Hearing this, my heart felt like it was being sliced by a blunt knife one by one. “Sorry, Thanh Thanh, I'm going to the bathroom.” I covered my mouth and staggered to the bathroom. Washing my face over and over again, crying until my eyes turned red over and over again. 10. That afternoon two years ago, the sun was so hot and blinding, the boy received the breakup text, his eyes were red, and he frantically came to me like a child who made a mistake. But, the one who was wrong from beginning to end was never you. At that time, he was on duty at the hospital, his eyes were full of blood because he had been awake for many days. His sister is sick and needs a large sum of money for surgery. His voice trembled: "Duong Duong, my father left me a family hot pot recipe. I'm waiting for you, waiting for you to graduate, I will definitely open many, many chain stores, make a lot of money. If it really... doesn't work, there is a company that wants to buy that recipe from me, the price they pay is very high..." Hearing the words "recipe", my heart unconsciously trembled, but quickly calmed down. No, I have to make him completely desperate, otherwise I don't know what foolish thing a crazy demon like Giang Do will do. Knowing my mother well, I know she is very capable of using this to threaten him. "Enough! Giang Do!" I pushed his hand away when he tried to touch me. "My mother is now remarried to a rich person. I consider myself a rich child. I'm not stupid enough to waste my youth waiting for you to draw some cakes. Why don't I quickly go find a rich young master? "Don't waste your effort anymore, selling a recipe isn't worth much, it might not even be worth a person's meal!" After I cruelly said goodbye to Giang Do, my mother rushed over when she heard the news. This is the first time she has come to see me since she captured the tycoon. “Damn you, are you deaf? I told you to go get its recipe, what are you doing?” “I didn't do it! Don't you dare!” My mother laughed disdainfully. “Okay, be good for the rest of your life! From now on, don't contact me anymore, no matter how rich I am, it has nothing to do with you! 11. Suddenly remembering something, I clenched my fists, gritted my teeth and opened my mouth. “Wait, lend me five hundred thousand, I will definitely pay it back. Otherwise... you wouldn't want me to come to your villa every day to cause trouble, so that the big ladies would look down on you and laugh in your face, would you?" My mother's face suddenly became fierce: "Tham Van Duong, why did I raise an ungrateful and unfaithful thing like you?" Actually, I only need three hundred thousand, because my sister Giang Do needs exactly that much for the surgery. But understand that there is no one like a mother like her daughter, from childhood to adulthood, every time she gives money, it is cut off. She threw a bank card right in my face. “Only three hundred, no more. There's no need for you to pay, it's like money to sever the relationship between mother and child." I bent down to pick up the card. In fact, this amount of money is not even equal to the expensive shoes she is wearing. In the restroom, it took me a long time to adjust my emotions. When he left, Do Thanh fell asleep on the sofa. I gently covered her with the blanket, bowed my head and quietly looked at her sleeping face. It turned out that she was the younger sister that Giang Do needed money for surgery in the past. It's great that she is safe and healthy now. 12. That day, as soon as I returned from the center, my mother stopped me downstairs in the building. The scene before me is exactly the same as the year before In the past, I disobeyed her to break up with Giang Do and was questioned by her. “Stop acting so noble, are you going to show that face to anyone?” Even though she wears luxurious high-end clothes, she cannot hide her rude and sour nature. She laughed coldly: "Tham Van Duong, how many years do you think you learned to dance, how much money did I spend on you, for what reason? Isn't it so that you grow up beautiful and valuable, so that I can sell it at a higher price? "I didn't expect that I would be lucky and find a rich man myself. I told you two years ago, please cleverly win Giang Do's favor and find that formula. As long as you have it, your Uncle Ly will make sure you are happy for the rest of your life, becoming a rich lady. "What about you? Damn you, you ran away and broke up with that guy, do you know you almost made it impossible for me to marry into a rich family!" I laughed coldly: "Rich lady? Will she be like you, marry an old man and then be obsequious and flattered?" She slapped me so hard, I could have dodged it, but I didn't dodge it. This will be the last time. "Furthermore, I later learned that the three hundred thousand money you insisted on to sever the relationship was to go to surgery for Giang Do's sister, right? Huh, they're rich now, why don't they come back and repay you?" Mrs. Ly, with a superior look, snorted coldly and then turned around and got into the luxury car. Tears falling down my face were incredibly painful, I reached out to touch them. Oh, it turns out her long, shiny nails scratched my face. I laughed lightly, probably laughing at myself. No wonder, no wonder why that year she suddenly agreed to let me learn to dance... When I was little, every time after school, before my mother was late to pick me up, I would eagerly press my face against the glass window and watch the little girls in the dance center dancing around. Even when I got home after finishing my homework, I still remembered the moves and taught myself how to dance. When she saw me like that, she cursed: "What are you looking at? This family doesn't have money for you to learn those useless things!" Until one time, the center staff saw me, smiled and said: "She looks exactly like her, and is so beautiful. Let's learn to dance a little more. When she grows up, there will be a bunch of men chasing after her!" After that, as if she had become a different person, she began to spend money heavily on me to learn to dance, for the first time in her life she was willing to spend money without blinking an eye. Normally, when asked for money to buy books, she would have to be scolded.
