Chapter 640: Reward for You
To everyone’s surprise, that worker’s wife actually brought all our of their children to the Huo Family’s residence.
The woman was dressed very plainly and her skin was in bad condition. Clearly, she often carried out laborious household chores.
There were four children by her side, three girls and one boy. The boy was obviously the youngest and his clothes were also the cleanest.
The oldest of the other three girls, who were all dressed like country bumpkins, was no older than ten years old.
“Why are all the unruly people allowed in here? What are the guards doing?” Yan Jinyi rebuked coldly.
As soon as that woman saw Yan Jinyi, she leaped over immediately and said, “You’re the Second Young Mistress of the Huo family, aren’t you? You jinx, to think that my husband, Old Chen keeps praising you. Now that he has gotten into an accident at work, you’re not even willing to pay for his medical expenses. Are you trying to get all of us killed?”
She was just like a shrew and she was acting as if she couldn’t wait to perish together with Yan Jinyi.
Yan Jinyi was extremely agile so she managed to dodge quickly. “The wellbeing of your husband is none of my business, the faulty ladder was brought by the renovation company. I ought to cover the medical expenses but why should I also pay for your children’s tuition and your family’s living expenses?”
The woman suddenly sat on her knees and began to wail miserably. “Old Chen is the only breadwinner of our family and our entire family is living on that meager salary of his. Our children’s tuition fees are due next month. Now that Old Chen is injured, the doctor says that he has to be hospitalized and recuperate for at least two months!”
The woman suddenly got on her knees with her children and said, “Two months of recuperation means that Old Chen won’t be drawing a salary for two months. Without any income, how can we pay for their tuition fees and living expenses? I have to pay for my mother-in-law’s medical expenses too. This is all your fault, don’t you think you should be compensating us?”
She had met two incredibly shameless women before. One was her aunt, who was an oddball, and the other was the woman who had tried to cheat Huo Zihang the previous time.
To put it bluntly, they all wanted to extrot money from her.
Yan Jinyi didn’t get angry and instead, chuckled. She reached her hand out to smoothen her long hair, which was draped across her shoulders, and looked down at her from above. “Are you trying to get money from me?”
“You ought to give us the money.”
Yan Jinyi didn’t answer him. Instead, she asked, “How much money do you want?”
Hearing her words, the woman’s eyes lit up. ‘Indeed, wealthy people dread news that are unfavorable to them the most.’
The woman puffed her chest up and said, “One million yuan.”
“One million?” Yan Jinyi raised her eyebrows.
“Don’t tell me you can’t even afford a million yuan. You’re the Second Young Mistress of the Huo family.”
Yan Jinyi said with a radiant smile, “You’re right, I really can’t afford to.”
The woman was stunned.
Yan Jinyi took out a hundred yuan bill and said, “We’ll cover all the medical expenses incurred by your husband, you don’t have to worry. As for the so-called tuition fees and living expenses, I shall reward you with this 100 yuan on the account that your children are so pitiful.”
After saying that, she threw the money in front of her and said, “Zhang Guoquan, send her away.”
The woman felt extremely humiliated. ‘She actually wants to patronize me with 100 yuan. Impossible!’
Seeing that Yan Jinyi was about to leave, she suddenly leaped over and said with a ferocious expression, “I’m going to fight to the death with you. Do you take me for a beggar? We’ve ended up in such a terrible state because of you. If you don’t pay me, I’ll call the police. I want the whole city and the country to know how disgusting you are!”
Zhang Guoquan and the maid were just about to stop her but Yan Jinyi slipped and fell onto the ground.
Her delicate face immediately turned pale and she clutched her chest with one hand while panting heavily. “I… I…”
The woman and her children were startled by her reaction.
Zhang Guoquan was dumbfounded and he frantically called Huo Xishen.
