Chapter 497

"Now my son is dead, the house is gone, and it's all your fault, you damned, cheap woman! You cursed jinx, you've brought death to my entire family!"

Seeing Sha Zhu about to strike again, Jia Zhangshi hurriedly patted the door and shouted.

Clearly, she knew that if Qin Huairu weren't inside, she would only be driven back to the countryside by Sha Zhu.

Jia Zhangshi never wanted to return to the countryside in this lifetime; after all, with her foul temper, no one would give her a pleasant look.

Especially since she would have to do farm work every day if she went back; with her vicious personality, she had to do farm work, as she wasn't even willing to do housework.

If it weren't for her advanced age, the people in the countryside wouldn't even give her food to eat.

"That's right, Qin Huairu, come out here! I'm Bang Geng, I'm your son! If you've really become a boss, you have to give me your money!"

"Do you have any idea what kind of life I've been living during this time? Hurry up and come out, I know you're in there!"

"If you don't come out today, I'll just sit outside, let's see what you're going to do!"

Bang Geng and Jia Zhangshi were truly pushing their luck, frantically pounding on the door and shouting.

Clearly, along the way, Liu Haizhong had whispered plenty of things in Sha Zhu's ear to curry favor with him.

He said that Qin Huairu and Chen Tian had a good relationship before, so it must have been Chen Tian who helped Qin Huairu.

That was why there were rumors in the Sihe Academy that Qin Huairu had become a big boss.

The ferocity with which Bang Geng and Jia Zhangshi were cursing now was clearly an attempt to please Sha Zhu.

Even if they couldn't find Qin Huairu here today, they could at least find an excuse to stay in Sha Zhu's house.

After all, deep down, they still didn't quite believe that Qin Huairu was staying in Sijiu City as some big boss; they had all seen Qin Huairu's capabilities before!

"What, didn't you eat? If you can't see Qin Huairu today, get out of my house! Don't even think about eating free meals in my house again!"

Seeing Bang Geng stop, Sha Zhu kicked him directly in the back, nearly sending him face-planting into the dirt.

Bang Geng didn't dare to delay, hurriedly standing up and starting to shout again.

Inside the room, Qin Huairu's face was extremely ugly; she hadn't expected Sha Zhu to bring Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng here first thing in the morning.

Qin Huairu hadn't gone to find Bang Geng and Jia Zhangshi because she didn't want them coming here to find her and causing trouble that would affect Chen Tian.

She never expected that they would eventually find their way here.

"Huairu! Don't worry, I'll call the people at the company now. I'll have the company's security come and take them away!"

"That's right, after giving them a good warning, they definitely won't dare to come again. Just rest assured, let's finish our breakfast first!"

Lou Xiaoe and Yu Li spoke up to comfort Qin Huairu, fearing she might feel guilty.

The group had long since become like sisters; how could they not know about Qin Huairu's worries over the years—she was just worried about Bang Geng and Jia Zhangshi coming here.

Chen Tian, however, didn't say much; this matter was a knot in Qin Huairu's heart. If she could untie this knot one day, she would be able to focus on handling things for him!

"No need, don't call. Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng have to meet with me sooner or later. I'll go out today and clear this matter up!"

"For these ten years, I've been worrying about this, but since it has come to this, I don't want to keep dragging it out!"

Qin Huairu shook her head in refusal, knowing that if this matter wasn't resolved, those two animals would certainly not let it go.

She didn't want to trouble Chen Tian with her own affairs; she didn't want to bring them any trouble!

The other women were also worried, subsequently casting pleading looks at Chen Tian, but he said nothing, merely nodding at Qin Huairu.

After deciding, she gathered her courage and walked toward the door, then slowly pushed it open.

When Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng saw Qin Huairu, they were completely dumbfounded!

They never expected that the Qin Huairu before them, whose appearance was so young and several times more beautiful, was the Qin Huairu from ten years ago!

After all, ten years ago, Qin Huairu suffered at home every day, had to work, and had to endure psychological torture; she looked several years older than her actual age!

The current Qin Huairu looked like an eighteen-year-old girl with fair, glowing skin, and her temperament was extremely noble!

For a moment, Bang Geng and Jia Zhangshi almost didn't recognize Qin Huairu!

However, Sha Zhu on the side recognized at a glance that this person was indeed Qin Huairu!

After all, having been a sycophant for Qin Huairu for so many years, how could he not recognize his goddess?

"Qin Huairu, you really are Qin Huairu! You're really in Chen Tian's house? What on earth is going on?"

"For these ten years, I've been asking about you, why haven't you made a sound? Have you been living in this place for these ten years?"

Seeing his goddess Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

He never expected that for ten years, Qin Huairu had been living right here, in this small western-style building he used to pass by when he was collecting trash.

He never expected that his goddess, Qin Huairu, whom he thought of day and night, was actually just that short distance away from him.

Sha Zhu had originally thought that after Jia Dongxu died, Qin Huairu must have left Sijiu City and gone who knows where!

"Qin Huairu, you're actually living in Chen Tian's house? This is such a luxurious western-style building!"

"You heartless thing, are you still human? Do you know what kind of life I've been living in the countryside for ten years? I was completely starving and freezing!"

"My precious grandson Bang Geng has been beaten and tortured by others every day for these ten years! How do you have the nerve to ignore us? You beast, you're not human!"

"Tell me what to do! How are you going to compensate us? This matter won't be settled without one thousand yuan!"

Seeing Qin Huairu living such a comfortable life, Jia Zhangshi was incredibly jealous!

She had been doing farm work in the countryside every day, yet Qin Huairu was living such a comfortable life!

Jia Zhangshi directly demanded money, actually wanting Qin Huairu, who looked so wealthy, to take out one thousand yuan!

Bang Geng also couldn't accept this fact; he never expected Qin Huairu to be living so well.

He had originally thought that after Jia Dongxu died, Qin Huairu must have remarried into someone else's family, so Bang Geng hadn't gone looking for her.

"Enough! Jia Zhangshi, I don't know how you found this place, but since you've made it here today, let's get everything out in the open!"

"First point, I won't give you any money. I ask you not to come to this place again!"

"When your son was sick and hospitalized, I did my best. All the medical and hospital expenses were paid by me. Afterward, he agreed to divorce me, and the divorce papers were processed. Now, honestly, I have nothing to do with you in any way, and your life or death has nothing to do with me!"

"As for what I've been doing and where I've been living for these ten years, that has even less to do with you!"

Qin Huairu's expression was cold; she didn't expect that after ten years, Jia Zhangshi would still have the same old attitude...

The moment she opened her mouth, she started asking for money. How could Qin Huairu be fooled again? After all, she was no longer the Qin Huairu of ten years ago!

After doing business for Chen Tian for ten years, the methods Qin Huairu possessed were not something a rural farm woman like Jia Zhangshi could compare to!

She had encountered many such unreasonable people in business, and she knew that one must never give in to such people!

Once you make any concessions to her, she will think you are afraid, and she will become even more insatiable and leave you no way out!

As for Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu felt even more disgusted. She hadn't expected that after making things perfectly clear to him before, he would still find his way here to disgust her.

Clearly, she had nothing to do with Sha Zhu, and he was the least qualified person to come and ask her anything.

Hearing Qin Huairu say that she had nothing to do with her, Jia Zhangshi became anxious.

How could she see Qin Huairu living in such a good house and not want to spend a single cent!

"Qin Huairu, you dead beast, do you know what you're saying? You have nothing to do with me? I'm your mother-in-law, how can you have nothing to do with me!"

"My son must have died because you jinxed him! You killed my son, so you have to compensate me!"

"Now you're living in such a good house; this house should be mine! Not only should you compensate me, but you also have to let me move into this house!"

"Did you hear me? Otherwise, I'll go all over Sijiu City and tell everyone how you, this heartless daughter-in-law, abused your mother-in-law! How you killed your husband!"

"Let's see who will do business with you once your reputation is ruined, and how you'll live in such a good house!"

How could Jia Zhangshi let go of such a big piece of meat? Qin Huairu's current status and position were clearly not low!

If she could move into such a big western-style building, it would be much more comfortable than being squeezed into that broken house at Sha Zhu's.

Not to mention that the broken house belonged to his sister, He Yushui; whether they could continue living there was another matter!

"Mom, I'm your own son! Since you're making so much money, you should at least give me a share. I haven't even taken a wife yet, so it's reasonable for you to give me a sum of money!"

"I've been looking for you for these ten years, but I couldn't find you at all. If you don't see me, I might be beaten to death by those bastards!"

"For these ten years, I've been suffering in Sijiu City, and every few days I get locked up in the police station. My life is truly bitter!"

Bang Geng also wanted to cling to Qin Huairu, wanting to use her as his blood-sucking target.

Now that Qin Huairu was so rich, if she gave him a few dozen or a hundred yuan every month, he could live a luxurious life for the rest of his life!

But clearly, Bang Geng's plan had failed. With Qin Huairu's current schemes and methods, how could she not see what Bang Geng was thinking?

Qin Huairu had long since stopped wanting to return to the life of ten years ago, and giving money to Bang Geng was even more impossible.

After all, Qin Huairu knew exactly what kind of person Bang Geng was; he had completely inherited the shortcomings of both Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu. As long as Qin Huairu dared to give him money, he would dare to suck money from her for a lifetime.

Qin Huairu had already completely broken with the past; it was impossible for her to give money to Bang Geng again!

"Enough! You don't need to say these things here anymore. I won't give you any more money. All the money I have and the house I'm renting belong to Chen Tian!"

"I'm not some big boss either; I'm just working for him. Essentially, there's no difference from working at the steel mill ten years ago!"

"Bang Geng, you're such a big person now. It's even more impossible for me to let someone with hands and feet like you rely on me for support. I don't have that kind of money!"

"As for moving into this house, don't even think about it. This house belongs to my boss, Chen Tian. You have absolutely no reason to live here!"
