Chapter 379: Chapter 379: How Dare You Hit Her!_1

Zhan Yu nodded gravely, “Indeed, it might not be enough.”

“Hmph—” Hai Xiaotang scoffed in indignation, “Aunt, are you all taking me for a fool? 50 million is not enough, then how much would be enough?”

Zhan Yu scoffed, “What would you know! Your grandpa’s disappearance is not ordinary, we cannot find him through conventional methods. Therefore, we plan to get some help from the underworld, their help comes at a steep price. Where do you think the money will come from without selling the house?”

Hai Xiaotang knew that her grandpa was fine.

Yet, she also knew they didn’t spend a cent to find grandpa at all.

The most they did was ask the police for help or make some casual inquiries.

That they would spend 50 million to find her grandpa, she wouldn’t believe it even if she were to drop dead!

Hai Xiaotang coldly questioned, “Are you genuinely out to find grandpa?”

Hai Rong nodded, “Yes, Xiaotang, we’re all just trying to find your granddad. If it leads us to him, I wouldn’t mind selling off my house or even giving up my life!”

Hai Xiaotang had had enough of their hypocrisy and pretences!

Unable to hold back her sarcasm, she retorted, “I think you’re just seizing the chance to make some quick money, using grandpa as an excuse!”

“Shameless—” Hai Rong abruptly swung at her in a fit of vexation!

Although Hai Xiaotang managed to dodge in time, she was still slightly grazed.

Enraged, Hai Rong glared at her intensely, “Hai Xiaotang, do you even know who you’re talking to? We’re all your elders; is that how you talk to them?”

Hai Xiaotang gazed back at him, expressionless, “Are you really my elder?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Hai Rong bristled.

“You’re in no place to be my elder!” Hai Xiaotang returned coldly, “You’re not even worthy to be grandpa’s son. Every time grandpa had troubles, you would just avoid taking responsibility, only thinking about yourself. Now, you even intend to sell grandpa’s house while he’s not around. You’re unfilial!”

“You, you…” Hai Rong was so exasperated that his face turned red. He suddenly picked up a stick used for lifting things that was nearby, and swung at Hai Xiaotang!

“Stop it—” Just arriving, Dongfang Yu saw this and bellowed out fiercely!

He instantaneously dashed over, trying to intervene. But it was too late.

Hai Rong made his move fast. Hai Xiaotang didn’t have time to dodge and was harshly hit on her arm, causing her to scream in pain.

“What are you doing?!” Dongfang Yu quickly shielded Hai Xiaotang in his arms, his eyes menacing as he glared at Hai Rong.

Hai Rong was suddenly intimidated by his demeanor.

Dongfang Yu, with his gloomy eyes and ferocious expression, roared, “You dare to hit her!”

The woman he couldn’t bear to hurt was just hit by him.

And all this happened right in front of him!

At that moment, Dongfang Yu felt he could kill him on the spot.

Hai Rong was inexplicably scared. But he tried to remain calm, “Hai Xiaotang disrespected her elder, I should discipline her…”

As though he found a reasonable excuse, Hai Rong’s voice grew more confident.

“Hai Xiaotang, I was merely disciplining you in grandpa’s stead! He raised you, and you didn’t even put in thought to find him. Now you’re trying to stop us, even if I beat you to death, you would deserve it!”

Hai Xiaotang was so angry that her eyes reddened, “Uncle, enough is enough! I know exactly what kind of ploy you’re stirring, you’re the one who doesn’t want to put in effort to find grandpa!”

“You…” Hai Rong, inflamed, lofted the stick again, about to hit her.

Yet he faltered upon meeting Dongfang Yu’s icy gaze—
