However, she hadn’t expected Huo Jincheng to say, "This is your home too. Don’t forget, you are the mistress here. You can do whatever you want."
Lu Xingzhi felt he missed the point, but she still followed up, "What if I want to tear it down and rebuild it?"
"Then just tear it down!" Huo Jincheng said indifferently.
"Uncle, did you not hear what I just said? I said that Shen Xinzhu came by today." Lu Xingzhi repeated seriously, not intending to tattle.
She felt that this issue was stirred up by Huo Jincheng.
He is the root cause, so he must be made aware of it.
"Did she bully you? Say anything to make you unhappy?" Huo Jincheng recalled Lu Xingzhi not coming down for lunch today, perhaps this was the reason.
"No, actually, she said something that made me happy."
"Oh?" Huo Jincheng’s tone lifted lightly, "What did she say?"
"She offered me money to leave you. Five million!" Lu Xingzhi’s expression was vivid, her eyes sparkling brilliantly.
Huo Jincheng’s hand itched a bit, unable to resist pinching her little face again, "What did you say?"
"Unfortunately, I thought it wasn’t enough, so I didn’t take it. I told her that the position of your wife is worth much more than five million. I also said her pride was useless, the one with the engagement is still me. She seemed very angry, probably stormed off in the end."
"You did the right thing." Huo Jincheng gave her an approving look, then said, "Next time she comes again, you can have the security guard stop her, don’t open the door for her."
"You really are getting old." Lu Xingzhi doubted whether Huo Jincheng had heard her clearly; she said she was doing it for his money.
Huo Jincheng: "......"
What does this have to do with his age?
Twenty-seven, totally the golden age for a man, how did he suddenly become an old man in Lu Xingzhi’s eyes.
"Uncle, good night." Lu Xingzhi directly shut the room door.
She had actually been thinking just now, what if Huo Jincheng got angry and said to her, "I’ll give you ten million, let’s end the engagement!"
Lu Xingzhi felt quite disappointed.
Huo Jincheng shook his head helplessly; indeed, he couldn’t fathom the thoughts of a young girl?
Why did it seem like his little girl was angry?
Meanwhile, Helian Yi caught up with Shen Xinzhu.
"Sister Xinzhi, don’t be upset, Xiao Xi’s way of speaking has always been like that. Even our parents can’t control her, don’t take it to heart." Helian Yi didn’t really know how to comfort people, but after all, Helian Xi was his sister.
No matter what, she was still his sister.
Couldn’t really discipline her.
"Why would I argue with her! It’s me who overreached, thinking I could win your uncle and aunt’s approval, to be accepted by your family. I overthought it. Little Yi, let’s try to avoid contact in the future. I..."
"Sister Xinzhi, what are you saying? Our parents treat you as their own daughter. Don’t take Xiao Xi’s words to heart. Please don’t cry!" Helian Yi fretted, grabbing his hair.
"Little Yi, I feel that my life is a failure. Xiao Xi doesn’t like me, Brother San doesn’t like me either. But I really like Brother San, yet why does even Lu Xingzhi have to bully me? Clearly she’s the same as me..."
"Sister Xinzhi, don’t cry. I’ll make sure to teach Lu Xingzhi a proper lesson for you."
