"What’s wrong?" Lian Qingqing looked at Xiang Yazhi curiously. Xiang Yazhi hesitated repeatedly but still spoke, "It’s , Mom is short of money." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽 She still had some properties and businesses, but not much cash, just a few hundred thousand. Her relationship with Lian He wasn’t good. Relying on the Lian Family’s reputation, she had made quite a bit of private money leveraging the Xiang Family, but she was also extravagant in spending, secretly subsidizing Lian Qingqing every month, as well as spending on clothes and jewelry for herself, so there wasn’t much left. "How much do you need?" Lian Qingqing asked directly. "Fifty thousand," said Xiang Yazhi, stating half the amount. She didn’t dare say a hundred thousand. "Mom, why do you suddenly need so much money?" Lian Qingqing was also shocked when she heard fifty thousand, her pocket money wasn’t small, but after spending, it wasn’t much either. "This..." Xiang Yazhi felt embarrassed to speak. Lian Qingqing sighed and said, "Mom, thirty thousand. You know, I need money overseas." "Qingqing, Mom just needs to borrow it for a while. In a few days, I’ll pay you back." Xiang Yazhi said, feeling relieved internally. She didn’t want to sell those jewelry pieces; if people found out, it would be embarrassing for her. Just give her a little time, she could surely handle the business of the Xiang Family well, and by then, when she has money, giving money back to Qingqing would be the same. After Xiang Yazhi asked Lian Qingqing for money, she went to find Lian Qingyang. Lian Qingyang fell silent for a moment and asked, "Mom, why do you suddenly need so much money?" "Qingyang, it’s because..." Xiang Yazhi said somewhat embarrassedly, "your grandfather’s family is short of money, it’s all because of the divorce issues." "Qingyang, I know you have grievances towards me and aren’t close to me, but your grandparents do love you," Xiang Yazhi said softly, bringing up Father Xiang and Mrs. Xiang. Lian Qingyang didn’t like his mom, he was aware, but he did like his grandparents. "Mom, it should be you who has grievances against me." Lian Qingyang didn’t want to continue this topic, diverted the conversation, and said, "This incident, it’s also uncle who was too much. However, are grandparents doing well physically?" "Ah, lately, because of your uncle’s issue..." Xiang Yazhi was just about to complain. Lian Qingyang said, "Mom, I’ll withdraw the money and give it to you later." After Xiang Yazhi received the money, she gathered another two hundred thousand herself, making up exactly one million, and delivered it to the Xiang Family. Xiang Yazhi felt so heartbroken, if it were the past, she wouldn’t even care about this million, but now, this million... it was also patched up by her two children. "Xiang Yawen, I’m telling you, this is the only time, no next time," Xiang Yazhi gritted her teeth, "Now that the Xiang Family has lost the care of the Lian Family, you know, my days are not easy, I’m no longer the glamorous Mrs. Lian." "Brother, aren’t you still not divorced?" Xiang Yawen’s face was gaunt, completely different from before, his whole person turned gloomy having lost his lifeline. Xiang Yawen, holding the money, didn’t take Xiang Yazhi’s warning to heart. He smiled and said, "Sister, with your ability, you won’t lack money, right? Sister, my lifeline is gone, all because of you." Hearing this words, Xiang Yazhi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, her chest heaving with rage. "Brother, even if you’re angry, this is also because of you," Xiang Yawen’s gloomy gaze fixed on Xiang Yazhi, "If it weren’t for clearing obstacles for you, how would I have ended up ?" "Xiang Yawen, I understand you’re upset, but this isn’t what I wished for," Xiang Yazhi suppressed her anger for a long time before finally managing to calm down, she took a deep breath and said, "Xiang Yawen, I’ve given you the money, I’m going to see dad and mom." "This money, it’s the last time," Xiang Yazhi said, turning away and leaving. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she couldn’t resist arguing with Xiang Yawen. "Qingqing, when can you stay in China for good?" Xiang Yazhi looked at her daughter with teary eyes, asking reluctantly. "Mom, I’m studying jewelry design in Country Y, not to mention that I won this competition’s third place prize. After I graduate and return, I will definitely take our Lian family’s jewelry business to the next level," Lian Qingqing said bravely, though she was a woman, she was very ambitious. "Mom, you just take good care of your relationship with Dad at home, so I don’t have to worry about you all the time while I’m abroad," Lian Qingqing gave a few instructions then stopped. Being her biological daughter, Lian Qingqing knew exactly what kind of person Xiang Yazhi was. This incident would definitely cause a change, and as for Tang Yue, once she and Brother Zi Yue get married, Grandpa and Dad will naturally treat her differently. Xiang Yazhi tearfully watched the airplane leave. "Mom, I’m also heading back to Jing City now," Lian Qingyang grabbed his simple luggage and headed to check-in. "Okay, Qingyang, come back often when you have time," Xiang Yazhi exchanged a few simple words with Lian Qingyang before turning and leaving. Lian Qingyang watched Xiang Yazhi’s lonely figure walking away. If it wasn’t for him boarding around the same time as Lian Qingqing, would Xiang Yazhi have even come to see him off? "Call back home often." A mother wiping her tears. "As it gets colder, remember to put on more clothes, don’t tough it out alone if things get hard, and if you run out of money, remember to call us, we’ll send you money." That mother earnestly instructed, her eyes brimming with maternal love. The boy looked about the same age as Lian Qingyang. Not too close, Lian Qingyang could only watch from a distance, observing the deep affection between the mother and son, and their heavy sorrow at parting. He could not hear the mother’s gentle words clearly, but the love shown in her eyes was what Lian Qingyang longed for. From childhood, he had never seen such love for him in Xiang Yazhi’s eyes. The announcement for boarding came through the loudspeaker, Lian Qingyang gathered his thoughts, excited to return to Jing City and eat dishes made by Sister Xiao Yue. Taking advantage of the last few days of summer vacation, Tang Yue stayed in the company, returning all the meals she owed one by one. Ever since Meng Siyu was seen mopping at home by Li Wei and the others, it had quietly spread throughout the whole company and team, and even the wives in the Lian family building knew about it. Some even came specifically to ask Tang Yue how she managed it. When Tang Yue hosted guests at her house, seeing Meng Siyu wearing an apron and busying himself in the kitchen, and efficiently cleaning up the dishes after the meal, everyone finally believed it. Because of this, the wives began to raise their expectations of their own husbands. Meng Siyu, in the eyes of the wives, was a model of a loving husband. Tang Yue felt both proud and happy, but she also protected Meng Siyu’s face. The couple walked hand in hand after dinner every night, and their reputation for marital harmony spread throughout the entire team. "Darling, I’m sorry."
