"Huang De Han's eyes flickered with a strong murderous intent. If both Li Man and her mother were to die, their daughter Huang Duo Duo would inherit the entire family fortune.
With the money, he could take his daughter abroad and start a new and prosperous life.
Hearing Huang De Han's words, Huang Duo Duo felt a sense of fear. Her grandmother had been kind to her, and she didn't want anything bad to happen to her.
"Dad, Grandma has been really good to me. Please don't wish her death," Huang Duo Duo said sadly. "She bought me so many things and even offered to support my education abroad."
"You foolish child, how can I make you understand?" Huang De Han cajoled. "If your grandma dies, her money will be yours. You will have your own wealth, buy whatever you want, study wherever you like, and you won't have to answer to anyone."
Although Huang Duo Duo had a rebellious streak, her heart wasn't that cruel. She spoke unhappily, "Dad, please stop. If you keep talking like this, I won't be happy."
Afraid of upsetting his daughter, Huang De Han quickly said, "Alright, alright, Dad won't say it anymore. But think about it for yourself, whether what Dad said is right or not."
Huang Duo Duo replied, "Dad, what you said is wrong. Grandma has been good to me. Even if she doesn't die, she would still be willing to give me money. So, I don't want her to die."
Huang De Han didn't want to argue with his daughter about this matter and said, "Fine, I won't say it anymore. That's it then. Dad will hang up now and call you another day."
"Okay, bye, Dad," Huang Duo Duo said.
Before hanging up, Huang De Han reminded her, "Remember, don't tell your mom about what Dad said today, okay?"
"Don't worry, Dad. I won't tell Mom," Huang Duo Duo replied.
Only then did Huang De Han hang up the phone, feeling relieved.
After hanging up, Huang Duo Duo deleted the call records between her and Huang De Han. She was afraid of being discovered by Li Man.
She opened the door and saw Zhang Yan sitting alone on the sofa. She walked over and sweetly called out, "Grandma."
Zhang Yan's sad face instantly brightened up, and she happily responded, "Duo Duo, didn't you say you wanted to go out and play in the snow?"
Huang Duo Duo sat down beside Zhang Yan and said, "I changed my mind. I want to stay home and keep you company, Grandma."
Zhang Yan was deeply moved, thinking that it was not in vain that she had cared for Huang Duo Duo.
Huang Duo Duo turned on the TV, and the two of them watched it together, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.
...
After watching a movie, Li Man and Huo Jian Sheng went shopping at a supermarket.
With the Spring Festival just half a month away, Li Man bought quite a lot of things.
When it was time to pay, Huo Jian Sheng tried to settle the bill but was stopped by Li Man. "No, let me do it."
Saying that, she opened her phone and had the cashier scan the QR code.
Huo Jian Sheng helplessly said, "Why do you have to split the bill with me? Can't you let me take care of it? It's just a small amount of money."
Li Man pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "I'll pay for the small expenses, and you can pay for the big ones. Isn't that fair?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Jian Sheng felt relieved and happily said, "Okay, deal!"
"Li Man was truly different from the other women he had met. She wasn't materialistic or greedy for money. Whenever they went out together, she never made any demands or asked for anything. If he treated her to a milk tea, she would insist on treating him to a meal next time.
She simply didn't want to take advantage of him.
Last week, when he gave her a designer handbag, she immediately took him to a mall and bought him a set of clothes."
