Chapter 162: You Are Not Afraid, But What About Your Mother?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

No matter what attitude Ding Mengya had shown towards her, she was still the mother of the boy she liked and, therefore, demanded some level of respect.

Zhuang Nainai bowed and continued to look at her with determination in her large, sparkling eyes.

Ding Mengya paused and took out a cheque. “Five hundred thousand?”

Five hundred thousand?

Zhuang Nainai’s eyes widened.

She had grown up in the ghetto with her mother. They did not have much savings – they amounted to ten to twenty thousand dollars at best.

Therefore, five hundred thousand had been an astronomical figure to Zhuang Nainai.

The Si family was indeed wealthy.

Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists tightly. “Auntie, please accept me!”

“A million?”

That sum did not even make Ding Mengya flinch.

Zhuang Nainai stood her ground stubbornly. “Auntie, Si Zhengting and I are truly in love, I don’t love him for his…”

“Five million.”

Everyone in the cafe was in shock when she announced that figure in her clear, crisp voice.

Five million dollars!

One could live off of that amount with a car and a house comfortably for the rest of his life!

Zhuang Nainai and her mother had squeezed inside a tiny house all her life. Whenever the roof leaked when it rained, or when they shivered during the winter, she had dreamed of buying a warm and cozy apartment.

She could easily afford two houses with five million dollars!

It was a very tempting offer.

Zhuang Nainai’s eyes narrowed, and she straightened up her body.

Her respect for Ding Mengya vanished in an instant.

Zhuang Nainai had always spoken her mind. She curled her lips and asked, “Auntie, do you think that you could get rid of me with five million dollars?”

Ding Mengya frowned. “How much do you want, then?”

Zhuang Nainai laughed coldly. “How much do you think your son is worth? Do we weigh him on the weighing scale? Or what?”

Ding Mengya was displeased. “What do you take him for?”

Zhuang Nainai replied, “Exactly, Auntie, what do you take him for? Forget about five million dollars, even if you were to offer me the entire Si family fortune, I would not leave him!”

She then backed up a step and took another bow. “I’m only here because you are Si Zhengting’s mother, and I don’t have any other intentions, please do not misunderstand. Also, unless Si Zhengting told me himself that he no longer loves me and wants to end it with me, I would not leave.”

She then stood and walked towards the exit. After two steps, she suddenly turned and slammed a hundred-dollar bill on the table. “This is for the coffee, thank you.”

Zhuang Nainai was about to leave again when she heard Ding Mengya laugh. “Zhuang Nainai, you should know your limits.”

Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brows and looked at her in confusion.

Ding Mengya spoke slowly. “Leaving the matter of money aside, let’s talk about your education, do you really dare to be with Zhengting? It’s not as glamorous as you think, marrying into a rich family.”

Zhuang Nainai was fearless. “I’m not afraid, as long as I’m with him, I can take any kind of lifestyle!”

Ding Mengya narrowed her eyes. “You are not afraid, but what about… your mother?”

Zhuang Nainai had been naive and did not understand her words. “What do you mean? What does this have to do with my mother?”

Ding Mengya shook her head and said slowly, “Zhuang Nainai, believe it or not, I could raise one finger, and your mother and you would no longer be able to stay in the whole of Beijing city.”
