"Xiaomei!"

"Xiaomei!"

Kong Weihan and Zhou Xiufang stared nervously at Kong Xuemei, barely daring to breathe. They didn't have the courage to look at Tang Yue. For such a young woman to take on the task of transporting them back to China was clearly no simple matter.

Having lived in Russia for a long time, they naturally had no doubt about Tang Yue's abilities. But now, at such a critical juncture, their daughter had made such an unreasonable request. What if this little girl simply abandoned them?

Then they would truly have no way to survive. Zhou Xiufang knew her daughter was doing this for the family. But she couldn't say it aloud. She silently shook her head at Kong Xuemei. Kong Xuemei saw her mother's silent plea, but she couldn't agree.

Kong Xuemei stared stubbornly at Tang Yue, silently awaiting her reply. Anyone else might have actually kicked the whole family out. But who could argue with Tang Yue?

The Dongfang Qinghua family members all looked rather grim; they hadn't expected Kong Xuemei to cause such a scene.

Tang Yue's lips curled slightly. "Let me guess what you're relying on for your stubbornness right now? Is it just that you think you and your father are very valuable, and that you might be a pillar of support when you return to China?"

Despite the excruciating pain, Kong Weihan immediately shook his head. "No, young lady, don't misunderstand. We absolutely didn't mean that. Really, we've just been wandering abroad for too long and really want to return to our motherland. Really."

He was very anxious, afraid that Tang Yue would misunderstand their meaning, and even his words were in broken sentences.

Kong Weihan glared angrily at Kong Xuemei, "Xiaomei, if you don't want to leave, then you can stay."

Zhou Xiufang couldn't take it anymore, "Old Kong!"

Kong Weihan's face was covered in sweat. "Kong Xuemei, if you try to take advantage of me at this time, I will absolutely not allow it."

Kong Xuemei glared at Kong Weihan, "Dad, it's just a short delay, why can't we? In the time it takes to argue here, we could have made a round trip."

Tang Yue's lips curled into a cold smile. "Since you think that money is so important, why didn't you bring it with you when you ran away? Now you think it's useful?"

Or do you feel that since I've come to pick you up, it's my responsibility to escort you safely back to China?

Kong Xuemei really thought so. "Isn't that right?" She even proudly raised her chin.

Tang Yue smiled, a smile as gentle as a spring breeze. "Of course not. China has no idea this matter exists."

Kong Xuemei stared wide-eyed in disbelief; she couldn't believe Tang Yue had taken them away without orders. Kong Weihan and Zhou Xiufang were also taken aback. Tang Yue shrugged.

"I'm just going that way. So, don't you think you're threatening the wrong person? Also, if you feel unsafe following me, you can get off and go home now. I won't stop you."

Kong Weihan gradually calmed himself down. "No, now that we've taken this step, we will absolutely not back down." Zhou Xiufang knew that they had come this far, and there was no possibility of turning back.

"Xiaomei, stop making a fuss. Those are all material possessions. Your father is injured, and we urgently need to leave here and find medicine to treat him."

Kong Xuemei was on the verge of collapse. She covered her face with her hands, "Mom, we don't have any money, how are we going to get the medicine?"

She fled with her parents out of sheer courage, but after her father was shot in the leg, she knew the journey would be anything but peaceful. They had nothing, and they didn't know what the future held when they returned to China.

Especially now that this young girl in front of them isn't someone sent by China to pick them up, their return to China is even less secure. What's the point of going back?

She glared angrily at Tang Yue, "Since you don't have permission from China, why are you pretending to be kind? Do you know that this could get us killed?"

Her last sentence was almost hysterical. Dongfang Yi was also angry, "Kong Xuemei, don't be ungrateful. Don't you know what kind of life you're living here?"

The decision to leave was your family's own; who are you blaming now? If you don't want to leave, get off the bus; no one is forcing you.

Dongfang Qinghua was also disappointed; he had no idea that Lao Kong had raised such a daughter.

Tang Yue didn't want to waste words with her. "Give me a straight answer, whether you're leaving or not. I don't have time to waste here with you."

"Let's go!" Kong Weihan said loudly. "Kong Xuemei, if you still consider us your parents, then sit still. Otherwise, get off the bus. Just pretend we never gave birth to you."

Kong Xuemei couldn't believe these words were coming from Kong Weihan's mouth, and she suddenly felt a surge of hatred towards him. She bent over and roared, "If you don't want me, then don't! Who gave birth to me? Was I brought into this world just to suffer?"

I've had enough! I hate you all!

Without waiting for Kong Weihan and Zhou Xiufang to make any move, she turned around and got out of the car. She walked away without looking back.

Zhou Xiufang stood up, tears streaming down her face, and tried to chase after him, but Kong Weihan held her back tightly. "Waaah, Old Kong, that's our daughter. I..."

Kong Weihan held Zhou Xiufang tightly, "You mustn't go. She's beyond saving."

"Since she likes to stay here, then let her live here forever." After saying that, he closed his eyes and stopped looking at anyone, but the tears streaming down his face showed that his heart was not as calm as it appeared.

Tang Yue shrugged. However, she actually thought it was a good thing that Kong Xuemei wasn't going back to China. That girl didn't seem like a good person at all; who knew how much trouble she'd cause if she went back to China.
