250 I Don’t Need a Mother
He Yeli looked at Luo Qionglan who was covered in mud and blood. She felt nauseated. “Dad, what happened?”
“Hmph! It’s all because of your uncle and cousin! Luo Shijie had actually sent Luo Xinrui to steal the He Group’s secrets. Your mother’s mind is even more muddled. She’s even talking nonsense to me.” In front of his daughter, He Qiu Shan still wanted to save some face, so he did not bring up the matter between him and Luo Xinrui. Instead, he pushed all the blame onto Luo Xinrui.
Anyway, He Qiu Shan didn’t do anything immoral. He just played chess with Luo Xinrui. Of course, he would never admit it in front of his daughter. After all, this was the dignity of a father.
“Mom, why are you like this again?” He Yeli naturally thought that the Luo family had already sent people to harm the He family. Moreover, her mother was speaking up for that group of people. For so many years, the Luo family had been like leeches, sucking blood from the He family every day.
That uncle was even more annoying. He Yeli had heard him ask Luo Xinrui to dress up more than once, and he would pay for dinner with her. Although he didn’t say it clearly, He Yeli knew what his purpose was. She was not a 3-year-old child.
In addition, Luo Qionglan often asked her to go on blind dates, mainly to see if the other party was wealthy or not. This made He Yeli feel that Luo Qionglan was the same as Luo Shijie. They were the kind of people who would sell their daughter for glory.
This time, it was also based on her first impression. He Yeli naturally thought that it was Luo Qionglan’s fault.
Although Luo Qionglan was furious, this was not the time for her to throw a tantrum. She knelt on the ground and admitted her mistake.
“I was wrong. I was possessed, and I was spouting nonsense. From today onwards, I will have nothing to do with the Luo family.”
He Qiu Shan was in disbelief since Luo Qionglan did not argue with him or bring up Luo Xinrui. This was really…surprising.
“I’m telling you, you don’t have to use this to trick me. I definitely won’t interfere in the Luo family’s matter this time. I won’t speak up for your family.” He Qiu Shan was no fool. He was already busy with his own affairs. How could he possibly clean up the mess for the Luo family?
Moreover, he had just checked the accounts with the servant and realized that he was actually penniless. The main reason was that Luo Qionglan and He Yeli’s expenses were particularly extravagant. They spent money without any care. The cards were maxed out. The bills would only be paid by the He family at the end of the year.
He Qiu Shan would not have known if he did not calculate the amount, but once he did, he was shocked.
Luo Qionglan alone could spend tens of millions a year. Together with He Yeli, the total was over a hundred million. This didn’t even include the things that he usually solved for Luo Shijie and the others.
In the past, when had He Qiu Shan ever been in such a difficult situation with Emmanuelle around? He had never dealt with such a mess before!
He had only thought that Luo Qionglan was good at coaxing people, and he was also happy about it. That was why he had half-heartedly brought her back.
However, He Qiu Shan had not expected Luo Qionglan to spend so much money. She had spent hundreds of millions a year.
How much money had he spent on her for more than 20 years? How could she, Luo Qionglan, be worth so much money?
The more He Qiu Shan thought about it, the more he felt that he was losing money. If he had the money, he would have bought a sports car that he liked. He kicked Luo Qionglan away in disgust.
“Don’t talk to me about our marriage. We have long lost our affection for each other. If it wasn’t for Yeli, I wouldn’t have let you in!”
“Honey, you can’t do this to me. I’ve been with you for more than 20 years. Please don’t drive me away, for the sake of our daughter. I don’t want to be separated from you…” Luo Qionglan was flustered. She could not care less about how He Qiu Shan was humiliating her. She had a feeling that if she did not grab this opportunity, He Qiu Shan would really chase her away. She could not divorce He Qiu Shan. Without the He family, she would really have nothing left.
“I’ve already done my best for you. Without a mother like you, Yeli would have grown up better. Do you think I don’t know that you’re secretly introducing men to Ye Li? Let me tell you, in the entire city, who is worthy of my daughter? In the end, it’s all because of a short-sighted mother like you! That’s why Yeli isn’t happy. She’s been smiling less recently!” He Qiu Shan had watched He Yeli grow up. He had noticed that his daughter had been acting strange recently. Besides, he knew that it was all because of Luo Qionglan.
“Dad…” He Yeli’s eyes turned red. She didn’t expect her father to care so much about her. He loved her. Hence, she liked her father more than her mother.
“Honey, no! A daughter needs her mother! Yeli, tell your father quickly. Tell him that you need your mother to be by your side…” Luo Qionglan panicked and turned around to pull He Yeli’s skirt.
