In the large, luxurious, and warm living room
Huo Cixiao is increasingly reluctant to wake up. With his wife serving him and supporting him, he's starting to feel so happy he doesn't want to leave.
In the past, he would have laughed at men who lived off women, but now he finally acknowledged the truth of the saying, "You don't know how good it is to live off a woman when you're young!"
Besides, with Ling Kai and Lei Long around, it would be difficult for the Huo Corporation to go bankrupt even if they wanted to.
But if A Hu doesn't say those words, he won't be in a hurry at all.
Now, his love rival has actually come to his door to openly provoke him, a man in a vegetative state!
"Young Madam, that foreigner Henry from HL is here again to repay a debt of gratitude." A Hu's voice was so loud that even if Huo Cixiao covered his ears, he couldn't help but hear it.
Huo Cixiao once suspected that A Hu did it on purpose!
Just when he thought Luo Beishi wouldn't let the person in, Luo Beishi said, "Alright, let him in and take a look. I want to see how he plans to repay the favor, and whether he has any sincerity."
Huo Cixiao guessed the beginning of the story but not the ending; a single sentence caused his emotions to fluctuate wildly.
Hmph, all he knows is that his cheap wife only knows how to make money and please him; everyone else is bullshit!
A dozen minutes later, Henry, his legs trembling from the cold, finally arrived in front of Luo Beishi.
He hadn't expected Huo Cixiao's house to be so big! It made him walk for over ten minutes on the snowy road!
At this moment, he finally witnessed Luo Beishi's flawless face. His silver hair added a touch of mystery to his appearance, making him unforgettable at first glance.
But lying next to him was a noble and handsome man so striking that he couldn't be ignored.
Henry couldn't understand why a person in a vegetative state could have such a strong presence! It was infuriating!
Despite being in the warm living room, Henry felt unusually cold; the temperature around him was no different from the outside.
Henry was used to being flattered, but Luo Beishi showed no intention of letting him sit down, instead telling him to speak his mind.
Henry was humiliated, but he had to admit that Luo Beishi exuded a strong sense of pressure; just two words from him made him feel somewhat at a loss.
"I know you were the one who saved me back then, Mr. Luo. Could you please give me a chance to express my gratitude?" Henry said politely.
Luo Beishi lightly tapped Huo Cixiao's hand on the back of his hand, and after a moment of silence, asked, "Are you sure?"
Seeing this, Henry quickly nodded, "Agreed."
Luo Beishi chuckled lightly, "So how do you plan to thank me? You know what kind of family we are. You'll have to bring something I approve of to show your sincerity, right? Otherwise, don't keep saying thank you; it'll just make you seem hypocritical."
After hearing what Luo Beishi said, Henry suddenly felt caught in a dilemma. He had always thought that the Xia Country were good at helping others and that a meal or a gift would be enough to solve the problem.
He hadn't expected Luo Beishi to be so materialistic, speaking off the cuff. He was somewhat disappointed; Luo Beishi was too materialistic, completely different from the noble and virtuous savior he remembered!
"What? You keep saying you'll repay me? Is this all the sincerity you have? All you can do is talk? It's ridiculous. If you don't have the ability, please leave. I've heard that some foreigners love to pretend to be gentlemen, but seeing is believing."
Henry was speechless for a long time before finally saying, "Is there anything you want? I can give it to you, I will definitely give it to you."
Luo Beishi: "Don't give me that nonsense. Just tell me how much your life is worth, and give me that amount. I won't see you off, A Hu, see the guest out."
And so, Henry, his face ashen, was escorted out and walked for another ten minutes or so in the freezing cold before finally reaching the front gate!
When Henry first encountered Waterloo, his legs stiffened, and he turned incredulously to look at the large, white villa that resembled a palace.
The Huo Family was even richer than he had imagined. What Luo Beishi said today nearly shattered his pride, which had been built up over twenty years.
Standing in front of Luo Beishi at that moment, he felt as if his entire face was about to shatter.
Luo Beishi asked him how much his life was worth.
Henry almost laughed in anger when he thought about it. Luo Beishi truly lived up to his reputation as a billionaire; his mind was filled with nothing but money, and he even considered his life in monetary terms.
System: "Host, why didn't you mention the time he tricked you in the quiz competition?"
Luo Beishi, "This matter is rather troublesome. Let's wait until he sends the money before we start to break off relations. If we tell him in advance, he'll definitely feel there's no need to repay this favor."
Huo Cixiao, who was standing to the side, suddenly heard Luo Beishi's sinister laugh, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
His cheap wife was indeed a little crazy; she looked down on everyone but him.
He remembered that Henry was the president of HL, and he was handsome, but not as handsome as Huo Cixiao.
Of course, how could a cheap wife possibly fall for someone else? Humph.
Henry was delusional.
Don't think he can't hear the smirk in this foreigner's mouth; he just wants to invite his wife to dinner so he can take advantage of her!
How despicable! They actually wanted to cuckold him! Once he recovers, Henry will be the first to sacrifice him!
The veins on Huo Cixiao's hands became increasingly prominent, but Luo Beishi missed it because he was watching TV.
To be honest, Luo Beishi felt that such a life was really comfortable and wonderful.
But there are always people who like to come and break the peace.
Qin's mother used a different phone to make a call, and Luo Beishi answered it quickly.
The voice on the other end was gentler than ever before. " Beishi, when do you have time to come home? Mom misses you."
Luo Beishi almost threw up his dinner from the night before when he heard this. Oh well, he had to deal with his not-so-bright mother again.
"No need for pretense, just say what you mean." He was curious to see what kind of trouble they were up to this time.
The person on the other end fell silent after being retorted like that, and after a while said, " Beishi, how could your mother be hypocritical? Who carried you for ten months and gave birth to you? How dare you talk to your mother like that?"
Luo Beishi took a deep breath. "If I could, I would rather I hadn't come out of your womb. You're right, you carried me for ten months and gave birth to me. Tell me, how much money do you want to repay your kindness in giving birth to me, so you can have money to support your precious adopted son?"
Qin's mother was so angry that her hands trembled. Luo Bai had been speaking up for him all along, and this was how he treated his own parents? He was going to drive her crazy!
"You, you..."
"100 million, is that enough? In my opinion, I'm not worth that much money. I'll transfer it to you in a bit, and don't call me again." Luo Beishi had no intention of maintaining any familial ties with her. Their relationship was over. If they couldn't be strangers, then they could be enemies. He didn't mind having one more.
After hanging up the phone, Luo Beishi instructed Wen Gong to transfer money to the bank account provided by the system to Qin's mother.
