CHAPTER 109: CHAPTER 109: YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD

Yu’s father frowned and looked at Xinyan, "But now the Lyu Family wants us to return the two hundred dollars of the bride price, and the family really can’t come up with it."

Xinyan replied, "So if I pay the two hundred dollars back to Lyu Juncheng, the agreement you made before about clearing our debts still holds, right?"

Yu’s father, unable to skirt the issue in front of so many people, nodded and said, "Yes, don’t blame us, you know the situation at home, we really have no choice."

Xinyan turned and went back into the house. Yu’s mother was about to step forward and stop her, but Yu’s father held her back.

Yu’s mother said unhappily, "Why are you stopping me? She’s the one who caused this, so naturally she should pay the money back, don’t pull us into this."

Xinyan had already prepared and shortly after came out from the house. "These two breakup letters, you should sign them."

She had barely finished speaking when Yu’s mother burst out cursing, "You heartless thing, what are you trying to do?"

Xinyan didn’t back down a bit and said, "You previously announced in front of the whole village that once I married into the Lyu Family, it would be considered paying you back for raising me, and we would be settled."

Before Xinyan could finish, Yu’s mother shouted, "Once you’re married, you should live your life properly. Why on earth are you getting a divorce? Now that the Lyu Family wants us to pay back the two hundred dollars, where are we supposed to come up with it?"

Xinyan ignored her mother and looked at her father, "To put it bluntly, you didn’t come to support me, nor did you come to see me. You came for the two hundred dollars, didn’t you?"

Yu’s father’s face looked very unpleasant. Before he could reply, Xinyan raised the breakup letters in her hand, "I can pay back the two hundred dollars, but you have to sign these breakup letters."

Upon hearing that they just needed to sign and wouldn’t have to pay the two hundred dollars, Yu’s mother was overjoyed and nudged Yu’s father beside her, "Why are you still standing there?"

Yu’s father was a bit conflicted. He came along because he didn’t want to shoulder the two hundred dollar debt, but signing in front of so many people was embarrassing for him.

Xinyan didn’t want to drag it out any longer. If they knew the money had already been paid back, the breakup letters would certainly never be signed. She had to act quickly, since everyone at the factory knew about her and Lyu Juncheng.

But she had to take this opportunity to sever ties with the Yu Family, or else they would keep bothering her under the guise of parental gratitude. Some things had to be cut off in advance; don’t say she was heartless, she simply knew the nature of the Yu Family too well.

In her past life, when things weren’t going well, they would occasionally come to mooch off her. If things went well for her, they would probably come in droves; only severing ties would make them stop.

Yu’s father felt ashamed, "Xinyan, let’s talk inside, instead of making a scene for others to laugh at."

Xinyan meant to clear things up in front of everyone and wouldn’t budge, "No need, everything can be said clearly here. Besides, this is my employer’s house; I can’t just invite people in."

Yu’s father frowned at Xinyan, feeling that his foster daughter had changed a lot. Before he could figure it out, Yu’s mother urged him, "What are you waiting for?"

Afraid he wouldn’t put aside his pride, she whispered to him, "You know the situation at home best, don’t forget why we came here."

Before Yu’s father could respond, Yu’s mother snatched the breakup letters and pen from Xinyan and thrust them into her husband’s hands, "Don’t dawdle, sign it so we can quickly clarify things with the Lyu Family, save us from having to see their expressions."
