Chapter 76: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!

 Chapter 76: I'm Just an Illegitimate Daughter

A figure swiftly entered the room, rushed up, and covered her mouth. "What are you yelling for, ancestor? Your dad is still asleep!"

"Hoohoo..." Huo Yuyan struggled, trying to break free from her hand.

"Can you be quieter? Can you let me have some peace?" Yu Fengcai chided lightly. "Your dad is in poor health; he needs rest. If you wake him up, he'll get angry at you again."

Last night had really scared Yu Fengcai.

After more than thirty years, she had never seen Huo Yunshan so furious, so worked up that he vomited blood.

"Alright, alright, you're not needed here. Just go back. Staying here won't help anything," Yu Fengcai said as she withdrew her hand and lowered her voice. "You do what you need to do, and I'll take care of your dad."

"Huo Yushu is such a bitch! Mom, look!" Huo Yuyan shoved her phone in front of her.

There was a new post from Huo Yushu on her social media:

— As expected, Dad still loves Mom and me the most.

— Dad, keep it up!

Attached were two screenshots of bank transfers: one for 5.2 million to Wen Yintong, and another for 20 million to Huo Yuyan.

Looking at the screenshots, Yu Fengcai felt her lips twitch uncontrollably, and her temples throbbed painfully.

5.2 million! 20 million!

He had never been so generous with money for them, not even once!

"Huo Yushu, what right does she have to receive so much money?! What about me? I’ve never received anything like that!" Huo Yuyan's face twisted in jealousy and frustration.

Twenty million! She never even dreamed that her father would transfer such a large sum of money to her!

Just yesterday, Huo Yushu had extorted 1.5 million from her.

That 1.5 million... she had begged her brother for a long time before he finally transferred it to her.

"What's all the noise about?!" Huo Yunshan, lying on the hospital bed, asked irritably.

"Dad, give me some money too!" Huo Yuyan quickly walked up to him as soon as she saw he was awake, looking down at him with an authoritative tone.

Huo Yunshan was momentarily stunned, but upon seeing Huo Yuyan’s angry expression, his brows furrowed in confusion.

At this, Yu Fengcai quickly pulled Huo Yuyan to her side. "Cloud Mountain, don’t listen to her. She’s just throwing a tantrum. You rest for a bit, and I—"

"I’m not throwing a tantrum!" Huo Yuyan interrupted her, glaring at Huo Yunshan. "Dad, I’m your daughter too! If you can transfer 20 million to Huo Yushu, why can't you transfer it to me?"

"You didn’t just give Huo Yushu 20 million, you also gave Wen Yintong 5.2 million!"

"Heh! Dad, you really are romantic, huh! 520, are you confessing to her?"

"Dad, I don’t need you to give me 20 million, just half of it will do! And then, you can give Mom 5.2 million too! Didn’t you say..."

"Shut up!" Before she could finish, Huo Yunshan angrily shouted at her.

Everything clicked into place in his mind like a movie, replaying the amounts of 20 million and 5.2 million over and over.

Furious, he suddenly jumped out of bed, and before Huo Yuyan could react, he slapped her hard across the face with a "slap!"

"Unworthy wretch, how dare you ask me for 10 million! Ah! What gives you the face to do that?!"

The slap was so heavy it not only stunned Huo Yuyan but also Yu Fengcai.

The mother and daughter stood there in stunned silence for a moment.

Especially Huo Yuyan, whose head was buzzing, her cheek burning with pain, and the strong metallic taste of blood in her mouth.

"Ah!" Coming back to her senses, Huo Yuyan let out a sharp scream, clutching her slapped cheek, looking at him in disbelief. "Dad... you... hit me? You hit me! Woo..."

She cried, deeply hurt and aggrieved.

"Since I was a child, you never even raised your voice at me, let alone hit me. And now, you hit me!"

"Am I still your daughter? Are you really so biased toward Huo Yushu?"

"Yes, she’s your legitimate daughter. The precious jewel you hold in the palm of your hand. What am I? Just an illegitimate daughter who’s hidden away in the dark!"

"You lavish gold on her and her mother, but you won’t give a single penny to me! Yesterday, she bullied me like that, and you didn’t help me. And now, you hit me!"

"Yuyan, stop!" Yu Fengcai snapped, quickly trying to calm her down. "Don’t make your dad any angrier…"

"Am I the one making her angry now?" Huo Yuyan shot her a bitter glare. "It’s him…"

"Two million, huh? You want two million, don’t you?" Huo Yunshan paced back and forth, gritting his teeth. "If it weren’t for you, would I have transferred that two million? Not just two million—over thirty million!"

"How dare you shout at me like this! Huo Yuyan, are you out of your mind?! Do you even think before you act?!"

"Why did you go to Huo Yushu in the first place?! One million six hundred thousand! You made her spend that much money on you in one year!"

"Do you know that two million was money I paid for your debts?!"

"What?!" Both Yu Fengcai and Huo Yuyan froze, not believing their ears.

"I didn’t spend that much money on her! She’s just making it up!" Huo Yuyan denied, but her voice was filled with guilt.

After all, she had indeed made Huo Yushu transfer money to her from time to time—buying clothes, bags, shoes, and other things.

"No, Yunshan," Yu Fengcai looked at him with uncertainty, "Did you really go to the Wen family yesterday and not manage to smooth things over with Wen Yintong? Did they extort so much money from you?"

"You still dare say that?!" Huo Yunshan shot her a vicious glare. "Isn’t it all your idea? You told me to go to the Wen family and appease her? And look what happened—Huo Yushu, that wretched girl, demanded such a large sum of money!"

"Not just the two million, Wen Yintong got 520,000, and I even had to send 600,000 to Shen Cheng!"

Over thirty million!

Just thinking about it made him wince in pain.

The worst part was, the money was spent, but Wen Yintong hadn’t forgiven him. Even Wen Runan, that old fool, was giving him the cold shoulder, mocking him.

In the past thirty years, he had never felt this humiliated!

Yu Fengcai, upon hearing this, felt the same painful sting in her heart.

More than thirty million! That was an enormous sum! Even their entire family combined didn’t have that much!

"I can’t accept this! I won’t let it go!" Huo Yuyan gritted her teeth. "This money needs to be returned! It’s our family’s money! I’m going to find them now!"

"Stop right there!" Yu Fengcai shouted, halting her. "Are you trying to make things even worse? You’re just adding fuel to the fire!"

"Mom!" Huo Yuyan stamped her foot in frustration.

Taking a deep breath, a cold gleam flickered in Yu Fengcai’s eyes as she turned to Huo Yunshan. "Yunshan, it looks like only I can take care of this now."
