Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

Chen Huo frowned slightly.

Although he and Zhang Yudi had a past relationship, and were each other's first love.

But things change, and five years is neither a long nor a short time; it's normal for people's hearts to change.

Moreover, when he was in the women's prison, he didn't remain chaste for Zhang Yudi.

Having experienced many trials and tribulations, his perspective was now vastly different, and he wouldn't get too agitated over this matter: "Auntie is right. Yudi and I are indeed not suitable. Our engagement is hereby cancelled!"

"You don't even look at yourself... What, the engagement is canceled?!" Dai Shuying had prepared a whole speech, ready to blurt it out and give Chen Huo a good humiliation.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Huo's reaction was completely unexpected.

"You said you want to call off the engagement?!"

"Yes!" Chen Huo said noncommittally. "Auntie, or Uncle, do you have any other opinions?"

Dai Shuying and Zhang Shuchun looked at each other in bewilderment.

Even the Zhang family relatives present felt as if they had a fishbone stuck in their throats, making it very uncomfortable.

Originally, everyone was happy to see the engagement canceled.

But Chen Huo's nonchalant attitude shut down all their sarcasm and ridicule.

What does that mean?

It's like the Zhang family is actually trying to curry favor with this marriage!

"Chen Huo, you're the one who understands the bigger picture!" Zhang Shuchun, as the head of the family, was the first to react. "Since you're willing to cancel the engagement, that's for the best. Let's not mention this matter again!"

"Considering we've known each other for a while, if you have any difficulties, please tell me. I'll definitely help if I can!"

"There is indeed something else!" Chen Huo nodded and said, "I remember I had some money entrusted to Yu Di before, I think it was one hundred million or two hundred million, I can't remember the exact amount!"

"I urgently need the money right now, and I don't need it all back, just give me 80 million!"

Upon hearing this, the Zhang family members all changed their expressions.

No wonder they canceled the engagement so readily.

They're after money!

Although the Zhang family has made a lot of money in recent years, it still can't compare to those families with a rich history and heritage.

Eighty million is not a small amount for them.

Especially for families like theirs that rose from humble beginnings, money is valued more than life itself.

If it were tens or hundreds of thousands, I would have given it away.

Tens of millions of dollars—it's like cutting into their flesh!

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Chen Huo asked.

"This...nephew, you overestimate the Zhang family. Even if we scrape together every penny, I couldn't raise that much money in a short time!" Zhang Shuchun took a sip of tea to cover his panic. "Besides, we, as the parents, don't know much about what's going on between you and Yudi!"

"Exactly! What do you mean by one hundred million or two hundred million? I've never heard Yudi mention that!" Dai Shuying sneered. "Chen Huo, you can't just try to extort money from my Zhang family because you see they've become successful!"

"They just talked the talk, and now they want 80 million from us!"

"That's outrageous!"

"Uncle and Aunt, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask Yudi to confront me!" Chen Huo said, frowning.

Zhang Shuchun and Dai Shuying's expressions changed again.

They actually know it very well in their hearts.

If it weren't for the huge sum of money Chen Huo gave them back then, the Zhang family would never have had the chance to develop so well.

You can't just throw up what you've already eaten!

Just as they were about to make an excuse to refuse, Zhang Yudi, who had been eavesdropping in her room, came out and said, "Chen Huo, how dare you mention money!"

"Do you know how I've survived these past five years?"

"Because of your indiscretions and promiscuity, you not only went to jail, but you also smeared me with the reputation of being the fiancée of a rapist and murderer! I'm still unmarried, and I've endured five years of stigma for you!"

"How many five-year periods does a woman have in her life? Let me tell you, forget 80 million, she won't even get a single cent!"

Chen Huo never expected that his former fiancée, with whom he had once been inseparable, would have such an attitude upon seeing her again.

Not only did they turn their backs on us, but they also had to be so sarcastic and mean!

He took a deep breath: "Yudi, if that's how you want to put it, then fine! Consider that money as compensation!"

"But besides that, during our relationship, I certainly used my connections to help run your family business, didn't I?"

"In some transactions, I even received a share of the profits!"

"If you calculate it, it must have far exceeded 80 million by now, right?"

"You helped me voluntarily, I didn't force you!" Zhang Yudi showed no regard for their past relationship, her tone cold. "My parents used to handle business matters, I don't know anything about them!"

"But there's one thing: since it's about shareholding and profit sharing, there should be a written contract, right? Let's produce it first!"

These words immediately reminded Zhang Shuchun and the others.

Yes!

When Chen Huo helped them, he never asked for anything in return, let alone any contracts or other proof.

Even if they admit to something now, there's no basis for it, so we can still refuse to give it to them!

"Chen Huo, how can you be such a person? I know you're down on your luck now, but you used to be a rich young master. Don't you have any principles at all? Coming here specifically to ask for money without any real reason, what's the difference between that and being a scoundrel?"

"What help, what shares and dividends—that's all just you talking nonsense. We haven't made any claims about that!"

"Don't think that just because you dated Yudi, we'll tolerate you without any limits!"

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, as if they were the victims.

Chen Huoqi laughed.

He was always sincere towards Zhang Yudi and the entire Zhang family, treating them as family.

They not only spared no effort in helping them, but also never hesitated to offer them various benefits.

If he hadn't just been released from prison and needed money, he wouldn't have even mentioned it to the Zhang family.

In the end, they raised a bunch of ungrateful wretches who only care about profit!

"You didn't act like this when you were begging me for favors!"

"You all know in your hearts who's shameless!"

"Give me back my 80 million, and let's put this matter to rest and part ways amicably!"

"Dream on! Don't even think about it!" Dai Shuying shouted.

Zhang Shuchun raised his hand to stop them, playing the good cop: "Alright, stop arguing!"

"Chen Huo, 80 million? We really can't come up with that! I know you're having a hard time since you were just released from prison!"

"Here's a million. From this point on, we'll sever all ties and go our separate ways!"

Chen Huo laughed: "One million? You think you can get rid of me?"

"Chen Huo, don't push your luck!" Zhang Shuchun slammed his hand on the chair. "Giving you a million is already giving you plenty of face; this is my bottom line!"

"If you keep making a scene, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Hahahaha, fine, you Zhang family, you really have no manners!" Chen Huo laughed angrily. "Since you insist on this, then the score isn't settled like this! What you owe me, the Zhang family, won't get a single penny less!"

"What do you want?" Zhang Shuchun glared at him. "You still think you're the young master of the Chen family, able to do whatever you want!"

"If you don't leave, I'll have you thrown out!"
