Ye Linchen sneered.
She had a premonition that Meng Xueyun would come up with such a terrible idea as "borrowing money from her boyfriend," and she was right.
"I borrowed it from him, how are you going to pay it back?" Ye Linchen's voice suddenly rose as he stared coldly at Meng Xueyun. "Are you going to pay it back?"
Meng Xueyun was taken aback by her gaze, but still forced herself to say, "You two are dating, you'll be family from now on, there's no need to pay back any money."
Seeing that her classmates were all listening intently, she lowered her voice but still blurted out her plan.
“If they really ask you for it, just say... if you two get married, then consider the 100,000 as a bride price, and our family won't ask for anything else.”
Upon hearing this, the surrounding students began to whisper among themselves, and their gazes toward Meng Xueyun instantly turned disdainful.
Some people couldn't help but shake their heads, while others muttered under their breath, "Isn't this just exchanging a daughter for money?"
Ye Linchen sneered, her voice crisp: "Then what's the difference between this and selling your daughter?"
Meng Xueyun's expression changed, and she hurriedly defended herself: "What do you mean by selling your daughter? That sounds so awful! You two were dating, so consider this money as a gift from you two to repay our kindness in raising you."
The more she spoke, the more self-righteous she became, and she reached out to grab Ye Linchen's arm. "Xiao Chen, please help me. You're the only one we can count on right now."
“You didn’t show your face at all when your father was sick this time, and we didn’t blame you. Now is the time for you to make up for it.”
These words ignited a fire in Ye Linchen's heart.
She abruptly shook off his hand and shouted, "Why did my dad have a stroke? It's because Meng Zihan caused you all to lose your jobs! And behind my dad's back, you secretly took the severance pay meant for buying a house and gave it to Meng Zihan and Meng Xuejun to start a business."
"He got sick because of you and Meng Zihan! And now you want me to make up for it?"
Her voice was stern, and her face was as cold as ice.
"When you were forcing me to drop out of high school, didn't you think about this day? Meng Xueyun, let me tell you, don't even think about it. I won't give you a single penny!"
Some people in the crowd gasped, and some even sighed inwardly.
Ye Linchen continued to shout, "Why should I use the money I've worked so hard to earn to pay off the gambling debts of an uncle I've never even met? And why should I jeopardize my entire future? Let me tell you, there's no such logic in this world!"
At this point, her eyes turned cold, and she spoke clearly, "Also, I told you long ago that I have severed all ties with the Ye family! Ever since Meng Zihan drugged me before the college entrance exam, I have had absolutely no connection with the Ye family!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding area erupted in chaos.
"What?! Drugging students during the college entrance exam?!"
"Could a relative do such a thing?"
"No wonder they don't acknowledge this relative..."
The students' murmurs rose and fell, and Meng Xueyun's face grew paler and paler, with beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
Ye Linchen gave her a cold glance, then turned and walked away without looking back.
Meng Xueyun's heart tightened; she couldn't bear to let her go like that. She rushed forward and reached out to pull her back: "Xiao Chen, let Mom finish..."
Unexpectedly, Ye Linchen moved even faster, sidestepped, and ran away.
Her movements were swift and decisive, as if she had anticipated Meng Xueyun's move.
Meng Xueyun missed her target, her body swayed, and she cried out "Ouch!" as she fell to the ground, her ankle twisting violently.
The excruciating pain made her gasp for breath and shiver uncontrollably.
As she watched Ye Linchen run further and further away, tears streamed down her face. Realizing she couldn't catch up, she simply sat down on the ground and threw a tantrum, howling loudly.
"My life is so miserable!" she cried, clutching her feet. Her voice was shrill and piercing. "How could I have raised such an ungrateful daughter! She won't come to see her father when he's sick, and she won't help when things go wrong at home. What have I done to raise her with all my hard work?!"
She cried her heart out, wishing she could pour out all the grievances she had suffered.
The students watching were not convinced; their discussions were like needles piercing Meng Xueyun's heart.
"Serves you right! It's normal for people to disown you because you're such a vicious family."
"Instead of wasting time making a scene, you should think about how to make money to pay off your debts."
"What a disgrace! A mother actually wants her daughter, who is still in school, to pay off her uncle's gambling debts, 100,000 yuan? What kind of dream are you having?"
"His skin is thicker than a city wall."
"It's definitely not her biological mother, it must be her stepmother. Only a stepmother could be so cruel!"
The insults grew louder and louder. Meng Xueyun's face turned pale and her eyes were still wet with tears, but she refused to get up no matter what.
Someone couldn't stand it and quickly ran to call the school security guards.
Before long, two security guards arrived, panting.
One of them, an older man, was carrying a baton. He frowned and shouted, "This is a school, not your home! If you keep making noise, you'll disrupt the class. Get out of here!"
The young security guard stepped forward and reached out to help Meng Xueyun: "Auntie, if you don't leave, we'll have to take you to the police station by force."
To everyone's surprise, Meng Xueyun seemed to have gone mad, clinging desperately to the pillar on the ground and screaming at the top of her lungs, "I won't go! I won't go!"
What will happen to Xiaohan if she leaves? Who will save Xiaohan!
When the security guard couldn't persuade her, he reached out to pull her away. Meng Xueyun got anxious and scratched him in return.
Her fingertips, like eagle claws, slashed fiercely, leaving a bloody mark on the young security guard's face.
Blood streamed down the security guard's face, and the scene fell silent for a moment.
"You're insane!"
Some of the students watching couldn't help but shout.
