Chapter 666: Chapter 667 Sister Like Mother 84_1

Huang Lina had just gotten off the plane, wondering how to tell her patron that she hadn’t gained anything this time.

In fact, she was really too scared to speak, worrying that if she said so, the patron would cut her off completely.

Unexpectedly, nobody came to pick her up, so she called the patron, wanting to ask about the situation.

But to her surprise, her calls didn’t go through; at first, she thought it was just a busy signal, but after several attempts, the calls still weren’t connecting.

She thought about it and decided to call the company’s reception desk, but no one answered there either.

After calling around, finally someone picked up and quickly explained the patron’s family’s situation.

Huang Lina hadn’t expected the patron’s situation to be so dire, and she was truly shocked.

Zhao Mei, seeing her complexion change dramatically, said, "Li Na, Li Na, what’s wrong?"

Huang Lina, who couldn’t care less about talking to Zhao Mei at that moment, truly regretted not spending more on credit cards while in America.

If she had bought just a little more stuff, at least she wouldn’t have to worry and could have gotten by for a while.

It didn’t matter now; she needed to shop and went on a spree, buying a lot of things. But when it came time to pay, she found her card had been frozen.

With the card frozen, Huang Lina’s face was as ugly as it could get. If even a big boss could have her card frozen by the bank, could the situation be any good?

Even though Zhao Mei didn’t have a credit card, she knew that if this card couldn’t be used, there must be a problem.

Zhao Mei kept pressing Huang Lina for answers. Already distressed, Huang Lina got irritated by the incessant questioning, "What are you asking for, you don’t understand anything!"

Huang Lina couldn’t help but panic, now relieved that she at least had moved out of the small villa; otherwise, all of her valuable things would have been gone.

But with just those few possessions, how long could she hold out? "Mom, what shall we do?"

Huang Lina, tearfully, turned to Zhao Mei, who also panicked. After all, she’d thought, even if her son-in-law was a bit older, at least he was wealthy.

But she hadn’t expected him to abscond like this, seeing the pitiful Huang Lina looking towards her, Zhao Mei suddenly came to her senses.

During these days accompanying Huang Lina, Zhao Mei realized how freely her daughter spent money, never hesitating.

She always wanted the best food, best clothes, best entertainment—in short, she spent money without batting an eye.

Zhao Mei did have some money, but even if she sold the house, it wouldn’t last long.

Especially since Huang Man wasn’t the soft-hearted type. If she said she would stop caring, she would, even going as far as to stop remittances and advise them to sue her in court.

Zhao Mei of course knew that if the court were involved, based on her monthly rental income, they wouldn’t force her to pay more than she currently did.

"How should I know what to do? For now, why don’t you go back to working at the nightclub?" Zhao Mei hesitated before suggesting this solution.

What? Go back to working at the nightclub? Huang Lina was furious. "Why do you think that’s the only job I can do?"

She thought about asking Huang Man for a job, as a personal assistant or secretary—it made one seem like a person of status.

Although she didn’t understand the English they spoke, she wished she could speak fluent English as well.

Don’t want to work at the nightclub? Zhao Mei also felt it was very shameful for Huang Lina to work there.

But the issue was, "With only a junior high education, if you don’t work at the nightclub, what can you do?"

"With your kind of spending, do you think the job you found can cover your expenses?"

Huo Huo sighed helplessly, "I know what you’re thinking, and I actually don’t want you to work at the nightclub either. It doesn’t sound good when word gets out."

"But don’t you think staying and working at the nightclub at least gives you a chance to meet rich people?"

"If you’re just an ordinary worker, how many rich people can you meet? Can they buy you the things you want?"

"Later, you’ll have to go to work to earn money, take care of your in-laws, do housework, care for your man, and also educate your children."

"Just like many ordinary people, do you think you can bear it?" Huo Huo knew Huang Lina’s temperament and where her weaknesses lay.

Although Huang Lina was still very reluctant, she also knew that with her job-hunting prospects, she couldn’t possibly find a good job.

Other than returning to work at the nightclub, she really had nowhere else to go. Resigned, she let out a soft sigh, "Mom, I understand."

"Mom, I’m really not reconciled. Why can she be a big boss with a fortune in billions of US dollars."

"And I don’t even have my own house." Huang Lina knew Huo Huo had several properties under her name and wondered if she could get one.

How could Huo Huo be willing to transfer a property to her? She rolled her eyes, not mincing her words, "When you had money, you just squandered it, eating and dressing well."

"Those designer things you bought, who knows how many houses they could have bought."

"Not asking you for money for my retirement is already good enough, the houses are definitely not going to you." Huo Huo was now determined to keep a tight hold on the properties.

No matter how much Huang Lina cried poverty, pleaded, and made promises, Huo Huo wouldn’t budge an inch.

"Alright, I’m going back." Not wanting to continue the conversation with Huang Lina, Huo Huo took a cab and was ready to leave.

Seeing her preparing to leave, Huang Lina quickly followed her into the car.

"Mom, please let me stay for a few days." The rent was paid for half a year, but if she went back, everything else would cost money.

Huang Lina also wanted to go back and mend her relationship with Huo Huo. Even if she couldn’t get a house, she could at least save some expenses.

Watching Huang Lina who refused to leave, Huo Huo curled her lips, refraining from saying anything unpleasant.

After staying at home for a few days, Huang Lina found that Huo Huo steadfastly refused to relent. Although disappointed, she set her mind not to ignore Huo Huo.

After all, she couldn’t let the old lady’s assets fall into the hands of strangers, like Tian Zhiguo’s family. During her days at home, she noticed that Tian Zhiguo’s son and daughter often came over.

Huang Lina was on guard, not wanting to end up working hard only for Huo Huo’s properties and money to go to Tian Zhiguo’s family.

Although she went back to work at the nightclub, even if she considered herself well-maintained, she was, after all, getting older, and very few people wanted to invite her to their table.

Without going out to entertain customers, there wasn’t much commission, and her income was minimal, which made Huang Lina, once the face of the nightclub, very unhappy and feeling a loss of face.

But what could she do? Other than seizing every opportunity when going out to entertain customers, she had also learned to swallow her pride and to read people’s expressions.

Previously, when she worked at the nightclub, she would take a day off whenever she was in a bad mood or not feeling well.

But now, Huang Lina didn’t have the capital or the confidence and had to go to work as long as she was able to get up.

All Huang Lina could think about now was to save money if she ever earned it again in the future, and not to squander it all away as she had done before.

But she didn’t know if she would get such an opportunity again. Huang Lina greeted people warmly, over and over again.
