Gao Yan had no intention of driving the car back to his adoptive parents' house. He came back this time to sever ties, not to show off or embarrass himself.
After parking his car in the mall's underground garage, Gao Yan hailed a taxi and headed towards the residential area where his adoptive parents lived.
"Gao Yan, you're back! It's been a while since I've seen you. Is your school on holiday?"
As soon as I entered the residential area, Mr. Li, the security guard at the gate, greeted me.
"Yes, Uncle Li, even on holiday, you're still so healthy!"
Gao Yan answered with a smile.
"You're much more talkative than before, unlike how quiet you used to be!"
Grandpa Li joked.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir. Let's chat again sometime. I'll head back now!"
Gao Yan waved to Grandpa Li and strode towards Building 12.
Watching Gao Yan's retreating figure, Grandpa Li muttered to himself, thinking that Gao Yan had changed a lot. If he hadn't watched him grow up, he wouldn't have recognized him at first glance.
I just arrived at the door of Unit 1, Building 12.
Suddenly, the unit door opened, and Gao Lang walked out.
"Damn it, Gao Yan, you ungrateful wretch! How dare you come back!"
Upon seeing Gao Yan, Gao Lang didn't give him a friendly look, but instead directly mocked him.
Gao Yan's expression darkened slightly. He had no interest in arguing with Gao Lang and asked, "Are Mom and Dad home?"
Today is Saturday.
Yang Huishan, the adoptive mother, is a full-time housewife and does not need to work. Her adoptive father is the owner of a small advertising company and should not work unless there are special circumstances.
"Tsk tsk, that person is really shameless. They're not even answering the phone anymore, yet they still have the nerve to call me Mom and Dad. Could it be that they're out of money and are coming back to ask for more?"
Seeing that Gao Yan didn't respond, Gao Lang continued to mock him.
Upon hearing this, Gao Yan frowned slightly and looked coldly at Gao Lang. For some reason, Gao Lang felt a sense of fear in his heart when he felt Gao Yan's gaze.
But immediately, he escalated his words, saying, "Gao Yan, let me tell you, you ingrate, don't even think about getting a single penny from my parents. This isn't your home, so get the hell out of here!"
"Don't worry, I didn't come back to ask your parents for money. I came back this time to sever ties with you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yan ignored Gao Lang and strode towards the stairwell.
This is an old-style residential area without elevators. The highest floor is only six stories, and the adoptive parents live on the sixth floor.
"Sever ties?"
Gao Lang's eyes widened. He clearly wanted to kick Gao Yan out of the house, but for some reason, he felt inexplicably annoyed when he heard that Gao Yan had taken the initiative to sever ties with them upon his return.
So he quickly caught up with Gao Yan and shouted from behind, "Gao Yan, you're dreaming! You've been eating and drinking for free in our house for so many years, and my parents even supported your education. You think you can just cut ties with us like that!"
Gao Yan ignored Gao Lang's shouts and quickened his pace upstairs.
Soon, Gao Yan arrived at the sixth floor.
He then raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"They're here!"
The voice of her adoptive mother, Yang Huishan, came from inside the door.
When Yang Huishan opened the door and saw Gao Yan, she was first stunned, then her face darkened: "You still know how to come back!"
"Mom, this ungrateful wretch is back to cut ties with us!"
"I can't breathe!" Gao Lang shouted loudly.
"Mom, let's go inside and talk!" Gao Yan said calmly.
"Hmph, come in!"
Gao Yan walked into the living room, sat down on the sofa, and asked, "Where's Dad?"
"You wait!"
Yang Huishan entered the bedroom and woke up Gao Jincheng from his afternoon nap, saying irritably, "That ingrate is back, saying he wants to cut ties with us!"
Gao Jincheng frowned, his face darkening. He walked out of the bedroom with a grim expression, his gaze falling on Gao Yan.
Gao Yan showed no fear whatsoever, and smiled as he met his gaze: "Dad, it's been a long time."
"I heard you're back this time to sever ties with us?" Gao Jincheng said coldly.
“We can sever ties, but you’ve been eating and drinking for free in our house for so many years, and you have to return all the tuition fees and such!” Gao Lang couldn’t help but interject.
Gao Yan ignored Gao Lang and instead said to his adoptive parents, "You adopted me because you couldn't have a son, but now that you have your own son, I've become superfluous in this family. Since that's the case, why don't we sever all ties? What do you say?"
Yang Huishan scolded, "Xiao Lang is right, you are a complete ingrate. Now that you've grown up, you want to sever ties with us. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have adopted you in the first place!"
"Have you thought this through?" Gao Jincheng's face grew increasingly gloomy.
"I've thought it through!"
"Fine, I promise you!" Gao Jincheng said coldly.
"No, I won't agree! He has to pay!" Gao Lang jumped out again: "We can't let him get away with this!"
At this moment, Gao Yan looked at him and said, "Are you sure you want to stop this? As far as I know, adopted sons also have inheritance rights. If I remember correctly, the family has three houses. When my parents get old, I should be able to get one of them!"
Although Gao Yan intended to offer money as compensation, he would not say so upon meeting them. Instead, he would wait until they agreed to sever ties before giving it to them. Otherwise, who knew if they would use it as blackmail?
"You're dreaming! The house and all the other property are mine. You won't get a single penny!" Gao Lang shouted, jumping up and down.
"That's not up to you!"
Gao Yan chuckled and shook his head: "Everything I said is based on law. Even if you don't give it to me, I can get my share through a lawsuit!"
