Li Ankang’s voice was full of eagerness and that seemed to really be the case.
“Son, where am I supposed to find a million yuan for you now? It’s not a small amount!”
“You can go to my cousin, she is now Second Young Mistress Huo, she can easily afford a million yuan!”
Zhao Xinchen subconsciously looked at Yan Jinyi.
Yan Jinyi’s face was extremely austere, and she was glaring at Li Ankang.
‘I can easily afford a million yuan? Damn, if I’m that rich, why would I continue staying in the Huo Family and allow myself to be mistreated? I’d get a young hunk to be my boy toy!’
Sensing the gloomy aura that was suddenly emanated from Yan Jinyi’s body, Huo Qingyuan subconsciously moved towards the side.
“That little b*tch Yan Jinyi doesn’t acknowledge her relatives at all. She actually had the guts to chase me out. How can we get money from her?”
‘How dare she call Sister Jinyi a b*tch? Outrageous!’
Zhao Xinchen felt that he could not let Li Ankang off so easily.
He picked up the fruit knife on the table and waved it in front of Li Ankang. Li Ankang’s back stiffened and he didn’t even dare to move around a bit.
“Son, go talk to your teacher and ask for some leeway. We will pay in two days!”
Hearing her words, Li Ankang lost his temper. “At the end of the day, you’re just unwilling to pay, right? Don’t think I don’t know you secretly sold the bracelet that the Huo Family gave to Jinyi. You also cheated money from her previously, how could you not have a million yuan?”
‘Bracelet? When did the Huo family give me a bracelet?’
Seeing the puzzled expression on Yan Jinyi’s face, Huo Qingyuan explained softly, “Second Sister-in-law, it’s true, Grandpa gave you a wooden box after you and Second Brother registered your marriage. That box contains a jade bracelet which is an heirloom passed down from Grandpa and Grandma. It has a heritage of hundreds of years and it’s of superior quality. It’s definitely worth millions.”
‘Damn it! I remember it now!’
At that time, the former Yan Jinyi registered her marriage with the accompaniment of Chen Yulian who snatched the bracelet away from her before she even got a chance to see it. Chen Yulian said that she would safeguard it for her, but she forgot about it in the end!
‘Chen Yulian pocketed a million-dollar bracelet just like that!?!’
Yan Jinyi’s eyes were burning with fury. ‘Outrageous!”
‘If I don’t beat Chen Yulian up, I won’t be a bandit anymore!’
“That bracelet belongs to your cousin, how can I touch it?”
Li Ankang sneered, “Mother, do you really think I’m a fool? Didn’t you secretly contact the antique hobbyist to sell the bracelet at a discounted price long ago?”
Obviously a little flustered, Chen Yulian asked, “What are you talking about?”
“I saw it with my own eyes. I am your only son. The quality of your life in the future depends on whether I can make a name for myself. I just need a mere one million. When I start my internship in half a year, it will be easy for me to earn it.”
Yan Jinyi couldn’t help but reach out to grab the cellphone, but fortunately, Huo Qingyuan stopped her.
Finally, Chen Yulian relented and transferred one million yuan to the account number provided by Li Ankang.
“Son, I’m doing all this for your sake. Study hard, I’m waiting for you to make a name for yourself!”
Li Ankang was not the least bit ashamed of deceiving his mother as he directly hung up.
He immediately smiled like a fool and looked at Zhao Xinchen. “Young Master Zhao, the one million yuan has been credited. Can you let me off now?”
Looking at the notification of the deposit, Zhao Xinchen asked, “Not bad, how do you plan to explain to your mother?”
“Hehe, I’ll just say that I got cheated out of my money. The Huo family is so rich, I’ll just ask my mother to visit them and get the money back.”
‘Fool, that million yuan was derived from the sale of the bracelet that your mother cheated Sister Jinyi of!’
