Chapter 238 - 233: The Second Daughter Born Out of Favor
"Is this called spending just a little more?" Ye Hai was enraged, "If you had cared about Ye Qiu like this from the beginning, she wouldn’t disown you."
"Do I care if she recognizes me?" Zhong Meifen retorted angrily, "I always said there was something wrong with her temperament. If you hadn’t been so enamored with her title as the top scorer in the science subjects, would you have insisted on acknowledging her as your own?"
"You... you’re being completely unreasonable." Ye Hai, feeling his intentions were exposed, became angrily embarrassed and turned to leave, but then he forcefully stopped himself. Ye Qiu didn’t grow up with them and there was no affection even after acknowledging her, so it didn’t matter if she didn’t recognize them. But that didn’t mean he didn’t care about Ye Xia’s high monthly expenses; his money was meant for his son’s future.
"From now on, you are not allowed to give Ye Xia so much for living expenses. I see other kids at university only get a little more than one thousand, the most you should give her is two thousand yuan. What’s the use of buying so many clothes? Isn’t this closet full of clothes enough? If I find out you’re giving her extra money secretly, then you can forget about managing the family’s finances."
After Ye Hai finished speaking, he slammed the door and left, not caring about the frustration and anger of the mother and daughter in the room after hearing his words.
"Mom..." Ye Xia was anxious. The five thousand yuan was already not enough, what could she do with just one or two thousand?
Zhong Meifen, however, gently closed her eyes: "Xiaxia, tell Mom the truth, did you really falsely accuse Ye Qiu back then?"
"Mom, how could you also not believe in me?" Ye Xia said aggrievedly.
"I’m just asking if you did it or not?" Zhong Meifen roared sternly.
"I..." Ye Xia, who had never seen her mom like this, stammered and couldn’t get the words out, her gaze shifty, avoiding eye contact.
