zhi's pocket.
Qu Miaoyu rolled her eyes. "Stop trying to gain fame here. You've been eyeing the Huo family's land for a long time, haven't you?"
Pei Zhi asked innocently, "How could that be?"
Qu Miaoyu raised her glass and clinked it with Pei Zhi's, "I wish you all the best in the future."
Pei Zhi chuckled, "Thank you."
Qu Miaoyu shook her head inwardly; the Huo family was truly blind.
Do you really think Pei Zhi is some pushover who can inherit the Pei family?
Huo Jiayuan stayed at home for two days before Pei Zhi allowed him to visit Huo Jiaqian at the hospital.
Apart from Huo Jiaxi's indifference towards Huo Jiayuan, both Old Master Huo and Huo Li were quite friendly towards Huo Jiayuan.
They ate them one after another; Huo Jiayuan didn't do it on purpose, and Qianqian is fine.
This immediately put Huo Jiayuan's mind at ease, who had been living in constant fear.
When he got home, he was especially happy to tell Pei Zhi that his grandfather and aunt still cared about him.
They even said things like, "Jacqueline suffered such serious injuries, but neither Grandpa nor Aunt blamed him."
Pei Zhi smiled and let it go on the surface. A few days later, Pei Zhi deliberately left a contract in the bedroom.
It was just a coincidence that Huo Jiayuan saw it.
Huo Jiayuan carefully read the unfair contract before realizing why his grandfather and aunt's attitude towards him had changed so quickly.
It turns out, it wasn't because I cared about him.
Pei Zhi spent money to settle the matter.
No wonder, these past few days, he's been listening to Pei Zhi on the phone, talking about selling things, all the time he's been at home.
They sell them regardless of the price, as if they urgently need the money.
So it turns out, it was all because of him, all because of this contract.
Pei Zhi wanted Huo Jiayuan to know just how cold-blooded and ruthless the Huo family could be.
She was unwilling to let the Huo family steal the credit for her good deed.
Huo Jiayuan is an adult now, and he should know who is most important to him right now.
In this world, only she would treat him so well.
Therefore, Huo Jiayuan should pretend not to know about such a trivial matter as her having a man and a child outside.
