When she heard this, Ye Lis expression turned ugly. Xue Xi could sense this and was a little confused. Perhaps it was because she was too indifferent to relationships that she felt that the old ladys request was rather baffling.

Xue Sheng also frowned. Mom, were already separated.

Old Lady Xue said, Arent you still my son despite how were separated? Dont you still have to be filial to me after were separated? Youre the boss of the company and the elder brother. Since the second childs family is already in so much trouble, cant you help? Your money cant be spent on the second son, so are you just going to leave it for those two outsiders in the future?

Xue Sheng said solemnly, They are my wife and daughter, not outsiders.

Old Lady Xue said nonchalantly, Uh-huh, sure

Shut up. The old patriarch cut her off. Xue Gui has already said that even if he had to beg, he would never ask for money from him!

Xue Gui was extremely thick-skinned and cried, Werent I drunk then? Big Brother, dont take it to heart. Big Brother, I was wrong. Im not a businessman and we shouldnt be separated! We cant be separated, can we?

Hearing this, Old Master Xue felt embarrassed for Xue Gui.

He shouted, Alright, stop crying here! With me and my wife around, you wont starve!

After saying this, Old Master Xue walked toward the dining room.

The rest followed behind him, interrupting the conversation.

Xue Xi then followed Ye Li into the living room. After greeting the others, they sat down beside Xue Sheng.

Liu Yiqiu looked at Ye Li and then at Xue Sheng. All of a sudden, she said, They are all members of the Xue family. Xixis shoes cost nearly ten thousand yuan, and our familys bank card only has two thousand yuan left. Sigh, how are we going to live like this?

Old Lady Xue shot a vicious look at Xue Xis feet. When she saw the pair of shoes, she chided, Youre just a child. Why are you buying such expensive shoes? Ye Li, dont divide the family by being ignorant of how to live your life. My sons hard-earned money is not just for you to spend!

After saying this, she turned to look at Xue Sheng indignantly. And you, be more careful. Dont hand over all the money to some outsiders. What if they secretly gave it to her family?

Xue Sheng lowered his eyes and did not reply. He turned to look at Ye Li. I only remembered when Mom mentioned my maternal family. Lili, when you can just as easily bring Father-in-law and Mother-in-law over to our house, whats the point of letting them stay in the countryside?

Ye Li was slightly taken aback.

Ever since her father fell ill, she had always wanted to take care of him. However, she was staying at the Xue familys house back then. She could not possibly have let her parents suffer here.

Moreover, Old Lady Xue would definitely not have allowed them to stay.

After moving into the new house, Ye Li had actually prepared an extra master bedroom when she was renovating the house. Thinking that she would bring them over in the future, she was still thinking about how to speak to Xue Sheng about it when he unexpectedly took the initiative to say it.

Feeling touched, she nodded. Okay.

Pa!

Old Lady Xue threw her chopsticks on the bowl and made a crisp sound. Son, youre just trying to anger me on purpose! Look at this, old man. Your son has grown up to be someone elses!

Xue Sheng calmly replied, As long as Dad and Mom are willing, you can also stay at my place anytime.

Old Lady Xue panted, clearly infuriated.

Xue Gui, on the other hand, looked distracted. From time to time, he would look at Xue Sheng and suddenly ask, Big Brother, do you think the police can really help us get back the money that was stolen?

Liu Yiqiu sighed. They havent even caught Lu Chaos shadow yet! Its been a week and surely the money has already been scattered and transferred!

Xue Shengs gaze was resolute. You have to trust the police. Its such a huge sum of money, so you will definitely be able to get it back!

Xue Guis eyes flickered. Brother, do you really believe that we can get it back? Arent you just trying to comfort me?

Xue Sheng nodded. Yes.

Xue Gui immediately said, But I dont know when Ill be able to catch up to you. Why dont I pass you the debt for just 48 million yuan? Im in desperate need of money now. Anyway, Ill get that money back sooner or later. By then, youll have earned two million yuan. What do you think?

Xue Sheng:

He put down his chopsticks. Did he take him for a fool?

Everyone knew that whether or not they could get back the swindled money depended on luck. Moreover, some in a similar situation previously had gotten back only a portion of it. Now that a week had passed, the chances of getting everything back were slim.

How could Xue Gui be so thick-skinned as to raise such a request?

1

However, the old lady still agreed. I think you should do that.

Xue Sheng sneered. When we split up, 100 million yuan was split into four portions. We got only less than 30 million yuan. We dont have that much money.

Xue Gui immediately said, I dont believe that. Dont you have any private money?

Xue Sheng looked at him. No.

Xue Gui frowned. He and Liu Yiqiu looked at each other before deciding, 30 million is fine too!

They had been cheated out of so much money. Basically, they could expect to get back only half of it. Moreover, they were in desperate need of cash

Xue Sheng sneered. Do you think Ill agree?

Liu Yiqiu instantly turned to look at the old lady and sighed. Big Brother, we gave you this discount because we wanted to return Moms money. The four of us are still young and have good health. We can live even if we are poor. But when we invested back then, Mom also invested 20 million. Ive been unfilial, but I dont want Mom to suffer with us

No wonder they could casually take out 50 million in cash It turned out that Old Lady Xue had also invested in it!

Xue Shengs heart turned even colder.

Old Lady Xue panicked when she heard this. Son, you have to pay us this sum of money! Dont you see that? Your brother is at a disadvantage because of me. Cant you do something for your mother? Why must you drive your mother to her grave so that you can be at ease?

After saying this, she clutched her chest and started crying. Why is my life so bitter! My elder son values money more than my life

Another scene of crying and throwing tantrums came.

Xue Sheng felt as though his heart was being squeezed. How could he have such a biased and selfish mother?

He took a deep breath and looked at Ye Li.

After being husband and wife for so many years, they understood each others intentions with just one look.

Xue Sheng stood up and said, Mom, I can agree, but I have a request.

Old Lady Xue stopped crying and stopped throwing a tantrum. What request?

Xue Sheng looked at her steadily. If you insist on forcing me to agree, its fine. But then, you must treat this money as my last gift to you.

His words were very clear.

If Old Lady Xue insisted on using her life to force him to agree, then they would cut off their mother-and-son relationship hereafter!

Old Master Xues face turned pale. Just as he was about to speakOld Lady Xue could not wait any longer and said, Sure!
