I continued, "You even forced me to give your son a house that belongs to my parents. If I don't, you won't let me marry him? What, is your son for sale, and we've bought him?"
I stared at Xu Chi's Mother, a hint of sarcasm on my face. "Your useless son is worth a house? Are you dreaming?!"
Xu Chi's Mother, feeling cornered by my words, flushed red and suddenly stood up. She stopped rolling her eyes and raised her hand as if to hit me. "Is this how you speak to your elders? Today, I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!"
Before her hand could land, I grabbed her wrist firmly and said coldly, "If you lay a finger on me today, I will definitely ruin Xu Chi. Have you forgotten who arranged his job?"
Xu Chi's Mother froze at my words. She probably remembered that Xu Chi, with his mediocre education, couldn't find a good job without my father's help getting him into a friend's company.
"You... what are you talking about? Our family may not be well-off, but Xiao Chi is capable; he earned everything himself!"
"I'm just concerned for the child! Do you think our Old Xu Family would let someone like you in otherwise?!"
What a joke about working hard for success—did she even believe it herself? I had seen enough of this disgusting mother-son duo putting on a show. Finally, I said, "Let me tell you, don’t ever threaten me with the child again; I've already terminated the pregnancy. Return my car within three days and stop harassing me, or I will call the police."
With that, I turned to leave. Upon hearing that I had terminated the pregnancy, Xu Chi's Mother was instantly stunned. After a moment, she screamed:
“Lu Xinran, stop right there! What right do you have to take away my great-grandson? You owe me for the emotional distress!”
I could no longer hold back; this old fool was truly unrepentant.
“Have you caused enough trouble? Liu, throw her out! Don’t let her back in!” The manager shouted for security.
This time, the security guard, standing at six feet three inches, didn’t hold back. He dragged her out like a chick.
As she was being pulled away, she continued to curse at me. Fortunately, the manager was familiar with my parents and understood our situation, so he didn’t blame me. He sighed as he passed by me and said, “Xinran, make sure to choose your men wisely!”
“I’ll give you a couple of days off. Go home and rest. Come back when you’ve calmed down,” he added.
I nodded, feeling grateful as I packed my things to head home. But I still couldn’t swallow my anger!
Why should this old fool keep humiliating me just because she had no shame? If I didn’t make Xu Chi pay for this, they would continue to cause trouble.
If they dared to provoke me, they would have to face the consequences!
When I got home in the afternoon, I organized every penny I had spent on Xu Chi over the years. I made a detailed list, compiling transfer records, photos of him flaunting my car, and chat logs where his mother pressured my family to transfer the house to his brother—all into a lengthy post for Weibo.
To be honest, even I was shocked when I calculated it all. Over these years, I had spent more than two hundred thousand on Xu Chi!
He often complained to me about being broke, constantly asking for gifts, and it all added up to quite a sum! I was so frustrated that I could almost slap myself.
In a fit of anger, I decisively posted a long Weibo message online and even paid for it to trend.
"Help! I've spent over two hundred thousand on my boyfriend in four years, yet he drives my car and lives in my house. He’s pressuring me to bring back the Bride Price and has even transferred my parents' house to his brother for his wedding, or else he won't marry me. In a fit of rage, I called off the engagement, and now his mother is causing a scene at my workplace. What should I do?!"
At first, the post didn’t get much attention, but once I paid for it to trend, its popularity began to soar. The next morning, I woke up to my phone blowing up with dozens of missed calls and countless messages flooding in.
