Chapter 24
After Ning Sheng got off work, she went to wait for the bus alone.
Lu Chu Yao had already packed everything and was preparing to go on a business trip. She would be alone in her room when she returned today. Fortunately, she had brought a few foreign books with her so she could go back and translate them. She had nothing to do anyway.
Ring Ring Ring-
She took out her phone and saw that it was her mother, whom she had not contacted for a long time.
Just a while back, they took the 20 thousand dollars and kicked her out. There was no reason for her to be calling Ning Sheng after what they did to her.
“h.e.l.lo?”
On the other end of the phone, Ning Sheng’s mother cursed at the top of her lungs, “Hurry up and come back. Did you forget about your family after you got married? Did you really think your marriage is considered a good one? You don’t want your family already? Ning Sheng you ungrateful wretch!”
Ha. What a joke.
“You said 20 thousand dollars and that I would have nothing to do with the Ning family anymore!”
Ning Sheng even wondered if she was actually their daughter. Why would they care only for her younger brother and sister? Why did they treat her as if she was a stray dog on the side of the road that they had picked up?
Why are they acting like that despite chasing her away? They probably needed money again.
“20 thousand? Do you think after raising you for this long, 20 thousand is enough? Come back immediately, or I’ll go to your workplace and make a scene. I’ll tell them how cold-hearted you are, that you don’t care about the life and death of your parents, siblings!” The voice on the other end was full of energy.
Ning Sheng had finally seen how shameless and greedy her parents could be. She hung up the phone and decided to go back to see what exactly was going on this time.
As soon as she got home, she heard the sound of cursing.
“How dare you not come back after you’re married? Where the h.e.l.l did you go? Do you know that your sister needs living expenses this month? Also, your little brother needs new clothes!” Mother Ning, w.a.n.g Gui Lan, scolded Ning Sheng as soon as she saw her.
Her father, Ning Yao Wu, helped her mother out, “Ning Sheng, do you really not care about your family anymore? Your younger brother and sister are still in high school and they need your help. How can you not care about them?”
“I remember that mom kicked me out after getting 20 thousand dollars. Furthermore, I am just an intern, I am not getting much money.” Ning Sheng’s tone was calm. She didn’t have any attachment to this family and did not want anything to do with them too.
Her heart had given up on them from all the disappointment she had felt.
“Look! This is the good daughter we raised. She doesn’t care about her family after she got married,” w.a.n.g Gui Lan scoffed coldly and continued, “She married a poor pretty boy. I don’t know how she was tricked and sold herself away. It is really embarra.s.sing.”
“Yes, I am an embarra.s.sment to you! I did not marry that dead old man. I did not let you have a house. I did not get Ning Mu property for him to marry a wife. However, I don’t intend to give you any more money. 20 thousand is enough.”
Ning Sheng’s expression was calm, and she was no longer as hysterical as before.
“You!” Ning Yao Wu looked like he was about to hit her. He was furious to see his eldest daughter acting this way. This was not the daughter he had raised. She had always been obedient and yet they could not control her anymore.
