"If sothing happens to your mother, you know I am the only family you have left in this world. I beg you..."
Feeling too annoyed to even power off his phone, Gu Shaocheng tossed it into a nearby lake to be out of sight and out of mind.
Hua Hua’s house was within this villa complex. Gu Shaocheng had purposely developed this villa complex near the Gu Family’s ho years ago, making residences for both his distant relatives and his siblings. The walk from here to his ho was neither short nor long - it took exactly half an hour. Preoccupied by his thoughts, he unintentionally found himself at the gate of his outer residence.
Suddenly, the door of a car parked not far from the gate flung open and a noble lady stepped out - it was Mrs. Xia, who had intended to catch him here.
Upon sighting Gu Shaocheng, Mrs. Xia hurriedly chased after him in her high heels, calling out, "Shaocheng, Shaocheng...".
Gu Shaocheng halted, recognized the figure, his expression darkened, and the very next second, he strode through the front gate.
Mrs. Xia saw him walking away quickly and ran after him, grabbing onto Gu Shaocheng’s arm. Gu Shaocheng shook his hand off: "Let go!".
"Shaocheng, your mother is truly in trouble. I was wrong to behave the way I did last ti. I apologize to you. Can you give your mother so money? I implore you, Shaocheng..."
"I said let go."
Mrs. Xia refused to let go and obstructed his path by hugging him around his waist shalessly, pleading continuously, "Just give a little, help your mother out. I promise not to bother you again. Rember when you were a child, how I had to struggle through hardships to raise you. Your father seldom visited us, you were so well behaved then, always clinging to...."
"Shut up!" How dare she shalessly bring up the past!
Without sparing her another glance, Gu Shaocheng strode away as fast as he could.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xia then broke down crying on the spot, screaming at the top of her lungs, ensuring that everyone heard her. She disregarded her elegant image as she wailed, "Everyone, look at this! A son hitting his own mother! The most heartless son in the world, renouncing his own mother and not providing for her anymore. This man is the head of the Gu Family. I’d rather die, what’s the point of living when my own son can’t stand . Maybe he’ll feel relieved if I’m dead...."
"SHIT!" Gu Shaocheng was at his wits’ end.
He spun around and confronted her, "Enough with the drama! When did I ever hit you?"
Mrs. Xia lunged at Gu Shaocheng’s legs, beating her head against them, "I can’t live like this anymore. You hate so much, why don’t you kick to death? That way nobody would know that you have a mother who’s suffering out here. Kick to death, please! Since I don’t have any money, I’m dood anyway!"
"How much money?"
"Twenty million."
Gu Shaocheng pulled out a card from his wallet and threw it in front of her, "Stop daydreaming. I’m not your ATM. The most you can overdraft is ten million. Take it or leave it, don’t co finding again! If you do, I’ll prepare a coffin for you instead! I’ll find a gravesite for you and fulfill my filial duties!"
