Chapter 581: Chapter 581: Severance of Grace and Ties

Watching her brother who seemed to have aged several years overnight, Wang Xiaoni felt not the slightest pity.

"I’m not going to lend the money."

Wang Hai spoke in a low and humble voice, "I know Li Banlian has hurt your heart, but after all, I am your brother, and Biaozi is your nephew."

"You’re my brother, so you stood by and watched mom get bullied all the time. Wang Biao is my nephew, so when trouble comes it’s my son who has to take the blame." Wang Xiaoni stared at Wang Hai, "In your eyes, is family just there to be taken advantage of?"

Wang Hai was awkwardly at a loss for words, having never expected his sister who seldom spoke to say such harsh words.

"Before, we were in the wrong, but now it’s a matter of life and death. Biaozi is waiting for surgery, we can’t just let him die, can we?"

Wang Xiaoni said coldly, "When mom left home, she didn’t take a single penny. You all know very well where the money I gave her as filial support went, and those gold chains, earrings, bracelets..."

As Wang Xiaoni listed them one by one, a hint of shame and annoyance appeared on Wang Hai’s face.

"But these things aren’t all in my possession."

"You can ask the second brother and his wife for them."

Wang Xiaoni slammed the door shut with a bang, not wanting to see him again.

Wang Hai was full of anger and resentment, wishing he could smash the glass.

But the Yue Family were not ones they could afford to provoke.

Moreover, Wang Hai realized that Wang Xiaoni no longer had any familial affection for them.

If he really dared to do something extreme, Wang Xiaoni would definitely call the police without a second thought.

There was already one family member with a prison number, they couldn’t afford another.

Wang Hai returned empty-handed, and somehow the money was raised afterwards.

It was said that the first and second branches of the Wang Family had a fierce quarrel and ended up splitting the family.

It caused a commotion that unsettled the whole household.

After being treated, Wang Biao would also face the judgment of the law.

Yet none of this affected the Yue Family at all.

Despite the long summer vacation, it always seemed too short for students.

In less than a week, Yue Qingqing would be going to study at Lingguang No.1 Middle School.

The three children returned to Zhuancheng.

The adults in the family took turns preparing delicious meals, and Yue Qingqing felt she had gained two pounds.

But—

The phone at home often rang, and whenever it was picked up, the calls were from old classmates and two older school brothers.

There was none from Jiang Jingze.

Even Yue Jiandong began to sense something was wrong, and he asked obliquely, "Did you have a falling-out with that Jiang kid?"

Yue Qingqing shook her head and didn’t answer.

It probably couldn’t be considered a falling-out...

It’s just that, for the moment, she didn’t know how to face it.

Yue Jiandong, who had originally been smug about it, now couldn’t help but worry when he noticed his daughter often glancing at the landline.

That Jiang Jingze, he wouldn’t go to Minghua University and meet some girl, leaving our Qingqing high and dry, would he?

The more Yue Jiandong thought about it, the angrier he got, with an impulse to demand an explanation.

But then he thought again, isn’t this exactly what I want? So why am I so angry?

Yue Jiandong turned out to be even more troubled than his own daughter.

The day before school started, everyone in the family was eager to see Qingqing off.

In the end, it was Yue Jiandong and Zhang Ying, her parents, who won the chance, setting off together with large and small packages.

The journey was not short, and it took several hours by car.

Yue Qingqing looked out the window, somewhat distracted.

Zhang Ying handed a black small square box to Yue Qingqing.

Yue Qingqing asked curiously, "Mom, what’s this?"

"A pager, it’s convenient for staying in touch."

Even though the family could already buy Yue Qingqing a mobile phone, firstly, charging it in the dormitory was inconvenient, and secondly, the signal was poor in many places.

In contrast, a pager, or BB machine, was more convenient.

Zhang Ying explained to Yue Qingqing how to use it, and Yue Qingqing quickly understood.

This was just like the Sound Transmission Talisman from before, but a simplified version.
