Suddenly, he was paralyzed with fear, his stick frozen in mid-air, unable to move.
Dongfang Yu coldly broke the silence, âUncle, I have been showing you respect only because of my grandfather and Xiaotangâs considerations! Do not overstep your bounds! And you better be aware, Hai Xiaotang is my wife, laying a hand on her means provoking me! If you dare to lay a hand on her again, do not expect me to be polite!â
Hai Rong was stunned: ââ¦..â
Actually, Dongfang Yuâs impolite words should have enraged him more and even taught him a lesson as well.
But⦠Dongfang Yuâs aura was stronger than his.
In fact, he was so overwhelmed that he couldnât resist even if he wanted to, and he began to sweat nervously.
Even Zhan Yu couldnât raise a word because of his intimidating presence.
However, Hai Xiaotang was in shock as she stared at Dongfang Yu, like a chord in her heart had been inadvertently plucked.
Even though Hai Rong felt guilty, he was quick to regain his composure!
âDongfang Yu, youâre right, Hai Xiaotang is your wife, and I will not reprimand her! But she has no right to interfere in the affairs of the Hai family, and neither do you! You both should leave, you are not welcome here!â
Zhan Yu also recovered her senses, âThatâs right, this is our Hai familyâs matter. Whether we sell the house or not, it is up to us. Dongfang Yu, you better take Hai Xiaotang away and not meddle in our affairs!â
Hai Xiaotang stepped forward, âIâm not leaving, I wonât let you sell grandfatherâs house!â
âHai Xiaotang, youâ¦.â Hai Rong was about to scold her when he was interrupted by Dongfang Yu.
âHow much?â He asked gravely, âI would like to buy this house!â
All three were taken aback.
Hai Xiaotang immediately retorted, âNo, you canât buy it!â
Even though she understood his intentions, that he wanted to buy the house to preserve it, there was no need for him to buy it.
âDongfang Yu, you donât have to do this, and thereâs no need to give them any money. They do not have any rights to sell grandfatherâs house.â
Dongfang Yu didnât pay attention to her words, he kept his eyes on Hai Rong, âHow much are you planning to sell the house for?â
Almost without thinking, Hai Rong replied: â500 millionâ¦â
âIâll give you 600 million, sell me.â
âDongfang Yu!â Hai Xiaotang frowned in disagreement, âIâve said, you shouldnât buy, canât you understand?â
The man cast her a sidelong glance, saying in a low voice, âRelax, I know what Iâm doing. You donât need to worry.â
But, could she really not be worried?
The house was not supposed to be sold in the first place, and it was unnecessary for him to waste money on buying it.
Did he not know that once her uncle and the others got the money, they would pocket it for themselves?
Dongfang Yu looked at Hai Rong again, âUncle, 600 million should be more than enough, right?â
Hai Rongâs face stiffened, there was a conflict in his eyes.
Zhan Yuâs face was also ugly, as if she had missed out on a huge fortune.
Seeing their reaction, Dongfang Yuâs face turned stern, âDonât tell me, youâve already sold it?â
Hai Xiaotang immediately became anxious!
Hai Rong looked distressed, âYes, itâs already sold!â
âUncle, youâve gone too farâ¦â Hai Xiaotang yelled out loud, tears instantly streaming down her face.
This was her grandfatherâs house, the home where he planned to spend his life.
And he just⦠sold itâ¦
A sudden wave of sorrow washed over Hai Xiaotang, so overwhelming that she couldnât control her tears.
âUncle, you need to return the money and take back the house! This house cannot be sold! Get grandfatherâs house back!â
