Chapter 802: Chapter 802: No One Doesn’t Love Money

"Shut up!" Mrs. Huo lost her earlier grace, her expression very stern, "Qilin is perfectly fine, there’s nothing wrong at all!"

Qilin had just been in a car accident, and he had almost died from losing too much blood...

Now, hearing Bingbing’s words felt like a curse on Qilin, which infuriated her greatly.

"It’s good that he is fine." Bingbing sighed in relief, then hesitantly looked at Mrs. Huo again, probing, "Then, Auntie you..."

Having endured the recent events, Mrs. Huo was tired of wasting words and went straight to the true purpose of their meeting. She asked, "Are you and Qilin dating?"

"I..." Bingbing pursed her lips, unsure whether to admit it.

If she admitted it, would that count as meeting his parents?

But their relationship hadn’t progressed to the point of meeting the parents yet.

Seeing her hesitant manner, Mrs. Huo found her even less impressive, her impatience evident, "What? Is it so hard to answer that question? If yes, then yes, If no, then no. Why are you making this so trivial?"

Faced with these accusations, Bingbing’s face turned red, and she nodded, admitting, "Yes."

There was nothing shameful about her relationship with Qilin; they just hadn’t gone public because they were both celebrities and didn’t want too much public attention on their relationship.

Seeing her admission, Mrs. Huo’s expression became ominous.

Despite having seen Qilin holding Bingbing in the hospital last time and knowing that Qilin had been resistant to meeting girls from reputable families that his mother introduced, she had already guessed that Qilin had some romantic involvement.

Now that Bingbing had confirmed it herself, Mrs. Huo felt even worse.

In her view, Bingbing was completely unworthy of Qilin, and she would never approve of their relationship.

Mrs. Huo’s face darkened, and she tossed her coffee onto the table. The coffee splashed onto Bingbing, but she didn’t care and said emotionlessly, "Name your price."

Bingbing was startled by the coffee stains on her and immediately grabbed a tissue to wipe them off.

Hearing Mrs. Huo’s words, she was taken aback, asking instinctively, "Name a price? What price?"

Could it be the cost of the coffee they had today? Was she planning to give her the money?

Mrs. Huo grew impatient, thinking she was feigning ignorance, her expression turning colder.

She left no room for Bingbing to pretend, and said bluntly, "How much money do you want to break up with Qilin?"

Bingbing shook her head, her expression resolute, "Auntie, I don’t want money!"

She wasn’t lacking money at all, she had no great desire for it, the money she earned was enough for her expenses and to take care of the child she was carrying, not to mention she also owned shares in a company.

Mrs. Huo scoffed at her words.

"Fifty million, is that enough?" she asked disdainfully.

Bingbing stubbornly said, "I have enough money."

"Eighty million!" Mrs. Huo continued to up the ante.

Bingbing shook her head again.

Mrs. Huo clenched her teeth, her tone carrying a hint of an annoyed warning, "My final offer is one billion, don’t be too greedy!"

Bingbing replied firmly, "Aunty, not even one billion, not even ten billion, not even a hundred billion would interest me. Qilin and I are not together for money, and if we do part ways in the future, it will only be because of problems in our feelings, not because of money."

Mrs. Huo scoffed disdainfully, "Stop pretending. If you weren’t interested in money or fame, you wouldn’t have entered the entertainment industry, this glitzy field. What’s with this innocent damsel act now? I’ve seen plenty of women like you, if not a hundred, then eighty."

In her view, there was no one who didn’t love money.

The reason Bingbing refused the money was merely because she greedily wanted to marry into the Huo Family, to enter a wealthy household, to want more.

"Aunty, you really misunderstand me," Bingbing shook her head, denying it.

Her reason for entering the entertainment industry wasn’t to gain fame and fortune, but because her parents refused to fund her education, forcing her to abandon her dream college and drop out to work.

She wanted to make enough money to support herself and avoid her parents marrying her off for a dowry, so she had to work hard to show them her worth and prevent them from forcing her into marriage.

With the help of Xia Qingtian and Qilin, she was freed from her parents’ constant pressure to earn a lot of money, and she felt that she didn’t need much money, just enough to get by.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Huo couldn’t understand her.

Mrs. Huo looked at her with a face full of scorn, "Whatever you say, I will not believe a word. Today I am still willing to give you one billion to break up with Qilin, but if you insist on refusing my offer, don’t blame me for being rude. Qilin is my son, and I know him best. I have plenty of ways to make him break up with you, and then, you will end up with nothing, neither husband nor riches."

Bingbing pursed her lips, her face defiant as she looked into her eyes, "Aunty, what you do is out of my control, and whether or not I leave Qilin is not for you to decide."

"Alright, alright, alright, you are officially declaring war on me, then. I hope you won’t regret this in the future!" Mrs. Huo nodded furiously, then took out several large bills from her purse, slapped them on the table, and left a message before turning and leaving the restaurant.

After Mrs. Huo’s figure had disappeared from the restaurant, Xia Qingtian immediately came forward and sat in the spot Mrs. Huo had just vacated, giving Bingbing a thumbs up.

"Bingbing, you really did it," she said, her face full of praise, "Your performance just now truly impressed me."

She had never expected the typically soft Bingbing to show such a strong side, to the point of offending Mrs. Huo enough to storm off.

She had been worried Bingbing would be at a disadvantage, but now it seemed her worries had been completely unnecessary.

Hearing her words, the previously strong Bingbing suddenly slumped in her seat.

"Qingtian Sister, I’m done for!" Bingbing looked towards Xia Qingtian with a mournful face, her tone filled with despair, "My actions just now have totally offended Mrs. Huo; she must hate me immensely right now."

Seeing her so frightened, Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

Sure enough, Bingbing was still Bingbing, always timid and sensitive, handsome for no more than three seconds.

"What’s there to fear?" she said nonchalantly, "You saw Mrs. Huo’s attitude towards your relationship with Qilin. No matter how much you try to please her, it’s useless; you might as well do what makes you happy."
