Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 527 - 508: Inciting Dissension

Huo Anya received a phone call at noon.

"Are you Chu Tingting?" Huo Anya guessed her identity from the sound of her voice.

"It’s me. I heard that today Huo Yanting went to propose? Do you know how much the bride price was?" Chu Tingting didn’t bother with pleasantries and directly pried into the matter.

Huo Anya didn’t have much affection for this woman either, but regarding the matter of her engagement being revoked, there was a shred of sympathy for Chu Tingting.

Maybe because both had men stolen by Lin Banxia, Huo Anya felt that Chu Tingting’s complete defeat was truly pathetic.

"Why are you asking about this? Besides, this is an internal matter of the Huo Family, why should I tell you?" Huo Anya wasn’t naive enough to answer without conditions.

"Because I’m unwilling to accept it. I just want to know how much bride price the Huo Family gave. Back then, your grandmother said she would give me two billion as the bride price. Is Lin Banxia’s bride price more than mine?" Chu Tingting asked with a sorrowful tone. Actually, she was smart. This was a tactic purposely employed to extract a concrete figure.

Huo Anya couldn’t help but laugh sarcastically. "Oh, really? Well, it seems like Lin Banxia is worth more than you! As far as I know, just the assets my cousin gave her far exceed that two billion."

Chu Tingting suddenly fell silent. In truth, the matriarch had never mentioned bride money to her; she had just blurted out a figure randomly. She thought two billion sounded substantial enough; at least, it was her ideal amount.

However, just now, although Huo Anya didn’t give a precise number, she indicated it was far more than two billion. Clearly, Huo Yanting was exceedingly generous to Lin Banxia.

"Chu Tingting..." Huo Anya uttered her name, but only heard the sound of the call being disconnected.

She sneered, "Deliberately calling to provoke herself, truly pathetic!"

After hanging up on Huo Anya, Chu Tingting’s face turned pale, her eyes brimming with rage and hatred.

Her fists clenched tightly, her expression one filled with a murderous rage. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable!" She ground her teeth furiously.

However, she quickly calmed down. She wasn’t about to let Lin Banxia live her life peacefully.

So, she needed to create a little trouble for her. Wasn’t Lin Banxia merely a daughter of the Lin Family before? Now married, all the bride price was given to her aunt’s family. No doubt, the Lin Family would feel unconvinced too. Thinking of this, Chu Tingting immediately dialed Lin Shiyi’s number.

At this moment, Lin Shiyi was at home, resentfully scrolling through various online reports.

Lin Banxia had finally married Huo Yanting. Looking at a photo unintentionally taken during the banquet—although a little blurry—Lin Banxia’s blissful demeanor as she leaned into the man’s embrace was deeply wounding to the eyes.

Cheng Rouyin’s mood was similarly sour, feeling as though fate had mercilessly bullied her entire family, leaving them wrapped in a suffocating gloom.

And Lin Kunhuai’s situation was even worse. The one billion he had obtained from Huo Yanting had been fully spent on repaying bank debts and investing in ventures. But for some reason, everything had disastrously failed. Now, his company faced an even graver crisis, with no longer any capital to maintain operations. He sat at home, chain-smoking to ease his frustrations.

Cheng Rouyin stood behind her daughter, her heart aching as she observed Lin Shiyi’s increasingly haggard appearance.

"Stop looking, stop looking. What’s the point of obsessing over it?" Cheng Rouyin hurriedly snatched her daughter’s phone and tossed it onto the bed.

Lin Shiyi buried her face in her hands, crying out in despair, "Mom, why? Why can Lin Banxia marry Huo Yanting while I can’t even meet him? I refuse to accept this!"
