  “This is not giving,” Jiang Yeqing said and then slowly took a drag of his cigarette.

  Wen Xinya was hysterical. “So it’s gifting?”

  Jiang Yeqing shook his head. “It’s not a gift. It’s a promise. She’s a good person and deserves a share of everything I own. I’ve said it before, all my assets will be hers. I’m just fulfilling my promise. Just like back then, when my adoptive father took me in, I swore in front of Second Master Guan that I would take good care of your family forever and treat you as my family.”

  “Family, is this how you treat your family now!” Wenxin’s tears started flowing.

  Little Precious, who was sitting by the side, was exhausted from crying because of the pain in his fingers. Just when he finally stopped, he started again when he saw his mother crying.

  Wenxin took the child into her arms and said to the man, “You’ve always insisted that you treat me as your sister, but you’ve always been on guard against me. You’ve never really treated me like family. You even said that you made an oath in front of Second Master Guan and my father, but did you keep your word!”

  “Which part of my oath did I not fulfil?” Jiang Yeqing put out his cigarette and looked at her sharply. “When you were at your wit’s end, who took you in, who provided you with the lifestyle you have today, who allowed you to live a carefree life and do whatever you please? Even when you somehow ended up with this child, I helped you raise him. Wenxin, to be fair, I’ve done my part.”

  “You dare say that you treat me as your sister. Is this how you treat your sister?!” Wenxin roared. “You bought so many houses for this woman. You should at least give me one!”

  Bo Chengcheng was furious. She picked up the cup of cold tea on the table and took a sip. Then, she said, “Madam Wen, please don’t be so shameless. Let’s not talk about how you’ve been a freeloader in my husband’s house for so long. Let’s talk about how you and your mother sold him off back then. From the moment you received that sum of money, you should know that you had cut ties with Jiang Yeqing and you had nothing more to do with him.”

  Wenxin yelled, “You have no right to speak here. Shut up!”

  Bo Chengcheng completely ignored the woman and continued, “But he didn’t ignore you. He paid for your treatment and gave you a good life. What else do you want?”

  Wenxin hugged the child and cried, paying no attention to Bo Chengcheng at all.

  Jiang Yeqing stood up and said, “I’ll continue to provide you with food and accommodation. You can do whatever you want in Yan City. Regardless of whether you’re willing or not, you have to leave next week. Otherwise, I shall have nothing more to do with you in the future. Our relationship should have been severed many years ago. You can end it if you want.”

  Wenxin trembled in fear when she heard this.

  Jiang Yeqing picked up Bo Chengcheng’s bag and turned to leave.

  Wenxin shouted indignantly, “Brother Jiang!”

  “Wait.” Bo Chengcheng pulled Jiang Yeqing back and turned to look at the woman. “Hubby, how much does Madam Wen receive from you every month, on average?”

  Jiang Yeqing’s heart melted at being addressed that way, and couldn’t stop himself from smiling. He thought for a while and gave an estimation. “Three to fifty thousand.”

  “Does that include the baby’s milk powder and the nanny’s pay?”

  “No.”

  “How much do these cost?”

  “About ten thousand.”

  Bo Chengcheng was furious when she heard this. “This won’t do, she treats you like an ATM. Many people work so hard every month and only get a few thousand yuan. In the future, just give her ten thousand yuan every month. We will pay directly, for the child and the nanny.”

  Wenxin’s expression changed completely on hearing this and she shrieked. “No!”
