Five million is indeed very tempting; for them, a rural person, it's an astronomical figure.

Li Mei felt insulted. Her daughter was her life, and she wouldn't care about any amount of money offered to her.

"Madam He, your son's life is too cheap. I don't even care about a mere five million."

Zhu Xia's expression was also not good. She had thought Su Ning's parents were reasonable just now, but they probably got greedy after hearing that his family was rich.

Zhu Xia took out another check, wrote out a new one for ten million, and handed it over.

"Mrs. Su, don't push your luck. Here is ten million, enough for your family to live on for a lifetime. Of course, with your daughter's looks, this money is enough for her to find a better man."

Li Mei trembled with rage. She snatched the check from Zhu Xia's hand and tore it to shreds in front of Zhu Xia.

“Your son is too good for my daughter to be associated with. Who knows if your money is clean? I’m afraid it will shorten my life if I take it.”

Li Mei pulled Su Qiang away, while Zhu Xia stared blankly at the shattered paper scraps on the ground.

If it weren't for their family's status, this might not have been such a bad match. Ten million would probably have been accepted by most people, but this couple really made her look at them differently.

As soon as Li Mei returned to the ward, she told Su Ning that she was going home and asked Su Qiang to complete the discharge procedures.

Su Ning had no idea what had happened. She was fine when she went out, but when she came back she seemed like she'd been hit by a bomb.

"What's wrong with Mom? Why is she in such a hurry to be discharged from the hospital?"

Li Mei didn't say anything, and simply packed Su Ning's things. When Su Qiang came in, the discharge procedures had already been completed.

No matter how Su Ning asked, Li Mei wouldn't say anything, so Su Qiang finally spoke up.

“Child, listen to me, let’s go home. This place is not suitable for us.”

Li Mei tried to pull Su Ning away, but Su Ning stepped back.

"Mom, I'm not leaving. Brother Ci will be worried if he doesn't see me."

It would have been better if the congratulatory message hadn't been mentioned, because as soon as it was, Li Mei would get angry.

"He Ci, He Ci, all you can think about is him! You're shamelessly throwing yourself at him like this, but your dad and I still have our pride!"

Su Qiang felt that his wife's tone was a bit harsh this time, and Su Ning's tears rolled down like beads.

"Mom, is there something I did wrong? Please don't be angry, I'll change. Please tell me what happened! I don't want to leave this world without knowing why."

Su Qiang sighed, "Ning'er, this isn't your mother's fault. We can't afford to associate with He Ci's family. His mother just came to see us."

Then Su Qiang recounted what had happened downstairs. No wonder his mother was angry; Su Ning didn't want to leave because she couldn't bear to part with He Ci.

Li Mei didn't want to make things difficult for her daughter, but for her safety and future, she had no choice but to force her.

“Ning’er, I’m kneeling down before you. You’re my only daughter. I’ll agree to anything you ask, except this one thing.”

Su Ning also knelt down in front of Li Mei, and the mother and daughter cried uncontrollably.

"Mom, get up quickly, I'll go with you, please don't do this."

Li Mei hugged Su Ning, her heart aching more than anyone else's. Parents always have the same heart, and she didn't want to do this either. With He Ci's background, her Ning'er was not fortunate enough to enjoy it.

Su Ning returned to Rose Community. Opening the door, she found the place filled with their memories. Having lived there for more than half a year, she had developed feelings for it.

Su Ning finished packing her luggage while crying. Before leaving, she put the key on the coffee table, then reluctantly locked the door with her luggage.

Zhu Zhou took the luggage from Su Ning's hands. He was about to board the ship when he suddenly received a call from Li Mei. He was overjoyed to learn that they were also going back.

Su Ning was injured and the journey by boat would take a day and two nights. Zhu Zhou was worried that Su Ning would not be able to handle it, so he asked someone to get her a temporary passport and bought four plane tickets. Although the plane could not directly reach S City, it was much faster than taking the boat.
