Ye Yao gave up. “Anyway, I definitely won’t break up with Huo Buyu for less than 100 million yuan. Old Master, take your time to think about it.”
Old Master Huo sneered. “Girl, you’re very bold.”
At this point, the door flew open. Huo Buyu entered with a darkened expression and walked to Ye Yao’s side, shielding her behind him.
When Ye Yao saw this, her eyes lit up. This was what a television drama should be like! She immediately hugged Huo Buyu’s arm and cried, “Huo Buyu, your grandfather gave me money to leave you. But don’t worry, I rejected him. How could I leave you for money? I didn’t agree!’
Old Master Huo sneered at Ye Yao’s performance. Then, he took out a pen from his pocket. There was a button on it, and he pressed it.
Ye Yao immediately understood. This was a recording pen!
The recording pen clearly recorded the scene of Ye Yao bargaining with Old Master Huo. When Huo Buyu heard this, his face darkened, and Ye Yao trembled next to him. She grabbed Huo Buyu’s arm and begged, “Huo Buyu, it’s not like that. I only said that on purpose because your grandfather doesn’t like me. Even if he were to give me a hundred million yuan, I won’t leave you.”
Huo Buyu turned around and glared at Ye Yao. “You won’t leave me even if I were to give you 100 million yuan?” From Ye Yao’s tone in the recording, she sounded quite disappointed when she first found out that his grandfather was giving her only a million yuan! Actually, Huo Buyu didn’t expect his grandfather to offer one million yuan. He didn’t know if the old master looked down on him or Ye Yao. It was a little embarrassing for him to be offering her one million yuan.
Ye Yao’s tears fell. Then, she let go of Huo Buyu’s hand in a panic. “I know it’s useless no matter what I say now. You definitely won’t believe me anymore. Besides, your grandfather doesn’t like me either. Why don’t we stop here? I
don’t want a single cent from you!’
With that, Ye Yao pushed Huo Buyu away and ran out crying. Huo Buyu watched her leaving, he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Old Master Huo sneered at Huo Buyu. “Look, this is the woman you love. She asked for 100 million yuan. She’s quite ambitious.”
Huo Buyu lowered his head and was silent. After a long time, he said,
‘Grandpa, you only offered a million. It’s really too little.”
Old Master Huo revealed a sly smile. “Now, I don’t even have to spend a hundred yuan to help you get rid of an insatiable woman. The next time you go looking for a woman for yourself, keep your eyes open.” With that, Old Master Huo stood up and left, shrouded by his domineering aura.
If Ye Yao heard this, she would definitely think that Huo Buyu’s pettiness must have been genetically inherited! When Old Master Huo reached the door, he stopped and turned to Huo Buyu. “It doesn’t matter if you fall in love or sleep with a woman, but you should know that your marriage must be well-matched. She must not be a shady woman. Stop for the time being. I’ll make arrangements for you.”
Huo Buyu didn’t say anything. There was obvious forbearance on his face.
After Old Master Huo left, Huo Buyu immediately took out his phone and called Ye Yao. “Where are you?
Ye Yao was crying on the phone. “We’ve already broken up. Why do you care and why do you call me? What do you want me to do? You clearly know that I can’t let go of you, but you continued to give me hope. Boohoo…”
Huo Buyu listened to Ye Yao’s crying. If he didn’t know that she was a heartless person, he might have really believed her. Her acting was quite convincing at times.
Huo Buyu said in a gruff voice, “Speak properly!’
Ye Yao immediately adjusted her tone. “I’m eating with Gao Qiao!”
At this moment, Ye Yao was telling Gao Qiao that Huo Buyu’s grandfather had offered her a million yuan to leave Huo Buyu. Gao Qiao was puzzled. “Couldn’t you have just used the Verbal Virtuosity technique to get Huo Buyu’s grandfather to agree to your relationship?”
Ye Yao shook her head. She felt that since Gao Qiao knew about her ability, it was fine to tell him everything. Hence, she told Gao Qiao about how her Verbal Virtuosity technique did not work on Huo Buyu’s grandfather.
Gao Qiao was stunned. “Is it that powerful? There’s actually a spirit weapon? It can even block your Verbal Virtuosity technique?
Ye Yao spread her hands, indicating that this was something she just found out.
After a while, Huo Buyu came over and happened to hear them muttering. He said to Gao Qiao, “It’s not as mysterious as Ye Yao said. I’ve seen my grandfather’s jade ring. It’s actually a relatively expensive piece of jade. There’s nothing special about it.”
