Chapter 379: It Seems You Want To Do It The Hard Way!

Huo Yao crossed her arms and stood where she was with a glacial look in her amorous eyes. He Xiaoman’s indifferent and proud demeanor weakened immediately.

He Xiaoman clutched her purse before giving her a disdainful look. She cleared her throat. “Let me get to the point. An audio recording of Xiaxia’s conversation with someone went online simply because she was used. Go back and tell your brother that this matter ends here. Don’t go too far and make it difficult for all of us.”

She only learned today that one of the Huo family’s sons was a celebrity. Judging from the pretty boy’s garish pictures online, he did not seem like a serious artiste.

“Are you dreaming or something?” said Huo Yao nonchalantly.

He Xiaoman did not care about her foster daughter’s attitude. She straightened her curly hair and replied calmly. “You should think about it carefully for the sake of your older brother’s career.”

She was starting to throw up blatant threats.

Huo Yao looked at her quietly.

He Xiaoman glanced at her before she continued. “Oh yes. Your parents are just regular office employees, right? If your brother is willing to post an announcement online to clarify matters, I can let those parents of yours work at a subsidiary office of ours. As for their salary, it will definitely beat what they make now.”

Although that couple had pretended that they did not give a hoot about the cheque she offered them, most probably they had been insatiably greedy and expected more.

Huo Yao recalled how her lovely parents kept transferring tens of thousands to her randomly and the so-called unlimited black card, which she had yet to touch...

She asked the arrogant woman in front of her. “How much can Lu Corp pay?”

A proud look appeared on He Xiaoman’s face instantly. She pondered for a few seconds and said, “$5...”

Huo Yao raised her brow. “$50 000?”

He Xiaoman was about to say $5000 but went speechless. “...”

Huo Yao rubbed her chin before she added in a scornful voice. “That isn’t much.”

After all, her old man was capable of buying a luxury car worth tens of millions with his so-called quarterly bonus.

Hence, $50 000 did not sound like much.

He Xiaoman laughed angrily. “$50 000? Do you think my business is some charity?”

A $5000 paycheck for a normal employee was already a generous sum. How could she dream of getting $50 000?

Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. “You can’t even afford to pay $50 000. What kind of business are you operating?”

He Xiaoman felt as though something was choking her when she heard Huo Yao’s statement. A long while later, she inhaled deeply and said, “Think about it carefully. Your brother’s future and your parents’ jobs are on the line...”

Huo Yao raised her hand. “Sorry. Threats don’t work on me.”

“It seems you want to do it the hard way!” He Xiaoman lost all her patience.

Huo Yao nodded and said airily, “I’m super scared.”

He Xiaoman frowned and stammered. “You...”

Chen Yu was anxious as she waited next door. She felt instinctively that Huo Yao’s foster mother was not a very nice person, so she walked out worriedly.

The moment she reached the door, she heard her student saying she was scared.

Chen Yu’s face instantly sank. Huo Yao was always such a good kid that every family would love to have her. How could her foster mother threaten her?

This was too much.

Chen Yu walked into the office and interrupted sternly. “Madam, please don’t hold her up any longer since she has classes to attend.”
