Yu Shuang said dismissively:
"This money is what I worked hard to earn, and I can spend it however I want. Child, you need to get used to it; your selfless mother is gone forever. From now on, you'll have to walk your own path."
Yang Xiaoyue was completely bewildered.
I'm still psychologically unbalanced and unable to accept reality.
"Mom, you've gone too far! Are you even my real mother?!"
This is so unfair! Waaaaah…
Yu Shuang stood up calmly, and the other person reflexively took two steps back.
The beating I received last night really left a deep impression on me.
I immediately regretted it; I had gotten too emotional just now. I hope Mom doesn't go crazy again...
"I'm in a good mood this time, so I'll let it slide this time. But if you yell at your mom and behave badly again next time, don't blame her for disciplining you."
Yang Xiaoyue forced herself to swallow all her resentment.
This caused her face to become distorted.
Yu Shuang removed the face mask from her face and walked to the bathroom on her own.
"I'm too lazy to cook lunch, so I'm planning to go out for a big meal. I'll be leaving in ten minutes, or I won't wait for you."
Yang Xiaoyue almost popped her eyes out.
Did she hear that right?
Want to go out for a fancy meal?
My mom, who's used to being frugal, would never spend money to eat out.
She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with her domineering mother.
Most likely, they'll just grab a cheap little restaurant for a meal.
After all, eating out is a feast for Mom.
Oh no...
She only had ten minutes, and she even took up the toilet herself!
Isn't this asking the impossible?
Fortunately, her mother came out quickly, and Yang Xiaoyue tidied herself up at a record-breaking speed.
She had no doubt that her selfish mother wouldn't wait for her when the time came.
Just as she was rushing to get everything done, with only the makeup step remaining,
"Mom, just give me ten more minutes, I just need to put on my makeup!"
The clock in Yu Shuang's hand began its countdown, reminding her that there were ten seconds left.
When the time was up, she turned and left without any hesitation.
Helpless, Yang Xiaoyue could only hurry along with her bare face and disheveled hair.
She thought she would just grab a bite somewhere not far from home.
To my surprise, my mom looked disgusted and said she didn't like it, so she hailed a taxi and went directly to the nearby shopping district.
Yang Xiaoyue suddenly realized that the last time she took a taxi with her mother was several years ago…
My thrifty mother has never been willing to spend this money.
Ha...it's because it's her dowry money that's being spent, so she doesn't feel bad about it, right?
Suddenly I felt a void in my heart.
Is the mother who devoted half her life to her really gone forever?
Before long, Yang Xiaoyue looked at the slightly upscale restaurant in front of her and began to have second thoughts.
She really felt bad about spending the money.
In addition, she was wearing no makeup and dressed very plainly, making her feel somewhat ashamed.
"Mom, this place is too expensive, let's go to another one?"
Yu Shuang ignored her and went inside on her own.
The staff there were very professional; they didn't judge people by their appearance and provided excellent service.
Yu Shuang generously ordered a whole bunch of things.
Yang Xiaoyue, standing to the side, was dumbfounded and felt a pang of heartache.
In her subconscious, these flowers were all part of her dowry...
I couldn't help but want to stop them, but I was deterred by the strange looks from the waiter next to me.
And then my mom said two words with a look of disgust:
"Shameful."
She was immediately filled with shame and wished she could disappear into the ground.
God have mercy, it was always her mother who embarrassed her in the past.
How come it's reversed now?
It's true what they say, fortunes really do change.
After the waiter left with the menu, Yang Xiaoyue finally found a chance to mutter a complaint:
"Mom, how can you be so extravagant and wasteful?!"
Yu Shuang ate the complimentary pre-meal snacks without paying any attention.
"I've never eaten anything this good before. I suddenly want to eat it. What's wrong? This is my money. You better behave yourself and don't embarrass your mother."
Yang Xiaoyue choked for a moment.
That was her dowry money!!
You think she's shameful?
I suddenly really want my old mom, who was unreliable but thrifty, to come back!
If she behaves better and makes her mother less angry, will her mother stop going crazy? Will she bring back the mother who used to do everything for her?
"What are you standing there for? Pick up some food..."
Yu Shuang didn't indulge her and started eating on her own.
Yang Xiaoyue realized that a large dish had already been served on the table.
After a night of mental exhaustion, I slept until noon, and was already starving.
Now that things have come to this, we absolutely cannot waste any food; let's eat and drink our fill first.
However, there are certain rules to follow when eating in such a restaurant.
She was afraid that people around her would look at her strangely and look down on the poor people at her table.
Her unreliable mother suddenly said:
"Don't you think too highly of yourself? Do you think you're some big star, some queen or princess? That everyone has to pay attention to you and find fault with you?"
Yang Xiaoyue: ! ! ?
Was Mom's statement too hurtful?
But upon closer reflection, it does seem to make some sense.
Yeah, who does she think she is?
But all her experiences during this period gave her a misconception.
I always feel like something unexpected is going to happen every now and then, embarrassing her and hurting her self-esteem...
It seems that ever since she entered the prestigious academy, there have always been troublemakers trying to harm her…
Then her unreliable mother continued:
Just because the people at your school lack manners doesn't mean people everywhere lack manners. Keep your petty, despicable thoughts to yourself. People didn't want to pay attention to you in the first place, but because you have something to hide and are timid, it's hard for them not to laugh at you.
