Wu Lan’s expression stiffened, and she looked at Li Mengyao with pleading eyes.
However, Li Mengyao acted as if she hadn’t seen them.
“Mengyao… your mother knows she was wrong…” Li Zengguo said urgently from the side.
“Speak, what exactly do you want!” Li Mengyao’s voice was icy.
“Mengyao, didn’t your mother just say it? Look, you’ve moved into a large villa! Such a big villa, and you’ve hired maids… no, you’ve hired an auntie to come over. Your mother and I aren’t educated and can’t help you much. But we’re skilled at laundry and cooking. Why don’t you dismiss the two aunties? Your mother and I can move in, and we can look after you then, can’t we?” Upon hearing this, Li Zengguo tried the emotional appeal again.
“Yes, yes, Mengyao, your father is right! Look, those two aunties are outsiders, how can they be as close as blood relatives! We’ll definitely take good care of you, won’t we?” Wu Lan quickly nodded.
However, hearing the elderly couple’s proposition, Li Mengyao chuckled and said.
“Dad, Mom. If you come help us with the children, how about we give you some money to buy a car for picking up and dropping off the children?”
The elderly couple seemed not to notice the mockery in Li Mengyao’s words. Wu Lan was immediately overjoyed.
“That would be best! Your father worked his whole life and was always looked down upon! If you casually buy him a car for transport, he can hold his head high when he goes home!”
On the other side.
Ye Yun smiled and asked.
“Oh, then what kind of car is this casually bought car?”
“Good son-in-law, we’re all family, any car will do. However, he’s your father-in-law, so a car that’s too bad would be embarrassing for you, wouldn’t it?” Wu Lan said to Ye Yun with a shameless grin.
“Heh, hehe.” Li Mengyao sneered, “Mom, you’re really thick-skinned!”
“You… what do you mean by that?” Wu Lan didn’t react for a moment.
“Hmph! What do I mean? Haven’t I made myself clear enough? Mom! When you took five million from Ye Yun’s card, I already said that I had repaid your kindness in raising me, and you tacitly agreed at the time!”
“But don’t worry, I’m not that heartless. I will cover your and Dad’s living expenses for retirement, and I’ll give you three thousand yuan a month for daily expenses. That’s it. Don’t have any other ideas, otherwise, you won’t get a cent from me anymore!”
Li Mengyao’s voice remained icy, her tone filled with resolve.
“You! You! You heartless wretch, how can you say such things!” Wu Lan pointed at Li Mengyao, trembling with anger.
Three thousand yuan?
If it were in the past, if Ye Yun and Li Mengyao gave her three thousand yuan a month, Wu Lan would have been ecstatic.
Now?
The money she had previously scammed from Ye Yun was five million.
How could a paltry three thousand yuan catch her eye anymore?
Let alone three thousand, even thirty thousand wasn’t her goal!
Human desires are never satisfied, and Wu Lan was such a person.
“How can you speak to your mother like that? We toiled and moiled, and finally raised you three siblings. Oh, now that you’re successful, you’re turning your back on us? Is this how a daughter should behave?” Seeing Li Mengyao’s firm stance, Li Zengguo reprimanded.
“Dad, do you have the right to say that? I’m just using the attitude you’ve always used against me against you. What, you can’t stand it? Now, please leave. If you don’t leave, I’ll call the police!” Li Mengyao’s tone became even colder.
“I don’t want to live anymore! I don’t want to live anymore! Call the police, go ahead and call! Oh heaven, why is my life so bitter! The daughter I painstakingly raised is an ungrateful wretch! Let the police decide, is there such a daughter in this world!” Wu Lan immediately sat on the ground and started throwing a tantrum.
“Li Mengyao, I’m telling you today! This villa, your father and I will move in whether we want to or not! Also, give us a hundred thousand yuan a month for pocket money! Otherwise, either you kill us, or we won’t leave even if we’re beaten to death!”
Wu Lan had completely dropped all pretense.
She knew that the surrounding area of Ying Tian Fu was full of wealthy people.
Ye Yun certainly didn’t want to make a scene.
Otherwise, why would Ye Yun have called her “Mom” at the entrance of the community earlier?
In the end, it was all about face.
As long as she made a big fuss, she wasn’t afraid that Li Mengyao and Ye Yun wouldn’t comply?
Could it be that Li Mengyao would actually call the police to arrest her?
A joke!
Family shame should not be aired outside!
“Mom, are you planning to act shamelessly? Do you think it will work now?” Li Mengyao’s voice grew colder.
“You’ll see if it works or not! You want to call the police, don’t you? Go ahead, I’d like to see what the police can do to me! I’m not giving you a chance. If you want to sever ties completely, that’s fine too. Give me one hundred million yuan, and I promise I’ll never appear before you again!” Wu Lan also became stubborn, refusing to get up from the ground.
Ye Yun and Li Mengyao’s attitude made it clear they wouldn’t agree to her demands.
This enraged her, and being greedy for money, she immediately named an exorbitant price.
“Hmph, one hundred million? No!” Li Mengyao burst into laughter out of anger.
One hundred million?
Did her mother not know how much one hundred million yuan was?
As it should be, after so many years.
Didn’t she know what kind of person her mother was?
It was very common for her to say such things.
“This is you forcing me!” Wu Lan was enraged and stormed out of the house, standing in the yard and shouting at the entire neighborhood.
“Help! Murder! My daughter and son-in-law refuse to support me and want to kill me!”
“Is there any law in Jinling? Daughters are supposed to support their parents in old age, but now my daughter is an ungrateful wretch!”
“Li Mengyao, you are my daughter! I fed you, clothed you, and sent you to school, and now you treat me like an enemy!”
A series of shouts echoed throughout the entire Ying Tian Fu community.
Li Mengyao followed closely, biting her lip, tears finally uncontrollable, streaming down her cheeks.
“Give it, it’s only one hundred million.” Ye Yun patted Li Mengyao’s shoulder and pulled her into his arms.
In his heart, let alone one hundred million, even ten or one hundred billion was not worth his wife and daughter.
When facing his mother-in-law, even if he had countless dissatisfactions.
Ye Yun also knew that such matters should be handled by Li Mengyao.
All he could do was support her.
Frankly speaking, if one hundred million yuan could free Li Mengyao from her mother-in-law’s torment, Ye Yun would feel the money was well spent.
“No, we can’t give this money! No one knows her better than I do. My mother is insatiably greedy. Even if we give her one hundred million yuan, and even if this money is enough for her to live a life of comfort, she will come back to ask for more after a while! She cares too much about her reputation and loves to show off. If you give her one hundred million today, she’ll buy luxury cars and houses tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow she’ll start businesses and throw money around. No matter what, she’ll never be satisfied!”
“But this pains me so much.” Ye Yun tightened his embrace on Li Mengyao and sighed, then asked.
“Then how do you think we should handle this matter?”
