Hou Yingyi drove his car like a hurricane to the door of Jiang Huifang's house. His fist was like a thunderclap as he knocked on the door.
Jiang Huifang heard the knock and took a deep breath. She slowly opened the door for Hou Yingyi.
Just as the door opened, Hou Yingyi's fist came in and hit Jiang Huifang hard in the face.
"Aiyo..." With a pain-distorted voice, Jiang Huifang took a few steps back and finally sat down on the ground.
She covered her face and looked angrily at Hou Yingyi. She originally wanted to scold him, but when she saw his angry face, her heart suddenly beat faster. She thought to herself, "Is Yu Meilin's injury very serious?
"Y-Yingyi... You... Why did you hit me?"
Hou Yingyi walked inside with a gloomy face and looked down at Jiang Huifang. "Where is Wei Xiaoqing?"
Jiang Huifang quickly avoided his gaze and crawled backward. "Xiaoqing? Isn't she at your house? She... What happened to her?"
"Hmph!"
Hou Yingyi was not a fool. Normally, Jiang Huifang would speak confidently to him. Even if she did not speak confidently, she would not be foolish.
She would not avert her eyes like she was doing now
She did not even dare to look at him!
Hou Yingyi suddenly bent down and pulled Jiang Huifang's collar. His eyes were cruel as he picked her up from the ground. "Jiang Huifang, tell me where Wei Xiaoqing is!"
Being treated like this, Jiang Huifang had no choice but to look Hou Yingyi in the eye. She retracted her neck and said, "S-she's not here!"
"Say it again!" Hou Yingyi's loud roar frightened Jiang Huifang so much that her heart trembled.
Although she was used to being rude and unreasonable, but what she feared the most was violence.
Especially when the violence came from the men.
Even if they fought, she would not be able to defeat Hou Yingyi.
In the end, she would definitely be the one who suffered.
Jiang Huifang was not that stupid. At this time, she would not get angry at Hou Yingyi.
"Y-Yingyi..." Jiang Huifang swallowed her fear and asked cautiously, "What... what had happened?"
*Pah!*
With a loud sound, a powerful slap landed on Jiang Huifang's face.
The sound of the slap was accompanied by Hou Yingyi's roar, causing Jiang Huifang's eardrums to ache. "Where is Wei Xiaoqing!"
"Wuwuwu..." Jiang Huifang did not know whether it was because of the pain or because she was scared, but her tears kept flowing. She looked at Hou Yingyi, full of fear and grievance, but she did not dare to say a word.
Hou Yingyi smiled coldly and nodded. Suddenly, his grip loosened and Jiang Huifang fell to the ground with a loud thud as if she had lost all her strength.
Hou Yingyi put his hands in his pockets and looked down at Jiang Huifang's pitiful gaze. He calmly said. "Jiang Huifang, think carefully. If you continue to protect Wei Xiaoqing, do you think that I will still continue to give you a monthly allowance? Do you think you will be able to live a comfortable life as of now?"
Jiang Huifang's pupils trembled violently, she was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She jumped up and knelt down in front of Hou Yingyi. She held his pants with both hands and cried loudly. "Yingyi, you can't do this to me. If you don't give me the money, how will I live?"
Hou Yingyi kicked her and continued to threaten her. "What does it have to do with me whether you live or not? If you want to live, you can go outside and beg for food!"
Jiang Huifang bit her lips. She was in a dilemma.
She wasn't willing to betray Wei Xiaoqing no matter what the circumstances were. After all, Wei Xiaoqing was still her biological daughter.
She had pampered her child all this time and raised Wei Xiaoqing with her own hands.
But... Hou Yingyi's threat was like a sharp knife piercing her heart. She had no husband or son to rely on. Wei Xiaoqing had even given their family's company to Hou Yingyi.
If Hou Yingyi didn't give her the money, there was no one left for her to rely on. Then she'd... then she'd surely die!
Wei Xiaoqing had done something wrong this time. Seeing the anger on Hou Yingyi's face, Jiang Huifang could guess that the matter might be very serious. If the Hou Family didn't vent their anger now, not to mention her, even Wei Xiaoqing's future wouldn't be good.
Hou Yingyi was getting impatient. Suddenly, he shouted in a loud voice, "Have you thought it through yet?"
"I... I..." Jiang Huifang was so scared that her body trembled. She raised a hand to wipe the tears from her face. Then she raised her head and looked at Hou Yingyi with fear. "If I tell... will you really keep giving me the money?"
Hou Yingyi immediately smiled. A sense of pride rose up in him. He felt like he was a king and could control everything with his hands. He had never felt this kind of feeling before, but now, Jiang Huifang made him feel this kind of superiority.
Hou Yingyi was immediately pleased and gently patted Jiang Huifang's face. "But of course. After all, you are still my mother-in-law."
Bullshit!
Was there a person who treated his mother-in-law like this?
Jiang Huifang secretly cursed Hou Yingyi in her heart. She got up from the ground and said softly, "Xiaoqing is upstairs, in her room. If you go and knock on the door, she definitely will not open it for you. I will go and knock on the door. You stay at the side and don't say anything."
Hou Yingyi sneered. "Go ahead."
What a mother-daughter love?
In front of the temptation of money, Jiang Huifang did not hesitate to betray Wei Xiaoqing.
For the money, Jiang Huifang could be anyone.
But it was also good that people had weaknesses. One just needed to understand the person's weaknesses and make them obey him.
With every step Jiang Huifang took, she felt her heart bleed, and the pain made her want to run away.
But she knew she could not. If Hou Yingyi did not see Wei Xiaoqing at this time, then she would be in trouble.
It was only when Jiang Huifang walked to the door of Wei Xiaoqing's room did she take a deep breath and turned to look at Hou Yingyi.
Under Hou Yingyi's cold gaze, Jiang Huifang slowly raised her hand to knock on the door. "Xiaoqing... Xiaoqing..."
Quickly, Wei Xiaoqing's voice came from inside. "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Haha..." Jiang Huifang tried her best to make her voice sound calm. "It's nothing. Yingyi came just now. I told him you weren't here and sent him away."
