The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 457 - 454 Perfect Lover 7_1

"You extort her first, then have the nerve to ask me for respect? Don’t you recognize her? Don’t you know she’s my fiancée? What are you playing at? Extorting her is no different from extorting me. Did you think I’d be grateful after you extorted me?"

He said, his voice toneless, "And what’s the meaning of these bills? Fifty thousand today, fifty thousand tomorrow... Heh. Some ’loving’ relatives you are. You’ve driven my fiancée to a dead end, freely insulting and trampling all over her. Have you ever once considered my feelings? Is this how you show me respect?"

Although his words were aimed at his aunt, Huang’s mother’s face burned with shame. Her son had always been filial, never speaking a harsh word to her since he was a child. This time, her heart was thoroughly wounded.

"Xiaojue, that’s not fair of you to say," the aunt retorted. "We weren’t extorting her. We were just trying to help you; it was a desperate measure, that’s all..."

"Help me with what?" Huang Xiaojue cut in.

"Help you see this shameless swindler for who she really is! She’s always been two-timing. Having a sugar daddy is one thing, but she’s still two-timing even now! Do you think marrying a woman like that would be worthwhile? Could you possibly be happy?"

Huang’s father thundered, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

The aunt, deciding to lay it all bare, shot back, "Brother-in-law, what’s the point of yelling at me? Why do you think my son ended up in this mess? Wasn’t it to help your wife get even? Now that he’s in jail, you couldn’t care less, could you? And Yan Xixi, don’t you understand what kind of woman she is by now? She never broke up with that lover of hers, did she? Look! The moment trouble started, he showed up—rich, powerful, and threatening us all..."

Huang Xiaojue’s face turned pale with rage. "Aunt, are you still resorting to such twisted arguments?"

"How am I twisting things? Huang Xiaojue, I think you’re just blinded by lust! Does that woman even care about you? If she really cared, would she have hit your mother? Even if we’re wrong a thousand times over, should a daughter-in-law strike her mother-in-law? People say no parents are ever entirely in the wrong! Why would you want such a termagant for a wife? Besides, she doesn’t even love you. The man she’s with is richer and more powerful than you, and now he’s using his position to bully us. Do you think we don’t know her background? She’s a shameless woman who’s even had an abortion! What do you want with such a rotten woman? She’s a disgrace to the family!"

A sharp SMACK! cut off her stream of insults.

Father Huang was furious. "You meddling fool, always stirring up trouble and sowing discord!"

Clutching her face, the aunt wailed, "Brother-in-law, why did you hit me? You only have the guts to hit my sister and me! What kind of person bullies their own family?! You ungrateful bunch! After using my son, you just cast him aside! You’re clearly scared of that bitch and her lover, but you still pretend... What are you even pretending for? If anything happens to my son, I swear I won’t let you off!"

The aunt ran out, still crying and yelling.

Silence descended upon the hospital room.

Father Huang stamped his foot. "Old woman, this is all your doing!"

Mother Huang didn’t dare to breathe, only sneaking glances at her son.

Huang Xiaojue turned and walked out.

Father Huang chased after him. "Xiaojue, where are you going?"

Huang Xiaojue didn’t answer.

The sky had slowly darkened. He walked aimlessly through the streets alone. Home, the company, his apartment... he didn’t want to go to any of them. The lights of countless homes flickered on one by one. The bustling city resembled an incredibly brilliant ribbon of light.
