Free Web NovelChapter 1070: Chapter 45: Find Out Where Your Sister-in-Law Goes After 11 PM (Part 2)
Nie Xiaoxing stared at her, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Fu Ruyi’s eyes widened, and tears burst out of her eyes, quickly soaking her entire face, "Those people were terrifying back then, they’d show up once every few days and force your father to repay his debts.
Your father couldn’t come up with the money, so they beat him half to death. Later, they even started hitting me. I was really scared of being beaten!"
When Fu Ruyi said the last sentence, she suddenly burst into tears.
"Xiaoxing, Mom is useless, it was Mom who dragged you into hell with her own hands, Mom is a sinner, even if I died, it wouldn’t repay everything I’ve done to you."
Nie Xiaoxing clenched her fists, "No matter how much you repent to me now, it won’t change the facts."
"I know, I know. I shouldn’t have sacrificed you for me and your father to survive. But we truly didn’t know they would sell you to such a horrific place, testing drugs on you..."
"Can you stop talking?"
Nie Xiaoxing’s lips showed a hint of paleness as she looked at Fu Ruyi.
Fu Ruyi covered her mouth with one hand, sobbing, "The family’s business suddenly collapsed, your father had to borrow from those people to save it. Who knew that after the money was spent, there was still no improvement in the business. Those times were really tough.
Every day, people would come to collect debts, some came to kick us when we were down, gloating, and even the neighbors would look at us with contempt and disdain!
Later, the people who loaned the high-interest debts decided your father couldn’t repay so much money and offered a deal, asking your father to do them a favor. If he did, he wouldn’t have to repay the debt.
Your father knew in his heart this favor wouldn’t be simple or ordinary. But at that time, there was no other way but to agree.
So during that period, your dad went with those people to K City. Once he left, it was for two or three months. I waited at home every day for him to come back. But when your dad finally returned, he brought even bigger trouble along.
It turned out those people took your dad to K City to act as their contact. For things they couldn’t easily handle themselves, they gave to your father to take care of.
Your father initially had no idea what messages he was conveying meant. Later, he gradually realized those people were smuggling drugs.
Your father was scared at that time, and whenever he did these things, he felt uneasy conscious. So your dad ran away, fled back home.
He escaped and returned within a few days, and shortly after, you came home. Those people might have guessed your dad had run back home not long after he escaped.
After you returned, they came to the house with people and beat your dad again. You know what happened afterward. They’d come every few days..."
"At that time, I said we should move away, far from here, but you couldn’t leave those acres of land and refused to go."
Nie Xiaoxing’s lips curled coldly, "If you had been willing to sell those acres of land back then, even if it wasn’t enough to cover the high-interest debts, selling the house would have been enough, right?"
Fu Ruyi looked at Nie Xiaoxing mournfully, "Those acres are your father and my hard work for over ten years, how could I bear to leave them..."
"You couldn’t bear to give up those dozen acres, but you could sell your own daughter." Nie Xiaoxing’s voice grew colder.
"..."
Fu Ruyi choked up, staring at Nie Xiaoxing.
Nie Xiaoxing squinted, her face showing an undeniable coldness, "I often wonder, am I really your biological daughter? If I am, why am I worth less than those acres of land?"
Nie Xiaoxing’s voice became hoarse, "But if I’m not, I still clearly remember how good you were to me and how you cared when I was little. So I can’t understand."
Fu Ruyi, with tears streaming down her face, got up from the sofa and crouched in front of Nie Xiaoxing, lifting her tear-filled face to look at Nie Xiaoxing, "Xiaoxing, Mom was really muddle-headed from being beaten at that moment, it was only after you were taken away that I realized what I had done. I regret it so much, I really do!"
"Xiaoxing, please give Mom another chance, okay? Mom will definitely make it up to you, return everything I’ve deprived you of!"
"Please give Mom one more chance, Xiaoxing, I’m begging you Xiaoxing. I can kneel for you, okay?"
Fu Ruyi cried painfully, wanting to kneel down to Nie Xiaoxing.
Nie Xiaoxing took a breath, suddenly stood up from the sofa, looking down at Fu Ruyi with a pale face, "Tell me, what do you really want?"
"Xiaoxing..."
"If all you want is to repent in front of me, I’ve heard it. If there’s nothing else, I’m tired, I’m going to my room to rest."
Nie Xiaoxing interrupted her, lifting her leg to walk toward the room.
"Xiaoxing!"
Fu Ruyi suddenly stood up, staring at Nie Xiaoxing with tears, "Xiao Yan just said, let’s move to Da He’s place, why did you oppose it?"
Nie Xiaoxing’s sneer froze on her lips.
This is it.
This is her mother, indeed!
In her mother’s heart, there’s only herself!
Maybe she has a small position in her mother’s heart, but compared to herself, it doesn’t count for anything.
Nie Xiaoxing no longer knows if she should feel sad or numb!
She turned her head, a cold gaze fixed on Fu Ruyi’s hopeful face, "Why wouldn’t I oppose it?"
"Xiaoxing, if we move to Da He’s place, Xiao Yan will definitely strengthen security, and even if Yan Shu’s people find out we’re at Da He’s, they wouldn’t get in easily.
Compared to living here, living at Da He’s would be much safer, wouldn’t it?" Fu Ruyi said.
"But if we move to Aunt Yuan’s place, we’d be putting Aunt Yuan in danger, wouldn’t we?" Nie Xiaoxing replied coldly.
"No, Xiao Yan will definitely assign more people to protect us. After all, even if he’s not devoted to us, he wouldn’t let Da He be threatened in the slightest.
I’ve realized during this period, Xiao Yan is a filial child, his relationship with Da He is good..."
"Not devoted?"
Nie Xiaoxing’s eyes were angrily cold, baffled as she looked at Fu Ruyi, "How could you say something like that? How devoted does Gu Yan need to be? Should he put you on a pedestal?"
Fu Ruyi was stunned seeing Nie Xiaoxing really angry.
Because she hadn’t seen her truly angry in a long time.
She had cloaked herself from head to toe, inside and out, with layers of disguise.
Sometimes she smiled, but it wasn’t a true smile.
Sometimes she appeared cold, but it was hard to tell if she was angry or just inherently that way.
But this time was different.
Fu Ruyi truly felt Nie Xiaoxing’s anger.
"How Aunt Yuan treats you, you know well! Just talking about that previous apartment, did you really believe you could rent it for fifteen hundred? The apartment belongs to Aunt Yuan and Gu Yan, you actually know this, right?" Nie Xiaoxing said with a taut face, gritting her teeth.
"..."
Nie Xiaoxing sneered, "You clearly know, but you pretend not to. You can pretend not to know, but I can’t! So, if you’re thinking of moving into Aunt Yuan’s villa, I advise you to give up early. Because I won’t let Aunt Yuan be put in danger too!"
After a pause, Nie Xiaoxing said, "That’s what makes me human, the basic conscience I should have!"
