Qiao Yuan was anxious. She pointed at her while trembling in anger and shouted, “Song Yiyan! Is this what I’ve taught you since you were young? How can you say that?”

Song Yiyan was obviously going to argue with her. “Mom, you know full well that you’re not worth letting those vampires suck your blood!”

Qiao Yuan never expected that after she convinced Song Xin, she would bump into a wall with her daughter. “The vampire you’re talking about is your maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, uncle, aunt, and cousins. Since young, when have you ever been mistreated by the Qiao family?”

“What about you? You treat them as your family, but do they treat you as their family?” Song Yiyan was furious.

Why was she so stubborn even after being used as a tool and still thought that they were good to her!

“You…” Qiao Yuan raised her hand and slapped her.

Ji Xing stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, blocking Song Yiyan’s way. “Auntie, calm down.”

Qiao Yuan’s eyes were red, and she was so angry that tears fell uncontrollably. The moment she retracted her hand, she covered her face and cried out in discomfort.

Song Yiyan sighed, knowing that it was impossible for her to persuade her anytime soon. After all, she had been a good daughter in the eyes of her family for so many years. “Mom, I was wrong. This matter ends here, I won’t say anything else, okay?”

Qiao Yuan was crying terribly. Her body was trembling violently due to extreme anger, but she did not cry out.

Song Yiyan’s heart ached for her and she hated her for being so soft-hearted. She squatted on the ground and stuffed tissues into her mother’s hands. “Mom, stop crying.”

Qiao Yuan was crying not only because of her daughter’s rebuttal, but she also knew in her heart that the Qiao family was a bottomless pit.

There was a saying, one may give financial aid to others in an emergency, but should not do so if they are perennially in need of money. She knew better than anyone what she had been doing all these years.

But what’s the use?

No matter what others said, the Qiao family had raised her, she could not be heartless. It was not easy for her parents to raise her up, she had to be filial and repay their kindness.

Song Yiyan saw how sad she was from crying, and her heart softened.

She felt that if she really exposed him in front of her grandfather and Song Jing, her mother would cry to death!

In the entire Song family, the woman who loved her the most was undoubtedly the woman in front of her. She wanted to let her out of her misery, but she did not want to see her so sad.

The Qiao family was like a cancer that could not be removed in a short time. She wanted to find a chance to think about how to get rid of this trouble once and for all.

Qiao Yuan’s phone suddenly rang. Her voice was hoarse from crying as she looked at the words on the screen, “Mom.”

After hesitating for a moment, she hung up the phone with a trembling voice.

However, just as she hung up, her phone rang again.

Qiao Yuan did not know whether she should hang up or answer the phone. If her mother found out that she was angered to tears by her daughter, she would scold her for being useless.

But she was useless. If she was useful and could be ruthless, things wouldn’t have developed to this stage.

On account of her, the Old Master would still give her anything she wanted. He was still willing to help her out.

But in private, the second son’s family and all the superficial sisters she knew would secretly call her Voldemort, desperate to use her in-laws’ resources for her own family.

They even said that if she was in their family, they would definitely kick someone like her out of the house. No matter how rich they were, they could not resist such a greedy maternal family!

Moreover, even though the money belonged to others, they snatched it for themselves. What was wrong with them for being so greedy and tactless?

Qiao Yuan did not pick up the phone.

Song Yiyan took the phone away and answered the call. She even put it on speaker and let everyone hear.

“What’s wrong with you? Are you getting bolder? Why did you hang up on me?” The old lady’s angry voice was very shrill. Just from her voice, one could roughly imagine the image of a sharp and mean old lady.

Song Yiyan frowned as disgust flashed across her eyes. When she went to the Qiao family, the Qiao family seemed to treat her kindly on the surface. She could not wait to show them her sincerity.

She knew that behind her back, the Qiao family would definitely not treat her mother well. But she never dreamed that they would go so far.

She said nothing, and just listened.

“There’s a problem with the capital chain of your second brother’s company. Hurry up and give me five million yuan, I want it immediately,” the old lady of the Qiao family ordered matter-of-factly.

Hearing her tone, Song Yiyan knew that it wasn’t the first time she had asked for money. She was so arrogant as if someone owed her money.

Qiao Yuan stood up and looked at her daughter pleadingly. She whispered, “Give me the phone.”

Her face, the image that she had tried her best to maintain in front of her daughter, was completely gone.

Song Yiyan refused to give it to her.

When the old lady from the Qiao family heard that she was silent, she continued to scold her. “Are you deaf or mute? I said that your second brother wants five million yuan. Say something!”

Song Yiyan coughed and finally said, “Grandma, my mother isn’t around.”

Old Madam Qiao didn’t expect it to be her who answered the phone, she immediately changed her domineering attitude. “It’s Yanyan. Where’s your mother? Let your mother answer the phone, Grandma wants to talk to her about something.”

Song Yiyan heard this change. “Grandma, if you have anything to say, just tell me. My mother was sick today and fell asleep long ago.”

“She’s asleep? Then help me wake her up, Grandma has something very important to discuss with her.” Old Madam Qiao gritted her teeth in hatred.

Damn girl, how could she be so careless and let Yanyan pick up the call? She would skin her alive when she got home!

Yanyan was the only pillar of support the Qiao family had in the Song family. It was said that the Song family’s old master cared more about her recently.

As long as she could make the Song family’s Old Master happy, a little bit of his assets would be enough for the Qiao family to survive for the rest of their lives.

She must not let Yanyan know how she treated her mother.

“Grandma, are you talking about Second Uncle wanting five million yuan?” Song Yiyan was very gentle.

When Old Madam Qiao heard that there was still a chance, she told Yanyan to ask the Song family for money, which was even better. “Yes, something happened to your second uncle’s company. Don’t worry, grandma will just borrow the money for a short while. When your second uncle’s company is settled, I will return the money to you.”

“Okay, I’ll ask my father.” Song Yiyan was still very friendly.
