A slender woman with curly hair rushed towards her and, without saying a word, grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the elevator.
"Your dad, your brother, and I have been waiting for you at the door for ages! Where have you been gallivanting off to?!" the woman said impatiently. "Hurry up and open the door so we can come in and rest a bit. We're exhausted from standing here all day!"
Yu Chaoxi looked at the three people standing at her door, somewhat surprised.
In this body's memory, Yu's father and mother did not know where their daughter lived, nor did they care where she lived, and never asked how they found her today.
However, this was just what she was looking for; she wanted to find time to clean up her relationship with this family.
She opened the door. "Come in and we'll talk."
At the same time, she mentally invoked the system.
"Rabbit, help me turn on the recording mode."
"Okay! Recording mode has been activated for the host!"
Yu Chaoxi went in first and sat down alone on a single sofa. The two bodyguards Huo Linyuan had sent to help her move were standing behind the sofa, staring at the hostile family coming from across the way.
Full of momentum.
Yu's father, Yu's mother, and Yu Guangyao swaggered in, walked around the room, and then sat down on the sofa.
Yu Guangyao frowned and said with disdain, "This place is too small. You're a big star like me, and you live in such a shabby place? It's not as comfortable as our house."
Yu Chaoxi smiled sarcastically. In the past, the original owner of this body sent all the money she earned back to them, keeping only enough for rent and daily food.
She entered the entertainment industry three years ago, rising from a nobody to a third or fourth-tier star. The money she sent back home enabled them to move from their hometown in the countryside to the city and even buy a villa.
They drink her blood, and now they complain about how shabby her house is.
"As you can see, I live in a rented room in Beijing and only have a few hundred yuan on me. If you're here for money, you should go back as soon as possible."
Yu Chaoxi's words made Yu's mother's face stiffen. She had originally planned to exchange some perfunctory pleasantries before subtly bringing up the matter of money, but Yu Chaoxi went straight to the point, so Yu's mother decided not to hide anything anymore.
Yu Chaoxi's uncooperative attitude also angered her.
"How could you be broke? Don't pretend to be poor to me. If a kind person hadn't told us you were being kept by a rich man, we would have actually believed your nonsense!"
"You think you can't find us just because you've blocked our contact information? We have plenty of ways to deal with you!"
Yu Chaoxi frowned, her face turning frosty. "Who told you?"
"Don't try to change the subject if you don't know who she is," Mother Yu said unhappily. "Let me tell you, you are my child, and you should never think of getting rid of us. The money you earn should be sent home to help your younger brother!"
Her words made the two bodyguards behind the sofa frown.
Is this something a mother would say?
One of the bodyguards, worried that Yu Chaoxi was being bullied by this family, quietly went to the balcony and made a phone call to Huo Linyuan.
Mother Yu continued, “Your brother owes 30 million, and now debt collectors come to our door every day with knives to collect the debt. If you don’t help him pay it back, you’re forcing him to die! If anything happens to him, our Yu family will… we’ll expel you from the family!”
Yu Chaoxi was eager to be expelled and completely sever ties with them, so she immediately agreed, "Okay, let's sever ties now!"
"You..." Mother Yu was speechless for a moment.
What's wrong with this brat today? Wasn't she the one who cared most about her family before? As long as she was threatened to cut ties with her, she would come running to apologize and try to raise the money.
Was the pressure too much?
After thinking about it, Yu's mother realized that 30 million was indeed a lot, but that brat would always find a way to raise it!
"Dad! Look at my sister! She's hooked up with a rich guy and now she wants to dump us!" Yu Guangyao immediately complained unhappily, urging his father to stand up for justice.
He wasn't very tall, and in recent years he'd been eating well and being too lazy to exercise, so he'd become quite overweight. He sat on the sofa and kicked and thrashed at the table as if in a fit of rage, and Yu Chaoxi was afraid he'd break the sofa.
Mr. Yu also spoke up, "Xiao Xi, we are family. Blood is thicker than water. Can you bear to watch your brother live in fear every day, unable to go home, and hiding from debt collectors?"
Yu Chaoxi sneered, "Did I tell him to gamble? The money I've sent back over the years is all I have, almost ten million. If you want thirty million, you might as well just rob a bank."
"In my opinion, we should just have those loan sharks cut off his hands and feet to pay off his debts, and he'll behave himself from then on."
Yu Guangyao couldn't believe that such cold and ruthless words could come from her mouth, which was at a 37-degree angle.
He immediately pointed at Yu Chaoxi and shouted, "Mom and Dad! Look at her!"
Yu Chaoxi gave the two bodyguards behind her a wink, "Give him a few punches to teach him not to point his finger at people."
Before Yu's parents could react, one of the bodyguards quickly stepped forward and punched Yu Guangyao several times.
He had long disliked these three people, and he showed no mercy, beating Yu Guangyao until his face swelled up instantly.
"Ouch! Ouch!"
Yu Guangyao was usually pampered and spoiled at home, and had never been hit before. After being punched a few times, he immediately covered his face and cried out in pain.
"Mom! She hit me!!!"
Yu's mother quickly hugged Yu Guangyao's head and held him protectively in her arms, "You unfilial daughter! How dare you let someone beat your brother! You've really gone too far!"
Enraged, Yu's father stood up and raised his hand to teach Yu Chaoxi a lesson, but was stopped by another bodyguard.
With Yu Chaoxi's tacit approval, the bodyguard also gave Yu's father a few punches.
"This is outrageous! A daughter hitting her father! You are such an unfilial daughter! You ingrate! I've raised you for nothing!" Mr. Yu wailed.
Yu's mother also said, "Thirty million might be difficult for you, but it shouldn't be hard for your sugar daddy to come up with, right? I heard he runs an entire large company. You're being kept by him, so what's wrong with him paying off your brother's debts?!"
"Don't tell me that we're not in a sugar daddy/sugar baby relationship. Even if we were, I would never raise this money for you."
"Don't come looking for me again. I'm severing all ties with you right here and now. Your Yu family's affairs have nothing to do with me. I'll beat you up every time I see you from now on!"
Mr. and Mrs. Yu were trembling with anger, but when they saw two imposing bodyguards standing in front of Yu Chaoxi, looking ready to attack at any moment, they were shocked.
They didn't dare to confront them directly, so they could only help their son and slink away.
Before leaving, Yu's mother turned back and threatened, "You brat, just you wait! You'll be begging us for your life!"
As they were leaving, they saw a man in a suit with an air of nobility get out of a car and hurry toward Yu Chaoxi's building.
"Mom and Dad! That person seems to be Yu Chaoxi's sugar daddy. I've seen him on a variety show!" Yu Guangyao said. "Since Yu Chaoxi is unwilling to give money, then let's just go and ask her sugar daddy for the money! I don't want to live this life of hiding anymore! I want money!"
