The jade on Grandpa Huo’s ring had a translucent quality, and there was an irregular layer of red in it. It must be the legendary Blood Jade. As soon as Ye Yao saw it, she felt refreshed. She even felt that her level of energy was constantly replenished. This jade was specially made for her skills!
A look of greed was reflected in Ye Yao’s eyes. She wanted this piece of jade. She had a feeling that it would be very useful to her. Before she met Huo Buyu’s grandfather, she had wondered why her Verbal Virtuosity technique seemed useless against the man. Now, she understood that he had a spiritual weapon, so Verbal Virtuosity was useless against him.
Ye Yao’s gaze was fixed on the jade ring on Grandfather Huo’s hand. Even a fool could tell that Huo Buyu’s grandfather was naturally unhappy when he saw how ignorant Ye Yao looked. He sat down on the sofa. “Do you know who I
Huo Buyu’s grandfather was at least 75 years old. His hair was white, but he was in the pink of health. His eyes were clear, and his voice was strong and bright. It was obvious that he was full of vitality.
Ye Yao nodded. “I know. You’re Huo Buyu’s grandfather.”
Old Master Huo sneered. “At least you have some awareness. I’m here today to tell you that I don’t agree to your relationship with Huo Buyu. Break up with him.”
Ye Yao was stunned for a moment. At the same time, she felt a pain in her heart. Although she had long known about Grandfather Huo’s attitude, she
still felt very sad when she heard these words. When she was with Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen’s mother did not like her. It made her sad, but not as sad as she was now. Old Master Huo did not say anything else, but already she was feeling so miserable. Obviously, she had fallen in love with Huo Buyu.
Ye Yao took a deep breath and looked at Old Master Huo. “That’s not possible. I won’t break up with Huo Buyu.” Her tone was firm.
Old Master Huo smiled and took out a cheque from his pocket. He handed it to Ye Yao. When Ye Yao saw the cheque, she was nervous for a moment. 100 million! A big number!
At this point, Old Master Huo said, “Here’s a million yuan. Leave Huo Buyu.”
Ye Yao was speechless. She was hesitating if she should reject 100 million yuan, but when Old Master Huo said 1 million yuan, she almost bit on her tongue! Huo Buyu, this big liar! He was actually only worth 1 million yuan! What happened to 100 million yuan?!
Ye Yao looked at Old Master Huo and smiled. “Old Master, you’re really funny. Huo Buyu and I are truly in love. Why would I leave him for a million yuan?” If Old Master Huo had given her a hundred million yuan, her brain might have spasmed and she would have had to think carefully about it. However, a million yuan… She wasn’t sure if it was Huo Buyu or her that he despised. She felt a little stifled.
Ye Yao was initially full of anticipation to see Huo Buyu’s grandfather. After all, it would give her a chance to see what a 100 million yuan check looked like. However, there was no 100 million yuan check now! She was heartbroken!
Old Master Huo chuckled when he saw Ye Yao’s disappointed expression. “Why? You think its too little?”
Ye Yao nodded honestly. “It’s indeed too little.” Compared to Huo Buyu’s 100 million yuan, it was pitifully little. It wasn’t even enough to fill the gap between her teeth.
Old Master Huo looked at Ye Yao with disdain in his eyes. ‘You have to know your place. Given your identity and status, a million yuan is already a blessing.”
Ye Yao frowned. For the first time, she found out that stinginess was an inherited trait! She smiled at Old Master Huo. “Old Master, the logic is very simple. Huo Buyu is so rich that the clothes, bags, shoes, cosmetics, and so on he buys for me every month add up to more than a million yuan. A million yuan is indeed too little. Even if I’m not from a good family, I do know basic mathematics.”
Old Master Huo was obviously an old-fashioned and pedantic person. Ye Yao knew very well that even if she said that she and Huo Buyu were truly in love, the elderly man would only scoff at her. The scene of begging the elders in television dramas would never happen to her because she knew very well that it was useless.
Old Master Huo admired Ye Yao’s honesty in saying aloud that it was too little money, so he said, “Since you think that it’s too little money, name a price.” Ye Yao said, “It definitely can’t be less than 100 million.”
Old Master Huo smiled. “You’re really daring.. You won’t be able to spend 100 million in your lifetime, right?”
