Chapter 1139: Rage

Chapter 1139 -1181: Rage

He originally didn’t plan to reveal this matter, intending to keep it hidden deep in his heart forever!

Because he knew that if he disclosed this matter, his malicious stepmother would surely be very hurt! Because she would feel inferior due to having such a father and mother!

So, after overhearing their conversation last time, he kept the matter to himself for five months! If it weren’t for Grand Aunt bringing it up today, he wouldn’t have exposed their crimes! He just wanted Grand Aunt to know what kind of people Tiantian’s grandparents really were! Even worse than her own grandparents, truly detestable.

After hearing Huo Jiantian’s words, Ling Shenglan became immediately agitated, “Why help them, on what grounds? Giving them a million, why would you give it, how dare they ask? And with such a sense of entitlement that you are supposed to give!”

Ling Yueyue was initially very angry, but seeing that Ling Shenglan was even angrier and more agitated than herself, she looked at her in puzzlement, her eyes filled with confusion.

After hearing Huo Jiantian’s words, she was very angry, extremely angry. Her anger stemmed from Huo Junmo hiding from her that he gave money to her parents, and such a large sum at that! And she’d been kept in the dark for so long! She was also angry at how her parents could be like this, how they could demand money from Huo Junmo, what right did they have?

But she never expected that she had a reason to be angry, so why was Aunt also so angry? What was the reason for her anger?

In her memory, Aunt and Mother didn’t get along well, but Aunt always had a good relationship with Father, so why would she say something like this today!

Feeling Ling Yueyue’s puzzled gaze, Ling Shenglan’s anger not only didn’t subside, it grew even stronger, “Yueyue, listen to Auntie, although they are your parents, they have never fulfilled a single day of responsibility! From the day you were born, you lived with me, and after I went abroad, you were on your own working and earning money, they have never given you any love or care, so they don’t deserve your kindness!”

She was very angry, truly very angry; after hearing Huo Jiantian’s words, anger surged over her like a wave!

She never expected that her brother and sister-in-law not only embezzled the money she sent for Yueyue’s upkeep, asked for living expenses from Yueyue every month, but shamelessly demanded money from Huo Junmo as well!

What right do they have?

Did they give birth to Yueyue? Or raised her? How could they be so shameless! Even their granddaughter Tiantian they treat this way! Simply inhumane.

If she could, she’d really want to tell Yueyue the whole truth now, but after telling her, she feared Yueyue couldn’t handle the blow and might resent her!

If she had known things would turn out like this, she shouldn’t have put Yueyue’s household under their name back then for the sake of her own reputation, resulting in such a situation now.

Ling Yueyue nodded in agreement, “I know, so within myself, I’ve already cut ties with them, and I don’t intend to get involved with their affairs! As for the full moon banquet they mentioned for Tiantian, asking the four eldest to transfer to the city for school, I’ve decisively refused! And I don’t intend to help them!”

Ling Shenglan indignantly said, “But, Junmo’s one million cannot be given to them for nothing; they have absolutely no right to take that money, why should they easily profit from it! You must resolutely get it back from them!”

Upon hearing this, Huo Junmo glanced at her imperceptibly, a complex and obscure light flashing in his deep eyes.

Ling Yueyue frowned, glaring at Huo Junmo in blame, and said helplessly, “I also don’t want them to get away with so much money! But, you know my mom too, she loves money like it’s her life; once money goes into her pocket, don’t think she’ll give it back! So no matter what we do, the money won’t come back!”

Ling Shenglan instantly replied without thinking, “Sue them, go through legal proceedings! I know your mother well; she bullies the weak while fearing the strong; once you get tough, she will back down immediately! So, sue them, as long as the judge orders her to return the money, she won’t dare not to!”

“Sue them? They are my parents, how can I sue them? Although they don’t like me, never raised me, they at least gave birth to me! If I sue them, it could blow up, and societal opinion would turn on me, accusing me of being unfilial, actually taking my own parents to court for money! Besides, with Huo Junmo’s current wealth, people might criticize me even more, for being so rich and yet suing my parents for a mere million!” Although Ling Yueyue really didn’t want to admit it, she had to acknowledge that regarding the one million Huo Junmo gave her parents, they had to suffer in silence.

If she weren’t Huo Junmo’s wife, and if Huo Junmo didn’t have billions, then maybe she’d have a reason to sue her parents, claiming they tricked her out of all her possessions!

But, that’s not how things are! Everyone knows she is Huo Junmo’s wife, and everyone also knows Huo Junmo’s worth! If they sued her own parents for a mere million in such a wealthy situation, they’d drown her with spit alone.

Besides, she knows her mother’s character well! Her mouth can turn black into white, alive to dead! By then, if she goes crying with snot and tears to the media, distorting the truth, her and Huo Junmo’s reputations would be ruined.

Her reputation is one thing, but she can’t let Huo Junmo be implicated by her, bearing undeserving accusations of being unfilial! How could she allow Huo Junmo, a public figure, to bear such a shame! Family scandals should be contained, not broadcasted to the entire world!

“She…!” In a fit of rage, Ling Shenglan almost blurted out Ling Yueyue’s real origin! But she swallowed her words forcefully, changed her tone, and said, “But a million, is it just letting them have it that easily? What right do they have to hold onto the money, what qualifications?”

Bringing up this, Ling Shenglan felt a pain in her chest! She truly never expected, her sudden decision back then would lead things to where they are now!

Ling Yueyue sighed helplessly, “Forget it, what’s done is done, after all, they are still my biological parents, I carry their blood! Let’s just see this million as finally severing any familial ties with them! From now on, they won’t get another penny from me!”

Ling Shenglan still couldn’t extinguish the fire in her heart, angrily said, “A million, a million? A million is enough for them to live and drink for a lifetime, they’ve gotten everything they could ask for from you; cutting ties now costs them nothing at all!”
