Li Pingping was stunned when she heard the beeping sound on the other end of the phone.

Yu Rufeng saw that after Li Pingping hung up the phone, her expression was very strange. Her face was filled with disbelief and shock. He asked, “What did they say? When do they plan to give us the money?”

Only then did Li Pingping turn to look at her husband.

Her lips quivered for a long while before she told him, “Yu Huang just turned 18 last month. She now has her own independent account. The production team has already transferred the compensation to Yu Huang’s personal account this morning…”

Hearing this, Yu Rufeng turned pale with fright. “What! How could this be? When did that wretched girl Yu Huang secretly open her bank account behind our backs?!”

Yu Huang was only four years old when she debuted. She was still young and did not have her own personal bank account, so all the money she earned had been transferred into Li Pingping’s account. When Yu Huang was 15 years old, she had once requested to open her personal bank account, but was harshly rejected by Li Pingping and Yu Rufeng.

Sensing that Yu Huang had grown up and that they were gradually losing control of her, in order to prevent the possibility of Yu Huang gaining control of her own assets, Yu Rufeng safekept her ID. Without Yu Rufeng’s permission, Yu Huang simply couldn’t get her identity card.

However, this time, when Yu Huang was hospitalized due to her disfigurement, she needed her identity card for all kinds of documents. Yu Rufeng found it troublesome, so he directly placed Yu Huang’s identity card in Yu Huang’s bag. Could it be that during her hospitalization period, Yu Huang secretly went to the bank to open an account?

Yu Rufeng was shocked by his own guess.

“This d*mn girl must have been secretly prepared from the day she realized that we wanted to cut ties with her!” Opening a personal bank account was the first step. She waited for them to compensate for the breach of contract before finding an opportunity to sign the severance contract with them. That was the second step!

Every step she took was cautious and bold!

Yu Rufeng suddenly felt that she couldn’t see through Yu Huang. In the past, she was clearly easy to manipulate. It seemed that ever since she was injured, she had become more shrewd.

“I’m afraid she’s been pretending all along!” Li Pingping believed that Yu Huang had long had rebellious intentions and was waiting for a reason to sever ties with them! “As expected of someone who isn’t our biological daughter. This little sl*t is an ingrate that is ungrateful! She’s too evil. She deserves to be disfigured!”

Li Pingping was enraged.

There was a reason why she was so angry.

Yu Huang had indeed earned quite a bit of money over the years, but it had all been squandered by Li Pingping and the others. This time, Yu Huang had been disfigured. In order to make up for the penalty fee, they had even sold a house under their name.

Other than the luxury cars and villas under their names, they were penniless!

It was easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but it was difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. These years, they were used to living in luxury, and their monthly expenses were not a small sum. Now that they had no money, if they wanted to maintain a decent life, they could only sell real estate.

The villa could not be sold. If it was sold, they would not have a place to stay. On the other hand, luxury cars were worthless once they were sold. Even if they sold them, they would not be able to exchange them for much money. As for Li Pingping’s bags and jewelry, although they were luxury brands, they were not limited edition. They could only be sold at a low price on the second-hand internet.

Even if they sold the car and jewelry, the money would not be able to help them keep up appearances for long. Furthermore, they still had to pay off their monthly mortgage of 50,000 yuan! They still had to pay it back for 20 years!

Yu Huang’s actions had completely kicked Li Pingping and the others back into the abyss!

Li Pingping wasn’t willing to be tricked by Yu Huang just like that, and she wanted to get the money back no matter what.

“What do you mean?!” Yu Rufeng glared at his wife while reminding her, “Have you forgotten about the protection law for underage assets? According to our country’s laws, underage assets are earned through legal labor. Parents and family members have no right to embezzle the assets. You have to wait until the child reaches adulthood, and then let the person in question control the assets.”

“In other words, when we’ve been using Yu Huang’s money to buy cars and houses all these years, it was illegal!”

Yu Huang was now an adult and had severed all ties with them. They would not be able to get the money back. If they were to pursue the matter, not only would they not be able to get back the 15 million yuan that Yu Huang had taken away, they would also have to return the money that Yu Huang had earned over the past 14 years to her!

Hence, Yu Rufeng and the others had to suffer this loss!

Li Pingping had been controling Yu Huang for 14 years. She was so used to this power that she had almost forgotten about the existence of an underage property protection law. Only when she heard her husband’s words did she realize that Yu Huang had no way out!

“Are we just going to suffer in silence?”

Yu Rufeng couldn’t come up with a solution for the time being, so he decided to remain silent.

Li Pingping tugged at the corner of her skirt. She got an idea and said, “No, I must think of a way to get this money back!”

–

Yu Huang held a parasol and stood at the entrance of the hospital. She stared at the bustling crowd on the side of the road and felt extremely satisfied. She finally helped the Host get rid of her adoptive parents’ family. Yu Huang felt relaxed all over.

The couple was like gangrene that relied on Yu Huang’s flesh and blood as food. They had to be removed as soon as possible.

At that moment, her phone rang. Yu Huang opened her phone and saw a message from Lin Sha: “Your mother called the production team to collect the compensation. What happened? Didn’t the money enter your account?”

Yu Huang thought about how furious they were when they found out the truth. She smiled and told Lin Sha, “That’s not my mother anymore. We’ve cut ties.”

After sending the message, Yu Huang put her phone away. She wasn’t afraid that Lin Sha would spread the news and cause even more trouble.

She took out a coin-sized card from her pocket and looked at it curiously. This was the bank card of this world. On the round card, there was a faintly discernible Chinese rose. The card contained her 15 million yuan.

Yu Huang put away the card and prepared to leave. However, she fell into a daze again.

Where could she go?

To Yu Huang, this was an unfamiliar world. To the original owner, she was an orphan. If she left the Yu family, she would have no home.

The world was so big, yet there was no place for her to settle down.

Yu Huang waved for a taxi and was about to leave when she saw a man with a walking stick standing on the road opposite her. The man’s left calf was amputated and his empty pants swayed in the breeze.

Yu Huang’s gaze froze slightly.

That person…

Yu Huang found a familiar crippled figure in the Host’s distant memories.

That was the Host’s crippled father, Yu Donghai.

Yu Huang retracted her hand and started sizing up the man across the road.

The man was wearing a loose dark gray shirt and a straw hat on his head. There was a gray beard around his mouth, and he gave off a gloomy vibe.

Upon seeing this person, Yu Huang could feel that the Host’s heart was in anguish.. Perhaps in the Host’s heart, her crippled father was her real family.
