Chapter 95: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!

 Chapter 95: Comparing, and Disappointed in Huo Yuyan

By the time Huo Yunshan realized what had happened, it was too late—the money was already gone from his pocket.

He gave the money, but it still didn't appease them, and the house was out of the question.

This was what they meant by "losing both the wife and the soldiers." Now, he finally understood it deeply.

With a loud "bang," he slammed his fist on the steering wheel, his face contorted in a twisted snarl.

Just then, Huo Yuyan's call came through.

Seeing her name on the screen only made his anger flare up even more.

He used to think his daughter was smart, with a sweet mouth and able to cheer him up. Plus, since she couldn't call him "Dad" confidently, he naturally had a soft spot for Huo Yuyan.

But recently, he had inexplicably become extremely disappointed in her.

If it hadn't been for Huo Yuyan provoking Huo Yushu last time, he wouldn't have ended up losing over thirty million to the two of them.

And this time, if Huo Yuyan hadn't encouraged the old lady to go to the Wen family to demand two villas from Wen Yintong, he wouldn't have impulsively gone to the Wen family himself.

In the end, he had been swindled out of another thirty million.

Huo Yunshan felt like the cash in his hands was almost drained by Huo Yuyan.

After all, his expenses were huge!

"What is it?" He answered the phone with a tone that was naturally unpleasant, even laced with a hint of accusation.

"Dad, Grandma needs surgery, and the hospital says we need to pay the fees, or they won't let her into the operating room…"

"Then pay it!" Huo Yunshan interrupted angrily. "Huo Yuyan, how old are you? Huh? You still need to call me for something like this?"

"Hasn't your grandma always spoiled you? You've already hurt her so badly, and now you won't even let her into the operating room? Are you trying to kill her?"

"Huo Yuyan, do you have any heart at all!"

The last sentence was squeezed out from between his gritted teeth, showing just how furious he was.

"Dad, I… I don’t have any money," Huo Yuyan said, her voice trembling.

Huo Yunshan gasped, tightly closing his eyes. "What about your mom? She has no money either?"

"My mom can't find her phone… We… we…"

"Huo Yuyan, you're really my good daughter! Your grandma's good granddaughter!" Huo Yunshan interrupted her and hung up the phone.

Then, he had no choice but to transfer the money. What else could he do? The person in the operating room was his own mother—he couldn’t just let her suffer.

As he thought about it, if it had been Wen Yintong and Huo Yushu taking care of the old lady, would this have happened?

Of course not.

In the past, whenever the old lady had even the slightest headache or illness, Wen Yintong would rush her to the hospital for a check-up.

She never asked him for a single penny, and she always arranged the best for the old lady.

Though the old lady had lived with Yu Fengcai in recent years, Wen Yintong had never been disrespectful.

Her stance was that if she didn’t offer physical help, she would naturally provide financial support.

Every month, she gave the old lady a large sum of money, along with the latest clothes, expensive supplements, and even paid for various travel packages.

But now…

Yu Fengcai and Huo Yuyan weren’t even willing to pay such a small amount for the hospital bills.

Suddenly, Huo Yunshan felt an overwhelming sense of disappointment toward the mother and daughter.

By the time he arrived at the hospital, the old lady was still in the operating room.

"Yunshan."

"Dad."

The mother and daughter looked at him anxiously, waiting for his response.

"How is it? What did Yintong say? Where will we live? Which of her properties will she give us?"

"Dad, you absolutely cannot forgive them this time! They have gone too far! They actually left us homeless!"

After speaking, the mother and daughter eagerly awaited his reply.

However, Huo Yunshan didn’t answer them immediately. He just stared at them, his eyes filled with clear disappointment.

At this moment, they were still only concerned about the house.

Not a single word about the old lady’s injuries!

"Yunshan, what's wrong?" Seeing that he remained silent, Yu Fengcai quickly asked. "Did something happen? Is it that Wen Yintong refuses to return the house to us?"

"That’s not acceptable! The house is ours to begin with! How could she sell our property!" Huo Yuyan screamed.

"Shut up!" Yu Fengcai scolded her sharply.

It was clear that she had realized something was wrong, noticing the displeasure on Huo Yunshan’s face.

She quickly changed her tone, trying to sound calm, though there was a touch of grievance and reluctance in her voice. "Well, it doesn't really matter to me. She never promised the house to me anyway."

"I’m used to living a hard life. Worst case, we can go back to the countryside…"

"Mom! I disagree!" Huo Yuyan screamed in horror.

Going back to the countryside? She would rather die than do that!

Was that even a place to live? She was the precious daughter of the Huo family, the center of attention!

"Shut up, when I’m talking to your… second uncle, is it your place to interrupt!" Yu Fengcai glared at her fiercely, her eyes full of warning.

Huo Yuyan, dissatisfied, stomped her foot, angrily biting her lip before storming off in a huff.

"Yunshan, don’t mind her. We’ve spoiled her too much!" Yu Fengcai’s tone grew more forceful, tinged with more grievance. "We’ve caused you a lot of trouble over the years."

"If this really affects your relationship with Yintong, then I’ll go back to the countryside."

"I really don’t mind. It’s just that Mom… what should we do now?"

She turned her gaze toward the door, "She’s gotten used to living here for so many years. Her relatives and friends all know that her daughter-in-law is virtuous and treats her well."

"And you know, Mom cares a lot about face. If she has to go back to the countryside with me, I’m afraid it will break her heart."

"But here, she doesn’t even have a place to live anymore. I don’t know why Yintong is doing this to us. Is she trying to drive my mother to her death?"

After saying this, she started to sob quietly, feeling deeply wronged.

For decades, she knew Huo Yunshan too well.

You couldn’t force him—soft words were the way to go. And she needed to put the old lady front and center.

This man was extremely filial. He had always obeyed the old lady’s every word since he was a child.

That was also one of the reasons the old lady favored Huo Yunshan over his elder brother.

The other reason, of course, was that Huo Yunhe, the eldest son, wasn’t her biological child.

So when the old lady found out about her relationship with Huo Yunshan, she didn’t hesitate to side with him and help him deal with Huo Yunhe.

After all, Huo Yunshan’s children—Xinglang and Yuyan—were the old lady’s real grandchildren.

Huo Yunshan took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the closed door of the operating room.

After a long pause, he finally spoke, his voice low, "For the next few days, stay here with Mom in the hospital. After she’s discharged, stay in a hotel."
