Chapter 153: Wanting to Pay Her Off
Luo Mei’s face turned pale with anger, her eyes filled with resentment. Seeing that no one spoke up for her, she had no choice but to sit down dejectedly and bitterly take a sip of her drink.
Though Mrs. Huo was elderly, her mind was still sharp. She understood her younger grandson’s character well, but she secretly doted on him.
No matter how many women Huo Qinglin had been with, Mrs. Huo only cared about her grandson’s happiness and joy. She certainly wouldn’t stand up for those outsiders.
Banxia noticed that her words had choked Luo Mei and sneered coldly in her heart.
She thought, Luo Mei knows better than anyone what kind of person her son is, so now, she’s speechless.
"I don’t care if you broke up with Qinglin, but why would you start seducing my eldest grandson, Yan Ting? What exactly is your goal? What are you after?" Mrs. Huo’s purpose today was clear—she wanted to humiliate Banxia, forcing her to retreat and take the money and leave.
Banxia understood Mrs. Huo’s motive. If she really was after money and had latched onto Yan Ting just for that, she wouldn’t have been acting so genuine and heartfelt in her manner.
Mrs. Huo thought she could settle this by tossing money at her, but Banxia wouldn’t agree to that.
The Huo Family was already planning to destroy her pear garden. To protect its safety, she was willing to go all out and fight.
"Grandma, you’ve truly misunderstood me. Yan Ting and I are in true love. I’m not with him for money," Banxia said, genuinely fearful that her words might result in getting hit, but she had to speak—she had to lean hard into the idea of true love.
True love could overcome everything—unless her pear garden was left unharmed.
Mrs. Huo was provoked by her words and slammed the table heavily, pointing at her face and roaring, "Don’t be so shameless! Don’t you dare throw ’true love’ in my face here. I’ve seen plenty of women like you who are greedy for status and power. You’d better name your price, or you won’t get out of this door!"
