Chapter 111 - The Show Begins Extra Added

Ma Jinlian immediately realized something was amiss; her phone contained chat records with her man, what would happen if Old Han saw them?

“Dad, why do you want my phone?” Ma Jinlian asked with a grimace.

“Enough talk, hand it over!” Old Han raised his palm and shouted, “Another word, and I’ll slap you!”

The more Ma Jinlian thought, the more uneasy she felt, especially when she saw Ye Haochuan behind Old Han, wearing a smirk.

Her heart sank.

Ye Haochuan!

It must have been Ye Haochuan who was sabotaging her from behind!

But how did he find out there was something fishy with her phone?

Ma Jinlian couldn’t figure it out.

However, she was aware of the severe consequences of this matter.

With a defiant expression, Ma Jinlian unleashed her usual belligerence, yelling, “The phone I bought, why should I give it to you?

Can’t you get your own son to buy you one?”

“You…” Old Han was so furious it felt like his lungs would explode, and he raised his hand to slap her.

But Ma Jinlian was ready; she grabbed his wrist and forcefully pushed him.

Old Han staggered backward, toppled over but was luckily caught by Ye Haochuan who anticipated this.

“Rebellious, just rebellious!”

Old Han was furious, about to lunge forward, but Ye Haochuan held him back.

Ye Haochuan grinned and said, “Elder, let me handle this.”

Old Han eyed him for a moment and finally nodded, saying, “Be careful, this woman can throw a real tantrum when she gets going!”

“Don’t worry.”

After calming Old Han, Ye Haochuan boldly strode over, and to Old Han’s surprise, Ma Jinlian, usually so domineering, was meek as a cat in front of Ye Haochuan, dumbfounded!

In fact, what Old Han didn’t realize was Ye Haochuan had secretly used the Eternal Regret Finger Technique from afar to press an acupoint on Ma Jinlian.

After taking Ma Jinlian’s phone, Ye Haochuan quickly glanced at the WeChat messages and chuckled at her, “You and your husband are really ruthless, robbing your own family for money.”

Having said that, he discreetly unblocked her acupoint, but knowing how sharp-tongued she was, he didn’t release her Mute Acupoint.

As soon as Ma Jinlian regained her freedom, she glared at Ye Haochuan with hatred and lunged to snatch the phone, but Ye Haochuan wasn’t going to let her succeed.

He pushed her away, and then, he read the WeChat conversations out loud to Old Han right then and there.

Old Han was livid, endlessly cursing “unfilial son” and “animal,” and even the entire Old Master Han family was stirred up.

“Dad, what’s going on?” Old Master Han asked.

“What’s going on?

Your brother, he’s not human, trying to rob us of that million, even pretending to be a robber right over your father’s head!” Old Han was inconsolable.

“What?” The entire Old Master Han family was astounded.

Ye Haochuan then showed everyone the WeChat content on Ma Jinlian’s phone.

It’s said that there’s always strife between sisters-in-law.

For a long time, Yue Qiaoyun, the eldest daughter-in-law, had been at odds with Ma Jinlian, the second daughter-in-law, competing both openly and covertly.

This time, for her son Han Dazhuang’s wedding, the bride-to-be’s family demanded a house in the town along with a hundred thousand for the dowry, a sum astronomical to them.

The entire family was counting on the elder to sell an ancestral painting at a good price, only to have it robbed by the younger uncle’s family!

Uncle might endure, but Aunt cannot!

Yue Qiaoyun was the first to pounce and start fighting with Ma Jinlian, cursing as they struggled, “Ma Jinlian, you vile woman, do you even have a conscience?

Weren’t we agreed that your family would get a share of this one million?

You and the second eldest, just to monopolize it, actually did something so utterly devoid of morality…”

Given Ma Jinlian’s usual haughty demeanor, she would have retorted immediately, but unfortunately, her Mute Acupoint had been hit and she couldn’t speak.

Although her strength was not weak, she had already fallen behind in momentum, and Old Han was also against her.

Soon, she was so ragged from the fighting and pushing that she was covered in injuries, completely disheveled, crying in a mess.

Seeing Ma Jinlian’s miserable fate, Ye Haochuan felt a surge of joy at her misfortune, thoroughly delighted.

It wasn’t that he lacked compassion, but such a greed-driven vile woman truly did not deserve any.

Old Master Han and his son Han Dazhuang, however, were honest people and quickly separated the three, calming down the chaotic scene at last.

Old Han was still furious and cursed, “Get out of here and do not dare come back, or I’ll break your legs!

Also, go and tell that bastard second son of mine, I’m considering that forty thousand as dog food for my dogs, and he shouldn’t expect a penny of the rest.”

Ma Jinlian wanted to argue, but since she could not speak, she had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

But Ye Haochuan noticed a flash of spite in the woman’s eyes, clearly unwilling to let things go.

It looked like there would be a good show to watch first thing tomorrow morning!

That’s what Ye Haochuan thought.

After this incident, Old Han’s family was seething with anger.

After talking for a while and feeling tired, they each went to rest.

Just as Ye Haochuan had predicted, the next day started with a bang.

Right after breakfast, Han Dazhuang received a phone call from his fiancée, Zhang Cai, who had changed her initial demands.

To marry her, he must buy a house in the county, and prepare a dowry of three hundred thousand.

Han Dazhuang immediately looked worried.

After hanging up, Han Dazhuang shared this with his family, and everyone was astonished.

Because according to the Zhang Family’s initial demands, he only needed to buy a house in the town and provide a dowry of one hundred thousand.

Now they were drastically upping their demands, which was unbearable.

Not to mention three hundred thousand for a dowry; just buying a house in the county was overwhelming.

Because in the county, even a two-bedroom apartment would cost at least five hundred thousand, not including the cost for renovations.

In other words, the Zhang Family’s demands would quickly drain the one million Old Han had earned from selling his paintings.

Ye Haochuan had expected this and laughed, “Brother Dazhuang, your future mother-in-law is really ruthless.

No need to say it; it must be her inciting all this.

Don’t forget, the matchmaker was also her doing.”

Hearing this, everyone in Old Han’s family agreed and unanimously criticized Ma Jinlian for her slyness.

Only Han Dazhuang remained gloomy, heavy-hearted.

Ye Haochuan knew his thoughts and laughed, “What is a great man without a wife?

Brother Dazhuang, a woman who only eyes money is not worth pining for.

Even if you married her, she’d eventually turn out just like your future mother-in-law.”

At the mention of such a person, Han Dazhuang suddenly woke up as if from a trance, stood up abruptly, and said, “Thank you for the reminder, brother-in-law.

A woman who only wants money is not worth marrying!”

Brother-in-law?

Ye Haochuan could not help but beam with a broad smile; this Dazhuang, seemingly simple, did know how to speak, huh!

Meanwhile, Han Xue’er blushed and chided, “Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?

Where did you get ‘brother-in-law’ from?”
