Chapter 42: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!
Chapter 42: No Longer Covering Li Qingxue's Expenses
Seeing Shen Cheng holding up her mobile QR code, not only was Huo Xinglang dumbfounded, but even the Li sisters were shocked and unsure how to react.
What kind of shamelessness was this? Sure, they had seen people without shame, but this level was unprecedented!
Was this still Shen Cheng? Why did she suddenly feel like a scoundrel masquerading in her guise?
In contrast, Huo Xingjian remained unfazed, as though he had grown accustomed to such scenes.
If this had been the past, he might have thought Shen Cheng's behavior utterly disgraceful.
For a mere fifty million, was it really worth stooping so low?
But now, he felt her actions were incredibly satisfying—especially when targeting Huo Xinglang. It was absolutely spot on!
"Xingjian, does your wife lack money?" Huo Xinglang finally reacted, turning to Huo Xingjian with a meaningful smile. "Are you withholding funds from her?"
As he spoke, he pulled out a bank card and handed it to Shen Cheng, his smile still warm and amiable.
"Xingjian can be so stingy, refusing to let his wife spend freely. I mean, look how generous he is when it comes to paying Li Qingxue's medical bills."
"Here, take this card. While it doesn’t have fifty million, you can spend a million a month from it."
"If that's still not enough—"
"Cousin," Huo Yushu interrupted, her tone sharp, "is it that you didn’t understand what my sister-in-law said, or is your comprehension just poor?"

"I think your problem is with understanding!"
"This fifty million isn't some allowance you’re offering my sister-in-law. It’s the compensation for the damages your actions caused to the company."
"And mind you, my sister-in-law has already reported the lowest possible loss. Considering the family ties, this is merely a warning."
"If this were anyone else, causing such significant losses would justify filing a report and letting the authorities handle it."
"But how did this suddenly turn into a case of my brother being miserly and neglecting his wife? My brother would never do such a thing!"
"My brother adores his wife. He even handed her the main credit card!"
"And regarding Li Qingxue's medical bills..." Yushu paused dramatically.
Li Qingxue felt her heart skip a beat, an ominous premonition creeping in.
"These two and a half years of medical expenses? Let’s just consider it payment for the small favor Li Qingxue did for my brother. Actually, no—it’s not a favor, but a burden, a source of stress, and pure self-importance."
"We don’t lack the money, so let’s call it charity work."
"But starting today, all of Li Qingxue's future expenses will no longer be covered by us."
What?!
The Li sisters were stunned.
No longer covering her medical expenses?
How was that even possible? They couldn’t possibly afford such exorbitant costs on their own.
"Xingjian..." Li Qingxue, tears brimming in her eyes, looked at him with pitiful vulnerability.
She was the epitome of sorrow, tugging at anyone's heartstrings.
Huo Xingjian nodded in agreement. "Yushu is absolutely right. Now that you've woken up and seem to have recovered well, I believe I’ve fulfilled my obligations as an ordinary friend."
"If this continues, it’s bound to cause misunderstandings. I’ll instruct Zhang Hui to liaise with the hospital and withdraw from any involvement in your affairs moving forward."
[What on earth? Is this man crazy? He’s actually cutting off ties with his beloved 'white moonlight'?]
[What kind of plot twist is this? It’s honestly baffling...]
"Brother Xingjian, you can’t—"
"Miss Li, you need to control your sister!" Huo Xingjian coldly interrupted her, his tone sharp and his expression devoid of emotion.
"To act so rudely in front of my wife—unacceptable."
"An’an, don’t make things difficult for President Huo..." Li Qingxue said with a pained smile, her expression filled with bitter resignation.
Yushu, however, was unrelenting, pushing Huo Xinglang's hand holding the bank card back to him.
"Sister-in-law, I think we should forget about the fifty million. Clearly, Cousin prefers a professional, businesslike approach. There’s no need for us to ingratiate ourselves with someone who’s so cold-hearted."

"Then call the police! Do whatever you think is right!"
"I misspoke," Huo Xinglang quickly said, pulling out his phone to scan Shen Cheng's payment code, making a quick transfer.
Soon, Shen Cheng's phone notified her that fifty million had been credited.
[Ah! Ah! Ah! Is it really this easy to make money? Fifty million just like that?!]
[Hmm, I’ll need to find a way to scam more money out of Huo Xinglang!]
[Wait! Not just Huo Xinglang, I should find a way to get money from the entire Huo family!]
[Money, who wouldn’t want more? This is my god! God, come to me—more, the better! I’ll be so gentle with you, I won’t complain about the amount!]
Huo Xingjian: "..."
He was stunned to realize just now how money-hungry Shen Cheng was.
It was only fifty million, yet she was acting like she had just gained the world.
"Today, I’ll let it go for my wife’s sake. But cousin, be more careful with your words next time. Careless words can bring disasters!" Huo Xingjian said coldly, his face expressionless as he looked at Huo Xinglang.
Before Huo Xinglang could respond, Huo Xingjian grabbed Shen Cheng's wrist and led her toward the office.
Naturally, Huo Yushu quickly followed.
Watching their retreating figures, Huo Xinglang furrowed his brows, his expression darkening.
"..."
Li An An was about to speak, but upon meeting Huo Xinglang's cold gaze, she froze, terrified, nearly collapsing onto the floor.
"Miss Li, Xingjian has left. Are you not going to follow him?" Huo Xinglang’s voice was chilling.
Li Qingxue snapped to attention. "An'an, push me to Xingjian’s office."
Her gaze lingered on Huo Xinglang, filled with both affection and bitterness.
In the office
This was Shen Cheng’s first time entering Huo Xingjian’s office.
Although she had shamelessly pursued him for years and they had been married for three years, Huo Xingjian had never allowed her to come to his workplace.
Shen Cheng knew well that it was his boundary, and she had never dared to overstep.
Looking around the office, she thought:
[It’s just like that gloomy man’s personality—black, white, and gray, with no bright colors.]
[Wait, wasn’t Huo Xingjian’s office supposed to be decorated according to Li Qingxue’s tastes?]
[Doesn’t Li Qingxue’s heart house a delicate little princess? Didn’t she love pink, princessy things?]
[Ugh! I can’t even imagine—Huo Xingjian, a grown man, with a whole office full of deathly Barbie pink!]
Shen Cheng shivered, a look of disgust naturally appearing in her eyes.
[As expected, Huo Xingjian is a man with a masochistic tendency and a love-struck brain.]
[In the later stages, he clearly knew Li Qingxue’s heart was with Huo Xinglang, but he still willingly remained her confidant, her forever backup.]
[Every time Li Qingxue suffered even a little hurt from Huo Xinglang, he would go on a mad rampage, protecting her and fighting back.]
[Too bad, no matter how much he did, Li Qingxue would never like him!]
"Brother, I look down on you!" Huo Yushu's angry, disdainful voice rang out.
