Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Worse Off Than Us

After Ding Liang left, Ding Lijuan felt a strong sense of loss for quite some time.

Han Bowwen cursed in anger, "The moment he saw us in a tough spot, he immediately kicked us to the curb."

"Imagine that you naively treated him like your own son. You should know by now, in his eyes, you are nothing more than a stepping stone for him to get a foothold in the city!"

Ding Lijuan’s displeasure surfaced instantly, "What are you talking about! Xiao Liang is not that kind of person at all, I won’t allow you to talk about him like that! You simply don’t understand, he just didn’t want to drag me down!"

Han Bowwen was truly about to explode with rage because of Ding Lijuan’s ignorance, wishing he could kick her.

"He has sold you out, and you’re still there counting the money for him!"

"Who can’t see that Ding Liang is nothing but a two-faced little hypocrite, yet you’re foolishly kept in the dark by him!"

Ding Lijuan waved her hand dismissively, "Xiao Liang is the child I raised, just like my own son. Even if he deceives me, I am willing to let it happen. What business is it of yours!"

"You..." Han Bowwen was too angry to speak.

It took a good while before Han Bowwen finally said, "Let’s not talk about this anymore. What should we do now?"

They had lost their house and now didn’t even have a place to stay.

Ding Lijuan thought for a moment, "Hasn’t Jingting already rented a place? How about we go seek shelter with her?"

Upon hearing this, Han Bowwen felt so ashamed he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

"If you want to go, then go. I don’t have the face for it!"

In the past, for the sake of Ding Liang, an outsider, they drove Han Jingting, their own daughter, to rent a place to live.

Now, with nowhere to go and Ding Liang not bothering with them, they had to turn to their daughter for help, which was utterly humiliating!

Even though Ding Lijuan had thick skin, at this moment she too felt somewhat embarrassed.

But they truly had nowhere else to go now, and they didn’t have much money on them. Apart from turning to their daughter, it seemed there was no other option.

"Forget it, I’ll just give her a call. Maybe she’ll be eager for us to move in?"

Han Bowwen rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, where do you get this confidence from?

But Han Bowwen still leaned in closer, wanting to hear his daughter’s response.

Meanwhile, under the bridge at the noodle shop.

Approaching noon, it was the busiest time for the noodle shop, with customers filling the place to capacity.

All staff members were swamped with work, and even Han Jingting, who had come to help, was fully immersed in her tasks.

Just at that moment, Han Jingting’s phone suddenly rang.

Seeing it was her mom calling, Han Jingting’s expression subtly changed, but she ultimately pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Jingting, it’s Mom. Where are you right now?" Ding Lijuan’s voice was unusually gentle.

"I’m busy, what’s up?"

"Busy? Didn’t you quit your job? What could you possibly be busy with?" Ding Lijuan chuckled.

In her laughter, there was even a hint of mockery.

Han Jingting replied coolly, "Busy serving tea and water, busy cleaning tables and sweeping floors."

Ding Lijuan was taken aback, "Ah? Is this your new job? You’ve really fallen on hard times, haven’t you..."

Han Jingting thought scornfully, yes, if it weren’t for the two of you pocketing those twenty million, if it weren’t for you kicking me out of the house, I wouldn’t be in such a miserable state.

"Do you have anything else? If not, I’m hanging up."

The thought of her mother spending that twenty million with Ding Liang, while calling to mock her current life, made Han Jingting too frustrated to continue speaking.

Just as Han Jingting was about to hang up, she heard Ding Lijuan say, "Don’t hang up yet, I still have something to ask you."

"So, where is the house you rented? Mom wants to come visit you."

"Visit me?" Han Jingting was startled, "I already gave up the rental. I’m now living at... the workplace."

Han Jingting was now helping Xu Suzhen; saying she was staying at the unit was also not a problem.

"Ah? Staying at the unit?" Ding Lijuan felt a wave of disappointment.

From her perspective, those who lived at their workplace were just staying in some sort of communal dormitory.

Not only did her daughter have to serve tea and water, wipe tables, and sweep floors, but she also had to live in a dormitory. With such conditions, it was simply too miserable.

"Well, then, I’ll visit you when I get the chance in the future."

Having said that, Ding Lijuan hung up the phone directly.

Looking at the disconnected call, Han Jingting felt extremely disappointed.

She was very clear why her mother didn’t want to come over once she heard she was staying at the unit.

Because it was embarrassing!

On the other end of the phone.

"Why did you hang up without even asking where Jingting is working now?" Han Bowwen asked discontentedly.

Ding Lijuan snorted, "What’s there to ask? Serving tea, pouring water, wiping tables, sweeping floors—could that be any decent job?"

"I initially thought we could rely on her, but it turns out she’s having an even worse time than us, utterly unreliable!"

Ding Lijuan’s words were full of disappointment and disdain, making Han Bowwen’s heart feel very uncomfortable.

"No matter what, Jingting is still our birth daughter!"

"Lijuan, I’ve been wanting to tell you this for a long time. Haven’t you noticed you’ve changed completely since Ding Liang came to our house?"

"You favor this outsider over your own daughter! For Ding Liang, you even drove your own daughter and granddaughter out of the house."

"Now, you still scorn Jingting for being incompetent?"

"Don’t forget, the reason she lost her job and was kicked out of Han Corporation was all due to Ding Liang’s doing!"

"How can you be so biased towards Ding Liang? Do you really believe he will care for you in your old age?"

"Unfortunately, he knows better than you. No matter what you do, you’re just an aunt, nowhere close to his real mother!"

Han Bowwen, greatly angered, let out all the resentment that had been suppressed in his heart these past few days in one go.

Yet his words hit Ding Lijuan where it hurt the most, her face flushing with rage.

Finally, Ding Lijuan could no longer bear it and slapped Han Bowwen across the face with a smack.

"You... you actually hit me?!" Han Bowwen, holding his face, looked incredulous.

Ding Lijuan cursed furiously, "I hit you because you deserve it for trying to drive a wedge between me and Xiao Liang! I bet you’re just jealous I never had a son as excellent as Xiao Liang!"

Han Bowwen was at a loss for words.

What is this even about!

"Fine, you think Ding Liang is great, right? Then you can just live with your godson, see if he’ll take care of you in the future!"

"Anyway, I can’t deal with you anymore!"

With that, Han Bowwen grabbed his suitcase and walked straight out the door.

Seeing this, Ding Lijuan panicked and immediately started rolling on the ground, sitting down hard.

"I don’t want to live anymore!"

"My daughter doesn’t care for me, and now even my husband doesn’t care for me anymore. What’s the point of living!"

"I might as well die, I might as well die! Wah wah wah..."

Seeing this spectacle, Han Bowwen was so angry he felt his teeth itch.

"Keep it up then, keep on acting! Sooner or later, you’ll regret it!"
