Chapter 14

Mrs. Huo looked at her with complicated eyes. She was a little unclear about this daughter-in-law.

When the eldest son wanted to marry her earlier, she was unwilling. But the old madame insisted and the eldest son had also agreed to it, so she could only let it go.

But what kind of person did he bring back as a bride? She wore a long face every day, like a ghost. If it wasn\'t for the fact that she was still breathing, she would have thought the family was raising a piece of wood that could breathe!

The eldest son tried to please her three or five times, but she didn\'t buy any of it at all. She hid in the room all day and never came out or greeted anyone she saw.

How did she suddenly seem to have come to her senses these past two days?

"Mother, Mei Shu, don\'t be angry. I will explain the matter of the jade pendant at an appropriate time. It is really important to me. I also know the amount is very large. I will definitely try my best to pay it back."

Rong Dai saw that Wang Ma had treated her wound well, and Mrs. Huo and Huo Mei Shu\'s expressions had also eased up. She also felt slightly relieved.

Fortunately, this was a rich aristocratic family, and they had decent upbringing as a foundation.

If she had met a more hot-tempered mother-in-law, it would have been hard to deal with. Her trick of playing the victim and lowering herself wouldn\'t have worked.

"Please forgive me for my previous impoliteness. It was really because my mother passed away... From now on I will be a good daughter-in-law of the Huo family. Please rest assured, mother."

This was the most suitable time to declare her stance. She could tell that Mrs. Huo was well-educated, otherwise with this kind of incident, others would have likely already lashed out.

She didn\'t expect to be as close as mother and daughter with Mrs. Huo, she just hoped the other party wouldn\'t make things difficult for her, so she could peacefully live out this year in the Huo family.

Seeing her sincere attitude, and also thinking of her bleak life experience, the anger on Mrs. Huo\'s face also disappeared. But she still spoke with an air of sternness, "I\'ll let it go this time, don\'t let it happen again. Go upstairs and tidy up, go see how your grandmother is doing."

She had already lowered her stance so much. If she was still overbearing, what would that make her?

"Mom, what are you guys arguing about? I rarely come back once, and I can\'t even get a good sleep?"

Just as Rong Dai was about to go upstairs, a lazy and rich male voice rang out from upstairs. Huo Shao Jie walked out of his room wearing only a bath towel, with a hint of charm in his laziness.

"Sister-in-law!" Huo Shao Jie immediately greeted her with a smile when he saw her.

Rong Dai found it difficult to accept a strange man being naked in front of her, and quickly avoided looking at him, "Shao Jie, hello."

This was Huo Shao Ting\'s younger brother, Huo Shao Jie.

Based on the original host\'s limited memories, he seemed to be a very good actor. Hmm...what they called a performer in her previous life.

Rong Dai also didn\'t expect that performers could be so popular in this era.

After greeting him, she hurried upstairs.

"Has sister-in-law changed her nature?" Huo Shao Jie rubbed his hair and looked at Mrs. Huo and Huo Mei Shu in puzzlement.

"How would I know? She\'s just a weirdo." Huo Mei Shu was also puzzled herself. Thinking that Huo Shao Jie had not fulfilled any of the things he had promised her, she was too lazy to pay him any attention and also went upstairs.

Mrs. Huo looked at the IOU on the table and hesitated before putting it away.

"Mom, you can\'t be really asking sister-in-law to repay it right? This was voluntary by my brother. Don\'t you know what kind of person he is? Who could trick or force him?" Huo Shao Jie was shocked when he saw this.

"Mind your own business. Don\'t worry about these things. Neither of you brothers have given me any peace of mind." Mrs. Huo glanced at him unpleasantly and walked away with the IOU.

Huo Shao Jie tried unsuccessfully and shrugged to himself before going to the kitchen to find food.

Rong Dai entered the room and took off her clothes, carefully removing the jewelry from her body.

Without having figured out everything about this world, she had somehow shouldered a debt of over a billion yuan, which gave Rong Dai a headache.

Just as she opened the wardrobe to change clothes, she saw that her originally dark-colored clothes were gone, replaced by dozens of exquisite clothes still hanging with price tags.

Her mind buzzed as she suddenly remembered what Huo Mei Shu had said downstairs - Huo Shao Ting had almost bought the entire shopping mall!

She hurried to check the prices on these tags, and her heart chilled with each one she looked at.

Was Huo Shao Ting planning to crush her under the debt?

Rong Dai felt chills run down her spine repeatedly, but she clearly knew that she didn\'t have the right to resist. Otherwise if she angered Huo Shao Ting, she would only have the option of packing up and leaving.

The clothes she used to have were already cleaned out, and...wearing a dead person\'s clothes was indeed a little creepy.

Rong Dai sighed softly. She had previously promised Huo Shao Ting some things, and estimated that there would still be many opportunities to attend events with him in the future. She couldn\'t wear the same outfit every time.

Since these clothes were bought, they were bought. At most she would keep accounts and pay him back item by item until it was all cleared. She was sure she could pay it all back.

She thought it through clearly, and selected a casual goose yellow outfit to change into. She was going to find a box to put away this set of diamond jewelry to return to Huo Shao Ting later.

But she saw the various exquisite jewelry neatly arranged on the dressing table. Each piece was top quality. Although they couldn\'t compare to some of the rare treasures she had seen in her previous life, even just one or two pieces here made one\'s scalp tingle at the price.

Especially for a poor person like her.

Rong Dai felt a chill down her spine. She hurriedly took out her phone and calculated the prices of the clothes in the closet one by one, plus these jewelry, plus the 80,000 yuan clothing from the mall, plus the 100 million yuan, and so on.

Her whole body felt cold. She began to wonder if she had been too arrogant saying she would pay back the money.

Almost 2 billion yuan...

Even if she sold herself, it wouldn\'t make a dent.

Rong Dai felt helpless. She sat on the bed sighing deeply, but she also clearly knew that she didn\'t have the right to resist. Otherwise, provoking Huo Shao Ting would only result in her having to pack up and leave.

She hadn\'t seen Huo Shao Ting for a full two days, and she had also lost sleep for two days, even losing quite a bit of hair.

Whenever she laid down, the long string of numbers for the 20 billion yuan debt appeared in her mind. Especially when she thought of her current penniless state, Rong Dai felt immense pressure.

"Sister-in-law, what\'s wrong with you these two days? You look so terrible. Are you suffocating at home? Do you want to come to the set with me for some fresh air? My brother is a busy man. It\'s normal to not see him for ten days or half a month. Don\'t take it to heart."

Huo Shao Jie was eating breakfast in the dining room. Seeing her coming down looking dejected with dark circles under her eyes, he couldn\'t help asking her.
