"What do you mean 'unrelated person'? I'm your father, your father!" Seeing the money that was about to be taken away by Xie Li, Shen Erzhu was furious.

His injuries looked frightening, but they had actually healed almost completely long ago. However, he was thinking that the VIP ward in the hospital was comfortable, the Xie family was paying for it, and he could occasionally play the victim, so he kept staying there and refused to leave.

Wang Cuihua looked at Xie Li and tears welled up in her eyes again: "Li Li..."

She stepped forward and grabbed Xie Li's hand. "I've heard about what happened to the Xie family. You've suffered so much. Why don't you come back to Pengcheng with us? The Xie family is going bankrupt. I heard the villa is going to be mortgaged. You'll have nowhere to live..."

"Whether I have a place to stay or not is none of your concern." Xie Li withdrew his hand.

A look of grievance and embarrassment appeared on Wang Cuihua's face. She was genuinely heartbroken for Xie Li's situation, but why had Xie Li become so cold and ruthless?

Mingming used to be the one who couldn't stand seeing her cry.

"You heartless wretch, why are you talking to her?" Shen Erzhu ordered Wang Cuihua, "Go and get the money back for me!"

Wang Cuihua obediently snatched the box from the driver's hand. The driver was a little confused, looking at this woman who seemed so weak, yet she had such a strong grip.

Moreover, although he was furious at Shen Erzhu's shamelessness, he felt a little sympathy for Wang Cuihua, so he was caught off guard and almost had the box taken away by her.

As a grown man, he was really embarrassed to get into a scuffle with Wang Cuihua. She looked so small, as if a gust of wind could blow her over, and he'd heard she was sick...

Looking at this scene, Shen Erzhu could hardly hide his smugness.

Wang Cuihua was like a dog to him, doing whatever he wanted, yet others were completely unguarded around her and even felt sorry for her.

"Let go!" Wang Cuihua was struggling to pull the box when she suddenly heard a stern voice in her ear.

She trembled slightly and gripped the two boxes even tighter.

Her eyes slowly reddened. The money in those two boxes could buy her son a house in Shenzhen. Her son had promised her that once the house was bought, he would get married, have children, and live a good life.

She was certain that Xie Li wouldn't blame her for the five million.

After all, Xie Li is very capable. Even if the Xie family goes bankrupt, she believes Xie Li has the ability to earn it back.

However, to her disappointment, Xie Li took action directly, snatching the box from her hands and prying her fingers apart one by one. The whole process was heartbreaking for her!

"Lili!" She knelt down before Xie Li with a thud, sobbing and wiping away tears. "Please, I beg you, your brother needs to buy a house, and I don't have any money! I'm useless, I'm a good-for-nothing, I could never earn this much money in my entire life..."

"By the way, they said the Xie family is going bankrupt, and the court will soon freeze and seize all your family's assets. If you lend me this money, it won't be seized by the court! I'll pay you back slowly by working, okay? I'll work five jobs, I'm sure I can pay it back!"

Wang Cuihua looked at Xie Li through teary eyes, her gaze filled with pleading.

Xie Li looked at her coldly: "Before you left, I gave you a million and warned you never to come looking for me again."

Wang Cuihua was stunned.

"You good-for-nothing, how dare you talk like that?" Shen Erzhu couldn't hold back any longer. Wang Cuihua was crying so pitifully, yet Xie Li remained unmoved.

As expected, you can't raise someone who isn't your own flesh and blood. He's an ingrate, a heartless wretch!

Xie Li ignored him. This man was all bluster; he wouldn't dare to actually get close to Xie Li.
