Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Daughter, or ATM?

Han Jingting sighed, saying resignedly, "That’s not what I mean, but it is my working hours now, and I still have a lot of work that I haven’t dealt with."

"If you don’t have anything urgent, I’m afraid I can’t accompany you for the time being."

Han Jingting wasn’t throwing a tantrum; indeed she was about to chair a high-level company meeting, and those executives should already be waiting in the meeting room at this time.

However, Ding Lijuan wasn’t about to care about any of that.

As soon as Han Jingting said this, Ding Lijuan’s expression instantly darkened.

"What do you mean by that? Your dad and I came all this way, and you haven’t even spoken two sentences before you’re trying to send us away? Is that how unwelcome we are?"

"I...," Han Jingting felt indignant.

Chen Xuan hurriedly explained, "Mom, you misunderstood, Jingting isn’t trying to send you away, she really does have work to do."

"Busy my ass! Just because you’ve become some chairman, you think you’re something special, huh!"

"It’s been a month; have you visited us even once? If it wasn’t for Xiao Liang keeping us company, we might as well have died at home without anyone caring, right?!"

"You’re not even warm yet, and you already don’t recognize your own parents. If you get any more successful, aren’t you going to reach the heavens?!"

Ding Lijuan, like a cat with its tail stepped on, furiously railed against Han Jingting.

Hearing Ding Lijuan’s words, Han Jingting also felt a pang of guilt in her heart.

This past month was the time for the new skin release at Jiaren Corporation; her work was indeed too busy, and she had truly never gone back to visit her parents.

Upon reflection, Han Jingting felt that she had indeed been somewhat derelict in her duties as a daughter.

"I’m sorry, mom, I have indeed been very busy recently. Once things settle down, I will make sure to regularly visit."

Ding Lijuan waved her hand dismissively, speaking sarcastically, "No need. The daughter that’s married off is like water poured away. I see that now you’re only eager to please your own husband and mother-in-law, where would you find the time to care about whether we live or die. We might as well die sooner to get out of your way!"

Han Jingting’s heart stung at those words, "Mom, what are you talking about! When have I ever stopped caring about whether you live or die?"

Ding Lijuan: "Am I wrong? Look at your whole family now, each one starting companies, opening noodle shops, all having their own careers."

"What about your dad and me? We have no company, no jobs. Our daughter doesn’t care about us, we’re so poor we can barely afford meals, and no one looks out for us!"

"We are just so pitiable! Wuu wuu wuu..."

Han Jingting gave a bitter laugh, utterly disappointed.

Now she finally understood. Her mother had gone around in such a big circle that in the end, it was all about asking her for money!

"Mom, can you please be a bit more responsible with your words? How have I not cared about you? Wasn’t it just two months ago that I gave you twenty million? If you hadn’t squandered it, would you be in this situation now?"

Ding Lijuan was left speechless by the retort.

"Also, Chen Xuan’s mother’s noodle shop was established through her own hard work. Besides the initial investment provided by Chen Xuan, she never asked us for another penny!"

"If you had used that twenty million wisely, by now, you could have opened up ten noodle shops!"

Han Jingting’s consecutive remarks made both Ding Lijuan and Han Bowwen’s faces unbearable.

However, Ding Liang was all smiles, "Sis, actually, the behavior of aunt and uncle can be understood. They had never seen any big money before, so suddenly having twenty million, they indeed didn’t know how to use it."

Ding Lijuan scrambled to agree, "Xiao Liang is right, our reckless spending before was indeed wrong. Don’t worry, If you give us money again in the future, we definitely won’t squander it anymore, we will certainly make good use of it!"

As she spoke, Ding Lijuan even kicked Han Bowwen, signaling him to speak up.

Han Bowwen caught the hint and hurriedly echoed, "Jingting, your mom is right, we definitely won’t be so extravagant anymore! You must believe us!"

Han Jingting’s smile was full of bitterness, "So, you came here today, not really to see me. You came here, still to ask me for money, right?"

"This..." Han Bowwen was awkwardly embarrassed, uneasy about speaking.

But Ding Lijuan’s face turned sharp, "You are our daughter, the one we raised. Isn’t it natural for us to ask you for money?"

Han Jingting was filled with indignation, "You raised me, I provide for you, it should indeed be so. But do you think I can still afford you now?"

"You spent twenty million in two months, my earning speed can’t even keep up with your spending speed!"

"Even if you raised me, shouldn’t you treat me this way? Do you see me as your daughter or as an ATM?!"

"Dad, mom, you weren’t like this before. When we were poor, you still lived happily. What’s happened to you now?!"

As Han Jingting spoke, tears began to flow involuntarily.

Seeing Han Jingting like this, Han Bowwen felt a pang of guilt.

"Jingting, don’t cry, we didn’t mean to pressure you..."

However, Ding Lijuan remained just as adamant, "We already said, we won’t spend recklessly like before. Aren’t you going to give us even one chance?"

Han Jingting wiped away her tears, "Alright, I can give you money."

"Really?!" Ding Lijuan’s eyes lit up, her attitude doing a complete one-eighty. "That’s my good daughter! I knew you, Jingting, would be so sensible, you definitely wouldn’t ignore us!"

Han Bowwen and Ding Liang were also overjoyed.

Toward the end of their overseas trip, they practically traveled in poverty, not even staying in five-star hotels.

Now, just thinking about soon having money, about returning to their previous life of glitz and glamour, they couldn’t help but get excited.

But before they could start celebrating, Han Jingting’s next words poured a bucket of cold water on them.

"I can give you money, but I won’t do it in lump sums like before. From now on, I’ll give you ten thousand yuan each month for living expenses!"

This time, Han Jingting learned from her previous mistake and decided to follow Chen Xuan’s earlier advice.

Upon hearing this, Ding Lijuan and the rest were dumbfounded, "What? Each month? Ten thousand yuan?"

"Jingting, if you don’t want to give, just say so. Just ten thousand yuan a month for pocket money, are you kidding me?!" Ding Lijuan rebuked with
