Chapter 192: A Single Cent
“You wasted three hundred thousand dollars.” Fang Lilan was angered to the point where it seemed like there were new wrinkles on her already aging face. “Xinxin, Bai Qinghao’s money has already been returned. Do you know how large of a sum three hundred thousand dollars is to the Fang family right now?”
Fang Xinxin’s mocking smile deepened. “My father is on the hospital bed right now, but both of you are uninterested in his well being. Instead, you are clinging onto the matter of the three hundred thousand dollar clothes, refusing to let go. All I did was buy some clothes for Fang Manxue, didn’t I? Since our second uncle said he would pay, and agreed to buy them for Fang Manxue, what right do you have to criticise me?”
“You…” Fang Lilan was stifled with anger. “You damn child! You wasted so much money, yet you’re speaking as though you’re in the right.”
“It’s second sister’s clothes that wasted your money. If you are looking for someone to reprimand, go ahead and reprimand her.” Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly. “Mom, you buy the same make-up items that she buys. A few bottles of those alone add up to hundreds of dollars. Even the cheapest clothes you have are in the range of multiple thousand dollars. My dad’s treatment fees and hospital care fee are less than a few thousand dollars a month.”
Of course, that was only so in the previous hospital that he was in. It was cheap because it was a normal hospital.
Now that he was transferred to Jia Ya Hospital, and to the best room at that, the monthly fees would go up to several tens of thousand dollars. However, she, Fang Xinxin, had money now. It was a small matter for her to manage her father’s treatment fees on her own.
“Shouldn’t women buy some good skincare for themselves?” Fang Lilan glared at her. “Your mom isn’t young anymore. If I don’t take good care of my skin and put some effort into dressing well, I’ll age very quickly.”
Are you my mom? Fang Xinxin sneered internally. As she took in Fang Lilan’s face, she felt she had nowhere to vent her anger. “My dad made so much money for us previously, but it was used up by the two of you! If you hadn’t done that, we would still be a wealthy family after returning the owed money to Bai Qinghao. I didn’t tell you not to spend. But you should have put my dad’s treatment on priority!”
“…”
Fang Lilan was unbearably angered. She refused to take this lying down. “Isn’t it just money? Bai Qinghao has more than enough of it. In fact, to Bai Qinghao, what we had isn’t even worth a fart. You…”
Her tone became stern. “You must look for Bai Qinghao and ask him to continue supporting the Fang family financially!”
“Continue supporting the Fang family? To let you and Fang Manxue get away with free benefits?” Fang Xinxin was angered to the point of wanting to laugh. “And let that old gigolo, Long Yifan, join in?”
“Fang Xinxin!”
Fang Lilan and Fang Manxue both shouted at the same time.
If this had been in the past, this would have been sufficient to make her freeze.
However, the current Fang Xinxin was not affected by this in the slightest.
Since hard tactics wouldn’t work, Fang Lilan decided to use a soft one. She watched Fang Xinxin with loving eyes and spoke caringly. “Xinxin ah, your second uncle is your elder. Even if he is living in the Fang family, how could you describe him that way?”
Fang Lilan saw that she was silent and sighed. “Even if your second sister and I spent your father’s money, I’m your father’s wife. Manxue is his daughter. There’s nothing wrong about us using his money. You are also part of the Fang family. You have responsibility to shoulder the Fang family’s honor and disgrace, prosperity and decline. The current Fang family really cannot suffer the withdrawal of Bai Qinghao’s financial support. Do you mean to say that you can bear to watch the Fang family go into a decline?”
Her second uncle, her second sister… and the ‘birth’ mother standing in front of her. Whether or not these people were her relatives was still an unanswered question. Fang Xinxin decided that she needed to conduct a DNA test for every member in this family!
Fang Xinxin waved her hand uncaringly. “Mom, no matter how much glory the Fang family has enjoyed, or how much money Bai Qinghao has given to the Fang family, for the past seven years, you have never given me a single cent.”
