Huo Shaohua raised his eyebrows and smiled, scanning Tian Xingyun from head to toe sarcastically, "Your clothes don't even cost a hundred yuan, and yet you can afford an invitation?"
"I don't need an invitation to get on the cruise!" Tian Xingyun retorted.
What she said was true; she didn't spend a dime to get onto the luxurious cruise.
It's just that she was there to work, which is how she got to enjoy the cruise.
She didn't spend any money; in fact, she made money.
But no, she didn't spend any money, but she did lose her dignity!
What a huge loss!
"Ha~ so you have quite the connections."
"Of course!" Tian Xingyun raised her chin, looking very proud.
The cruise manager had asked her several times before she agreed to do the flowers for the party.
No one else could make them as beautiful as she did.
"Who was it?" Huo Shaohua's eyes suddenly turned cold. He wanted to know who helped this woman get on the cruise.
"Who it was isn't important. What's important is that I succeeded." Tian Xingyun diverted the topic; she wasn't an idiot.
If she revealed who got her on the cruise, that person would definitely be in trouble.
"You think you've succeeded?" Huo Shaohua strode forward, lifting his hand to grip her chin.
He squeezed hard, as if he would rather snap her neck than let this woman off!
Daring to scheme against him, she was incredibly audacious.
"Of course I succeeded." Tian Xingyun frowned in pain but didn't resist, trying hard to curve her lips into a smug smile.
This bastard wanted to crush her chin, didn't he, with that much force!
"What do you want?" Huo Shaohua let go of her, restraining his anger.
He couldn't do anything to her now, otherwise, his grandmother would be heartbroken.
If he had found out first, he would have dealt with this woman immediately.
But she went to his grandmother first, so she held the upper hand.
He had no choice but to comply; this woman was very cunning!
"I want you to leave Huatan Village alone, not harming a single inch of our land!" Tian Xingyun said seriously and solemnly.
If she could protect Huatan Village, it would be worth being humiliated by him.
This would be worth it, right?
"For that worthless place, you've sacrificed quite a lot."
"If it's worthless, why are you trying to buy it at a high price? Are you an idiot?"
"..."
"As long as you agree to leave Huatan Village alone, I will keep this child." Tian Xingyun said, placing her hand on her belly.
"What if I don't agree?" Huo Shaohua raised an eyebrow. He very much wished she would abort the child.
As long as there was no child, he wouldn't have to deal with such a messy woman.
He wouldn't feel the need to take responsibility or feel guilty towards his girlfriend.
She would be aborting the child by her choice, not because he forced her to.
If his grandmother wanted to hold him accountable, he could endure the scolding and beating.
As long as there was no child!
"Then I'll go to your grandmother. She will definitely care about this child!" Tian Xingyun wasn't stupid; she immediately used his grandmother as a shield.
She noticed that Huo Shaohua didn't care about the child at all.
If not for his grandmother, he would have dragged her to the hospital to terminate the pregnancy.
Using the child to threaten him was a small chance, but it was 100% effective with his grandmother.
"I underestimated you." Huo Shaohua's lips curled into a smile.
This woman was smarter than he thought.
"Thank you for the compliment. Dealing with someone like you, of course, I have to be smart!" Tian Xingyun smiled lightly, looking at him with disdain.
To protect Huatan Village, she had to be smarter than usual.
This was the only chance to protect the baby and Huatan Village; she could not let it slip away.
"State your terms." Huo Shaohua said with a cold face, staring at her with icy eyes.
