Chapter 160: Leave Him
The point is finally here, Lin Yuqing thought, and then nodded. "Thank you, Madam Xiao, for your love. This is what I should do."
"Should?" Madam Xiao raised her eyebrows, and then said: "If people know their responsibilities, know what they should do and what they shouldn't do, then maybe everything will go smoothly and their lives will be harmonious and happy. Unfortunately..." After saying that, she shook her head and then held her hand.
"Yuqing, I like you very much. If Xiao Yang didn't have an engagement and you two were in love, then I would accept it. But Xiao Yang and Lin'er's engagement was made when they were young. It's a family affair that has been passed down for generations, and it also involves Xiao Yang's grandfather and his family. So, the reason I called you here today is because I hope you can think it through."
Hearing this, Lin Yuqing raised her head and asked coldly, "Mrs. Xiao, do you want me to leave Mingyang?"
Madam Xiao sighed. "My son has been cold and aloof since he was young. No one can get close to him. As a mother, I don't know what kind of girl he would like. I'm glad to finally see someone who can change him. But this marriage is an engagement between two families, not just a simple marriage. If you really love him, you should think about him."
"Then what do you think I should do, Madam Xiao?"
"Auntie knows it's unfair to say these things to you, but I have no choice but to do this." As she spoke, Mrs. Xiao winked at the servant behind her. The servant immediately understood and handed her an envelope.
Lin Yuqing looked at the envelope and felt a chill in her heart.
Sure enough, Madam Xiao stuffed the envelope into her hand.
"Here's a check for five million. If you're willing to leave Ming Yang, then this check is yours. Auntie can also guarantee that you and your two children will have a worry-free life in the future. Houses along the coastal highway are worth tens of millions. You can pick any one you like. Auntie will give it to you..."
"Mrs. Xiao!"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted coldly by Lin Yuqing.
Mrs. Xiao looked at the girl in front of her who interrupted her in a daze. She was ethereal and beautiful. It was undeniable that she was really beautiful, but that didn't mean she would accept her.
Lin Yuqing pulled her hand back, raised the envelope in her hand, and asked with a sneer: "Mrs. Xiao treats her son's feelings as a transaction? A transaction that can be exchanged for money?"
Madam Xiao pursed her lips, the smile on her face disappeared, and she also stared at her coldly.
"I don't know if Madam Xiao really loves her son. If she does, why would she use money to determine his feelings? He and I truly love each other. If you really treat him as your son, you shouldn't use money to bribe me."
Madam Xiao withdrew her hands, crossed them across her chest, and snorted coldly, "To be able to become my son's sweetheart and to have come this far, I believe it is not simple. Tell me, five million is not enough, how much do you want before you are willing to leave my son?"
Hearing this, Lin Yuqing narrowed her eyes. Why? Why didn't she understand what she was saying? What she wanted was not money at all, but a hard-earned relationship, someone who truly loved her and loved him.
Thinking of this, she sneered, "Mrs. Xiao, do you really think that I will leave if you give me money? Well, I'll just say a price. As long as you can afford it, I'll leave. How about it?"
Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly, "Tell me, how much you want, I will give it to you, as long as you leave my son." This woman finally revealed her true colors.
"Two hundred million." She said without blushing or panting.
Mrs. Xiao was so shocked that she couldn't sit still. "What did you say?"
"Why?" Now it was Lin Yuqing's turn to snort coldly: "Mrs. Xiao can't come up with it, right? Don't you love your son very much? Don't you want me to leave him? Then give me 200 million and I will leave him, how about it?"
"You!" Madam Xiao's face turned pale and blue: "You are obviously asking for too much, you..."
"So what if I ask for a high price? In Madam Xiao's eyes, I'm just a profit-driven woman who approaches your son for money, fame, and status, right? If that's the case, why should you care how much I ask?"
Madam Xiao was speechless for a while after hearing her words. After a while, she was so angry that she trembled a little. She bit her lip and said, "I'm warning you, I'm giving you these five million as a compliment. You'd better not be ungrateful and ask for trouble. Otherwise, it will be too late to suffer when you don't get the money."
Hearing this, Lin Yuqing stood up quickly, picked up the cake she had bought, and smiled softly: "Since Madam Xiao can't come up with the money, don't even think about asking me to leave Mingyang. I love him, I will love him all my life. As long as he still loves me for one day, I will never leave him for a day. If Madam Xiao really wants us to separate, then go and persuade your son first."
After she finished speaking, she pursed her lips and continued, "Thank you, Madam Xiao, for your hospitality today. The jasmine tea is delicious, but I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying these words, Lin Yuqing nodded and bowed to her, then turned and left without waiting for her to speak again.
However, Lin Yuqing did not expect that the person she saw after turning around would be Xiao Mingyang. He was standing not far in front, watching everything coldly, and their conversation just now had indeed fallen into his ears.
He was staring at her with a probing look in his eyes. Lin Yuqing moved her lips, wanting to say something but unable to.
Mrs. Xiao also obviously saw Xiao Mingyang, narrowed her eyes, and an idea flashed through her mind.
The next second, she was gasping for air with anger. The maid came forward to support her and screamed, "Madam, Madam, how are you?"
Madam Xiao was panting and holding her hand: "I can't breathe, help me go... back, I..."
"lady!!"
"Master! Madam has fainted!!"
After hearing this, Xiao Mingyang came back to his senses and ran over in a hurry. When he passed Lin Yuqing, he accidentally bumped into her hard. Lin Yuqing was knocked away and fell to the side uncontrollably. The cake she bought in her hand fell to the ground with a plop and was rotten.
Lin Yuqing sat on the ground blankly looking at the rotten cake, feeling the pain from the scrapes on her palms. Xiao Mingyang only had his back facing her. He picked up Mrs. Xiao and asked the servant to call an ambulance, but he never looked at her again.
For a long time, until there was no sound in front of her, Lin Yuqing was still sitting on the ground in a daze. The man in a suit who brought her in came forward and said softly, "Miss Lin, they have all left. Do you need me to take you away?"
