Chapter 1225: Chapter 1224: Bai Lan’s Past (2) Chapter 1225: Chapter 1224: Bai Lan’s Past (2) However, Zhou’s mother was anything but polite to Bai Lan.

She got straight to the point and said, “How much money will it take for you to leave my son?”

Bai Lan, faced with the domineering Mrs. Zhou, actually had mentally prepared herself.

She just didn’t expect her to be so direct, leaving no room for maneuver.

Because the situation was so sudden, Bai Lan froze on the spot, somewhat at a loss.

Because she was facing the mother of the man she loved, Bai Lan also felt particularly nervous inside.

Finally, she found her voice, stammering, “Auntie… I… don’t quite understand what you mean.”

Mrs. Zhou snorted coldly and then said, “What? Wasn’t I clear enough? Just name your price. You’re with Sheng Ting for the money, aren’t you?”

Even though Zhou Shengting was very low-key, many people in school knew that he was the scion of the wealthy Zhou family.

Whenever it was brought up, people were envious, after all, he had wealth, good looks–like he was specially favored by the heavens.

When Bai Lan heard Mrs. Zhou’s words, her heart felt like it was bleeding. So, in everyone’s eyes, she was a gold digger, with Zhou Shengting only for his money.

Even though she was deeply hurt, Bai Lan spoke up, “Auntie, you misunderstand. I truly love Sheng Ting, and I’m not with him for his money.”

Of course, Mrs. Zhou didn’t believe a word Bai Lan said. She furrowed her brow and then said, “Miss Bai, don’t try to act so high and mighty. I’ve seen plenty of women like you.”

Bai Lan looked down, silent. She knew how feeble her rebuttal must sound, but she was telling the truth–she wasn’t with Zhou Shengting for the money, in fact she didn’t even know how wealthy his family was.

During the time they were together, she never proactively asked, and Zhou Shengting didn’t volunteer any information either.

But it was apparent from Zhou Shengting’s lifestyle that his family’s circumstances were quite comfortable.

Her love was pure, and it hurt to think that Mrs. Zhou saw her in such a light.

It truly saddened her.

“Auntie, I don’t know how you figured I’m after money, but I can say with honesty, during the time I’ve been with Zhou Shengting, I haven’t spent a penny of his money. When we eat, we always go to the cafeteria.” Bai Lan felt deeply wronged.

She had always conducted herself with integrity and stood firm against such accusations, which now touched on the issue of her upbringing.

Although her family wasn’t wealthy, they had a tradition of scholarship; her parents were educators, and her upbringing had been strict. She would never do such a thing.

“Hmph, you talk a good game, but it’s your foxy charm that has Zhou Shengting all confused, and now he’s not even focusing on his studies. Look, he had such a good opportunity to go abroad for further studies, but he declined it for you.” Mrs. Zhou could feel rage rising whenever she thought of this matter.

“What?” Bai Lan froze when she heard this. Zhou Shengting had a chance to study abroad and he declined it?

When did this happen? Why didn’t she have any idea?

They were in different departments, so it was normal for her not to know, but how could Zhou Shengting not have mentioned such a big thing to her?

Suddenly, Bai Lan felt an unusual emotion fermenting inside her.

She was supposed to be his intimate partner, yet she was the last to know about such a crucial matter.

The irony was not lost on her.

“Auntie, I truly didn’t know about this,” Bai Lan felt very aggrieved. So it was because of this that she was deemed a scourge.
