175 Calculation

Monica glanced in the direction the luxury car had disappeared. "Teacher Xie, was that your boyfriend just now?"

Huo Yanxi was sitting in the car, and the light was dim, so Monica couldn't see his face clearly.

However, judging from the other person's demeanor, they must be of noble or wealthy status.

Xie Yaoyao felt a little guilty. "Mm."

Monica said, "No wonder they can treat the whole school to takeout from Lung King Heen. I really want to compete with these rich people."

Xie Yaoyao was amused by her humor, "Yeah, I really want to compete with these rich people."

Monica chuckled twice, her expression gradually turning serious.

Seeing this, Xie Yaoyao couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Monica said, "Teacher Xie, is he truly sincere towards you? Your social statuses are so different..."

Xie Yaoyao lowered her eyes.

Monica quickly said, "That's not what I meant. It's just that these rich people are just looking for something new. What if he's just playing around..."

“No, he won’t.” Xie Yaoyao interrupted Monica softly, but her tone was incredibly firm. “He’s not playing around with me.”

Monica was still worried, "When these rich people love you, they will give you anything, but once the novelty wears off, they will quickly forget about you."

Xie Yaoyao knew that her worries were normal.

After all, in Monica's view, her status was indeed vastly different from Huo Yanxi's.

But Xie Yaoyao knew that Huo Yanxi would never betray her or abandon her.

She smiled and said, "I've taken your words to heart. Don't worry, it won't come to that."

Seeing her resolute expression, Monica didn't dare to persuade her any further. She could only say, "Then you should be more careful. If things don't look right, try to get as much benefit as possible. Don't be foolish as you're holding onto your sincere heart and letting others take advantage of it."

Xie Yaoyao nodded, "I understand."

Monica wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing, waved to her, and went to take the subway.

Xie Yaoyao glanced at her watch; there were still ten minutes until class started. She quickly ran towards the school.

Mrs. Chi returned home dejectedly. After getting out of the car, she sat down on the swing in the garden, seemingly too exhausted to walk any further.

Her daughter doesn't acknowledge her.

The thought of the unfamiliar look in her eyes caused her unbearable heartache.

She didn't know how long she sat on the swing until the maid found her.

"Madam, why are you sitting here in a daze?"

Madam Chi's eyes darted around, and she realized that it was already completely dark.

The area around the swing was dimly lit, so no one noticed her.

She said calmly, "It's alright, help me up."

The maid reached out to help her, and just then, car headlights shone in. Madam Chi stood still.

The car quickly stopped in the yard, and then the back door opened, and Chi Wanwan and Chi Mu got out of the car.

Chi Wanwan linked arms with Chi Mu, their posture was very intimate, making Mrs. Chi's eyelids twitch.

Chi Mu was carrying many paper bags from high-end luxury brands, and even the driver's hands were full.

Looking at it, it's clear that Chi Wanwan bought quite a lot today.

In the past, Chi Wanwan was extravagant, spending hundreds of millions of dollars every time she went to high-end luxury brand stores.

Madam Chi never took it to heart.

But seeing her wearing a branded suit worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, and then thinking about her own daughter dressed in ordinary, shabby clothes, the scales in her heart kept tipping.

Especially today, she ran into a brick wall with Huo Yanxi, and even her own daughter refused to acknowledge her.

She felt that it was all because of Chi Wanwan.

Madam Chi became increasingly distraught as she thought about it, and suddenly rushed out, blocking the path of Chi Mu and Chi Wanwan.

She glared at Chi Wanwan angrily, "How much money did you spend by pestering your brother today?"

Chi Wanwan looked at Madam Chi's bloodshot eyes and was a little scared. "Mom, what's wrong with you today?"

Madam Chi was deeply hurt because her biological daughter refused to acknowledge her. Now that she saw her adopted daughter was unrepentant and extravagant, how could she not be heartbroken?

"What's wrong with me? I should be asking you, how long are you, this imposter, going to stay in this house?"

Not only was Chi Wanwan shocked, but Chi Mu was also dumbfounded.

"Mom, how can you say such a thing? How heartbroken Wanwan would be to hear that?"

Chi Wanwan immediately put on a tearful expression, "Mom, I know I shouldn't continue to stay in the Chi family, but I grew up with you since I was little, and I can't bear to leave you."

If Chi Wanwan had acted like this before, Madam Chi would definitely have softened.

But she was too traumatized today, and the thought of Xie Yaoyao's gaze made her heart ache.

"Chi Mu, have things been arranged overseas? Send Wanwan over as soon as possible."

Chi Mu frowned. "Didn't you agree to let her stay in Hong Kong?"

“If she stays in Hong Kong, your own sister won’t come home. You know in your heart which is more important.”

Chi Mu said unhappily, "If she doesn't want to come back, then she should never come back. We haven't even seen her yet, and she's already trying to trick us into sending Wanwan away. I don't need a sister like that."

"Chi Mu!" Madam Chi shouted, slapping him across the face and knocking his head to the side.

“Those are your blood relatives, how could you say such a thing?” Madam Chi trembled with anger.

Chi Mu maintained that position for a few seconds.

Chi Wanwan was also startled by Madam Chi's reaction tonight. After she came to her senses, she quickly went to see Chi Mu.

Five finger marks quickly appeared on Chi Mu's face, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

It is clear that Madam Chi did not hold back at all when she slapped him.

Chi Wanwan's eyes were red. "Brother, does it hurt? Mom, if you have any complaints, take them out on me. Don't hit your brother."

Madam Chi raised her hand, but looking at Chi Wanwan, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

After a long pause, she finally withdrew her hand with a stern face. "Wanwan, pack your things and go abroad."

Upon hearing this, Chi Mu angrily retorted, "Mom, why should Wanwan go abroad? What did she do wrong?"

"She is a beneficiary who has enjoyed our pampering for more than 20 years. She eats well, dresses well, uses the best things, and attends the best schools. I have not made her give back everything she has enjoyed. I have already been more than kind to her. She still refuses to leave the Chi family. She is just ungrateful."

Chi Wanwan's cheeks flushed red, then turned pale, then bluish.

Large tears slid down her cheeks as she looked at Madam Chi. "Mom, is this how you really think of me?"

Madam Chi did not look at her, afraid that she would soften her heart.

She said, "Let's go, consider this our last act of mother-daughter bond, don't make things difficult for me."

After saying that, she returned to the villa with the help of the maid.

Chi Wanwan covered her face with her hands, squatted on the ground and cried bitterly, "Brother, even Mom wants to kick me out, what should I do?"

Chi Mu's cheeks burned with pain. He threw the things in his hand on the ground and helped Chi Wanwan up.

"Wanwan, go abroad for a few days. I promise you, I'll come and pick you up when that woman comes back."

Chi Wanwan had no intention of leaving.

Because she knew that once she left the port city, she would never be able to come back.

She looked at Chi Mu in front of her, a calculating glint in her eyes.
