"I'll have my lawyer contact you. If you had known this would happen, why were you so cruel to me in the first place?" Song Xia stopped looking at Sun Xiurong and walked out of the ward indifferently.
Sun Xiurong seemed to have lost all her energy. It would be impossible for her not to hate at this moment. However, in addition to hatred, she also had some regrets. Before Song Xia was kicked out, when had she ever been in such a sorry state?
Back then, even a minor cold would have Song Xia running around taking care of me, providing different nourishing soups and porridges every day, making me feel comfortable. But now, lying in a hospital bed unable to move, I don't know who I can rely on.
Jiawei is too young, and his daughter is only after his son's money. Not to mention the others, after thinking it over, only Song Xia, an outsider, has ever been truly sincere to him.
Who would have thought that this little bitch Song Xia would suddenly be so heartless? If things were discussed properly, she might have been able to offer some money, and might have stood up for her daughter when she bullied Song Xia.
That's 680,000 yuan! It's the money to save my son's life! How can that bitch Song Xia feel at ease taking it? Isn't she afraid of being haunted by ghosts?
At this moment, Sun Xiurong forgot how hateful and disdainful she was when Song Xia first made a scene. Now she regrets it, only to find that she is even worse off after driving away Song Xia, an outsider. If she were not lying in a hospital bed at this moment, if she had not been plagued by nightmares last night, she would never have given in. And even if she regrets it, she will only hurl endless insults.
Just like before, when Qin Jiawei disrespected Song Xia, or when Qin Yuping bullied Song Xia, when did she ever stand up for her? Wasn't it because she taught those two to escalate their behavior?
There's no going back in life; you have to bear the consequences of your past misdeeds.
Song Xia was in a much better mood. It was worth all the threatening she had done these past few days. Now the design of the courtyard could begin, and once the lease was signed, she could immediately hire someone to do the renovations.
"Why did Sun Xiurong suddenly agree to give the money?" Hua Ling had witnessed her prowess firsthand, so she found it particularly unbelievable.
"Firstly, the court has ruled in our favor. Secondly, I caused a scene at Qin Yuping's workplace a few days ago, so they're probably afraid I'll keep making trouble," Song Xia explained succinctly. "Mom, you should rest well. They shouldn't bother us again."
"It's good that they didn't come." Hua Ling breathed a heavy sigh of relief. "It's good that we can get back more than 600,000 yuan."
Song Shunguo scoffed, "I think they got off easy. My daughter has worked so hard all these years, endured so much suffering. No amount of money can buy that back! What's 680,000?"
Hua Ling retorted irritably, "If your daughter weren't so stupid, who would let her suffer so much? Most people would have quit living with that family long ago."
Song Xia awkwardly touched her nose and smiled ingratiatingly, "Mom, you're right. I will definitely learn from this lesson and not live my life in a muddle anymore. Please, I'm begging you, can we not bring up what happened before?"
"So you do know how to be shy." Hua Ling glared at her, but really didn't say anything more.
Ye Tingting ate with a faint smile. The food was delicious today. Everything her mother made was delicious!
In the afternoon, her junior brother asked what kind of snacks they would have for tomorrow. Even the two teachers, though they didn't say it, knew they were looking forward to it. And her classmates, because of the pastries she had brought over the previous two times, were now incredibly enthusiastic about her. Even her homeroom teacher had subtly asked when her mother's private kitchen would open. Could she be considered to have the best mother in the world?
"Dad, have you quit your job yet? You have a lot of responsibilities now. Not only do you have to supervise the renovation of the courtyard, but you also have to learn to drive. I've already registered you for driving school."
"You really want to learn?" Song Shunguo asked somewhat nervously. "Your dad is already this old. If I can't learn it, wouldn't it be a waste of money?"
Song Xia grinned: "Then Dad, you should study hard. After we move over there, you don't want your daughter to have to cook and drive Tingting around so hard, do you?"
“I can take the bus by myself. I’m all grown up now. All my classmates go to and from school by themselves,” Ye Tingting quickly replied.
Then Song Xia interrupted, "No matter how old you are, I'm still worried about you walking alone on the road. Besides, besides picking you up and dropping you off, I also need to buy groceries occasionally. And you can't grow everything in the yard."
Song Shunguo's expression became much more serious upon hearing this, and he assured him, "Then Dad will definitely help you pass the exam. We'll start reviewing for the first subject after dinner."
Song Xia smiled triumphantly. She knew her father was capable. After all, her father was a rare high school student in that era, and he had always been bold yet meticulous. She deliberately said these things to put some pressure on her father, otherwise he would always procrastinate and think that it was not important.
Once her father finishes his studies, she doesn't plan to trouble him unless he's really busy. After all, she never intended to make a large-scale business with her private kitchen. If she's busy with business, where will she find the time to spend with her family?
After dinner, Song Xia and her daughter made pastries together. Today they were making quirky cookies, and according to each person's different tastes, they prepared four flavors: original, chocolate, matcha, and cranberry.
There are many varieties and a large quantity needed. Not only do we need to bring some to Tingting's calligraphy teacher, but also some to the school. In addition, we can't forget Xia Ru, Xiao Cheng, and Liang Zheng either, since these cookies are also snacks that will appear at their company's annual meeting next week. It would be best to let them try them first.
Making cookies was the simplest thing for her, but it was a particularly surprising experience for Ye Tingting.
My mom's method is exactly the same as the one in the online video, and she doesn't even measure the ingredients exactly, she just adds them randomly based on her feeling, but somehow the cakes she bakes taste better than those from bakeries!
"Mom, do your hands have magic powers?"
Seeing her daughter's surprised expression, Song Xia tapped her nose with the remaining flour: "You just ate two bowls of rice, how can you still eat now? Don't you feel greasy?"
Ye Tingting shook her head, even with regret: "I don't think so, Mom. I wish I had a bigger appetite. Your cooking is never enough."
"There will come a day when you've had enough to eat. Your mother will cook for you for the rest of her life."
I'll eat my mom's cooking for the rest of my life!
In the past, Ye Tingting wouldn't have dared to even think about it. Although her mother ignored her before, she knew that her mother wasn't lying this time, and that her mother would really stay with her from now on.
Nowadays, people online look down on "mama's boys" and "mama's girls," but she insists on being a "mama's girl" for her mother her whole life.
