Chapter 186 - I’m Too Poor
“Exactly, Second Young Mistress Huo has gone overboard. She’s a complete ingrate.”
Seeing that the rich men’s wives were all standing on her side, Chen Yulian began to force herself to cry. “Ah, her grandfather had his reason not to tell her about the engagement agreement with the Huo Family. I decided to tell Jinyi about it, only because I felt sorry for her for losing her parents and getting blamed. She was too pitiful, I…”
‘So her aunt helped her marry Mr. Huo!’
‘This woman is too unconscionable.’
As the commotion got louder, more and more people started surrounding them.
“Jinyi, I really just need to borrow a few hundred thousand yuan. No matter how poor I am, I can’t sacrifice my son’s education. After we receive the money for your uncle’s sale of goods, I’ll return the money to you. Jinyi, will you please help your cousin?”
Chen Yulian was bawling miserably at the top of her lungs.
Finally, Yan Jinyi could no longer stand it as she stood up abruptly and said, “That’s the son you had with your former husband. If you want money, go to your former husband. Stop kicking up a fuss and crying here.”
“Second Young Mistress Huo, you’re being too overbearing. He might be her former husband’s son, but he’s a human too.”
“Exactly. Besides, your aunt was the reason you could marry Mr. Huo. It’s reasonable for you to give that money to her.”
‘Gossip mongers of this era are more detestable than those of ancient times.’
Yan Jinyi frowned and glared daggers at the people. “Shut up immediately if you don’t want to be chased out.”
“Who are you to chase us away? We are Old Master Huo’s guests.”
“Exactly, no wonder you don’t have a status in the Huo Family. You can’t hold a candle to your older sister-in-law at all.”
Clenching her fists and twisting her neck, Yan Jinyi said with a straight face, “You have three seconds to apologize.”
“It’s your fault in the first place. Why should we apologize…”
Before she finished, they heard a loud sound.
It was a woman shrieking in pain.
Chen Yulian covered her face in disbelief and glared at Yan Jinyi. “How dare you hit me?”
Yan Jinyi looked as if she was saying, “What can you do to me?”
‘This little b*tch.’ Chen Yulian looked at the rich men’s wives pleadingly.
All of a sudden, an austere voice sounded. “What are you people doing? Who is this woman?”
Huo Xian walked over slowly while Shen Yan and Huo Qingyuan held onto him.
On the other hand, a bunch of bigwigs were following behind the three Huo brothers.
Even Tang Qing was present.
“Old Master Huo, please help our family.”
Chen Yulian suddenly leaped over and knelt down in front of Huo Xian.
Huo Chengyu subconsciously shielded Huo Xian. “Who are you?”
Chen Yulian stopped yelling and said, “I’m Yan Jinyi’s aunt. Jinyi’s cousin, who is also my son, is planning to go abroad to further his studies, but we spent all that we had on my husband’s goods for his business so we don’t have any liquid funds now. Hence, I decided to ask Jinyi for a loan. I know we ordinary people can’t be compared to rich families like yours, but I have no choice except to do this because of my son’s future…”
Everyone looked enlightened. ‘They got into a fight because Yan Jinyi doesn’t want to lend her any money?’
Yan Jinyi glanced at Chen Yulian with disgust. “The son you had with your former husband has nothing to do with me. Why are you coming to me for a loan? Those of you who are rich enough can lend her money as you please.”
