Chapter 74: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!

 Chapter 74: Men Are Just Cheap!

“What did you say?!” Huo Yunshan suddenly shoved her away, his face twisted as he looked at her.

“Dad, what are you doing?” Huo Yuyan complained, upset after being suddenly pushed. “Not only did she scam me out of one hundred and fifty thousand, but she also made me lose face in front of my friends!”

“Dad, I’m telling you, Huo Yushi…”

“Tell me clearly—what do you mean by she scammed you out of one hundred and fifty thousand?” Huo Yunshan interrupted her, his voice low and stern. “What exactly happened?”

His face was stormy, as dark as the ominous clouds before a thunderstorm.

Huo Yuyan was startled and stood frozen, looking at him in shock, unsure how to react.

“Speak!” Seeing her silent, Huo Yunshan shouted again, raising his voice.

“Waa…” Huo Yuyan, frightened by his shout, immediately burst into tears. “You’re yelling at me! Dad, you’re yelling at me! Huo Yushi bullied me, Huo Xingjian also bullied me, and now you’re yelling at me too! None of you are helping me, waa waa…”

She cried pitifully, like a ten-year-old child, with none of the dignity of a twenty-four-year-old woman.

Hearing the commotion, Yu Fengcai rushed out.

She immediately embraced the sobbing Huo Yuyan, comforting her gently, “What happened? Who bullied you? Why are you crying like this?”

She looked up at Huo Yunshan, confused. “Yunshan, what’s going on? Why are you yelling at the child? Did you get upset at the Wen family?”

“You’re in the wrong here. You can’t take your frustrations out on the child just because you had a rough time at the Wen family. It’s been so long since Yuyuan came back, and the moment she does, you snap at her.”

The mention of "getting upset at the Wen family" made Huo Yunshan’s anger flare up even more.

Hadn’t he just suffered humiliation at the Wen family? And it wasn’t a small amount of humiliation either! It was more than twenty million! It wasn’t just a couple thousand bucks—his company barely made that much in a month!

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to suppress his anger.

“Enough, stop crying!” Huo Yunshan growled impatiently, his voice getting louder. “Crying won’t solve anything! You’re grown, and you’re still crying when things go wrong.”

“She’s still a child in our eyes!” Yu Fengcai retorted, clearly displeased. “What’s wrong with letting her cry in front of her parents? If she can’t vent her grievances here, what’s the use of having parents?”

“Alright, alright, stop crying.” She coaxed Huo Yuyan gently, “Wipe your tears and tell us what happened. Who bullied you?”

“Oh, wait, didn’t you arrange to meet with Huo Yushi?” Yu Fengcai suddenly remembered. “Did she make you upset?”

Mentioning Huo Yushi made Huo Yuyan even angrier. The crying that had stopped briefly resumed with fresh tears.

Seeing her cry like this, so helpless and just bawling, Huo Yunshan was so angry he simply ignored her and turned to walk into the house.

“Yunshan, don’t be mad.” Seeing this, Yu Fengcai quickly followed him, but not before comforting Huo Yuyan, trying to soothe her, “Stop crying, let’s go inside.”

She led Huo Yuyan into the house, where they found Huo Yunshan pouring himself a glass of liquor, his face grim as he drank in silence.

Seeing this, Yu Fengcai felt a pang of sympathy for him.

She walked over and snatched the glass from his hand, asking with concern, “What happened? Why are you yelling at our daughter as soon as you come back? And now you’re drinking alone?”

“Didn’t you go to comfort Wen Yintong? Didn’t she respond well to you? She’s always so easy to calm down. Just say a few nice words to her, and she’ll forget everything else.”

That was true. In the past, Wen Yintong had always been easy to placate. No matter what was bothering her, as long as Huo Yunshan spoke a few sweet words, all her grievances would vanish.

Huo Yunshan never needed to spend a dime to calm her down; all it took was a little flattery.

“Don’t talk about her!” Huo Yunshan’s face darkened, and he snatched the glass back, downing it in one go.

"Don't drink like that! It's bad for your health!" Yu Fengcai said with a face full of concern. "You're not young anymore! You're already in your fifties! You need to take care of your health!"

"Yuyan, what happened? Tell me! Look, your dad is so upset." She shouted at Huo Yuyan.

Huo Yuyan was once again shocked by Huo Yunshan's actions and expression.

She trembled as she recounted what had happened at the bar. "Dad, Mom, Huo Yushu went too far! Not only did she refuse to pay the bill, but she also took away three bottles of wine worth 360,000."

"One hundred and fifty thousand! I don’t have that much money! I called Huo Xingjian to pay the bill, but he lectured me, saying that since Huo Yushu didn’t drink, I didn’t have to pay for it."

"He even said that as an adult, I should take responsibility myself. He’s so rich, so what's the big deal if he gave me one hundred and fifty thousand? One hundred and fifty thousand..."

"Spit!"

Before Huo Yuyan could finish her sentence, Huo Yunshan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ah!" Yu Fengcai screamed, "Yunshan, what's wrong? Why are you vomiting blood?"

"Dad, dad! What's wrong? Don't scare me, dad! Dad!" Huo Yuyan screamed in panic and fear.

Mother and daughter were like headless flies, frantically circling around Huo Yunshan, not knowing how to react in the moment.

Then they saw Huo Yunshan slowly collapse to the ground, his face as pale as a sheet.

"Yunshan, Yunshan! What's wrong? You can’t have anything happen to you! Don’t scare me!"

"Dad, dad, wake up! Wake up!"

"Call 120..." Huo Yunshan, lying on the ground, said weakly.

Mother and daughter quickly reacted, fumbling with their phones to dial for help.

Wen Family

Wen Yintong and Huo Yushu were sitting on the sofa in a room, a tablet placed on the coffee table in front of them. The tablet was showing a scene from Wenhua yuan.

When they saw Huo Yunshan spit blood in anger, both mother and daughter curled their lips into mocking, cold smiles.

"Deserved it!" Wen Yintong said indifferently, her eyes filled with no concern, only coldness.

Huo Yushu picked up a piece of fruit and handed it to her mouth. "Mom, what do you think my worthless dad likes about that old woman, Yu Fengcai?"

"She's not as pretty as you, not as young, not as cultured, not as elegant or composed. What could he possibly like about her?"

Huo Yushu was truly puzzled.

Wen Yintong scoffed disdainfully. "Maybe he likes her because she’s old, maybe he likes how low-class she is."

"Men, they're just cheap!" Huo Yushu snorted. "My brother is the same!"

"Achoo!" Huo Xingjian, who had just come out of the bathroom, suddenly sneezed.

Then he noticed that Shen Cheng was not in the room.

He frowned in displeasure and picked up his phone to dial her number.

"Hello, the subscriber is currently unavailable to take your call. You can leave a message..."

"Mrs. Huo, do you still need the things in the safe? Do you still want the main card?" he interrupted her in a calm, measured tone.
