Jiujiu thought that her advice at noon had already made Li Meihua and He Daqiang give up on asking for benefits. She didn't expect that the two of them would join forces and become even more aggressive. They were really greedy to the extreme.
Jiujiu looked at Li Meihua speechlessly and said earnestly, "I can understand that you want more, but you have to know that if you have too many things that you can't control, you will fail. When that time comes, you will have nothing left."
Li Meihua said disapprovingly, "You and Mr. Mo are about to get engaged. With you around, such a thing will never happen."
She was certain that Jiujiu and Mo Yuan were about to get engaged, so she was not worried at all.
Jiujiu's face darkened. "Then you didn't ask me if I was willing to back you up. You have to know that I didn't have a very happy life at home in the past."
Jiujiu's face darkened and her tone was cold. It was as if she was digging up old scores.
Jiujiu had treated Li Meihua and He Daqiang so well that they had forgotten how they had treated Jiujiu in the past. Now that Jiujiu was going to dig up old scores, Li Meihua was instantly terrified.
In the end, Li Meihua and He Daqiang's good days depended on Jiujiu's mood. If Jiujiu was not willing, the two of them could only admit defeat.
Li Meihua didn't dare to challenge Jiujiu directly, but she didn't want to give up the good life she had before. She pursed her lips and said softly, "I know that your father and I have done you wrong in the past, but life was hard at that time, and we had no choice. Besides, you are about to get engaged to Mr. Mo, and the hard times are over. We are mother and daughter, and we are connected by blood. How can there be so much hatred in our family?"
Li Meihua's words were only meant to deceive the child. Jiujiu sneered and asked, "Is the only way to treat an eight-year-old girl like a man when there's no other way? If I remember correctly, you didn't have any problems at that time. Didn't you know how to cook and wash clothes? "
Li Meihua felt that Jiujiu would belong to someone else sooner or later, so she put all her burdens on Jiujiu.
Li Meihua lowered her head guiltily, not daring to face Jiujiu's question directly. She only said, "Let's not talk about the past anymore. We are a family now. You can talk to Mr. Mo. He will definitely agree. He used to send money to our family every year. There is no reason for him to refuse now."
Jiujiu smiled when she heard Li Meihua say that he was giving money. "I didn't know when he was giving money to me, but now I know. Take a guess. If you keep talking, will I let him continue to give you money in the future?"
Li Meihua was speechless.
Li Meihua wanted to continue persuading Jiujiu, but she was afraid that if she spoke, it would have the opposite effect. She could only purse her lips and remain silent, afraid that she would anger Jiujiu.
Under Jiujiu's death stare, Li Meihua stiffly turned and left.
Looking at Li Meihua's back, Jiujiu felt that even if she didn't teach He Daqiang's family a lesson, they would sooner or later play themselves to death with how they liked to court death.
Because they parted on bad terms this time, He Daqiang and his family did not dare to look for Jiujiu again even if there were a hundred claws scratching at their hearts.
If they didn't get any benefits from Jiujiu and angered Jiujiu, they wouldn't be able to get a single cent. That wouldn't be good.
Although Mo Yuan wasn't at home the whole time, he knew everything that happened at home. He knew very well that He Daqiang and his wife came to look for Jiujiu to ask for benefits.
If it weren't for his relationship with Jiujiu, Mo Yuan wouldn't even look at He Daqiang's family.
But now, he wanted Jiujiu's family to witness his engagement with Jiujiu, so he asked Uncle Li to arrange for He Daqiang's family to stay outside.
He Daqiang's family was originally living in a comfortable villa, but the next day, they were politely asked to leave by Uncle Li. It would be a lie to say that they weren't nervous.
After all, they had just parted on bad terms with Jiujiu yesterday, and now they were being asked to leave. Did that mean that Jiujiu had told Mo Yuan exactly what they had said to her yesterday?
What if Mo Yuan found out about what they said and stopped giving them money in the future?
He Daqiang and Li Meihua didn't particularly mind Jiujiu cutting ties with them because in their hearts, having Jiujiu was no different from not having a daughter.
But when it came to Mo Yuan, the god of wealth, the two of them didn't want to let go even if they died.
During the time that Jiujiu had been taken away by Mo Yuan, they had been relying on the money that Mo Yuan had given them to survive. They had long been used to reaping without sowing and coveting pleasure. Without the God of Wealth, Mo Yuan, giving them money, how could they, who had already lost their ability to live, continue living?
On the way to the hotel, because Uncle Li was there, they were particularly well-behaved. When they arrived at the hotel, He Daqiang raised his hand and slapped Li Meihua hard on the face.
Li Meihua was slapped the moment she entered the room. And because He Daqiang was afraid that she wouldn't have a good life, this slap was very harsh.
With a bang, Li Meihua sat on the ground and the corner of her mouth quickly became red and swollen.
Because it happened so suddenly, Li Meihua's eyes were filled with shock.
Li Meihua raised her hand and covered the side of her face. She looked at He Daqiang and said, "He Daqiang, what are you trying to do?"
He Daqiang's face was ferocious as he questioned, "What am I trying to do? I want to ask, what did you say to Xiao Ya yesterday? Why are we being sent out the moment we woke up?"
When she heard He Daqiang talk about the conversation between her and Jiujiu yesterday, which made Jiujiu angry, Li Meihua instantly felt guilty. She covered her face and got up from the ground. She lowered her eyes and muttered softly, "What do you mean by what I said to Xiao Ya? Xiao Ya was angry yesterday afternoon. And when we were at home, weren't you the one who always made her work?"
When he heard Li Meihua talk about what happened at home, He Daqiang instantly felt guilty.
This was because when they were at home, He Daqiang kept calling Jiujiu a loser. Moreover, he kept asking Jiujiu to do some tiring things.
He Daqiang, who had wanted to use this as a pretext to teach Li Meihua a lesson, withered in an instant.
He Daqiang sighed and said, "Do you think Little Ya is holding a grudge against us?"
"Do you even need to ask? That girl has been treated like that by us since she was young. Now that she's finally a master, it'd be strange if she doesn't hate us. "
Although Li Meihua's words sounded a little strange, it was true.
