Chapter 69: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!

 Chapter 69: Eating Soft Rice While Acting Justified

[Oh ho! As expected of Huo Yushu, a woman of action! She's already starting her "scam dad" mission!]

Just as Shen Cheng got out of Huo Xingjian's car and overheard Huo Yushu's words, she felt an intense surge of excitement.

[Yes, that's the way! Squeeze out every penny from Huo Yunshan, this "phoenix man"!]

[After all, his money was stolen from the Wen family. It's rare to see such a shameless old man.]

[For years, he’s been eating soft rice and acting righteous about it, taking money from his wife and son while supporting another family.]

[He should at least know the pain of losing what he took! Let him experience the real cost of this!]

 Huo Yushu thought these words made a lot of sense.

She subtly glanced at Old Master Wen and Wen Yintong, exchanging a knowing look with them. She then put on a playful smile and walked over to Huo Yunshan, hooking her arm around his. "Dad, Yuyan's back. Did you know?"

 Huo Yunshan shook his head. "I didn’t know. When did she come back? Did she contact you? It's been a long time since you two saw each other; there must be a lot to talk about."

He suddenly started bombarding her with a series of concerned questions, his face filled with fondness.

"Dad, what are you saying?" Huo Yushu’s face darkened as she shot him an angry look. "Why would I have to bring her back with me? This is my grandfather’s house, not hers! Do you think in your heart, my grandfather’s house has become hers too?"

"And why are you so concerned about her? If I didn't know better, I'd think she was your daughter instead!"

 Huo Yunshan froze for a moment, his expression darkening. "What nonsense are you talking? Yuyan is my niece! I’m just... "

"Here, these three bottles of wine are what she recommended I buy right after she got back," Huo Yushu interrupted him, placing the three expensive bottles in front of him with a thud. "They cost almost three million! That's all my pocket money for the last few months."

" Huo Yushu, are you crazy?" Wen Yintong grabbed one bottle and examined it closely. "This is just a very ordinary bottle of wine! You're crazy to listen to Yuyan, spending hundreds of thousands on it!"

"What is she even trying to do?" Wen Yintong fumed, placing the bottle harshly on the coffee table. "If she needs money, she could just say so. Haven’t we given her enough already?"

"And let's not forget, Xingjian has been giving her plenty. I give her ten thousand every month, and now she’s trying to scam us?"

"This is outrageous! I’m calling her and asking her what’s going on!"

Wen Yintong grabbed her phone, ready to dial Huo Yuyan’s number.

"Forget it, forget it!" Huo Yunshan quickly stopped her, looking calm and comforting. "There’s no need to scold her over a few million."

"Also, Yuyan must have been misled by someone. You raised her, and you know how kind she is. She’s always been so good to her little sister."

Wen Yintong didn't speak, only offering a cold smile.

"But Dad, I’m out of money," Huo Yushu said with a pitiful expression, her eyes wide. "All the savings I’ve managed to scrape together in the past few months, I’ve spent it all today."

"And let me tell you, I roughly calculated it—Yuyan has taken 16 million from me this year. That’s just for her daily expenses!"

"I haven’t even spent that much myself! And I haven't counted the previous years! Dad, now I don’t even have enough money to eat. Boo-hoo..."

She sobbed dramatically.

[ Huo Yushu's acting is impressive! Of course, Wen Yintong’s acting isn’t bad either.]

[Who knew this mother-daughter duo were such great actresses? Applause for them! But I wonder how much Huo Yunshan will give Huo Yushu...]

[Could he be planning to transfer his target to Huo Xingjian? Judging by the sneaky look in his eyes, he might want to make Huo Xingjian pay for this!]

"Xingjian, send some money to Yushu," Huo Yunshan said to Huo Xingjian seriously, his tone unyielding. "You’re the older brother; you need to take care of your sisters. If they’re out there and don’t have money, it’s your face that gets lost."

" How about your face as the father?" Huo Xingjian replied coldly, "Since you, as the father, don't mind losing face, why should I, as their brother, care?"

"Besides, they’re adults and should be responsible for their actions. I give her allowance every month. If she’s been fooled, it’s her own fault. She can deal with it."

"If she doesn’t have money, she should stay home. We have enough food here for her."

With that, he slowly sat down on the couch, pulling Shen Cheng with him. He grabbed an orange, peeled it carefully, and offered it to her. "Eat this, it’s full of vitamin C."

Shen Cheng: "..."

I suspect you’re hinting at me, but I have no proof.

She rolled her eyes at him, took the peeled orange, and started eating, minding her own business.

[Having such a shameless father is really the tragedy of these two siblings. I’m shedding a tear of sympathy for them.]

"Then I’ll call Yuyan and return the wine to her. And I’ll ask her to give me back the 16 million she took this year." Huo Yushu grabbed her phone, her tone full of indignation.

"I’m younger than her! She’s my older sister, but she doesn't take care of me and uses every trick to scam me!"

"This is too much! She’s just a cousin; I don’t owe her anything!"

"The money I have is from my mom and my brother; doesn’t she have her own family?!"

"Her dad died early, but that doesn’t give her the right to scam me! She’s just missing a father, not a mother!"

"My dad didn’t die, and I never asked him for a penny. Just because her dad’s gone doesn’t mean she’s useless!"

"She’s healthy, isn’t she? Why should I, as the younger sister, support her! She needs to pay me back! I’ve never bought clothes that expensive!"

She angrily said this while dialing her number.

"Don’t call her!" Huo Yunshan hurriedly snatched her phone away. "It’s just three million, I’ll give it to you."

"Dad, it’s not just three million, it’s sixteen million plus three million. It’s nineteen million!" Huo Yushu said seriously.

 Huo Yunshan took a deep breath, clenching his teeth. "Fine, nineteen million, I’ll transfer it to you. Yuyan’s not having it easy, so just let her go."

" Huo Yunshan, your niece isn’t the only one struggling. What about my precious Yushu?" Old Master Wen glared at him, his words deliberate and slow.
