Chapter 28 - Evil stepmother knocks on the door

Gu Lin sized her up before saying indifferently, "It's very simple. You'll definitely be able to do it."

Ying Yue seemed to understand something from his cold little eyes. She was sure that she wasn't overthinking it. It can't be. Taking this opportunity to seize a young lady from a good family would ruin her innocence.

"You … You want to be a hooligan? " After Ying Yue said this, she spat again. What am I saying? Who would ask such a thing? Isn't it obvious that they want others to play a hooligan with me?

"No …" "No, I mean. Ying Yue randomly found an excuse, and the more she described it, the darker it got.

The corners of Gu Lin's mouth finally opened into a smile when he heard what she'd said earlier about playing hooligan.

"Don't think too much about it." Gu Lin was a modest gentleman.

"Don't think too much about it." Ying Yue quickly countered and then muttered, "I really thought about it too much. Seriously, I lost face in Spain."

Just as Ying Yue was lost in her own thoughts, Gu Lin finally spoke of his condition.

"I'd like to meet your parents."

Ying Yue was stunned when she heard this. Parents? What parents? Did she still have parents?

"My mother has passed away. As for my father …" As Ying Yue spoke to here, her previous mischievousness and shyness disappeared, and her previous indifference and disappointment returned to their original places. Her emotions changed too quickly, to the point where she felt as if she had become a different person.

"I don't have a good relationship with my dad, and I don't usually walk around much either. Moreover, he has rebuilt his family, so I should be considered an outsider to him. Therefore, there's no need to meet him at all."

"However, we are now married. As a courtesy, I must personally go see the people from your parents' side. Ying Yue, this is my only condition."

"I don't agree." Ying Yue felt a chill when she thought of her stepmother's face, so her attitude became even colder. "There's nothing to discuss about this matter. I still have matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave first."

"Ying Yue." Gu Lin called out to her. "When you've made up your mind, call me."

Ying Yue gripped the bag in her hands tightly and left without another word.

This time, it was not pleasant.

When Ying Yue drove back to her apartment, she didn't expect that the person she didn't want to see the most would actually come knocking on her door.

There was only one word for coming to find her, money.

"Ying Yue, you're finally back." "We agreed that each month's living expenses should be delivered home before the 15th. So what if it's a month, two days have already passed, I've called you more than once already, and you've repeatedly refused. If I don't come to you today, you're planning to drag it on like this."

Ying Yue, you better understand, after I married your father, what did I get, what did I enjoy? Serving him every day with food and medicine, living frugally every month, living a life almost like begging for food. What do you think your money will do?

Gu Lin had just mentioned meeting with his father, and his stepmother had come looking for him to ask for money. Ying Yue was even more determined now that she had made that decision. She absolutely could not meet face to face.

"Please pay attention to the way you speak." Ying Yue started to light up, "My dad spends money on medicine and injections every month, and I call the hospital every month. You don't need to spend even a single cent, and don't talk about saving money for my dad. Think about those kids of yours who don't have the ability to do nothing all day, if it weren't for me paying for them, they would have already starved to death."

"Ying Yue, can you do it?" His stepmother was also infuriated. "To think that you're even a reporter. Do you even have a conscience or education? How dare you talk to your little brother and sister in such a manner?"

"Younger brother and sister?" Ying Yue sneered, "Got it, I don't have any blood relationship with these two milkworms. Also, with my upbringing, my conscience will not be placed on people like you, don't forget, you are now my father's wife and my father is sick. You have an obligation to take care of him, even if I don't pay for it, it's still your duty."

"What a sharp tongue." Her stepmother took off her shoulder bag and was about to hit her, but she was stopped by Ying Yue.

"I'll divorce your father tomorrow, and then I won't have any obligations at all. Ying Yue, aren't you capable? Then let's spend the rest of your life watching that sick Yangzi's dad."

Over these years, she had had enough. If it wasn't for her father being taken care of, if it wasn't for her father being so naïve in wanting to stay with this vicious stepmother, she definitely wouldn't have had anything to do with them.

Furthermore, Ying Yue was very clear that every single time, her stepmother would say that she was going to divorce her father. However, every single time, she would use that as an excuse to threaten herself. Relying on her two good-for-nothing children? How could that be possible?

"Ying Yue." "No matter what you say, you have to take out this money today, or else, I will go home and push your father out. If you don't take the money, then we will stand in front of the gate for a whole day and never leave, I want to let everyone know, the great journalist Ying Yue is not a good person, you dare to abandon your own father, when the time comes, I want to see who will lose face."

Feeling unsatisfied, Zhang Xuan added.

"I'm telling you, Ying Yue, if you anger me, I'll do anything. I'm not afraid of people wearing shoes, and we've fought for so many years. You should know who I am."

Ying Yue's expression was terrible. She knew very well, but she was really tired.

"Isn't it just money? I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you. " Ying Yue took out her purse from her pocket and took out all of the cash in it. She threw it on the ground in disappointment and anger, "The money is on the floor, you want to pick it up yourself."

Her stepmother's eyes were filled with money now. She no longer had the arrogance and backbone from before. She picked up all the cash from the ground in an unrelenting manner and counted it again while muttering to herself, "Why is it so little?"

"Bring it here." His stepmother reacted quickly. Just as Ying Yue was about to open the door, she snatched her bag and poured out everything inside out.

He not only took the last few coins, but also helped her biological daughter take a lipstick as well. Finally, he gave up. He took a few steps with his bag, then turned around and spared a few words.

"Ying Yue, you better send the living expenses over to me on time next month. This time, let's forget about it. If you drag things out again next time, I will really push your father over. I will make you lose all face."

"F * ck off." Ying Yue squeezed out a word from between her teeth. Her stepmother spoke a few more dirty words before finally leaving.

All of this was clearly seen by Gu Lin, who was hiding in the shadows. Ying Yue's trembling shoulders and painful back made Gu Lin's heart tighten slightly.

He was once again moved by this woman.
