Free Web NovelChapter 1167: Chapter 1181: Deleted Chapter
In an ordinary residential building in the Imperial City, Wang Xia marked and circled a few reasonably upscale restaurants on a newspaper.
She has been job hunting for nearly a month now, starting from white-collar positions to regular staff roles. She participated in more than thirty interviews, yet still hasn’t found a suitable job.
The best opportunity was being hired for two days before the HR department dismissed her, claiming she wasn’t competent for even a simple typist job.
Originally, she didn’t have a high level of education. Shortly after graduation, she married Haigang. After Haigang’s sacrifice, she received a substantial compensation, and even monthly payments.
She once wondered why the compensation for a martyr’s family is usually paid in a lump sum, yet she has received uninterrupted payments throughout the seven years since Haigang’s sacrifice. freёwebnovel.com
The monthly deposits into that account were even higher than a white-collar worker’s salary. Later, by chance, she discovered that the deposits were all supported by the Mu Group.
Even though she knew the deposits shouldn’t belong to her, upon realizing it was Mu Xingfeng’s provision, she felt at ease and enjoyed those benefits. Over time, she even felt it was only natural for Mu Xingfeng to support her and her son, and she kept striving toward what she believed was even more justifiable.
Yet all this came to an end with An Ran’s appearance.
Haigang’s compensation was long squandered, and her daily life relied on that account. Now, that account was frozen too.
When she considered the worst-case scenario, she didn’t expect to lose that income entirely, leaving her with nothing.
From the bedroom came the sound of a door opening. Wang Xia saw the slender figure, stood up, and walked over. "Rong, are you thirsty? I’ll get you some water."
Hairong walked past her without looking, as if he hadn’t heard a word from her.
Wang Xia followed closely behind, seemingly accustomed to the child’s attitude towards her. She bent over and continued, "Rong, are you still mad at Mom? You know those exclusive private schools are very expensive, and with our current situation, Mom truly can’t afford to send you there. Besides, you’re only six years old. How could you take care of yourself? Our local elementary school is also pretty good. At noon, I’ll arrange for you to have lunch at a small dining table and in the afternoon, I can pick you up and bring you home—doesn’t that sound good?"
Hairong still didn’t offer Wang Xia a glance, directly going to the table, struggling to pick up the thermos, pouring a cup of water, watching the steam rise, waiting for it to cool down. freёwebnovel.com
Wang Xia quickly ran to the refrigerator, grabbed a bottle of drink, and handed it over, "Rong, it’s so hot. Drink this; it’s your favorite drink."
With that, she unscrewed the bottle cap and held it out to Hairong.
Hairong extended his little hand, intending to push away the drink. Unexpectedly, Wang Xia thought Hairong was reaching for the drink. As their hands stretched out, the drink bottle fell directly to the ground.
"Crash—"
The glass bottle shattered into pieces, and the drink spilled out.
Wang Xia looked at the shards on the ground, her heart breaking into pieces alongside them.
As for Hairong, he acted as if nothing had happened, turning his attention back to his cup of water. The accumulated grievances erupted completely.
"Rong, what exactly do you want Mom to do? What do you want? Isn’t what Mom is doing enough? What more do you want? Why are you tormenting Mom like this?"
