"Su Qing, this is the person your mom introduced to you. Doesn’t he look good?"
Lying through her teeth, she was the best at it.
To call him 'not bad' was quite a stretch.
But I didn’t show my feelings; I just smiled and nodded.
My unexpected compliance made my mom very happy.
"Since both sides are interested, let’s set the wedding date today."
"As we agreed before, the betrothal gift is one million, no less."
One million?
Goodness, she really dared to ask for that.
Yet "Black Cube" didn’t say a word and happily agreed.
So we went from discussing wedding arrangements to talking about how many children we would have after marriage, from my studies to my career.
In those few hours of conversation, not a single person asked for my opinion.
Finally, it was "Black Cube" who remembered; he pointed at me and said,
"Mom, why haven’t we asked Su Qing what she thinks?"
To avoid the engagement, I told a lie and said I couldn’t have children.
My mom looked impatient and snorted coldly.
"What’s the point of asking her? I’m her mom; I make the decisions."
"Hei Pang Zi" smacked his lips and pulled out his bank card.
"Oh, you really are my good son-in-law."
My mom smiled so wide that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened.
Everyone was laughing, and as they were about to leave, I hurriedly called out to "Hei Pang Zi."
"I have an illness; do you really still want to marry me?"
"Hei Pang Zi" looked confused.
"What illness do you have?"
"Come here."
I pulled him aside.
"To be honest, I have a congenital uterine developmental disorder, which means I can't have children."
"My mom knows, but she doesn't want me to say anything. I couldn't bear to lie to you, so I told you the truth."
Not being able to have children is a big deal for his family; marrying a wife is all about continuing the lineage.
His expression immediately darkened.
"Then... why would you even get married if you can't have children? I'm not going through with this marriage."
After saying that, he angrily went to find my mom and snatched the card back.
"Hey, what are you doing? You already gave it to me, why are you taking it back?"
My mom looked puzzled.
"Who can't have children? Don't say such nonsense."
"He’s furious, thinking my mom is a big liar."
"You old hag, you think you can trick me!"
My mom instantly exploded.
"If you don't give me back the card today, don't even think about leaving this door."
My brother also shook his wheelchair and blocked his way.
"He’s not someone to mess with," he said fiercely, pointing at them.
"If you think you can stop me from leaving, are you sure about that?"
Those who have nothing to lose aren't afraid of threats; my mom and my brother, who are obsessed with money, certainly weren't intimidated by his words.
"Who’s afraid of whom? If you have the guts, just try to get past me."
The two stubborn and unreasonable people completely enraged him.
He actually pulled out a knife from his waistband.
My brother was so scared he hid behind my mom.
Though my mom was frightened, the thought of that one million made her stand tall.
"Come at me if you dare!"
"Bring it on! Anyone who backs down is a coward."
Hei Pang Zi charged forward with a knife in hand.
My Mom stood frozen, not moving an inch.
The blade sliced through My Mom's thigh, blood pouring out.
"Mom, are you okay?"
I feigned concern, but she shoved me away.
"Get lost! Is this your fault?"
"Mom, believe me, it wasn't me."
Hei Pang Zi stared at the bloodied knife, stunned.
He didn't expect My Mom to be so fierce, not even trying to dodge.
He tried to run, but my brother held onto his shirt tightly.
"You think you can hurt My Mom and just run away? Stand still!"
Hei Pang Zi kicked over the wheelchair, sending my brother crashing to the ground.
"Mom, I..."
My brother clutched his chest, wailing in pain.
My Mom dragged herself forward.
"Son, are you alright? Don't scare your mother."
Hei Pang Zi seized the opportunity to slip away.
"What are you standing there for? Go chase him and get that one hundred thousand back!"
As soon as I heard that, I dashed out after him.
Once I was far enough away, I leisurely sat by the roadside.
Hmph, how could I repay kindness with malice towards those who treat me well?
