Chapter 202 The Mother of Char Siu Man 2 (28)
As soon as Xia Mingwei spoke, Luo Yefan's eyes widened, and he asked incredulously, "Mom, are you crazy? They want my hand!"
She shrugged helplessly. "But if we don't give them your hands, they'll demand two million!"
"Then give them to them! It's just two million, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Mingwei's smiling face immediately vanished.
"Two million? Do you even have two million? Our family went bankrupt a long time ago. You probably don't even have twenty thousand in your pocket!"
"Mom, don't you have two million? Give them to them first, and I'll pay you back later!"
Xia Mingwei sneered from the side, "Pay back? What will you use to pay back? Your monthly salary of five thousand, or your mouth that lies without batting an eye? You make it sound so easy. You think you can just open your mouth and expect me to hand over two million? You're dreaming!"
"But I can't let them cut off my hand!"
Xia Mingwei walked to Luo Yefan's side and gently patted his cheek. "They can only take one of your hands at most, but asking me to hand over two million is like asking for my life!"
"You'll do this so I can take care of myself! Son, am I right?"
At this moment, Luo Yefan cursed Xia Mingwei eight hundred times in his heart.
Is that correct?
Yes, yes, yes, you big dummy!
The scene Xia Mingwei had anticipated—Luo Yefan hurling insults—did not occur. Instead, his voice softened. "Mom, I was wrong. I shouldn't have gambled! Please help me this once, okay? I promise I'll change! I don't want to become a disabled person..."
Upon hearing Luo Yefan's words, Xia Mingwei revealed her signature smile, "Oh, switching to a sob story now? Playing the emotional card?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yefan could barely maintain the pleading expression on his face.
She really is impervious to both soft and hard approaches!
In order to keep the act going, Shu Qing also stepped in to smooth things over, "Mom, Brother Fan knows he was wrong. Considering it's his first offense, let's forgive him and help him this time!"
Xia Mingwei shook her head. "I've seen too many gamblers! These people lie without batting an eye! They always say it's the last time, but they're still old habits die hard! They can't break these habits!"
"Therefore, I cannot give them my money!"
Xia Mingwei spoke with unwavering determination, as if one could sense her resolve.
After saying this, Xia Mingwei, with tears in her eyes, said to Luo Yefan, "So, son, I can only ask you to make do! Just give it to them!"
Luo Yefan's face was grim, and the veins on his arms were bulging.
Look at what his mother is saying, is this something that can be given away so easily?
People who don't know might think they're going to the vegetable market to buy groceries.
These are his hands!
After Xia Mingwei "persuaded" Luo Yefan, she turned around and urged the thugs to start class.
"He's already agreed, so go ahead and cut it!"
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged bewildered glances, and those who were supposed to be serious almost lost their composure.
How should I respond to this situation?
Are they really going to cut it?
This knife strike will surely kill someone!
The original plan was to scare the old lady, take the money, and leave.
But judging from the current situation, they won't be able to take the money!
This act can't go on anymore!
"Sister, I'm so sorry about this! It was all a misunderstanding!"
One of them couldn't hold back any longer and spoke out.
"Misunderstand?"
The man glared at Luo Yefan before explaining, "Actually, we're all just extras. They hired us to act in this movie!"
"They just pretend to be loan sharks and take two million from you! Afterwards, we give them the two million, and they'll give us some kind of reward!"
One of them, fearing that Xia Mingwei might not understand, added something from the side.
After saying that, the man spat at Luo Yefan and Shu Qing.
Using this method to swindle money from the elderly is truly despicable!
This isn't a son, it's clearly a piece of char siu!
If he had a son like that, he'd send him back to school for a fresh start!
To fit the occasion, Xia Mingwei feigned an incredulous expression.
Her dejected appearance resembled that of a heartbroken old mother.
"They say money can move people's hearts, but I never expected that the person who would harm me would be my own son!"
Seeing that his plan had been exposed, Luo Yefan panicked, "Mom, don't listen to their nonsense, this was all Shu Qing's idea!"
"I was just too tired from work lately, and she bewitched me. I was momentarily blinded by greed and did this. Mom, please forgive me, okay?"
Luo Yefan stood aside, humbly begging Xia Mingwei for forgiveness.
Xia Mingwei sneered, "Bewitched by her? She's not Daji, why would you listen to her so easily?"
"I think you're the one who's gone crazy wanting this money! Otherwise, why would a normal person agree to such an absurd idea?"
"You're shifting all the blame onto Shu Qing. Don't you feel you've done anything wrong?"
"Or perhaps, deep down you completely agree with this suggestion! You're just going along with it for the sake of ridiculous face!"
Xia Mingwei's barrage of questions left Luo Yefan speechless, unable to utter a single word.
He felt that in front of Xia Mingwei, all the dirty things in his heart had been exposed.
He wanted to argue, but he couldn't say a word.
Because he also knew that these lame excuses wouldn't fool a grown woman like his mother!
Just as Luo Yefan was racking his brains to try and defend himself, Xia Mingwei squatted down.
She looked at Luo Yefan coldly, "From today onwards, you can forget about my money! I won't give you a single penny!"
"It's better to do something that makes you happy than to raise an ungrateful child!"
Luo Yefan's face turned bright red. Was the ingrate his mother was talking about really him?
How could she describe him like that?
Besides, is two million a lot? In the past, it would have been just my monthly allowance!
His mother gave him money so many times, why couldn't she continue to support him? Instead, he went bankrupt and is now heavily in debt!
If his family hadn't gone bankrupt, would he have had to work so hard? For two million, did he really have to resort to cheating his own mother out of money?
His mother is really something, why does she have to have that two million? She already has this house, why is she still holding onto that money so tightly?
If I had given him the money sooner, none of this mess would have happened!
He wouldn't have been called an "ungrateful wretch" or a "scumbag" by others!
