Chapter 81: Treasure Hall
“Oh, by the way, there’s one more thing I want to announce.”
Yun Qing looked at Elder Huo and smiled.
“Back then, the eldest daughter of the Huo family had used the jade ring to pay off her debt. Now, I’ve decided...”
“Wait!”
Elder Huo saw that Yun Qing was about to make a move on the jade ring, and he was anxious. He did not care about his reputation and hurriedly spoke up to stop her.
The jade ring was a family heirloom of the Huo family. He could not let it fall into the hands of others!
“Yun Qing, the jade ring is a family heirloom of the Huo family. I will pay you back tenfold for the debt owed by the Huo Family!”
Elder Huo was extremely anxious. It was one thing for the Yun family to humiliate him in public, but he could not lose the jade ring.
Now, his gaze was once again focused on Yun Qing.
After all, public spats of wealthy families were always spectacular. Everyone loved to watch it.
Yun Qing was calm and collected. She stood on the main stage and looked down at Elder Huo.
Once upon a time, the members of the Huo family looked at her like this.
It was as if they were looking at a dog.
She would take back all the grievances she had suffered in the past.
“Elder Huo, do you think I need that money? Besides, Huo Qing used it to pay off the gambling debts. It was the Huo family who gave it to me on their own accord.
“Since that jade ring is so precious, I don’t plan to sell it. I plan to donate this priceless treasure to the National Treasure Hall. Today, I specially invited the curator of the Treasure Hall to witness a historic moment.”
Yun Qing said slowly as she smiled and looked at the side stage. Then, the curator of the Treasure Hall walked up.
Yun Kun smiled as he watched Yun Qing deal with the Huo family. He said a few more words of pleasantries and allowed everyone to socialize as they pleased.
Although he had taught the Huo family a lesson, Yun Kun would not let the Huo family off so easily.
Now that things had come to this, if Elder Huo continued to make a fuss, it was inevitable that their fall would only continue.
His entire body trembled as he clenched his fists. He watched helplessly as the jade ring fell into the hands of the Treasure Hall.
He would never be able to get it back.
No matter how powerful the Huo family was, they would not dare to fight with the government for it.
Elder Huo was so angry that he blew his beard out and glared. He did not want to stay here any longer. He waved his hand and turned around. He shouted angrily at the Huo family members beside him, “Let’s go!”
“Elder Huo, please wait a moment.”
How could Yun Kun let the Huo family leave so easily?
Grandfather Huo turned around and glared at Yun Kun. “Director Yun, do you still think that you haven’t humiliated me enough? Is there anything else?”
Grandfather Huo finally understood. The Yun family had organized this anniversary celebration to make fun of him and the Huo family behind him.
Yun Kun glanced at Huo Chuan, who was standing calmly behind Elder Huo. There was a hint of coldness in his tone. “This bit of humiliation is nothing compared to the humiliation your Huo family has given my daughter. Elder Huo, what right do you have to be angry? My daughter married into the Huo family and lived a worse life than a servant. After the divorce, you tried to tear her private life apart. Don’t I need an explanation?”
The Huo family’s expression changed.
This meant that the Yun family wanted to settle the score with the Huo family.
Yun Qing went up beside Yun Kun. She was looking at the sapphire necklace in her hand in boredom. She couldn’t even be bothered to look at the Huo family.
“Yun Qing never told us her real identity. How do we know she’s the daughter of the Yun Family?”
Grandfather Huo’s expression became even more ghastly as he made a counter-inquiry.
Yun Kun really had not expected Elder Huo to be so shameless.
If it was in the past, he would still have some respect for a business elder like Elder Huo. At the very least, a person from a prominent family like the Huo family would at least have some dignity and know how to behave.
But now, it seemed that Elder Huo did not even intend to pretend being civilized.
“Ha, at first, I did not agree to her marriage, but Yun Qing had fallen head over heels in love. I also thought that you are a big family and treated your daughters-in-law well. How wrong I was!”
As soon as Yun Kun finished speaking, Sun Lan explained in a panic, “When she was in the Huo family, we did not mistreat her. Moreover, she lied to us. We will definitely be angry.”
Didn’t mistreat her?
When she heard this, even a God would want to give Sun Lan a lightning strike to kill her.
How could she tell such bald-faced lies without blushing?
