Chapter 544: Chapter 544

He Jinxia’s eyes swept around, and suddenly she raised her voice, "Mom, don’t bother with them. Let’s just wait here and see what she dares to say when she sees us. If it’s too much, I’ll call the police!"

Mrs. He hadn’t come to her senses yet, and couldn’t help saying, "It’s the New Year, would the police even care about such things?"

He Jinxia continued to shout, "It doesn’t matter if they care or not, they have to deal with it. This is slander and spreading rumors. If the police verify that it’s true, they can be detained for reeducation and fined! I’m not afraid of them. If they want a scene, we’ll take it to the police station!"

After that, no more voices came down from above—probably because they had heard what He Jinxia said.

Only then did Mrs. He react, looking at Jinxia with a face full of surprise.

He Jinxia squeezed her hand, signaling her to calm down, assuring her that she would get justice for their family.

After a while, a rustling noise came from upstairs, as if people were quietly discussing something.

It didn’t take long for He Hui and her group to come downstairs, each carrying a big bag of gifts.

When they came face to face, He Hui said with a surprised look, "Big sister, you’re back!"

He Fang laughed out of sheer fury with a strained smile, "I should have never come back. As soon as I return, I get to be cursed. What sin did I commit to know you people!"

He Hui’s expression changed, and He Jinxia looked up and over her shoulder at the people behind her. He Hui’s daughter-in-law stood there weakly, holding a child, and beside her was a man—presumably her husband.

He Hui smiled and said, "Big sister, you must have misheard. We didn’t hear anyone talking when we came down just now!"

He Jinxia smirked, "Are you sure?"

She took out her phone and said gloomily, "I was bored and happened to record the part where you were cursing someone. How about I play it for you to listen? The tones in the voice cursing were so good, better than a crosstalk performance—it would be such a waste if they didn’t become crosstalk actors."

He Hui’s face turned ugly, and she muttered, "It was just some casual talk, was it necessary to record it?"

He Jinxia smiled broadly, "It was necessary. I’ve always remembered the people who cursed my mom and me, just waiting for the day to return the favor—a gentleman’s revenge is not too late even after ten years, don’t you think?"

Seeing Jinxia’s response, He Hui dropped the pretense and exploded with curses, "You little bastard, ungrateful wretch! I’m your aunt, your own aunt! And you still want to take revenge on me? You’ll shorten your life and be damned for this!"

"Weren’t you going to call the police? Go ahead, I’d like to see who at the police station would bother with this on New Year’s—letting no one live in peace, you disaster-bringing, bastard, shameless thing..."

He Jinxia casually dug at her ear, letting He Hui rant. Once she stopped, Jinxia pressed the stop button on the recorder of her phone and retorted with a question, "Anything else you want to curse about?"

He Jinxia: "Don’t think I really won’t call the police."

He Jinxia: "You vampire, taking our family’s shop and not paying a cent for it, and borrowing more than a hundred thousand from us without ever paying it back once!"

"I’m not afraid of making a scene either. As a public figure, I’ve long been used to being watched, but as for you guys, I don’t know if you can handle the feeling of being followed all the time."

"Didn’t I give you the contact information for several newspapers before? I thought you went to leak the story. I looked through the news cycles several times and found nothing. Do you want me to give you those newspaper phone numbers again? I’m sure they’ll be very interested in what you have."

"Your family wants to extort money from me, right? Well, I’m laying it out here and now—I’m not giving you any money, not one cent. If you want to make a fuss, go ahead and leak it!

"Those reporters will pay you for it. Make the most of it and spill everything from my childhood till now. Let everyone see what kind of relative you are to me!"

He Jinxia vented everything in one breath, glaring at them fiercely, and said, "Are you not leaving yet? Do I need to call the police to make you go?!"

As she spoke, she grabbed her phone, ready to dial.

He Hui snapped back to reality and shot He Jinxia a glare, "Let’s go, we’re leaving! You’re crazy! We don’t argue with mad people!"

She quickly hung her head and ran forward, with the two people behind her hurrying to catch up.

While running, He Hui continued to curse, "You have no shame. I have my dignity to maintain. Do you think you’re so glamorous as a celebrity? You’re cursed every day. I wouldn’t be as shameless as you. If I were slandered like that, I would have committed suicide as an apology by now, pah! What face is left to show in this world, pah..."

Mrs. He was infuriated upon hearing this, her feet moved, wanting to catch up to He Hui and hit her!

In the end, she was stopped by He Jinxia, "Mom, don’t chase them. They are all so afraid of death that if you chase, they’ll just run faster. You won’t be able to catch them."

Mrs. He’s face turned red with anger, and she clenched her fists tightly, "To talk about me is one thing, but why involve you? All of this has nothing to do with you. These curses will eventually come back on them someday!"

He Jinxia patted her back, suggesting she calm down for now.

If last year Mrs. He would still deal with He Hui’s family with a superficial effort, this year, forget efforts—If she didn’t openly tear into them, it was already a courtesy.

This year He Hui still wanted to borrow money by coming over? No way! For more chapters visıt N()velFire.net

He Jinxia thought for a while and said softly, "Mom, they deliberately blocked us and have things in their hands. Could it be they intended to give us a gift?"

He Fang clenched her chest, trying to calm her breathing and scoffed, "What gift? They’re here to collect debts!"

"A few days ago, He Hui messaged me asking around if I was going back this year or not. I ignored her. I didn’t expect her to be so shameless as to actually come knocking!"

Mrs. He sniffled, her eyes reddening, "Your grandparents were good people, your father was an upright soldier, why is his sister ?"

"I used to think she was just poor, so she was so desperate for money and I didn’t interact with her much. It was only after you became famous that they started coming to us."

"I transferred the free spot at the supermarket to her last year so her son could run a business. If he put in effort he’d make a decent amount each month. I’ve already done so much, what else do they want from me?"

He Jinxia continued to pat her back and said softly, "Mom, they’re not cut out for business. They managed to run a perfectly good supermarket into the ground and then say they can’t operate it, turning around each month to borrow money from you and never paying it back."
