Chapter 109: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!

 Chapter 109: Miss Shen, I swear there’s nothing between Xingjian and me

Huo Yushu immediately spotted the familiar phone number on the screen, and a surge of anger flared up.

Thinking back to when she had foolishly fawned over Li Qingxue and criticized her sister-in-law, she now wanted to slap herself as hard as she could. At the same time, she really wanted to give Li Qingxue a good beating.

"Shameless bitch, how dare she call!" Huo Yushu gritted her teeth. "Sister-in-law, let me handle this. If I don’t tear this shameless thing apart, I’m not Huo Yushu."

Shen Cheng raised an eyebrow, her lips curling into a playful smile as she handed the phone to Huo Yushu. "Sure."

Huo Yushu took the phone and tapped the answer button, her voice dripping with mock sweetness.

"Miss Shen, did you receive the money?" Li Qingxue’s voice came through, soft and melodious, almost like a mocking bird’s song, carrying a hint of arrogant provocation. "I know Miss Shen is short on cash, so this two million is my gift to you as pocket money."

"Miss Shen, I also know you’ve had some issues with me and misunderstood my relationship with Xingjian."

"Let me explain again—there’s nothing between me and Xingjian. We’re just friends, completely innocent and pure."

"Miss Shen, as Xingjian’s wife, you should be understanding and compassionate toward him, not making a scene and embarrassing him."

"He works hard all day. When he gets home, what he needs most is his wife’s care and love. If you really love Xingjian, then think more about him."

"Miss Shen?" Li Qingxue continued after a pause, wondering if Shen Cheng was even listening, since there hadn’t been a single word from her.

This... why wasn’t Shen Cheng responding? Wasn’t she supposed to be furious and shouting at her?

"Finished?" Huo Yushu asked casually, her tone unbothered.

"Yushu?" Li Qingxue’s voice turned to confusion, hearing the unfamiliar voice.

"Yes, it’s me," Huo Yushu chuckled. "What did you just say? You know my sister-in-law is short on money? This two million is your pocket money for her?"

"No, Yushu..."

"Ah, so Miss Li is so wealthy and generous, giving two million as pocket money! And it’s to someone who’s completely unrelated to you!" Huo Yushu cut her off, still smiling broadly. "Since you’re so rich, how about returning the one hundred million you owe our family?"

"Yushu, listen to me..."

"Li Qingxue, I’m giving you two days!" Huo Yushu said slowly, her voice sharp and commanding. "Two days. If the money isn’t repaid by then, prepare to go to jail! One hundred million is enough to keep you locked up for years!"

"You’re young, beautiful, and at your prime, perfect for snaring a rich man. But if you end up in jail for a few years, by the time you get out, you’ll be all used up and faded!"

"At that point, good luck finding another rich man! Oh, and just a reminder—this world is full of young and beautiful women, each one younger and prettier than you!"

"After you serve your time, you might be forgotten by everyone!" Huo Yushu continued her rapid-fire speech, not giving Li Qingxue a single moment to speak.

Listening to her harsh words, Shen Cheng gave her a thumbs up.

Huo Yushu joyfully danced around.

Ah! Ah! Ah! Sister-in-law praised me! She said I’m capable and impressive! She even gave me a thumbs up!

"Yushu, didn't I already pay the two million earlier? Where is the one hundred million?" Li Qingxue said with a bitter tone.

"Besides, I don't have that much money! You know, I was in a coma for over two years. I just woke up recently, and this two million is all of my savings."

"Yushu, you know me, I..."

"First of all, that two million just now was a gift to my sister-in-law, wasn’t it?" Huo Yushu interrupted her, "Since it’s a gift, it doesn’t count as part of the one hundred million debt."

"Don’t deny it! I recorded what you said earlier! You willingly gave it, with no strings attached!"

"Second, whether you have money or not has nothing to do with me! You owe us money, so you must pay it back! It’s only natural to repay a debt!"

"Third, whether you were in a coma for two years or three doesn’t matter to me! I just want you to pay back what you owe!"

"But, Yushu, I was injured because of Xingjian!" Li Qingxue said, feeling wronged. "Xingjian is..."

"Li Qingxue, let me remind you one more time! Don’t test my patience! Call my brother, Mr. Huo!" Huo Yushu’s voice grew louder, carrying clear warning and threat. "And do you really think I don’t know how you got into that car accident?"

"Do you want me to throw the evidence in your face? Did I give you face? I’ll say it again, two days! Forty-eight hours! If the money doesn’t come through, you can wait to join Li An An in prison!"

Without giving Li Qingxue a chance to speak, Huo Yushu hung up the phone.

She then turned to see Shen Cheng with a pleasant smile, watching her with amusement.

The smile made Huo Yushu feel a bit confused, even... uneasy.

She touched her face, then her earlobe, nervously asking, "Sister-in-law, do I... have something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that? It’s making me feel a little anxious."

"Did I say something wrong that upset you?"

She thought carefully. She didn’t think she had said anything wrong. She had just been cursing Li Qingxue! Which part could have upset her sister-in-law?

Oh... this expression and smile from sister-in-law made her nervous.

"Do you know anything about Li Qingxue’s car accident from two years ago?" Shen Cheng asked.

At the question, Huo Yushu let out a long breath in relief, her heart finally settling.

She smiled, "I don’t know anything. I just took the opportunity to extort her."

"Sister-in-law, well... in the past, our family may have been in the water for too long, and we let some water into our heads. So... we didn’t really recognize people clearly."

"Just... a little?" Shen Cheng asked, her expression like a faint smile, but her eyes held a hint of scrutiny.

"Ah, no! Not just a little! A lot, a lot!" Huo Yushu quickly admitted, then affectionately looped her arm through Shen Cheng’s, smiling ingratiatingly. "But luckily, we stopped ourselves in time. We turned back just in time."

"Huo Yushu, you’re changing the subject." Shen Cheng smiled sweetly at her, but her eyes were clearly probing.

"No, no! Absolutely not! I’m just telling the truth!" Huo Yushu quickly said, but when she saw the serious look in Shen Cheng's eyes, her face immediately grew serious. She said with a very sincere tone, "Sister-in-law, I was just misled by others, not brain-dead."

"A person who has been in a coma for over two years, how could they wake up and be the same as normal people in just a few days?"
