“Then how much do you want?” Liang Ye’s voice was trembling a little.

Although the Liang family had given him a few million and told him to get hold of the shares in Quan Meng’s hands, he still thought that Quan Meng was still the girl who only had eyes and heart for him. He didn’t expect Quan Meng to have changed completely now and even dared to stand up to him. He wanted to vent his anger, but he was held back by the shares in Quan Meng’s hands.

“I’m sure you have received instructions from your family this time. I want 150 million, and I’m only giving you three days. Once the deadline has passed, I won’t entertain you anymore. By the way, the Shen family also said that they want my shares. Do you think I should talk to them first?”

“150 million!” Liang Ye went berserk. Quan Meng was really demanding an exorbitant price. “Why didn’t I realize before that you were so unreasonable?”

“I’m being unreasonable?” Quan Meng scoffed. “You better give me an answer within three days. Otherwise, it won’t be this price anymore.” Quan Meng reached out and picked up the black coffee on the table. The ice had mostly melted, and there was a layer of condensation droplets on the side of the glass.

“By the way, I don’t like bitter coffee at all, especially black coffee.” As she said that, she poured the coffee over Liang Ye’s head. “Oh, I’m sorry. My hand slipped.”

Although Quan Meng apologized, her hand didn’t stop pouring. After she was done, she gently placed the glass on the table, dusted her hands, and turned to leave.

Behind her, Liang Ye sat there thoroughly drenched in a wretched fashion, but he couldn’t do anything other than clench his hands tightly.

Quan Meng left the cafe and found herself in a good mood all of a sudden. She even felt that the sun was bright and the air was fresh. When she thought of the almost empty refrigerator, she turned and rushed to the supermarket.

She had thought about this before. Why did she feel that Huo Ling’s house felt a little desolate? It was mainly because of the furniture arrangement. She had to redecorate it before Huo Ling got off work so that Huo Ling’s eyes would light up with joy!

She had already figured out the time when Huo Ling would return home. It was usually around 5 or 6 pm. It wasn’t even 1 pm now, so she still had plenty of time.

[Huo Ling! Come home earlier after work tonight. I’ll cook for you!]

As usual, Quan Meng sent a message to Huo Ling and was prepared to not receive a reply. Surprisingly, Huo Ling’s reply came after just two minutes.

[Okay, but I’ll only be home at 9 pm.]

Even though it was only a few words, the corners of Quan Meng’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

However, Huo Ling did not expect that after he opened the door, his home would look completely different.

There were fresh flowers, contrasting curtains, and the sofa had also become bigger. Even the television had been replaced with a projection screen.

Huo Ling had never liked it when others touched his things, especially when it came to actions that infringed upon his private territory.

However, Quan Meng didn’t notice and was still happily placing dishes on the table. Huo Ling took a quick glance and saw that they were basically all his favorite food.

Meow! Little Floss’s call attracted Huo Ling’s attention. The cat was happily eating the food in its bowl, but it was clearly not the usual cat food that he spent a high price to order.

“Who allowed you to touch my things without permission?” Huo Ling stood still. His gaze was frighteningly chilly, causing Quan Meng to shudder momentarily. “You also investigated me?”

He pointed at the food on the table, and then at Little Floss who was eating happily at the side. “Who allowed you to change its food at will? Little Floss’s stomach isn’t good. Can you afford to compensate me if it falls sick from eating the wrong thing?”

Huo Ling’s continuous interrogation stunned Quan Meng. She stared at Huo Ling in a daze. She could find no words to refute him, but her tears fell uncontrollably.

Huo Ling was stunned when he saw Quan Meng crying. He also stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to pacify her or not.

“Calm down first.” Huo Ling said dumbly, but he regretted it almost immediately.

Quan Meng sniffed hard and wiped away her tears forcefully. Then she said with a muffled voice, “I’ve caused you trouble these past few days. I’m sorry.” Quan Meng hung her head, took off her apron, and ran around Huo Ling out of the room.

Huo Ling wanted to hold her back, but he only raised his hand and put it down again.

Quan Meng ran out of the house without stopping but when she reached the streets, she had nowhere to go.

Her original apartment had been rented out, and she didn’t bring her phone or cash with her. She wanted to look for Shen Xin, but she didn’t know if she was at home. If she returned to Huo Ling’s place, she felt it was spineless of her.

Quan Meng could only wander around the streets with her arms crossed.

She was thinking of staying at the convenience store for the night and only going back to get her stuff after Huo Ling went to work in the morning. However, the surrounding convenience stores were either crowded or closed. There was no place for Quan Meng to stay at all.
