Chapter 1103 - 1145: Greed

Chapter 1103: Chapter 1145: Greed

"Hmph! I’m his mother-in-law. I don’t believe he can keep me locked up forever!" Ling’s mother arrogantly raised her chin, completely dismissing the police’s words. In her view, Huo Junmo was merely trying to scare her!

Huo Junmo loves Ling Yueyue so much that he surely wishes for Ling Yueyue’s family harmony and happiness. As long as he’s willing to give her ten million, she can treat Ling Yueyue better, pretend to be a kind mother! This way, Ling Yueyue will definitely be very happy! In that case, what’s ten million to him!

She believes Huo Junmo will definitely come back to her, will definitely compromise, will definitely agree!

"Mother-in-law? You’re really flattering yourself! Let me tell you, President Huo’s wife watched you being caught by us with her own eyes. If she really cared about you, do you think you’d still be here? President Huo and his wife are of one mind, and since you don’t know what’s good for you, why should they be polite to you! Just enjoy your old age in prison! Anyway, at your age, the food is good here, you have a place to live, you don’t need to work, and it’s comfortable! But it’s a pity about your two daughters, only in their teens and having to be locked up with you for life! Oh...!" At the end, the policeman deliberately sighed deeply, shaking his head lightly.

"Look at you, this is all your doing! And now look, we not only could have gotten out, but we could have gotten five million! But now! Not only do we have nothing, we’re also going to be locked up for life! Are you satisfied now, happy? I’ve been telling you, don’t be greedy, don’t be greedy, but you wouldn’t stop! Even if they gave us ten million, could we really handle it?" Ling’s father was so angry after hearing they might be in prison for life and implicating their daughters, he couldn’t hold back and unleashed all his grievances.

They didn’t mind being in prison, but were concerned about their little daughter and third son who were in the countryside! They were so young, still in elementary school! Now they were also fostered with relatives!

If they didn’t go back, without living expenses to give to the relatives, who knows how the relatives would treat the little daughter and third son! Would they treat them like they treated Yueyue!

Just thinking about this made his heart ache terribly.

To Ling’s father’s complaints, Ling’s mother raised her chin confidently and said, "Don’t worry, I don’t believe for a moment, that nasty girl and Huo Junmo would really lock us up for life. They are just scaring us! No matter what, we are her birth parents. I carried her for ten months. Would she really just watch us be locked up for life?"

"You...! Don’t you realize what’s really happening? And you can still say such things now, you... you’re just...!" Ling’s father, who was never good with words, found himself at a loss for how to continue.

Yueyue clearly wasn’t their child, yet his wife could always boldly claim she carried her for ten months!

Whenever she said this, he felt so guilty that he didn’t dare to speak!

Not only did they not carry or birth her, they didn’t even raise her! But even so, they continued to act like debt collectors, racking their brains to get money from her!

Compared to Yueyue, they were the ones with no conscience, always coveting things that didn’t belong to them.

He couldn’t even imagine, what if one day, Yueyue found out the truth—how she would react! She might even want to kill them!

Afraid Ling’s father would blurt out the truth in a fit of emotion, Ling’s mother scolded, "Shut up! When I’m talking, it’s not your place to speak! I don’t believe it, I haven’t committed a crime, how could they really lock me up for life!"

"You...!" Ling’s father trembled all over with anger, but he didn’t dare say anything further, only pressing all his anger and dissatisfaction back into his heart.

The two policemen nearby saw Ling’s mother stubbornly dreaming on and were too lazy to waste their breath any longer. They directly took them out of the room and locked them back in the cell!

When their parents returned, the eldest sister and second sister quickly came forward. The eldest asked anxiously, "Dad, Mom, how is it? When will they let us out? When can we go home?"

The second sister, scared, also spoke, "Dad, Mom, I’m scared, I want to go home! Can we go home, please, I don’t like it here!"

Ling’s mother comfortingly patted their hands, smiling as she said, "Don’t be afraid, aren’t Mom and Dad here with you! Don’t worry, just patiently wait a few more days, and soon we will have a lot of money. In the days to come, we will never want for anything again!"

The eldest sister asked incredulously, "Really?"

Ling’s mother nodded confidently and assured, "Of course! Trust Mom, Mom wouldn’t lie to you!"

After hearing Ling’s mother’s words, the eldest and second sisters finally breathed a little easier and weren’t as scared anymore!

But Ling’s father furrowed his brows tightly, speaking with displeasure: "You’re still dreaming! We might as well wait here with you and see if we truly have the fate to have so much money!"

Ling’s mother pulled the eldest and second sisters to sit on the stone bed, confidently stating, "If Huo Junmo hadn’t come to see me today, I might still be worried. But since he came today, I’m not afraid! His visit proves the importance of that nasty girl in his heart! For her sake, he will definitely come to us! As long as he comes back to us, won’t we be able to ask for whatever we want!"

Ling’s father, at the end of his patience, said: "Fine! Go ahead! I’m telling you, if Huo Junmo doesn’t come, don’t regret it! We, being older, it doesn’t matter where we spend our days, but don’t drag the eldest and second sisters down in prison for life! Not to mention the little sister and third brother in the countryside! Even if not for yourself, think about them!"

Seeing Ling’s father’s weak demeanor, Ling’s mother scoffed disdainfully, "Hmph! You’re so spineless; just wait and see how Huo Junmo comes back to beg me!"

"Alas!" Seeing there was no reasoning with Ling’s mother, Ling’s father resignedly sat on one side of the stone bed, sulking with his head down.

After leaving the police station, Huo Junmo went straight back to the company!

When he returned to the company, Ling Yueyue was still asleep on the sofa, sleeping soundly!

After asking Li Na to take the files away, Huo Junmo sat back at his desk and continued working.

Perhaps it was sensing Huo Junmo’s presence, or maybe it was hunger, but shortly after he sat down, Ling Yueyue awoke!

Noticing the movement from the sofa, Huo Junmo looked up at Ling Yueyue, seeing her lift her head and blink sleepily at him. Unable to help himself, he smiled and softly asked, "Awake? Did you sleep well? Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
