Chapter 546 Good Fate

After saying that, Lin Xiaoxia turned to Fang Lan'e's mother and said, "Aunt Hua, Fang Xiaodong is your son, not Xiao'e's. Besides, Fang Xiaodong is already an adult. Xiao'e helping him is out of kindness, and not helping him is her duty. You all know how you treated Xiao'e. That kindness is long gone. You should go back quickly. It's no use staying here."

Fang Lan'e's parents had already stood up by this time.

Fang Lan'e's mother looked at Lin Xiaoxia and said helplessly, "Xiaoxia, I know you think we're biased, but who doesn't favor their son? After all, raising a son is a way to support you in your old age. Xiaodong is our only son, so shouldn't we count on him to take care of us in our old age? When our daughter grows up, she'll have to marry someone else. How can we count on her?"

Lin Xiaoxia laughed when she heard this: "I can't count on you. You're asking your daughter for tens of thousands of dollars?"

After she finished speaking, she sighed and said, "Aunt Hua, you don't have to say nice things. In fact, you know better than anyone else that your family is partial to one another. How has Xiao'e lived all these years? She has been working since she was old enough to understand, right? You married her to Xu Chengqiang just for the high betrothal gift? Xu Chengqiang is a domestic abuser, and the Xu family abuses Xiao'e in all kinds of ways, but you are afraid that if she divorces, they will have to return the betrothal gift, so you are determined not to let her divorce? Did you know that Xiao'e wanted to commit suicide? If I hadn't helped her escape, she would have drowned herself. For so many years, the only hope for Xiao'e in that family came from your concern for her, Aunt Hua. But these two times for Fang Xiaodong, you didn't consider Xiao'e at all. You really made Xiao'e's heart completely cold."

At this point, she paused, adjusted her composure, and continued, "Xiao'e is terrified of marriage because of your selfishness and dares not remarry. If she can't open her heart and is alone for the rest of her life, won't she need some savings? You can take care of Fang Xiaodong for the rest of her life, but Xiao'e has to plan for her own future. You still want her money? Are you even human? Haven't you ever considered her at all?"

These are the words Lin Xiaoxia has always wanted to say to Fang Lan'e's parents. These two are Fang Lan'e's biological parents, unlike when she was in the Ai family. After all, she is not the Ai family's biological child. These are the words she wants to express on Fang Lan'e's behalf, regardless of whether the other party hears them or takes them to heart. But some things have to be made clear, don't pretend that you don't know.

These words silenced Fang Lan'e's parents, because they also admitted that this was the fact and felt guilty towards Fang Lan'e.

But Fang Lan'e's father was still most concerned about saving his son at this moment. After all, his only son was facing life and death, and nothing else could occupy his mind now.

So after a moment of silence, he continued, "I know, I admit we were wrong, but isn't this an emergency? Even if it's just a loan, can't you lend me some to help Xiaodong through this difficult time? Just this once."

Fang Lan'e's mother felt sad. She really felt sorry for Fang Lan'e, but now, as her husband said, she had to save Fang Xiaodong first before anything else.

She said to Lin Xiaoxia, "Xiaoxia, I know I'm not a good person, but as your uncle said, this is an emergency. Can you please help Xiaodong just this once? If we don't pay back the money, they'll chop off Xiaodong's hand. If they chop off his hand, he'll be crippled. You can't just stand by and watch him die, can you?"

Because she felt that Fang Lan'e could not come up with so much money by herself, she could only ask Lin Xiaoxia for help at the same time.

Fang Lan'e, who was standing next to them, heard her parents talking about Fang Xiaodong all the time. Even when Lin Xiaoxia said she wanted to commit suicide, her parents didn't say anything sincere to her to apologize, and they didn't even ask a single question or show any concern. She felt even more heartbroken.

She looked at her parents and said, "I will have nothing to do with you from now on. Don't come to me about your son's affairs. When you are old, I will give you alimony according to the law. Please leave now. I don't want to see you."

Lin Xiaoxia felt disappointed and sighed, "You really hurt Xiao'e too much." She felt uncomfortable because she had said so much, but they still mentioned Fang Xiaodong.

Fang Lan'e's father was already in tears. He had his own difficulties. No matter what, his daughter was still alive. Now his son was facing the fate of having his hand chopped off. What could he do?

He was quite smart, and said to Lin Xiaoxia, "Xiaoxia, I admit that we made a lot of mistakes. But if Xiaodong's hand was really chopped off, his personality would be crippled and he would definitely not be able to survive. If Xiaodong died, then his mother, grandmother, and I would not be able to survive either. If we all died, would Xiao'e really be able to have no regrets or remorse at that time? Wouldn't she have a shadow in her heart by then? Just help your uncle this time, and I promise you that I will never hurt Xiao'e again. I will write you a letter, I beg you, okay? Just help me this time."

These words touched Lin Xiaoxia's heart. She was indeed afraid that the Fang family would really be broken up, and Fang Lan'e would feel uneasy in the future. After all, they were her biological parents, different from herself and the Ai family.

And now that the baby in her belly is older, she also wants to do as many good deeds as possible to create good karma for the child.

So Lin Xiaoxia was silent for a moment, then said to Fang Lan'e's father, "Uncle, I have a few words of advice for you, which can be regarded as a clear path for you. After I tell you today, I think Xiao'e will have no regrets whether you live or die."

Fang Lan'e's father was sincere this time: "Go ahead."

Lin Xiaoxia said, "If Fang Xiaodong gets through this without any harm, he'll get into even bigger trouble in the future, maybe even go to jail. Look at the children who are spoiled endlessly, how many of them have a promising future? Look at the Ai family? Do you want that too?"

Lin Xiaoxia's words touched a nerve in Fang Lan'e's father, and he was suddenly stunned. He knew that Lin Xiaoxia was right. It was indeed because of his uncontrolled pampering that Fang Xiaodong became like this.

He held the corner of the table with his hand, recalling his excessive pampering of Fang Xiaodong over the years. When Fang Xiaodong fought, he did not discipline Fang Xiaodong, but often praised his son for being so good. When Fang Xiaodong skipped classes, he felt that going to school was useless. When Fang Xiaodong fell in love early, he thought it would be nice to have a grandson sooner. Even when Fang Xiaodong stole the recipe last time, he said Fang Xiaodong was wrong, but he actually still felt that his son was smart. However, he did not expect the consequence of such indulgence to be that Fang Xiaodong's actions became more and more outrageous and terrible. He really did not dare to think about it in the future.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that this was not good for Xiaodong at all. It would only make him less and less talented.

It is true that he regrets it, but there is nothing he can do now. People said that he would have to pay 11,000 yuan including interest. Where can he get so much money? The interest is 500 yuan a day. Isn't this fatal?

He said to Lin Xiaoxia, "I know you're right, but we have no money now. I really have no other options. So I really beg you this time. This time, I will definitely discipline Xiaodong strictly."
