Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Young Master Huo, My Man~

An unexpected slap left An Zhiguo utterly stunned.

Having been struck by his ungrateful daughter, An Zhiguo was far from calm. Just as he was about to return the slap after An Ge’s next words, his hand froze mid-air.

She said, "Does Housekeeper Su know? He’s the chief housekeeper of [Huo Mansion]. He personally accompanied me today. Granny Huo arranged it this way, afraid that you might bully me."

An Zhiguo’s face turned a livid shade out of anger, "Don’t try to use Mrs. Huo to intimidate me. This Huo Family is not hers to control. It’s Young Master Huo’s..."

An Ge sneered.

"So you know the Huo Family so well? Then why didn’t Granny Huo approve of big sister’s marriage to Young Master Huo, and why does he have to comply with her wishes?"

As soon as she finished speaking, An Baoying, who was standing nearby, couldn’t keep it together.

She exclaimed in disbelief, "That’s impossible. I’m carrying the Huo family’s first grandson. Mrs. Huo, who values heirs so much, how could she possibly disagree with my marriage to Young Master Huo?"

At this moment, Bai Meilan chimed in, "An Ge, you need to make yourself clear. What exactly is going on?"

An Ge lifted her eyes and looked at them coldly, asking, "Why did my mom end up like this? Why doesn’t she respond when I call her? Why is she so emaciated? What exactly have you all done to her?"

Bai Meilan was the most astute among them.

She knew that as long as An Baoying hadn’t successfully married into the Huo Family, she couldn’t afford to fall out with An Ge. Therefore, she quickly put on a pleasant face and spoke to An Ge in a gentle tone, "An Ge, it’s like this. Didn’t your mom develop acute leukemia? Recently, everything she eats, she throws up. Even the slightest slip leads to nonstop nosebleeds. She’s only lost weight in the past couple of months. As for her being unconscious, it’s because she went mad and almost attacked the nurse giving her the IV earlier. So, the doctor gave her a sedative to let her sleep. She is usually so frenzied that it’s good for her to rare find some rest to recover."

At this point, Bai Meilan shifted the topic, asking, "An Ge, what did you mean earlier with those words? Why wouldn’t Mrs. Huo approve of this marriage?"

An Zhiguo said coldly, "Is that even a question? It’s surely because this little brat envies our Baoying and deliberately sabotaged us!"

An Baoying, clearly frazzled by An Zhiguo’s words, emotionally lost her composure.

"An Ge, is this your doing? Are you insane? Don’t you care about saving your mother’s life?"

An Ge looked at her coldly, saying, "It wasn’t me. It was your indiscretion, being too intimate with other men and getting caught by Mrs. Huo."

Hearing this, An Baoying’s face turned pale, and her voice trembled, "...What is Young Master Huo’s attitude?"

Seeing her unease, An Ge smirked slightly, "With my assistance, Young Master Huo, of course, declared you innocent."

Upon hearing this, An Baoying breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "You really helped me?"

"What else? If I had truly intended to ruin you, I would have given the audio of you forcing me to take your place in prison to Mrs. Huo. Do you think you’d still have a chance to become the young mistress of the Huo Family’s elite house?"

An Ge added with empathy and logic,

"Big sister, my mother’s life is in your hands. Even if I don’t want to see you living better than me, it’s impossible. Only when you become the young mistress of the Huo Family will Aunt Lan agree to the bone marrow transplant for my mom. So, we are now a community of interests, aren’t we?"

An Ge’s words successfully relieved the tension among the three of them, An Baoying, An Zhiguo, and Bai Meilan.

An Zhiguo realized the importance of An Ge and no longer cared about the slap she had given him earlier.

He asked An Ge, "So, are you saying you have a way to persuade Mrs. Huo to agree to Young Master Huo’s marriage to your big sister?"

An Ge said, "I’ll do my best," pausing for a moment, "However, you can’t expect me to help you with this without any reward."

Bai Meilan, An Baoying, and An Zhiguo almost spoke in unison, "What do you want?"

"Five million," An Ge said, pausing for effect, her tone implying, "As the saying goes, those closest to the water get the moon first. Living under the same roof with Young Master Huo, if I really had any devious intentions, Young Master Huo might just become my man."
