Xiang Niannian originally planned to take Zhang Wenyan to stay in a hotel, but she refused no matter what.
"Why are you staying in a hotel?! Are you rich?! Or have you been saving up some secret money?"
"Aren't you quite capable? You have your own rented apartment, yet you're taking me to stay in a hotel?"
"Don't think I don't know you and your dad are secretly in contact. Do you think his phone can escape my notice?"
"......"
Listening to Zhang Wenyan's words, Xiang Niannian remained silent and instead led her to her rented apartment.
When Zhang Wenyan arrived at Xiang Niannian's rented apartment, she looked around and immediately started scolding her: "No wonder you don't go home anymore. So you're living the high life here."
"By the way, how much do you make a month doing part-time work these days? You think you're all grown up now, capable and independent, and you don't even want your family anymore?"
Xiang Niannian listened as her so-called biological mother showed no concern or greetings from the moment she saw her, only endless scolding and abuse.
She closed her eyes to calm herself, and spoke with extreme composure: "What are you doing here? I've already made myself very clear about the 500,000 yuan."
She has given up hope.
"What 500,000? Let me tell you, don't even think about it. That 500,000 isn't even enough to repay the debt of raising me, let alone severing ties."
Without saying a word, Zhang Wenyan walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down. Her eyes darted around to make sure there were no male items, and then she felt relieved.
"What have you done to support me? What have you done to raise me?"
Xiang Niannian looked at Zhang Wenyan, who was looking around, and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
"How dare you talk to your own mother like that?" Zhang Wenyan poured herself a glass of water and drank it.
Xiang Niannian didn't want to waste any more time with her. She was afraid that if she continued talking, she would only hear more unpleasant things. She picked up her coat and walked out: "I'm going back to school first. You can stay here. I'll book your ticket back tomorrow."
Seeing Xiang Niannian's coldness, Zhang Wenyan panicked, after all, she was counting on her to make money.
"No, why are you in such a hurry to send me back? Are you really secretly dating someone behind my back? Tell me, who is that guy? Does he have any money?! Don't..."
Zhang Wenyan was stunned by Xiang Niannian's voice before she could finish speaking.
"Enough!"
Xiang Niannian tried to look up at the ceiling, not wanting her tears to fall.
"I've told you, everything I have now has nothing to do with you. So what if I'm in a relationship? He's broke, his family is dirt poor, but I can't help it, I just love him, I love him to death..."
"Smack..."
Before Xiang Niannian could finish speaking, she felt a sharp pain on her face.
It's ridiculous. Not a single word of concern from beginning to end, but instead, a resounding slap. This is her biological mother.
Zhang Wenyan's hand was trembling as she hit Xiang Niannian, not because she felt guilty, but because she had really used a lot of force.
This was the first time Zhang Wenyan had seen Xiang Niannian so rebellious. Before, no matter what she said, Xiang Niannian would only say a few words, which wouldn't be considered talking back. But now, she was contradicting herself again and again.
"Does it hurt? If it does, that's good! I'm just trying to wake you up, you idiot. What did I tell you from the beginning? Why did you have to do the opposite of what I said? If you had done everything I said, wouldn't you be the one living a good life?"
Xiang Niannian, who had been hit, covered half of her face without saying a word. Her red eyes, filled with tears, looked at Zhang Wenyan with endless despair in them.
"So, from beginning to end, it was all under the guise of doing what's best for me, forcing me to do anything I didn't want to do or didn't like?"
Do you really consider me your own daughter?
"All along, I have only been a tool for you to make money and a worthless slave."
Without any hesitation, he ran out after saying that.
The moment she stepped out of the door and into the elevator, Xiang Niannian could no longer hold back her tears, which instantly streamed down her face.
She once naively thought that her mother didn't not love her, but rather doted on her younger brother. Therefore, she was very sensible and never asked for anything or did anything, and she understood her family.
She studied hard, thinking she could make her mother proud, but she never expected that her mother didn't care about such things.
She worked hard to earn money and gave every penny she earned to her mother, thinking that this would make her mother love her more. Little did she know that her mother would sell herself to a rich man. Haha.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Xiang Niannian stepped out.
"Ah...help..."
"It's you, Niannian, it's me."
As soon as Xiang Niannian stepped out of the elevator, she was pulled into someone's arms. She had resisted due to her intense emotions, but when she heard the familiar voice, she couldn't control herself any longer and started crying loudly in Su Chuanlin's arms.
Because Su Chuanlin hadn't seen Xiang Niannian's face, he assumed he had scared her when he heard her crying.
The memory of that New Year's Eve night flashed through my mind, and I immediately panicked, hugging her tightly and repeatedly apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I've been downstairs at your place, I was worried you might need something, so I've been waiting..."
Su Chuanlin didn't expect that his words of comfort would only make the person in his arms cry even louder.
It was late at night, and the person in his arms was still crying. Helpless, he had no choice but to pick her up, supporting Xiang Niannian's buttocks with one hand and protecting her waist with the other, and quickly walked towards the car.
Hearing Xiang Niannian's cries, Su Chuanlin felt extremely distressed and constantly blamed himself.
He carried her directly to the passenger seat, and the two of them squeezed into one seat, with Xiang Niannian straddling his lap.
Normally, Xiang Niannian would be extremely shy and struggle to get down.
But this time, the person in his arms didn't cry; instead, she was still sobbing loudly. Finally, Su Chuanlin realized something was wrong.
"Niannian, please don't cry, okay?"
"Can I see you?"
"I've always been by your side, don't be afraid, okay?"
"I'm just looking at you. Stop crying, your crying makes me want to cry too."
"......"
While comforting her, Su Chuanlin tried to lift Niannian's head from his embrace. He could feel the warmth and moisture on his chest, which showed how many tears she had shed.
Xiang Niannian didn't look up, but shook her head in his arms; she didn't want to.
Su Chuanlin sighed softly, no longer pressuring her. Instead, he held her tightly, his large, warm hands gently patting her back. Sometimes, silent comfort is the best.
It's unclear how much time passed before Xiang Niannian's crying gradually subsided.
At this moment, Su Chuanlin loosened his grip slightly, cupped her head in his hands, and made her face him.
The moment Xiang Niannian looked up at Su Chuanlin, his breath caught in his throat!
PS: Here I come!
