602: Chapter 603 Sister Like Mother 20_1 602: Chapter 603 Sister Like Mother 20_1 Zhao i watched Huang Man retreat to her room, remaining silent for a long ti.
What to do, Zhao i was so anxious in her heart.
If Huang Man wasn’t willing to act, did that an she had to beco aggressive?
Huang Man wasn’t the type to charge to the front; she preferred to stay behind the scenes.
The benefits were hers to enjoy, and the bla was never on her shoulders.
Everything was going well, but now, alas.
Zhao i didn’t know where things had gone wrong; everything had been under her control.
Since she couldn’t figure out the reason, she didn’t bother to ponder it anymore.
In any case, the money was not going to be given up.
Just as she was about to leave, she found Huang Xin and Huang Lina standing at the doorway.
Zhao i couldn’t help but shiver, “You, aren’t you going to rest yet?”
“It’s still early, what’s there to rest for,” Huang Xin blocked Zhao i who wanted to go back to her room, “Mom, I think there are so things we can discuss properly.”
Huang Lina humd in agreent and pulled Zhao i over to a chair, prompting her to sit down directly.
“Mom, we heard the conversation you just had with big sister.
We really never imagined that you could be this kind of person.”
Huang Lina spoke first, and upon hearing this, Zhao i’s heart suddenly leaped, facing the very scene she wished to avoid.
“I, I…”
“Just now, I heard my sister ntion that we could confront each other, and I think that’s a good suggestion.” Huang Lina and the others might not have seen Zhao i’s expression,
but they were not fools.
If Huang Man was wrongfully accusing her, they would definitely not have hindered Huang Man.
Zhao i had no choice but to sit down again.
Since they had heard it, what else could she do?
“I am your mother, and this money—I’m the one to manage it.
I am the head of the family.”
“What, I’m not dead yet, my brain is not confused, and I haven’t lost the ability to manage money.
Why should I hand the money over to you?”
Since Huang Man, that uncooperative girl, was of no help, it didn’t matter; she could handle these matters by herself.
“The two of you don’t understand anything, spending money lavishly.
You say I spend a lot, but Huang Xin, Huang Lina, do you not have any idea how much money I have spent on you?”
“I rember it well.” Zhao i hadn’t wanted to fall out with them, but now she could not afford to give them face.
“So what if you rember.” Huang Xin quickly caught on, “Just because you say the words, you claim that money was spent on us?”
“I also heard that my dad’s death—all your doing.
I overheard you agreeing on how much money you’d accept to stop his treatnt.” Huang Xin said in a low voice.
Huang Man happened to co out and heard this; she was completely shocked.
In the original owner’s mories, it was because Huang Zhiqiang’s condition was too severe and the doctors had said there was no hope of resuscitation that Zhao i agreed to forgo treatnt.
Little did she know that giving up on the treatnt had such a precondition; Huang Man imdiately squatted down and then slowly moved closer, eager to hear more.
Huang Lina was completely stunned, hearing this for the first ti, “Brother, brother, what are you saying?”
“Mom, did you really take the money and then give up on saving Dad?” Huang Lina asked in shock, looking at Zhao i.
She found the other to be so terrifying, it gave her chills.
Zhao i was also frightened by Huang Xin’s words, “You, you, you…”
“Don’t say I’m spouting nonsense.
I also know where you originally discussed this.”
Huang Xin didn’t stand up against it because it was a sum offered in agreent, and it was no trivial amount.
He calculated that even if the old man had stayed healthy, he might not have been able to earn that much money.
Moreover, with such serious injuries, even if he had survived, he would be a burden, so it was better to let him go and leave so money for the family.
Huang Xin originally thought that if possible, he should also be able to get the money, but unexpectedly, the compensation Zhao i received, she kept it all, without ever considering sharing even a bit with him.
“The money I spent was clearly left to by dad, and yet you complain that I’m too extravagant.”
“Haven’t you always said that I’m Scarlett’s main support?
I was willing to take on everything at ho, so why didn’t you hand the money over to ?”
Now Huang Xin wanted to threaten Zhao i, determined that he couldn’t just walk away without the money.
Zhao i was initially very flustered, knowing she’d be cursed to death if the story got out, but soon she cald down.
“Little Xin, I know, you start lying when you don’t get the money,” Zhao i said.
“Little Xin, I really didn’t expect you to change like this, to go to the lengths of saring my reputation just to get the money.”
“If such a thing really happened, your dad was so good to you, knowing what I was doing, why didn’t you stop ?” Zhao i asked.
Zhao i waited for Huang Xin’s next move, but he froze, realizing that while airing this story would not end well for Zhao i, it wouldn’t for him either.
His father had been very good to him while he was alive, and this was how he repaid him.
Huang Xin was infuriated, having finally thought of a way to make Zhao i obediently hand over the money.
But he had also trapped himself in the process, and no amount of anger could change that.
Huang Lina saw Huang Xin relent, and she couldn’t contain her excitent.
It was the first ti she’d heard about this, a perfect opportunity to get her hands on the money.
When Huang Xin turned, he saw Huang Lina’s happy expression.
“Huang Lina, you heard about this the sa as I did,” he said.
He had not gotten the money; how could he let Huang Lina get it?
“The money is definitely not for you,” he declared.
“If the money goes to you, then there’s absolutely no chance,” Huang Xin said vehently.
“Right, the money cannot go to you,” Zhao i chid in, determined not to let Huang Lina have control of the money.
Such a girl, always spending lavishly, how could she be allowed to handle the finances?
“Why can’t I be in control?” Huang Lina cried out in anger, unwilling to accept this.
Zhao i and Huang Xin were in the sa boat at this point, naturally uniting against Huang Lina.
Huang Man crouched by the window, listening in for a while until the back-and-forth beca too much and she had no desire to listen any longer.
It was all about money, disregard for everything else, so she yawned and returned to her room.
She had been foolish to waste ti here when she could have been back, doing practice questions, thinking about her essays.
Wouldn’t that be better?
Back in her room, she started doing practice questions but didn’t forget to eavesdrop on the outco of their discussion.
If possible, she hoped that the three of them would always be at odds with each other, each full of dissatisfaction and worry about the others.
Once they joined forces, the next person they would target would definitely be her.
Zhao i and the other two had no idea that Huang Man had heard quite a bit from outside; they were still vying for their own interests.
They held out until they could no longer sustain it, and only then did they disperse in haste.
Zhao i lay in bed, letting out a long sigh of relief, “Turns out I can keep the money after all.”
She had been worried about not being able to keep the money, which is why she thought of pushing Huang Man to the forefront, but the girl stubbornly disagreed.
Now things were fine; without Huang Man, she could keep the money, and she didn’t need to be beholden to anyone.
How wonderful, the money was in her hands; she didn’t need to be influenced by their moods.
Even if Huang Zhiqiang were alive and treated her well, it would not have been possible for her to spend freely.
Before falling asleep, Zhao i thought about keeping the money firmly in her grasp, and she rembered the disgusted faces of Huang Xin and the others when she decided to buy sothing she liked today.
