"That won't do! She's my daughter, I raised her. Tong Jun is my son. Since she's going to support me in my old age, she should naturally take care of her younger brother! She should pay for the wedding house and the bride price!"

Tong Lu, standing behind Qi Jiu, suddenly laughed, a laugh tinged with sadness.

“All my salary from the design guild and the bonuses from my design works go to my family. What more could I ask for? You all give all your money to Tong Jun. Since I started school, when have you ever given me any living expenses? I’ve paid for my tuition and living expenses all these years by working part-time!”

She earned everything herself through her own work. They gave all the good things to Tong Jun, and she got nothing but their cold stares.

They got her money, but they didn't treat her well.

Wang Yan glared and crossed her arms, looking every bit the shrew.

"Didn't I tell you, you have a younger brother, you need to buy him a wedding house and earn money for the bride price! The money you have isn't even enough for our whole family!"

"That's right, you're my sister. Don't you have to contribute anything to my wedding? Aren't you my sister? You're the only one earning money in the family now. If you don't buy it for me, who will?"

At this moment, Tong Jun also jumped off the sofa. They were clearly a family, but no one ever cared about Tong Lu. It was as if Tong Lu was their ATM and punching bag, and everything they did was Tong Lu's fault.

The girl turned to look at Tong Lu, whose face was streaked with tears, and asked softly, "Do you want to leave? Do you want to leave completely and have nothing to do with them?"

Tong Lu looked at the person who only cared about giving birth but not about raising children, and nodded: "I want to."

"No, what do you mean? This is a family matter, how dare you, an outsider, interfere? Get out of here!"

Hearing her words, Wang Yan panicked a little. Right now, she didn't care about money; all she wanted was to kick Qi Jiu out! She could still tell the difference between short-term money and a long-term ATM.

"Auntie, all you want is money, right?"

Wang Yan snorted coldly and remained silent, but this silence seemed to have become the answer in itself. Tong Lu watched, a bitter smile playing on his lips.

"How about this, I'll give you 500,000."

"real?"

Wang Yan lowered her hands, her eyes full of expectation, and Tong Jun next to her had the same expression.

People with their standard of living have never seen so much money before. Even the salary from the previous Deer Race didn't amount to this much.

Qi Jiu nodded. "But I have one condition: from now on, Tong Lu will have no connection with this family and will have no obligation to support you."

Wang Yan was taken aback, not expecting such a question, and her brows furrowed. "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, from this day forward, Tong Lu will sever all ties with you and will no longer have any obligation to support you. I'll give you 500,000."

Upon hearing this, Tong Jun immediately became displeased. "No way! You think you can just get rid of us with 500,000? Do you think we're beggars?"

Wang Yan chimed in, "That's right. 500,000 yuan in dowry isn't even enough to buy a house. Besides, I'll still need her to support me in the future, and she'll still have to give me money! Who will give us money if she leaves?"

"Don't go too far!"

Tong Lu frowned, her face grim. These weren't family; they were clearly vampires!

These are the family members who treat her like an ATM!

Qi Jiu seemed to have anticipated this reaction, showing no anxiety on her face. "Then, Auntie, do you know that restricting Tong Lu's freedom is illegal?"

"What? Tong Lu is my daughter. Now I can't even control her? Is that illegal? Don't try to fool me!" Wang Yan was stunned.

Tong Jun also found it funny, "Yeah, I've been to school too. Who are you trying to fool? Just because you're rich, you think you can fool people?"

Qi Jiu looked at the two people in front of her and thought they were foolish. "Tong Lu is already an adult. Restricting the personal freedom of an adult child is illegal."

Seeing Wang Yan's disbelieving look, the girl smiled and said, "You can check now whether restricting your children's personal freedom is illegal."

Although the punishment is not severe, having a criminal record makes all the difference.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Wang Yan actually searching, but the answer on Baidu made her face turn pale. The word "illegal" came straight into her eyes.

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Wang Yan seemed startled. "Who is it?"

She glanced at Tong Jun, who immediately went to open the door. As soon as the door opened, several people in police uniforms rushed in, and it seemed that Lin Yan and Qi Silin were following behind them.

Lin Chuan, who was leading the group, glanced at Qi Jiu before looking away and then at Wang Yan beside him. "Someone called the police; are you illegally detaining someone?"

When she saw the police arrive, Wang Yan was completely dumbfounded. It would be incredibly foolish of her to still think it was fake.

The internet might be fake, but the police have already come to her home. How could this be fake? She's just an ordinary citizen; she's never seen anything like this before.

When Qi Jiu saw Qi Silin, she was stunned. As she walked over, she secretly touched his hand, then took the documents from Lin Yan and handed them to Wang Yan.

"This is a termination of parent-child relationship agreement. Take a look. If you agree, 500,000 will be deposited into your account immediately."

Wang Yan seemed to be hesitant, but the girl didn't have time to wait; she couldn't stay in this kind of house for even a minute longer.

“You’d better think this through. The police are here, and Tong Lu doesn’t want to stay here. So I have to take Tong Lu away today, which means her going abroad is a certainty. But will she support you after she goes abroad…”

She didn't say anything about the scene, but she believed Wang Yan had some idea of ​​what was going on, after all, she knew better than anyone how Tong Lu had been treated before.

"Rather than getting nothing, why not make half a million? What do you think?"

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wang Yan dared not utter a single word of "no." Signing the agreement seemed to be the best solution after all.

In the end, under Lin Chuan's watchful eye, Wang Yan still signed the agreement.

It was all in black and white, with an official seal; it would take effect immediately upon signing. Lin Chuan, standing nearby, seemed about to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

"Don't forget that 500,000!" Wang Yan looked at Qi Jiu, but the look in her eyes was no longer the same as before.

The girl smiled and waved her phone. "You can check now; the money has already been deposited."

After leaving the old building, Tong Lu looked at the passport in her hand with a sense of disbelief. Lin Chuan, who was next to her, finally spoke.

"Miss Qi, I was just about to say that failing to fulfill one's obligation to support one's parents is also illegal."

Qi Jiu nodded. "I know, but they don't know. The agreement has already been signed. Isn't it too late to say anything now?"
