"No! I won't leave. This is my home. I'm not going anywhere!" Wang Man's eyes held both pleading and determination.
It's kind of funny to think about it now. A few years ago, she didn't want to marry Hu Yuan either, but Li Sufeng dragged her along, and that's how she finally got married.
But this time, she didn't want to give in anymore!
Just as Li Sufeng was dragging Wang Man out, a hand suddenly pressed down on her shoulder.
Unable to move, Li Sufeng turned and saw Hu Yuan. Her heart tightened, and she immediately cried out in panic, "You... what do you want to do!"
Hu Yuan shook his head. "I don't want to do anything! If Wang Man wants to go with you, I have no objection! But she clearly doesn't want to go with you now, so even if you are her mother, you can't force her!"
Hu Yuan's words were forceful and resounding.
Li Sufeng's heart skipped a beat, but she still gritted her teeth and said to Hu Yuan, "What does this have to do with you! I'm her mother, she's my daughter, and she has to listen to me!"
Hu Yuan narrowed his eyes, then said firmly, "But she's my woman now!"
"I promised her I would take good care of her and Tuantuan, and I will definitely protect them, so you can't take them away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Yuan's eyes met Wang Man's, and a feeling of deep emotion slowly welled up in her heart.
This man, in the end, still managed to enter her heart...
Looking at Hu Yuan, and then at her daughter, Li Sufeng was unwilling to give up.
Left with no other option, she had to change tactics, adopting a pitying and earnest tone as she said to Hu Yuan, "Hu Yuan, I don't care what you originally thought! But look at your home, what a mess it is..."
As Li Sufeng spoke, she pointed to the furnishings in Hu Yuan's home.
"With your condition, let alone supporting that mother and daughter, you'd have trouble even supporting yourself!"
"Have some mercy! You two should get a divorce. Can't you give Wang Man a better future?! If things get serious, we can take the younger one with us and not leave you with any burden. What do you say?"
Li Sufeng felt that she had been trying to persuade him with kind words, saying both good and bad things.
But Hu Yuan remained resolute, staring intently into the other person's eyes.
After a long pause, he shook his head. "Following me is Wang Man's best way out!"
"Are you out of your mind?!" Li Sufeng was furious at Hu Yuan's stubborn reply.
"Wang Man is so young, why do you have to keep harping on her? Do you really want to ruin her life? Can't you be a decent human being?"
"I told you, I'm not holding her back; I'll definitely take good care of her!"
"What will you use to take care of her! Do you have money? Do you have a house? Do you have as much money as the people in our area who have tens of thousands of yuan?" Li Sufeng said with disdain.
Hearing her words, Hu Yuan gave a strange smile and then said, "So, if I take out the money now, will you agree not to divorce me?"
"Give me the money?"
Hearing this, Li Sufeng found it amusing.
Looking at Hu Yuan's simple appearance, did he really think money was just worthless paper?
Someone like him, how could he possibly come up with money?
She then said disdainfully, "That's right! If you can come up with ten thousand today, no! If you can come up with five thousand, I'll turn around and leave. I definitely won't force you to divorce. How about it?!"
Upon hearing Li Sufeng's words, not only Hu Yuan but also Wang Man's eyes turned strange.
However, this strangeness turned into worry and difficulty in Li Sufen's eyes.
"How about that? Can't produce it now, huh! What are you trying to prove, acting all high and mighty..."
"Well……"
Li Sufeng, who had been mocking, suddenly stopped, as if a tuft of yarn had been stuffed into her throat.
Because Hu Yuan directly pulled out two stacks of hundred-yuan bills from his bag and placed them right in front of her.
"This...you...what is this...?"
Her previous arrogance vanished instantly, leaving Li Sufeng with a blank mind.
Because she simply couldn't believe that Hu Yuan could come up with so much money, so many sums of money...
"You... what do you mean? Where did you get so much money? No, you didn't rob me..."
Before Li Sufeng could finish speaking, Wang Man's voice rang out from behind, "That's what he earned!"
"Earned...earned?! This..."
Li Sufeng couldn't believe her ears; Hu Yuan could actually earn so much money.
Judging from the thickness of this stack, it must be worth close to 20,000 yuan. How did this guy, who is described as a petty thug, earn so much money from the south?
Full of doubt, Li Sufeng couldn't imagine what was going on.
However, the impact she was facing was something that the Wu family, who were known as wealthy households with tens of thousands of yuan, could never provide.
Although everyone says the Wu family is a well-known wealthy family with tens of thousands of yuan, no one has ever seen them take out so much money.
Li Sufeng was completely stunned when she saw that this hoodlum—oh no! her son-in-law—had actually earned so much money in one go.
"So? Do you still want me to divorce Wang Man?" Hu Yuan asked his mother-in-law with a smile as he pressed down on the two stacks of money.
"I……"
Her face flushed red and then turned pale, but Li Sufeng quickly realized what was happening.
With a beaming smile, she said to Hu Yuan, "Son-in-law, what are you saying? I just wanted to test how you would treat Wang Man. How could I possibly really drag you into a divorce!"
Li Sufeng's rapid change left Hu Yuan and even Wang Man feeling both amused and exasperated.
However, since she was Wang Man's mother, Hu Yuan couldn't say much.
He could only shake his head and say, "As long as you don't plan to drag us into a divorce, you'll still be my good mother-in-law!"
"That's impossible! How could I possibly let you two get a divorce? You know, I was the one who gave my consent to your marriage with Wang Man in the first place. It's impossible, impossible..."
Hu Yuan really didn't want to waste any more time arguing with her, so he said to Wang Man, "Wang Man, you sit with Mom for a bit, I'll go buy some groceries..."
Hu Yuan then put the money back in his bag and turned to leave.
After watching Hu Yuan leave, Li Sufeng's expression became quite interesting.
"You brat! Why didn't you tell me Hu Yuan was so rich! Now I've made such a scene, it's so embarrassing!"
"How could I not tell you? It's clearly you who didn't give me a chance to tell you... You forced me to divorce him right away..." Wang Man said, feeling somewhat aggrieved.
Li Sufeng pinched Wang Man and then said angrily, "You're blaming me now? I'm doing this for your own good! All I want is for you to have a good life! And now you're blaming your mother? You're heartless!"
"Was that for me...?" Wang Man muttered softly.
"What are you saying now, you brat!"
