Chapter 48 "It's the truth, isn't it?"...
When Yu Xiaohan came to clean up yesterday, she had left her reading glasses here. It wasn't a big deal, but the night she got home, she tossed and turned dozens of times like a pancake.
Xu Maosen asked her what was wrong, but Yu Xiaohan remained silent. She waited until the snoring behind her ears became regular before finally letting out a sigh of relief. In the dead of night, she missed her late husband.
Over the years, Yu Xiaohan hadn't returned home to celebrate Dong Sheng's wedding, except for a single trip. She knew the He family had long ago kicked her out, and she no longer belonged in their family tree. She hadn't waited three years after her husband's death before she accepted Xu Maosen's suggestion and took her and her daughter back to their hometown.
When Xu Maosen begged her eagerly, he promised her, "Xiaohan, let's not talk about anything else. Regarding Xixi's schooling, I'll do whatever her biological father can do. Look, you named her Xixi. She looks too much like our Xu family's child."
A tear, a sigh, enough to last a long time. Looking back, Yu Xiaohan didn't regret her decision, even though some people considered her a mistress long ago, her reputation ruined. She was a coward, but even cowards have their own ways. She only had one daughter, and she hadn't stolen or robbed her. Consider it a shortcut, a shortcut that would allow her child to suffer less hardship and enjoy greater convenience. She was willing to endure the corresponding scorn.
Yu Xiaohan immediately knew who owned the men's razor on Xixi's sink. No wonder she was so preoccupied with her thoughts before leaving. Yu Xiaohan found it difficult to share this concern with Xu Maosen. Xu Maosen was a complete businessman. Not to mention the current prosperity of the Zong family, even when that bastard Zong Chi was squandering money and neglecting his job, Xu Maosen was fully supportive of Xixi's relationship with him. She didn't know that Xu Maosen was just relying on the kindness of his adoptive father and Xixi's kindness. After all, having a rich and powerful son-in-law is always a good thing.
Only at this point can one understand the significance of blood ties. As long as Old He was still around, Yu Xiaohan would always cry and argue in front of her husband. Your daughter is an extrovert after all, so why doesn't she learn her lesson? She even claims that the person in the news photo wasn't her. She thinks she's incredibly smart after all her years of studying, but she's actually just a fool. She can't get around that Zong guy. She clearly loved him so much, so why did she pretend to be so stubborn and say it was revenge? What kind of revenge would she have? She could barely eat a bowl of rice back then...
Yu Xiaohan's tears grew clearer as she finally let go of her grievances. She wanted nothing more than to curse her late husband, saying, "If you were still alive, your daughter wouldn't have such a temper." She held everything in, but she simply didn't have a real home or stable parents to rely on.
Everything was fine, why did she do this? If a child cannot return home, cannot complain, or even cannot ask for help, then it is the parents' fault.
After a night and most of the morning, Yu Xiaohan thought about it and decided to come to her daughter's place. She didn't inform Xixi, thinking of using the excuse of getting the magnifying glass. It would be best if someone was home and the brat was still here. He used to be good at this trick anyway.
Don't let Yu Xiaohan run into him. If she does, she will spit at him harshly. Why are you back again? Wasn't it enough that I killed you back then?
When I got to the door, I found a car and the door was open.
Yu Xiaohan simply packed up and rushed in. As soon as she entered the yard, she heard Xixi talking inside. Her return at this time further strengthened Yu Xiaohan's thoughts.
Just as her hand touched the sliding door, she heard another voice from inside. It wasn't Zong Chi's, but a woman's voice, and she was still calling Xiao Chi. Yu Xiaohan immediately understood something.
The grandmother claimed that she had found a marriage partner for her son.
Xixi then went to get something, and then she spoke a few words of finality. Finally, she inevitably mentioned marriage.
She claimed that she had never thought of marrying Muneaki.
Yu Xiaohan couldn't stand it anymore. If someone continued to bully her, she would crawl out of her grave even if she died.
Then she exploded. Yu Xiaohan knew very well that some people, even respectable ones, couldn't handle her. You said you hadn't thought about getting married, but you knew it wasn't her best plan to stop you.
Why would you sacrifice yourself for her pleasure? If you're not happy, then let's all be unhappy together!
Yu Xiaohan had long since figured out that fighting for a man to the point of bloodshed was never worth it. Similarly, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law revealed a man's strengths and weaknesses. Yu Xiaohan simply settled all the scores, old and new. She didn't say anything, but this time, Zong Chi still couldn't understand. Even if she killed him with a knife, she wouldn't let him get close to her daughter again.
Yu Xiaohan asked Xixi to call Zongchi. He Dongli stood there in embarrassment, her eyes pleading with her mother. Yu Xiaohan ignored her. She sat on the sofa, snatched Xixi's phone, and started to look through her address book.
Yu Weishi in the corridor outside suddenly turned around indifferently, as if he had finished speaking and was leaving.
Yu Xiaohan stood up suddenly and called out to the people outside, "Where is my mother-in-law going?"
Yu Weishi and Yu Xiaohan were roughly the same age, but the former lived a life of luxury. Even with their equally matched beauty, Yu Xiaohan was outshone by this wealthy woman. She was too beautiful, too beautiful for a mother of such a grown son, more like a rose that never fades. But she was a poisonous rose. She looked down on her daughter, simply because she resented Xixi for dominating her son's thoughts. Yu Xiaohan felt incredibly relieved at the thought, her anger rising. She was determined to tell this poisonous queen mother, "My daughter is planning to marry your son and then divorce him, and she won't let you live alone!"
"Why are you looking for a marriage partner for your son and coming to our Xixi?" Yu Xiaohan asked pointedly, "Is it because your son doesn't have much talent, but you can't raise him yourself, so you come and embarrass other people's children, right?"
Yu Wei Shizuo said indignantly: "Who am I embarrassing? I came in with your daughter's permission. I'm looking for her..."
"I don't care what you are. If she allows anything, I won't allow it."
"Why are you being unreasonable?"
Yu Xiaohan heard a huge joke, "I'm being unreasonable, but who is being unreasonable? You come here to embarrass my daughter and force her to break up with your son. You're a big family, but you've passed down these tricks from generation to generation, haven't you? After years of being a daughter-in-law, you've finally become a mother-in-law. You can finally make others suffer the same humiliation you suffered back then. So, you're not as patient as the old lady of the Zong family. They can ignore you for more than ten years and not even look at you. That's called tactics, not making things difficult for others!"
Yu Weishi was shaky and furious. "Didn't you just hear clearly? Your daughter said she had no plans to marry Zong Chi. If that's the case, why are you talking nonsense here? Is that fun?"
Yu Xiaohan turned around and snatched He Dongli's phone, and quickly found Zong Chi's phone number. She called the number on the other end. The moment the call was connected, she didn't explain anything. She called out to the other end by name, "Zong Chi, even if there is a knife attack outside today, you have to come here. Come here and tell your mother who is pestering whom. You can't explain it clearly today. Your parents don't know how to teach their children. I will help them teach them well. No matter how powerful your Zong family is, it is yours. We are not teasing you. Why does your mother always say that it is difficult for Xi Xi, since you already have a partner to marry, why are you messing with Xixi? You want one at home and one outside? You're dreaming! My daughter has been studying for so many years. I told you that she is not meant to be a match for you men. You haven't even earned the qualifications to marry her officially, and you're still thinking about keeping her as a concubine, right? Don't you think about whether you have the fate to do so? After all, your father dared to marry a second wife after divorcing his original wife. What's the matter? Are you any older than your father? Come here right now, get your mother out, and get all your things out of my daughter's room!"
When Yu Weishi heard this, it was like she was watching a mad drama unfold. She felt almost suffocated, unable to recover. She had never imagined that such a beautiful and calm daughter would have such a crazy mother. In silence, Yu Weishi's jaw trembled, like a piece of porcelain, cracking with an inaudible crack. She just wanted to turn away before it collapsed and shattered.
Aunt Tang, who was accompanying them in the car, heard some strange noises inside and hurried in. Yu Weishi immediately found support, and the master and employee were ready to leave together.
Yu Xiaohan looked at the people who were retreating step by step, and she was even more possessed by the god of war. She chased after them, saying that she would smash some people's calculations to pieces. "Why did you leave? You should have thought of this when you came. People with the surname Zong, let me tell you, you are not the only ones with a mouth. Your mouth can't speak properly. I can only say it more harshly than you. You look down on my daughter, but you won't let us do anything. Because my daughter was not raised for your son. You can clear yourself up. There is no point in leaving. Your son is alienated from you. That's your own problem. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. See whether your son comes here first or goes back to find you."
Aunt Tang hurriedly helped Wei Shi into the car. Then she turned back to greet Yu Xiaohan. Standing in the corridor, she even half-bowed and spoke on behalf of her employer, "We have absolutely no ill intentions in coming here. Xiao Chi's marriage partner is not what you think..."
Yu Xiaohan was already furious, and didn't care who was on the other side. She yelled at them all to get out. Aunt Tang had seen photos of Xiao Chi's girlfriend, and this time she saw the real person from a distance. She hurriedly shouted to the people inside, "Ms. He, it's true. Mrs. Zong did have her eyes on the other party, but it was only from the two mothers that she had some interest, and nothing was finalized. Mrs. Zong had no ill intentions in coming this time, she just wanted to talk to you. Miss Zhou was willful and insisted on seeing you before she would go back. Mrs. Zong was in a dilemma. Miss He, you know Xiao Chi's temper..." As soon as she said the name of the devil, Aunt Tang suddenly received a call from Xiao Chi. The person on the other end asked something, and Aunt Tang's face immediately turned pale.
After a moment, she wanted to explain something, but the other end gave her an order, and Aunt Tang said nothing more. She nodded slightly to Miss He and her daughter inside and said goodbye.
What Xiaochi said on the phone was: Give the phone to my mother. I know you are with her.
Yu Weishi retreated thousands of miles to the car. Her cell phone kept ringing in her handbag, but she ignored it.
Until Xiao Tang came back silently and handed her the phone. Yu Weishi didn't move angrily, and Xiao Tang had no choice but to turn on the phone.
All he could hear was Zong Chi asking faintly from the other end: "What happened, Mom? I want to hear it from you in person."
Yu Weishi's lips twitched. She found it difficult to truly admit to Xiaochi that she had come here to show her goodwill, like a pile of sand, smoothed and shaken evenly, it would return to its former state. But the mother and daughter seemed to be ungrateful. She really didn't understand why Xiaochi was placing her affection on such a girl, or even on her family background, and what good could she possibly get out of it. She even... Yu Weishi was unhappy that this trip hadn't gone as she had imagined. She could only pick out some relatively objective facts to convey to the other party, "Xiaochi, you're always confused. She said she never thought of marrying you."
Zong Chi was on the other end, silent and cold. "What did you just say?"
"I said, your girlfriend, she asked me to take your things back. She said it herself, no matter who you marry, she never thought of marrying you. Someone who never thought of having a future with you..."
"Well, why are you going to embarrass someone who won't marry me?" Zong Chi's voice was too calm, and even more lifeless than when he was left behind after being placed under house arrest and finally floated on the water exhausted.
The next second, the person on the other end of the line erupted in rage. Everything seemed irreparably humiliated. He angrily berated the other end, "Speak! Why?! I'm asking you, how much do you hate her to come and humiliate her? She's been perfectly content in China, in her own field, and hasn't had the slightest desire. I'm asking you, why are you embarrassing her? What right do you have to dislike her? Do I need your consent to like someone? What's your point in showing off in front of her? You're the mother-in-law? Hmm. You haven't received your mother-in-law's care in so many years that you're preemptively using up your compassion, right?"
"Zongchi!"
"Enough!" The voice on the other end was extremely angry, almost roaring, and scolded Yu Weishi, "You need to return to the hotel immediately. Of course, we need to meet before you go to meet my father. I have something I need to tell you in person. Return to the hotel immediately."
"Xiao Chi, since when did you always speak to me in this tone, impatient, irritable and ruthless? I can't see any warmth in your eyes."
"So you think it's someone else's problem. Whoever I love is their problem, right?"
“…”
Zong Chi said in an aggressive, almost strangling tone, "Speak!"
Yu Weishi was driven to tears. The other end didn't care at all. He was as cold and indifferent as a person holding a hand on the edge of a cliff about to fall. Suddenly, he heard something unpleasant, or perhaps he felt that the burden was beyond his ability to rescue. He acted decisively, and his words were like a dagger, severing the rope he was trying to pull to rescue him. "I've had insomnia for a while, and the doctors I saw couldn't treat me. I could only watch her videos to buffer and wean myself off. Aren't you curious why I like her so much? Because she can make me forget the fact that my parents don't love me. Even her mother's meticulous care made me realize that mothers and children can get along like this. You and my dad can refute my opinions and decisions, but you can't take away my feelings. My feelings won't betray me. They tell me that I haven't loved my parents that much since when, just as they don't love me either."
The next sentence Zong Chi gave to Aunt Tang was, "Accompany my mother back. Secretary Huang will be waiting for you downstairs. Aunt Tang, since you're so close to my mother, you should know the rules of our family. Failure to report something you know is considered a crime. Children enjoy the benefits of their parents, but they can also be implicated by their parents' unwise actions. This has been the case since ancient times."
Yu Weishi never thought that Zong Chi could say such an unkind thing. "Xiao Tang has been with me for so many years. I wanted to come here on my own. Why are you making things difficult for her?"
"You can't stand me making things difficult for someone I hired, so why do you feel comfortable making things difficult for someone I care about? Huh?!"
Yu Weishi's tears fell onto the back of her hand only after Zong Chi's voice completely faded from the receiver, creating several transparent petals.
*
The room returned to calm, but the smoke of gunpowder was still lingering.
He Dongli cautiously watched her mother, waiting for the knife to fall from her head. Her expression was even more devastated than if she had failed a major exam. Her words were harsh, but it was true. This was the worst experience she had ever known.
She didn't care about anything else. Especially since Yu Xiaohan was so desperate today, even though He Dongli felt a little stiff, she still felt the saying that a child with a mother is like a treasure. She should be thankful that she has a mother who is willing to do anything to support her daughter. When she was a child, before transferring back to another school, at a parent-teacher meeting, some of the boys' parents talked about how girls tend to lack stamina and their grades tend to decline if they take more science courses. Yu Xiaohan was making sarcastic remarks on the side, like a dwarf watching the show. Girls don't even have equal opportunities to be born and the right to go to school, so how can they be good at science, don't you think? That was also the time when she wanted to send her daughter to a prestigious school no matter what, saying that being in the same school with these short-sighted and ignorant people was really rustic, and the more backward you are, the more you will follow the crowd.
In the quiet, He Dongli's phone rang. She glanced at it with a startled look, then picked it up. It was a colleague asking if she was coming back for dinner, and He Dongli told him the truth. When she came back, Yu Xiaohan put on her reading glasses, glanced at her, and told her to go back to the hospital.
The person standing there did not move.
Yu Xiaohan also looked at her, scrutinizing her and remaining silent.
He Dongli then slowly said: "Mom, please be careful about your heart."
"When did it happen?"
"What?"
"Let me ask you, when did you get in touch with that unparalleled ancestor?" In Yu Xiaohan's simple and rough worldview, "get in touch" is not a good word, and it is even derogatory.
He Dongli didn't say anything.
Yu Xiaohan asked again: "If I don't come today, how long are you going to keep it a secret from me?"
"It's not really a secret. You heard it, and this is the result." He Dongli thought this was not a bad ending.
"Really?" Yu Xiaohan asked back.
He Dongli did not answer, using silence as a sign of agreement and firmness.
After a moment, Yu Xiaohan sat back on the sofa. At the same time, she took a deep breath, and changed her previous reserved and tense state. "Just lie to yourself. Xixi, I gave birth to you and raised you. It's not shameful to admit a little weakness in front of your own mother. You still know how to persuade me. When your father died, I was only in my thirties. It's normal to have my own desires. Now it's your turn. You've read so much that your brain has become useless, right?"
"No, Mom, I don't know how to tell you. I've been looking forward to his return for years, but now that he's really back, I'm scared. How can I tell you..."
"He's got a bad temper. He said that because he was furious. I know he was mad at the two Xu family members for bullying you, and I didn't stand up for you. I don't care what he says, I just care what he does. Xixi, you can't be so foolish this time. In the past, you relied on your youth and couldn't wait to break up. I have to say this to you too. You keep saying break up, and you even ruin good people. Besides, he was a killer to begin with. Now the two of you can't help but get together again. Do you really just want to be with him for a while? He can afford it, but can you? Even if you don't want to get married for the rest of your life, then I want to ask you, since you don't have that intention anymore, why bother with him? Darling, don't blame me for my old-fashioned thinking. In this world, women always suffer. You've been with their son innocently for so many years. Just give it a try. If you really make up your mind to break up with him this time, you can see how many more years he can stay with you. How do you know he hasn't found another woman in the past few years?"
"Mom, you might laugh at me when I say this. But I trust my intuition."
"You trust your intuition, so why are you frightened by that mother of his again?"
He Dongli looked up at her mother. Yu Xiaohan called her a fool. "A man has lost his mind to you, and you still need others to exaggerate. You should be the first to realize it. What the one who left their family later said is probably the truth."
"She is the aunt her mother brought from China to Singapore. She has been serving her for many years." After He Dongli finished saying this, there was a sound of someone hurriedly entering the door.
*
Zong Chi stopped at the bedroom door. He was still wearing the same clothes as last night. Due to inertia, he stopped by holding on to the sliding door.
He loosened the door frame and came in. He first glanced at He Dongli, then looked at Yu Xiaohan who was sitting there. He was about to greet her seriously, but he didn't know what to say.
He used to call her "Auntie" politely at first, but after getting to know her better, he followed He Dongli and occasionally started jokingly calling her "Ms. Yu" or "Old Yu". Sometimes in greeting messages, he would also teasingly call her "mother-in-law".
But today, just as he was about to open his mouth, Yu Xiaohan stopped him coldly, but not to him, "He Dongli, go back to work. You're so clueless all day long, neither getting any money nor any work. Are you going to waste the last bit of your talent? If you do, you'll crawl all the way back to your father's grave. Your life has been wasted anyway!"
The person who was named found it difficult to move for a while. She lowered her eyes. Zong Chi looked at her several times, but she did not respond.
He couldn't help but walk over to her side and explained seriously in front of her mother, "I don't have a marriage partner. Something happened in the group last night, and I went to deal with it." Then, facing Yu Xiaohan, he called her seriously, "Ms. Yu, Xixi said you had a heart operation. It's easy for you to hit me or scold me, but to protect your health first, you should ask Xixi to stay for a while. Otherwise, I'm a little scared..."
Before he could finish his words, Yu Xiao turned his face coldly towards him, "Don't call me daughter so enthusiastically. I didn't call you 'Xixi' for you. I called you here to get rid of your cunning mother. Oh, she couldn't wait and left on her own. Your trip can't be in vain. I am now officially informing you that I don't agree with you two being together anymore. My daughter has also officially informed your mother that she will not marry you. She never thought of this step. We are ordinary people and can't live up to the high status of your clan."
"I can apologize for my mother coming here, but I don't believe you when you said Xixi never thought about marrying me." Zong Chi argued slightly.
Yu Xiaohan snorted, "You don't believe it? What right do you have to disbelieve it? I don't care whether you believe it or not. Just take all your belongings from me. Zong, you can marry whoever you want. I'm telling you, my daughter won't serve you. Your mother came over so arrogantly and treated my daughter badly. I shouldn't have let her go. I should have slapped her son in the face right in front of her."
This time, Zong Chi strode towards Yu Xiaohan and said in a serious tone, "If a few slaps can calm you down, I won't give in even a little bit."
"Go away!" Yu Xiaohan was so angry that he threw something at him. When he looked closely, he found that it was an air conditioner remote control. It hit his chin. The remote control fell to the ground and broke into several pieces, and the battery rolled out intact.
Zong Chi bent down without saying a word, picked it up, threw it again, and placed it next to the initiator.
Yu Xiaohan's expression was even more furious than seeing a dog destroying a house. She threw it again, this time with a little more force and raised it a little higher, hitting it directly on her eyelid.
He Dongli was really uncomfortable watching from the side. She couldn't vent her mother's anger, nor could she directly support him. When Zong Chi continued to pick up the pieces and handed them to Yu Xiaohan, she finally couldn't help it and said, "Okay, can you use something else to smash it?"
Yu Xiaohan scolded Xixi Shao for interrupting, "I told you to go back to the hospital, but you turned a deaf ear to me, didn't you?"
He Dongli was so angry that he turned around and left, thinking that out of sight, out of mind.
Finally, the sound of the remote control hitting the ground for the third time could be heard from inside. Yu Xiaohan's words were sharp and decisive. She asked Zong Chi, "Why did you come back to mess with my daughter again? Haven't you made her suffer enough?"
This time, Zong Chi was silent for a long time. Then he slowly said, "Yes, I know. If you ask me why, I can't answer. Anyway, I can't leave her. Yes, I can't think of any other reason."
"Since you can't think of a good reason, just go back. Honestly, it's not hard to find a son for your clan. Isn't your mother looking for one for you?"
Before Yu Xiaohan could finish her words, Zong Chi hurriedly interrupted her, "Do you think I'm the type that needs to be scouted by others?"
"You really asked me the wrong question. I'm a poor old woman with no education and no manners. How can I know the rules of your rich family?" Yu Xiaohan scolded harshly.
Zong Chi was not discouraged and carefully considered himself, "Well, that was my mother's unilateral personal wish. It was also before I came here. I guarantee that this kind of situation will never happen again."
"That's your family's business. I can't explain it to you clearly, you and Xixi are not suitable..."
"I will live separately from my parents. They are in Singapore and we are in China."
"Throughout history, there has always been a sense of family distinction. There is indeed truth in the saying that people of equal social status should be matched. We are not worthy of you."
"How much does it take to be considered worthy of her? Financially, I've kept the shares she returned to me, and the gains I've made over the years are enough to support her. Academically, I'm not as good as her, so do I need to pursue further studies before I can come back and talk to you?"
"I know my daughter well. She's a simple-minded person, and all she wants is to follow her teacher and perform surgery well. She doesn't even need to be trained in social skills to climb the academic ladder. With your family, and your mother coming over today, I'm sure I could have made it. If I hadn't, your mother would have eaten my daughter!"
"My mom lives in Singapore, and Xixi lives in China. I guarantee they'll never eat from the same pot."
"Promise, what can you promise? Can you also promise that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will never see each other in their lives?"
Unexpectedly, Zong Chi was adamant, "I can't promise we'll never see each other again, but I promise we'll live in separate houses and families. I'll hire a lawyer to write this into the prenuptial agreement. I'm an example myself. My parents couldn't bear it and returned to their family, but I was determined to stay in China, which caused us to drift further and further apart. I desperately wanted to come back all those years, partly because I wanted to spend more time with Xixi, but also because I wanted her to spend more time with me. You may not believe it, but I understand better than anyone what it's like to be adrift and feel that sense of disconnectedness. So I won't follow in my parents' footsteps, and I certainly won't let Xixi follow in my mother's footsteps."
"That's just wishful thinking on your part." Yu Xiaohan had never questioned or set more rules than today. "During those years you were with her, you had enough wishful thinking, ah!"
Zong Chi stated quietly, "Yes, I made many mistakes, even to the point of deserving death. But now I know that Xixi loves me just as much as I miss her."
"You know nothing!"
"I know it. Anyway, I know it. She loves me. I don't need her to tell me."
Yu Xiaohan suddenly made the sound of getting up. He Dongli, who had been leaning against the doorway, listened to the movement and moved slightly to the side. Yu Xiaohan suddenly intensified her scolding, "You know, you only know that she loves you and cares about you, but you knew she was brought back by your father's car. I was anxious to reduce her fever, but she went out to buy emergency contraception without telling me. Before she could take it, she found out she had her period and smiled at me foolishly, saying that God was finally on her side for once. When her fever was the worst at night, she asked me how much I had to love someone to be willing to bear his child. It seems that I don't love Zong Chi that much. I don't want to have a child for him, physically or mentally, but I just dreamed that I had a child. Mom, I was so scared that I was sweating..."
"Do you know all this? Don't talk about the fact that you were put under house arrest by your father when you returned. You deserved it. Do you know that your mother not only looked for Xixi this time, but also after you broke up..."
He Dongli suddenly appeared, "Mom!"
Yu Xiaohan didn't care. "Your mother kept saying that it was Xixi who seduced you, which is why you didn't want to go abroad in high school. Your mother made her promise not to see you again and to delete all contact information about you. She also gave her a sum of money. This money has been weighing on her like a weight for five years, and she has never used a cent of it. You know why, she was afraid that if she used it, she would be too embarrassed to give it back. This money was clearly humiliated by your mother and forced on her. Xixi is just being so mean. She thinks that after accepting this money, she has no right to talk about dignity and backbone with your mother. In fact, it's all bullshit. My daughter will never return this money to your clan. Take your things and get out! The farther the better!"
Yu Xiaohan cursed, his saliva flying, but the man across from him remained silent. He sat there motionless, as if he had been there forever, in a dark, damp place, without a ray of sunlight.
In just a moment, his eyelids seemed to be stinging red from being hit, and he didn't even blink. Finally, Yu Xiaohan, who came around the coffee table, pushed him hard, as if to drive him away.
Zong Chi stumbled to the side. Yu Xiaohan pushed him like a piece of paper, pushing him like a piece of paper. Then, Yu Xiaohan threw his two bags at his feet like dog skins and yelled at him to take them away.
Zong Chi's gaze was like a piece of burning scarlet incense, which trembled slightly and extinguished, and a piece of incense ash fell into He Dongli's eyes, hands, and feet.
Like a puppet, he picked up the things at his feet and walked out in an obedient manner.
When passing by He Dongli, she felt that Zong Chi was passing through her body. He was a ghost and she was a human, and humans and ghosts were on different paths.
Suddenly, the ghost was driven by something and sensed something. He remembered something and looked down at the thing in his hand. He put down the Hermès bag and said to Yu Xiaohan with grievance: "This is for you."
"I can't afford it. Master Zong, you should take him back, lest the tax bureau find out about me."
Zong Chi did not comply this time. He just slumped his shoulders, carried his luggage bag, and nodded in farewell. After they had already walked down the steps of the entrance hall, he turned back in despair, tripped over a floor mat, and reached out awkwardly to hold on to the shoe cabinet. He glanced at He Dongli, and finally walked up to her in front of Yu Xiaohan. When their eyes met, He Dongli saw that there was a big red spot on his eyelids, and his eyes were also red. He asked her, "So, you have never thought about marrying me. You are telling the truth, right?"
