Chapter 229: Chapter 229: You’re Obviously Courting Death
Yan Jinyi was displeased.
“Are you as important as money? Who are you? You are just the woman my uncle remarried to. To put it bluntly, you’re a mistress! Why should I respect a mistress, especially since your son belongs to your former husband? He isn’t even related to my uncle, let alone me!”
Huo Qingyuan secretly laughed at Chen Yulian.
‘She deserves it. She dug her own grave.’
‘Of all things, she had to covet Second Sister-in-law’s money! Isn’t that courting death?’
Yan Jinyi pushed her sunglasses downwards and shot Huo Qingyuan a glance. Huo Qingyuan immediately understood.
Next, it was her turn to perform!
Huo Qingyuan was the epitome of a spoiled heiress.
With her arms folded, she looked at Chen Yulian contemptuously and frowned a little, clearly in disdain towards her. “You are worth nothing. Who are you to bargain with Second Sister-in-law? You’re just a hillbilly who hasn’t seen much of this world. You’re disgusting and you like taking advantage of others. You must have gotten greedy when you saw how valuable my second sister-in-law’s bracelet is!”
Chen Yulian had seen Huo Qingyuan before so she naturally knew who she was.
She knew that she could not offend Huo Qingyuan so she dared not voice her anger. “I… I was just doing it for my son’s future, I…”
“Shut up, did I say that you can speak? For the sake of your son’s future? Your son tried to flirt with my best friend and ended up breaking the watch of the heir of Hengyuan Real Estate when he vied with him for my best friend!”
At this point, Huo Qingyuan paused and sized Chen Yulian up. “Do you know how much that watch cost? I’m afraid your net worth is only a fraction of that price. That one million yuan was clearly for Mr. Zhao as compensation for the watch. How could you have the cheek to say it is for your son’s tuition fees?”
Sensing the gazes cast at her, Chen Yulian’s face was flushed.
There were a few wealthy women in the estate who tried to get close to her.
Some even tried to befriend and suck up to her because they thought that her niece was Second Young Mistress Huo.
At this moment, those people were looking at her with disgust.
“Miss Huo, I…”
“That money was clearly compensation to the Zhao family, you actually said it was for your son’s tuition fees. The police are here, how dare you lie?”
Yan Jinyi chimed in, “I didn’t expect that you’d ignore our hardworking police officers who toil to serve the nation. Aunt, you’re very gutsy, huh?”
‘This *itch Yan Jinyi!’
Chen Yulian knew that if she did not return the money today, she would really go to jail.
Gritting her teeth, she turned around and took out the title deed of the new house. “Second Young Mistress Huo, I’ll use this house as collateral. Although it is a second-tier property, it is also worth a million yuan.”
Yan Jinyi glanced at the title deed and humphed coldly, hinting for the lawyer to settle the procedures.
She had already incurred a huge loss from the business and even lost money because of her useless son who cheated her of her money. Chen Yulian was truly bankrupt and had nothing to her name except that house now.
Now, she was about to lose her old residence too.
‘How will the neighbors see me after what happened today?’
Not only did Yan Jinyi gain another million yuan without any effort, she even got a house.
For the next few days, she was in high spirits.
For the sake of pleasing Yan Jinyi, Huo Zihang redeemed the bracelet for her with his own money.
“Second Sister-in-law, filming for the new drama will officially begin next week. The company has taken on a job for a magazine shoot on your behalf. The photoshoot will take place in America!”
