Chapter 199 Grand and Impressive
What seemed like a simple rhetorical question sent a chill down Sun Wenxiu's spine in an instant.
Sun Wenxiu waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, of course not. Xiaoli is my biological daughter. Why would I cause trouble for her?"
"It's just that Qingxue is in big trouble, and I'm really desperate. I just want to borrow some money from her..."
Before Sun Wenxiu could finish speaking, Qi Chenyan interrupted her directly: "You can't afford Qianqian's medical expenses, right?"
Sun Wenxiu nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right, the medical expenses are too expensive. It's only been two or three days, and it already costs 50,000 yuan."
“Even if my husband and I work for a whole year, we can barely earn this much. Moreover, I have elderly parents to support and young children to raise, and we have accumulated a lot of debt over the years.”
"Let alone 50,000 yuan, I can't even scrape together 5,000 yuan. To ask for 50,000 yuan in cash all at once is like asking me to sell my blood!"
As she spoke, Sun Wenxiu recounted the hardships her family had endured: "Son-in-law, you have no idea. Although I remarried, the man I married was also a useless man."
"Not only did I not make any money, but I always had to shamelessly borrow money from here and there to scrape together what I could. If my family hadn't been in such a bad situation, I would never have been willing to send Xiaoli to live with her grandmother."
"After all, what parent in this world wouldn't love their child? Besides, Xiaoli is a piece of my flesh and blood, and I think about her all the time."
After recounting her difficulties, Sun Wenxiu played the emotional card: "But I know that no matter how many excuses I have, it is my fault as a mother for not raising Xiaoli by my side back then, causing her to lack maternal love from a young age."
"Once this is over, I swear, I will make up for all the years I've wronged Xiaoli..."
Upon hearing this, Qi Chenyan didn't want to listen anymore.
With a clatter, the teacup was placed on the table.
Although it was just a normal sound, it sent a chill down Sun Wenxiu's spine in an instant. Even though she hadn't finished playing the emotional card, she involuntarily shut her mouth.
"Since you chose a new family and abandoned Lili, it's ridiculous to talk about compensation now."
"You can fool a three-year-old child, but would you believe your own story if you tried to fool an adult?"
Sun Wenxiu clicked her tongue, feeling extremely guilty and unable to reply when faced with Qi Chenyan's sharp, cold eyes that seemed to see through everything.
Because she knew very well in her heart that she didn't really have much affection for her eldest daughter, Yu Li.
So when Yu Li's father refused to take her and wanted to give Yu Li to her, she also felt it was troublesome and passed the trouble to her grandmother without hesitation.
Even though she knew that the elderly man was old and that taking care of a young child would be very difficult, Sun Wenxiu did not want her new family to be affected by her child with her ex-husband.
“Son-in-law, your criticism is correct and makes perfect sense. No matter what the faults are, it is all my and Yu Li’s father’s fault. We failed in our responsibilities as parents and did not give Xiao Li a complete family…”
Qi Chenyan interrupted again, getting straight to the point: "There's no need for these high-sounding words anymore. Saying more would just be a waste of both of our time. I understand your needs."
"I will pay for Qianqian's medical expenses and subsequent treatment costs."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wenxiu was overjoyed and excitedly tried to shake Qi Chenyan's hand.
“I knew it. When she was little, a fortune teller told her that she was destined for great wealth and honor. I, as her mother, can rest assured that she will find a good husband like you!”
Qi Chenyan didn't care at all about the person's deliberate boasting, and first pushed a card in front of her.
When Sun Wenxiu saw the card, her eyes widened, and she was so excited that she stammered, "Son-in-law, this...this is..."
"There is 300,000 in this card, and the password is six zeros."
Three hundred thousand—that's a sum of money that Sun Wenxiu had never even seen before!
As expected of a wealthy person living in a big villa, this gesture is completely different from those poor wretches!
Sun Wenxiu even regretted not knowing sooner that Yu Li had married a rich man.
If she had known earlier, she would have come sooner and been able to get more money.
"Son-in-law, you're too kind. I'm so embarrassed."
While saying sorry, Sun Wenxiu couldn't wait to reach out and take the card.
But before the card could be touched, a long, slender hand covered it.
"This money wasn't taken for nothing."
Sun Wenxiu awkwardly withdrew her hand and rubbed her clothes. "I know, I know. Son-in-law, if you have any instructions, just say so. We're all family, so let's be open about what we have to say. There's no need to hide anything."
“Although you had Lili, you left her with her grandmother when she was only three years old. Over the years, she has depended on her grandmother for survival.”
"As parents, you not only failed to fulfill your responsibilities as parents, but you also harassed Grandma every now and then because you didn't have money. Over the years, how much money have you taken from Grandma? Do you need me to calculate this for you?"
Even the shameless Sun Wenxiu blushed with embarrassment when a junior revealed such an embarrassing secret to her face.
"I... I really had no choice, but it's not that I don't want to pay back the money..."
Qi Chenyan countered, "In the past twenty-odd years, even if we didn't charge you interest, have you ever repaid the principal even once?"
Sun Wenxiu was speechless.
They always say they'll pay it back when they borrow it, but when it comes time to pay it back, they keep saying "tomorrow, tomorrow, and tomorrow."
The more humble someone is when borrowing money, the more arrogant they become when it comes to repaying it. Conversely, the debtor is humbled, even grateful to get back the principal, let alone interest.
"Furthermore, over the past few years, you've borrowed money from Lili out of gratitude for raising you, and used it for your youngest daughter, without ever paying it back once, right?"
Sun Wenxiu clearly hadn't expected that Qi Chenyan would know so much inside information.
While smugly displaying his arrogance, he couldn't help but curse Yu Li in his heart: "That brat, she dares to tell everyone about family matters."
It is said that family scandals should not be aired in public. Even if you are a married couple, you should not tell your husband all the things about your mother's family. Otherwise, it will make her, as the mother-in-law, lose face in front of her son-in-law.
“These debts, plus the 300,000 in the card, will be wiped clean starting today.”
Before Sun Wenxiu could even feel happy for a second, Qi Chenyan's next words instantly made her stop laughing.
"Sign this agreement severing your parent-child relationship. From now on, you and Lili will no longer be mother and daughter."
