Chapter Twenty-Three: Selling Daughters

As soon as Guan Xuyao came out, his gaze immediately intertwined with Guan Moxin standing downstairs. Guan Moxin saw all kinds of complex emotions of surprise, panic, and guilt in his eyes.

The air seemed to condense at this moment.

"You raised her so big, what's the embarrassment of asking her for a little money! She's your own daughter!" Du Congrong's face also flashed inside the door.

She saw Du Congrong's scarlet-painted lips one by one.

"Shut up!" Guan Xuyao's brows seemed to be pressed with a thick layer of haze, and he yelled at Du Congrong angrily.

When Du Congrong saw her, a thin layer of uneasiness immediately appeared on her face. But she quickly adjusted herself and walked down the stairs.

"Xinxin, you're here. ”

She was silent, with a defensive, angry expression on her face.

"Let's eat. I cooked your favorite Coke chicken wings. Du Congrong's face was very calm, as if her quarrel with Guan Xuyao had never existed.

She raised her head and glared at Guan Xuyao, her father was lowering his eyelids at the moment, and he didn't even dare to look at her. Her heart felt like it was pierced with a needle and awl. The whole family banner hanging on the wall is a joke.

But she still came to the table, and sure enough, there was a table of delicious food. The lattices of the windows rang violently, and the room was dark and oppressive, and there was a solemn atmosphere.

"Mom He, go and close the window, it's probably going to rain. In order to break this stalemate, Du Congrong tore her throat and shouted.

She sat down at the table in a daze, facing the delicious food of this table, but she had no appetite, and her heart seemed to be pressed by something, and she panicked.

"Eat, Xu Yao, you sit, what are you sitting there. Du Congrong greeted her on the one hand, and called Guan Xuyao who didn't dare to look directly at her.

Out of the corner of her eye, Guan Xuyao sat down opposite her, holding chopsticks, but she didn't know where to start. A chicken wing appeared under her nose and was carried into her bowl.

"Taste it. Auntie has been married to your housekeeper for five years, and it seems that she has never cooked a meal for you. Du Congrong put on a kind face and said softly.

She took a bite of a chicken wing, and it was delicious, but it drained her appetite. Because Du Congrong's elbow was constantly touching Guan Xuyao.

"You ...... Do you have something to say to me?" she couldn't eat anymore, put down her chopsticks, and there was a sour smell in her nose. It seems that this is a Hongmen banquet, and it turns out that Lei Changhao's words are not wrong at all. Is this still her home? Can she still call it her home for Guan Moxin?

"No...... No...... Yes, yes, yes. Du Congrong was unexpectedly thrown out by her words, as if frightened. A bolt of lightning flashed through the window, and the afterglow shone on her heavily makeup face, which was as white as a dead man. "Your dad's business has been plummeting lately. ”

"How much do you want to borrow this time?" her eyes darkened, her expression became desolate, and only her voice was cold and hollow.

"One...... Ten million!" Du Congrong blinked her eyelashes and said quickly.

"Five million would be fine. Guan Xuyao raised his head, removed his glasses and pressed the corners of his eyes. This is his usual action when he feels embarrassed.

"Five million!" her voice grew colder than ice. A powerful, uncanny pain caused her blood to freeze into icicles. Is she a housekeeper or an ATM? Or a cash cow? Last time, 20 million was not enough, and now she is asking for money, and she says that 5 million is enough. Her face contorted slightly, and when she raised her head, there was a smile on her face that was more ugly than crying. "I don't have any money!"

"I know you don't have any money, but your husband does!" Du Congrong stared at her with an incredible look and shouted sharply.

"You mean Lei Changhao?" a cold air rose from her chest, and she felt a chill penetrate her fingertips. "Is he my husband? I should call him brother-in-law in my heart. ”

This sentence was like a bomb, which made Guan Xuyao and Du Congrong look at each other.
