Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Hearing Wen Ru’s voice, Che Huan froze there.

Wen Ru moved her arm, reaching for the remote control, and with effort, she lifted her arm to turn on the light, looking towards the helpless-looking Che Huan.

”Mom...”

Che Huan looked at Wen Ru, not knowing what to say for a moment. The emotions on her face were too late to hide, all exposed under the light, almost translucent.

Wen Ru raised her hand, tenderly touching Che Huan’s cheek, her fingers slowly sliding.

Che Huan sat there stiffly, forgetting to react. Since she could remember, her mother had never been so affectionate.

It was like a dream! Only, the real warmth on her cheek reminded her this was not a dream, but reality!

Wen Ru looked at Che Huan, her gaze fluctuating, and after a while, she swallowed with difficulty and asked calmly, pausing between words, ”Huanhuan, what happened?”

Che Huan bit her lip, ”This afternoon, a nurse showed me your morning’s test report, with a slip of paper inside. It only had one sentence, ’To get a matching heart for Auntie Zhong, call the following number.’”

Listening, Wen Ru understood what had happened. She lay rigid on the hospital bed, a cold laugh escaped her heart, her body suddenly felt icy, and her breathing turned heavy.

It was the Huo Family, wasn’t it?

Just as I thought, how could they easily let the Wen Family marry into the Huo Family!

I just hadn’t expected the Huo Family to treat Xiaoqin like that, for Huo Qichang to betray Xiaoqin so! No wonder Xiaoqin had lived poorly these years.

Using a heart as a bargaining chip?

Such a truly vicious heart! Huanhuan is still young, and if she were confused for a moment, even if she ended up with Anan, if something accidental happened to Xiaoqin, ultimately, it would be an irreparable rift between them, and they would part on bad terms.

So many years have passed, and this Hong Kong is no longer a place where some people can call the shots like they used to. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have to use such means to force Huanhuan away!

Thinking of this, she hid too many emotions in her eyes for a moment and then gradually calmed down, looking at Che Huan, ”Don’t tell Anan about this for now. Just call and ask.”

Che Huan acknowledged with a sound, biting her lip.

The next day, after making the call and arriving at the meeting place, seeing Fang Tong and Qin Mochuan, she wasn’t much surprised. Presumably, according to their plan, when the waiter took her to change clothes yesterday, someone would have talked to her about today’s topic. Only, the situation had changed, and they had switched tactics.

Qin Mochuan looked at Che Huan, ”Take a seat.”

Che Huan smiled and sat down directly, ”I had originally agreed to invite Third Uncle together with Jinnan, but I didn’t expect Third Uncle to end up paying after all.”

Qin Mochuan looked at Che Huan, not expecting she could still smile at such a time, ”I won’t beat around the bush. You are well aware of Anan’s mother’s situation. After one night, you should have carefully considered it, right?”

Che Huan hummed in response.

Qin Mochuan waited for a long time but didn’t hear anything further, which surprised him a bit, ”Just name your price.”

Che Huan smiled sweetly, ”Aren’t you afraid I’ll ask for a billion, Third Uncle?”

Qin Mochuan laughed as if he’d heard a joke, ”Those who are greedy will end up with nothing in the end.”

”That sounds quite reasonable. I think so too,” Che Huan said, relaxing her eyebrows and smiling at Qin Mochuan.

Qin Mochuan realized what she meant, his face showing a hint of annoyance, ”Ignorant of the ways of the world. I had intended to give you a few hundred thousand, to cover your mother’s medical expenses, but now it seems, I need not bother with such generosity.”

”So, Third Uncle, you’re so kind-hearted,” Che Huan smiled sweetly, sitting quietly. Having experienced so much, she was no longer the naive little rabbit that could easily be taken advantage of.
