C103 (1/2)

As the fragrance drifted out, the other neighbors all started talking.

After Lady Xu finished cooking the last dish, she placed the dishes on the table while Xu Nana played with her cellphone. On her legs, there was still that bag. With one glance, it was obvious that she had sent it to someone else.

”Time to eat.” Xu Jia called out, but Xu Nana did not look up.

Liu Xuemei walked up to Xu Nana and said that it was time to eat. Xu Nana reluctantly got up and went to eat.

Xu Nana and Liu Xuemei were sitting on chairs. They were about to start eating when they suddenly saw no trace of Lady Xu.

”Lady Xu, where did you die?” You're not coming to eat, are you? ”Don't go out and say 'I'll let you eat leftovers' when the time comes.” Liu Xuemei glanced around but didn't see any response from Lady Xu. She then stood up and walked out.

Lady Xu was feeding her father. Tears welled up in her eyes. Perhaps it was because of her excitement, but her hands trembled from time to time. She wiped her father's tears away with a tissue, then blew in mouthfuls of cold porridge and fed it to his mouth.

When Liu Xuemei saw this scene, she silently walked away.

Seeing Liu Xuemei, Xu Nana did not stop her chopsticks. ”Mom …” Where did elder sister go? ”

”I'm feeding your dad.”

”Oh …” ”Oh.” Xu Nana answered nonchalantly. Ever since her father had suffered a stroke, he had lost his ability to move. Xu Nana would never help with taking care of him. Whenever she had something to do, she would just play with it while holding the phone.

Just as he was about to eat, he realized that his father had already started to eat before he even had time to eat.

By the time Lady Xu had finished feeding her father, Xu Nana had already finished her meal. Only her mother was still eating.

”Mom …” Lady Xu softly called him.

Liu Xuemei raised her eyebrows as if she didn't like the girl at all. She rolled her eyes and laughed lightly. Then her eyes suddenly became ferocious, ”Do you know that you have a mother like me?”

Lady Xu licked her dry lips. She felt extremely tired, thinking that escaping from the Leng Clan would be her choice. Yet, she didn't expect that it would be so hot.

The chopsticks struck her, causing her to flinch. She pinched her own palm and said, ”Mother, of course I know.”

”If you know, you'll pay.” ”If you don't pay, then get out. Our family doesn't have any extra money to support an idle person like you.”

”Mom …” Lady Xu's eyes turned red, despair could be used to describe her. ”I really don't have any money right now. Don't force me.”

”It's fine if I don't force you.”

Lady Xu's eyes lit up slightly. Her dark eyes finally lit up a little.

However, the words that followed caused her eyes to quickly darken.

Liu Xuemei said, ”Who is that rich man?”

Lady Xu looked at Liu Xuemei's eyes that she must know about, and then looked at Xu Nana's nonchalant attitude. It was only then that she realized that coming back was also the wrong decision.

She only had two choices, but none of them were the right one. Each choice pushed her into the sea of fire.

To be someone's lover, to save everyone in this family, to sacrifice oneself, in exchange for what?

Never mind …

”That rich man is Leng Lie, the CEO of the Leng Group.”

Xu Nana's hand that was raising the chopsticks froze and her eyes lit up with joy. Hearing that it was Leng Lie, she was overjoyed.

Liu Xuemei coughed, signaling Xu Nana not to be so excited.

However, Xu Nana did not want to acknowledge her mother at all. ”Mom …” Now we're rich. ”

Lady Xu, ”...”

Rich?

Hehe … Didn't they know that the Wealthy Class families were as deep as the sea? Ever since her graduation, her sister hadn't been looking for a job. She had stayed at home all day, leaving society behind. She had never known the complications outside. He felt that as long as he met or had a relationship with a rich person, he would definitely make a fortune.

He had at least studied in university, so why was his logic so stupid?
