Chapter 281 - 281: 281 points of good luck
Li Muyao, who was shocked by the truth for a long time, suddenly asked, ‘”‘Under what circumstances would your brother and sister-in-law bring the token and marriage certificate to my house to cancel the engagement?”
According to Huo Jiling’s explanation, the Huo family was not really heartless to Li Muyao’s family, but rather excusable.
Uncle Ruan, the last time Li Muyao sent home appliances and fridges, she wrote this name. And this ‘Uncle Ruan’ would indeed send things to his family from time to time until Li Muyao died in his previous life.
He thought that his rebirth was just a simple rebirth. After all, in his previous life, Li Muyao couldn’t get a proper boyfriend and didn’t build a small family for herself. She could be said to be one of the women of the same age who had a house, a car, savings, and a career. She finally succeeded. Other than the relationship with her family that hadn’t been repaired, she really had no regrets.
One had to know that those so-called rebirth novels were usually filled with regrets or unfulfilled wishes.
However, Li Muyao didn’t have anything she couldn’t let go of.
None of them!
Ever since she was reborn, Li Muyao realized that she seemed to have fallen into a strange circle. It was a world that she was familiar with but not familiar with. It was similar to her previous life but not quite the same.
“I’m dead”
When Huo Jiling said these three words, his heart stopped for a moment. He stared blankly at Li Muyao’s beautiful face, and his heartbeat immediately recovered. His black eyes moved.
“What is it? Huo Jiling, are you saying that your family will only come to my house to cancel the engagement if you die?”
Li Muyao didn’t know why she had such a big reaction. She stood up trembling. However, she remembered what Huo Jiling had said about him having a family. He suddenly understood that this was the truth.
It was true. Li Muyao had even suspected and even thought that the Huo family’s eldest brother and sister-in -law came to Huo Jiling to break off the engagement because of the clause written on the marriage contract: Huo Jiling broke off the engagement and gave up on inheriting the Huo family’s assets. For the sake of the assets, Brother Huo and Mrs. Huo went to Li Muyao’s house to break off the engagement.
Li Muyao sat back down, took a sip of tea, and asked Huo Jiling with difficulty, “Based on your understanding of your family, will your brother and sister-in-law compensate my family with a sum of money after breaking off the engagement according to the agreement in the marriage contract?”
“Yes! The Hunts always keep our promises!”
A promise is worth a thousand gold!
This was the foundation of the Huo Family’s survival, the way of doing business, and the standard of conduct that Grandma Huo had taught her since she was young.
“What’s wrong?”
Huo Jiling finally realized something was wrong with Li Muyao. He looked at her pale face and reached out to grab her hand, but she nimbly shook it off.
Li Muyao collected her thoughts, and her voice was filled with suppressed emotions. “It’s okay. Your family sounds very good.”
“Sister Yao, are you alright? The auction is about to begin.”
Chu Ranran had been sitting by the side like an obedient girl, listening to the conversation between Huo Jiling and Li Muyao. The more Chu Ranran listened, the more shocked and shocked she became. She never expected Sister Yao to be Second Brother Huo’s betrothal partner.
She had always thought that Second Brother Huo was chasing Sister Yao.
Marriage was a common occurrence in wealthy families. With Huo Jiling’s family background and his outstanding talent, countless outstanding women would line up to go on blind dates with him in Jin City. It was said that he rejected all of them. Later, he even said that he had a fiancée in Yang City..
