Chapter 11 : Money is All That Matters

• I took the check and tore it up in front of Yang Xue.
• Seeing this, Yang Xue looked at me helplessly.
• "Yang Xue, one billion yuan doesn't belong to me. From the beginning, our relationship was based on mutual affection, without any regrets or complaints."
• "Why are you so stubborn?"
• Yang Xue poked my forehead and stared at me with an iron-willed expression.
• I smiled faintly, "I'm not stubborn, I just... don't want something that doesn't belong to me."
• "Mu Nanyi, forget about Huo Chengjin and start over."
• Yang Xue grabbed my shoulder and said earnestly.
• "Alright..."
• "Mu Nanyi, you stubborn girl! Why didn't you answer my calls? Do you know how long I've been looking for you? How could you treat your own mother like this? You're simply heartless."
• I was about to nod when the door was kicked open. My mother held a pole and cursed at me while swinging it towards me.
• "Auntie, what are you trying to do?"
• I looked at the pole in my mother's hand and instinctively dodged, not letting her hit me.
• Yang Xue stood in front of me, grabbing my mother's hand with the pole, and warned her sternly.
• "Get out of here. This is none of your business. This is our family matter."
• "This is a hospital. If you cause trouble, I'll call the police."
• "Call the police? Fine, go ahead and call them. I'll ask the police if I should arrest my own daughter, who gave birth to such an ungrateful child."
• "What do you mean by ungrateful? Has she given you less money in these years? You already favor boys over girls, and now you treat your daughter as if she's not even human. You're a group of heartless demons."
• "I'm her mother. I gave birth to her. Isn't it her duty to support me with money? Our family is so poor, we have no money to use. She deceived us, saying she didn't take a penny from Huo Chengjin after divorcing him, secretly hiding the money and planning to use it without telling us. And you even harmed your older brother? You instigated your older brother to ask the Huo family for money, but let your older brother take the blame. You're simply inhuman."
• "Why is my life so miserable? I gave birth to such an ungrateful white-eyed wolf. If anything happens to your older brother, I won't live anymore."
• My mother pointed at my nose and cursed at me before sitting on the floor, pounding her chest and stamping her feet.
• I looked at my mother's appearance, feeling a coldness in my heart.
• Apart from money, they couldn't see anything else.
• "It's your older brother's own fault for being foolish and causing trouble at the Huo family's doorstep. Don't blame everything on me. I've said it before, I didn't take a penny from Huo Chengjin. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
• I was just too tired and didn't want to argue with my mother anymore.
• Seeing my exhausted look, Yang Xue frowned and approached me, grabbing my mother's arm, trying to drive her away. But she wouldn't leave, holding onto my hand and crying, "Nanyi, my mom said the wrong things just now, her tone was harsh. You can't ignore your older brother."
• I looked at her, thinking about how she always squeezed me for the sake of her two sons, and felt some resentment in my heart.
• I shook off her hand, with a cold face, I said, "I can't and I shouldn't take care of it. He's already breaking the law by causing trouble at someone else's company. I have no power or authority, how can I possibly handle it?"
• "Your older brother is doing it for you. How can you be so heartless?"
• For me?
• He's doing it for the money, trying to use public opinion to extort money.
• My family is like a group of vampires, always finding ways to suck blood from me.
• "I've said it, I can't handle it, and besides, I have no relationship with Huo Chengjin at all."
• I calmed myself down, turned my back to my mother, and said with a cold face.
• "If you don't save your older brother, I'll just smash my head here and die."
• "Mu Nanyi, I want to see if you're really that heartless, even to the point of your mother's life."
• Seeing my firm attitude, my mother let out a mournful roar, then got up from the ground and really started banging her head against the wall.
• My heart tightened, filled with sadness.
• For this useless son, she really didn't care about her own life.
• I clenched my fist, my eyes turning red, and shouted, "Enough! I will... go beg Huo Chengjin."
• I couldn't bear to watch my mother die in front of me.
• Even though she favored boys over girls, even though she treated her daughter as a tool for making money, I couldn't bear to watch her die in front of me.
• "Nanyi."
• Yang Xue didn't advise me to help my older brother. I grabbed her arm and asked with a faint smile, "Yang Xue, can I watch my own mother die in front of me?"
• Yang Xue fell silent, while my mother rushed over, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Nanyi, you must save your older brother, you must."
• Looking at my mother's appearance, my nose felt sour. I suppressed my sadness and said with a stern face, "I don't know if it will work, but I will try."
• "It will definitely work. You were once married to him, he will definitely spare your older brother for your sake. If it really doesn't work, you can sleep with him."
• "Auntie, you're really chilling."
• My mother's words made me tremble all over, while Yang Xue pointed at my mother's nose, roared, and then drove her out.
• After driving my mother away, Yang Xue couldn't contain her anger and said, "What kind of people are you? You're really sick."
• "Let it go, I'm used to it. For my mother and them, their two sons are their lives. I, as their daughter, am just a stepping stone for them."
• "I think you shouldn't bother with Mu Qiang anymore. Let him die in prison. This kind of person deserves to die. Even being alive is a waste of air and food."
• "After all... he's my own flesh and blood."
