Chapter 185: What Is Shame?

Chen Yulian glared at Yan Jinyi with great animosity. “Yan Jinyi, have you got any shame at all?”

Yan Jinyi retorted indifferently, “What’s that? Will it make me rich? Can I eat it or play with it?”

“You…”

“What? You’re just a fool, how dare you borrow money from me? You must still be dreaming, huh?”

Boiling with fury, Chen Yulian breathed heavily and her chest heaved up and down. “Don’t go too far, you only managed to marry into the Huo Family because of the agreement between your grandfather and Old Master Huo. Otherwise, you won’t even be qualified to marry him!”

Yan Jinyi continued to sip on red wine, completely ignoring Chen Yulian’s presence.

“Yan Jinyi, don’t be too smug. Plenty of women throw themselves at outstanding men like Mr. Huo. Hah, I know very clearly that Mr. Huo doesn’t acknowledge you as his wife at all. Otherwise, why would he make you stay in the storeroom?”

“So?”

“I’m your aunt, as long as I slander you in front of Mr. Huo, don’t you think he’ll detest you even more?”

‘How dare she threaten me.’n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Go ahead then.”

“You… Aren’t you scared of being kicked out of the Huo Family?”

‘I’d be more than happy to! As long as I’m given money, I can pack my bags and leave overnight.’

Chen Yulian discovered that Yan Jinyi was simply a tough nut to crack.

‘When did this little b*tch become so difficult to deal with? I can’t convince her at all.’

“Are you really not going to lend us any money?”

Yan Jinyi was getting annoyed. “No.”

“You…”

As soon as she was about to say something, the eagle-eyed Chen Yulian saw a few rich men’s wives walking over and quickly smacked her knees before falling onto the ground abruptly. “What sin have I committed!? Even if you don’t wish to help me, you don’t have to push me. I’m your aunt after all, I used to keep you company and comfort you all day after your parents’ death…”

The few wives of rich men were initially exploring the Huo Family residence out of curiosity and happened to stumble upon Yan Jinyi’s dispute with Chen Yulian.

They hesitated for a moment when they saw it.

“We’d better go over and take a look!”

“Yeah, let’s go and see.”

As they got nearer, Chen Yulian’s crying got louder.

“Oh dear, my back, I can’t straighten my back anymore. Jinyi, you know very well that I’ve just had a surgery for my back, how could you push me with so much force? I know you want to sever ties with me after marrying into the Huo family because we’re just ordinary people who are not worthy of rich families like yours, but… your cousin’s school fees have been overdue for a long time. Coming to borrow money from you is my last resort…”

While Chen Yulian was crying her heart out, Yan Jinyi remained seated, completely oblivious to her behavior.

The wives of rich men immediately figured out that Yan Jinyi must have despised her family after marrying a rich husband.

They detested such people.

‘She even openly tried to seduce Mr. Tang in front of her husband, Mr. Huo. How shameless!’

“Hey, what’s going on?”

“I happened to hear that this lady here is Second Young Mistress Huo’s aunt. Why is she bullying her aunt?”

“She probably refuses to admit that she’s a commoner, right?”

“You have to accept reality and accept the family that you’re born into. Anyway, you can’t change the fact that you used to be a wild brat, can you?” One of the rich men’s wife, who was clearly younger than the others, sized Yan Jinyi up with contempt and mocked her.
