Chapter 519 - 520: The Wicked Woman
Chu You opened his eyes, his gaze instantly settling on little Bao’er already sitting on his bed. A touch of tenderness flickered in his eyes at the sight of her small figure.
Then, the sound of quarreling reached his ears. Turning his head slightly, Chu You observed that Bao’er was oblivious to his awakening.
"Jing Ning, let me tell you, now that your grandmother has passed away, there are no elders left in the house. The property they left behind is in your dad’s name, not yours!" A middle-aged woman said this, her face twisted with malice.
"Are you suggesting that he doesn’t want to give me a single cent?" Dantai Jingning asked, her face composed but ice-cold.
"After all, he’s your father. The property has been sold; here’s thirty thousand dollars. Take it. I don’t want to ever see you around my house again. Understood?" Those menacing words were followed by a toss of a paper bag onto the bed, crammed full with thirty thousand Soft Sister Coins.
"Compared to your dad, your mom was far worse - she absconded with another man and vanished into thin air."
"Here’s why I came today: I don’t care where you go from now on, whether or not your relatives are willing to take you in. Get in touch with them yourself."
"In short, I don’t want to see you on our doorstep. Your father is mine, as is this house. It’s my home, and you are not welcome. Got it?"
"Your father couldn’t bear to say these things to you, hence why I’m doing it. This money is distributed by my decree, and you should show gratitude. But I don’t need any of your thanks, understand me?"
The middle-aged woman spoke rapidly, but her words were clear. Her tone was laced with a sense of viciousness.
"I don’t even want this money. Now, I only want to contact him. I need to ask him myself; is this his doing?" Compared to the middle-aged woman, Dantai Jingning spoke far more gently, her tone unwavering.
