Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 833 - 828: Only Loves Herself

Looking at Zhou Yunmei's frantic appearance now, Xu He recalled how Zhou Yunmei threatened her earlier, and she smiled complacently, directly saying to Zhou Yunmei, "Zhou Yunmei, let me tell you, I really didn't plan to target your grandson initially, you forced me."

While speaking, Xu He snorted, looking at Zhou Yunmei, "Not only did you take my money, but you also dared to threaten me, let me show you who is threatening whom now."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunmei immediately paid attention to the part where Xu He said she took her money. Instinctively, she covered the pocket that contained only two thousand yuan and shouted at Xu He, "What do you want now, want money? No way, once the money is in my hand, don't expect me to give it back."

Xu He watched Zhou Yunmei's actions, smiled faintly, and shook her head.

Actually, she could see that Zhou Yunmei doesn't really love anyone in this world; she loves herself the most. At this point, if she were a normal person, shouldn't she say she'd rather give up all the money to take her grandson away? But she still cares about money.

Luckily, she didn't have a child with her son back then, otherwise, who knows what she might do to the child for money.

Therefore, Xu He deliberately teased Zhou Yunmei, saying, "And your grandson? Aren't you afraid I'll kill him or sell him, leaving your son without an heir for life."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunmei still didn't mention money, only empty threats at Xu He, "You dare, I'll call the police to arrest you."

Xu He was unconcerned, pointed to the direction outside, "Go ahead, see if I can kill your grandson before the police arrive."

"You..." Zhou Yunmei was at a loss for words, but then her expression turned fierce, and she jumped in front of Xu He, grabbing her clothes, "Then let us both perish together. If you dare harm a single hair on my grandson, I won't let you off."

"Xu He, you know me, Zhou Yunmei, the one I care most about in my life is Zhiming. Zhiming might only have one son in his life; if you dare harm him, I'll fight you to death."

All things considered, Zhou Yunmei still didn't mention using money to solve the problem.

Xu He knew Zhou Yunmei's plan too well, she wanted both the person and the money; losing either would drive her to pain.

But where in this world do things work out so well? Immediately, Xu He smirked at Zhou Yunmei, "Ha, I never thought Zhou Yunmei would risk her life for someone else."

Seeing Zhou Yunmei about to explode again, this time Xu He was too lazy to continue the nonsense, directly stating her purpose, "Enough, I'm just messing with you, what good does it do me to kill a kid? I won't harm the kid, my only demand is to see Fang Pingying, just go back and tell Fang Pingying that Haohao was taken by me, let her come alone with ten thousand yuan to the place I specify by this time tomorrow, and I'll make sure your family's Haohao returns unharmed."

"Ten thousand yuan?" No matter the time or place, Zhou Yunmei's focus will always be on money.

Xu He looked at her panicked face, smiled at her, "Rest assured, Fang Pingying will prepare the money, don't worry about it, you're just responsible for conveying the message."

"Well..." Zhou Yunmei calmed down a bit, and indeed, Fang Pingying would certainly fork out this money.

Seeing this, Xu He smirked and reiterated again, "Remember, by this time tomorrow, make sure Fang Pingying is on time, or if you're late, I might just take out my frustration on the kid."

After speaking, Xu He left, leaving Zhou Yunmei standing there dazed.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yunmei started calculating in her mind.

If she really did as Xu He said and told Fang Pingying to bring the money tomorrow, it would mean revealing her secret dealings with Xu He, then what would happen to her once Haohao is safely returned?

Quite possibly, Luo Zhiming might also hate her to death because of this Haohao incident, and she would be left to grow old alone, with no one to care for her.

But if she didn't convey the message, what would happen to Haohao? She sincerely didn't wish for her only grandson to be harmed.

This situation was truly putting Zhou Yunmei in a difficult spot, and she didn't know what choice to make.

As Zhou Yunmei hesitated, she walked back to the place where she had just met Luo Zhiming.

Luo Zhiming naturally couldn't find Haohao, hurriedly came back, and asked Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, did you find Haohao?"

"No."

This time, Luo Zhiming was truly anxious. He said, "Mom, no, we can't keep this hidden any longer, we must go back and notify Fang Xiu and sister-in-law to help, or we'll never find Haohao."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunmei instinctively retorted, "No, no, Haohao won't have any problem, he's just..."

"Just what?" Luo Zhiming found Zhou Yunmei's attitude odd; she seemed certain Haohao wouldn't be in trouble.

"Nothing, I just think Haohao wouldn't be taken so quickly, it should be..." Zhou Yunmei, afraid of Luo Zhiming's suspicion, tried to change the subject, "Otherwise, let's go back to the guesthouse first and discuss it further...

"No need to discuss, I'll just call my sister-in-law Fang Xiu and them and ask them to send someone to find Haohao." Luo Zhiming was firm this time, and after speaking, regardless of whether Zhou Yunmei opposed it, he insisted on calling Fang Pingying and Fang Xiu, informing them that Haohao was missing.

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiu and Fang Pingying couldn't care less about anything else and immediately gathered the family to come over.

Fang Xiu and Fang Pingying were relatively rational, notifying Luo Zhiming and Zhou Guangsheng, then came over by car while on the phone, with Luo Zhiyong inquiring the details from Luo Zhiming.

However, Fang Ping'an and Li Yuchun, the two elders, upon hearing the news about Haohao, were shocked beyond belief, especially Li Yuchun, who cried all the way here.

Upon arriving at the guesthouse, Li Yuchun saw Luo Zhiming and didn't care, slapped him several times and cursed, "You beast, do you think you haven't harmed our Xiu'er and Haohao enough? We're finally having a few peaceful days, and you lost Haohao, what kind of father are you."

Seeing her son being beaten, Zhou Yunmei's combative instinct flared up again; she stood up with a bang and pushed Li Yuchun in shock, "Li Yuchun, are you crazy? The kid's situation isn't certain yet, does anyone just start hitting like that?"
