Chapter 95: How much does 095 cost to leave her_1Yao Meishu stood in front of the shop, watching the man who rested his crossed legs on the table and had a newspaper in his hand, her face cold.

    Her expression was frosty.

    "Name your price to leave my daughter alone."

    Yao Meishu took out a stack of red banknotes from her bag and tossed them on the table.

    The man in front of her was elegant and handsome, but however you put it, he was still a penniless poor boy with no status.

    "Auntie, your script seems off today."

    Xu Boyan glanced at the woman, dressed like a queen, and smirked.

    He held a newspaper in his hand, emitting a cold aura.

    "You think you’re worthy of my daughter?"

    Yao Meishu retorted, fixing her gaze on Xu Boyan, as if trying to see through him.

    She held her bag tightly, her eyebrows furrowed, her face reflecting her impatience.

    "What does auntie think?"

    Xu Boyan chuckled, setting down the newspaper and drumming his fingers lightly on the table.

    "Leave her." Yao Meishu said with a furrowed brow.

    "Auntie doesn’t get to decide."

    Xu Boyan raised an eyebrow slightly, casting a cold smirk at Yao Meishu.

    What right does a mother, who treats her own daughter like a stranger, have to meddle in her affairs?

    Yao Meishu overestimated herself. Why would Lu Qingyi listen to her?

    Wishful thinking.

    "Mom, what are you doing?"

    Lu Jiahao, panting heavily, ran over. He glanced at the two confrontational figures and tugged at Yao Meishu’s sleeve.

    He heard from the driver early in the morning that Yao Meishu had left the house and come to the school. He immediately thought of Lu Qingyi and headed to the school as well.

    Lately, he had been busy studying and rarely visited Lu Qingyi. Communication was mostly limited to messages on WeChat.

    "You never tell me school matters. If not for your sister informing me, I would have remained in ignorance."

    Yao Meishu was a little bitter seeing Lu Jiahao’s sudden appearance. She said with a frown.

    Lu Jiahao bit his lower lip, a crease forming between his eyebrows.

    So it really was Lu Jiayue.

    In Yao Meishu’s mind, only Lu Jiayue deserved to be affectionately regarded as Lu Jiahao’s sister, while Lu Qingyi meant nothing.

    "Mom, you’ve never cared about sister since she was born. Now, what right do you have to interfere in her business?"

    Lu Jiahao looked at Yao Meishu as he spoke, his voice chilling.

    Although he would prefer it if his sister didn’t start dating so early and be lead astray by some random man, he could see that Xu Boyan truly cared for Lu Qingyi.

    Xu Boyan, a normally cold person, could actually be tender to Lu Qingyi. Based on male intuition alone, Lu Jiahao could tell that Xu Boyan was good to Lu Qingyi.

    Finding the right person isn’t easy.

    Since Lu Qingyi managed to find him, she was fortunate.

    "Go to class."

    Yao Meishu impatiently looked at Lu Jiahao, not liking what he was saying one bit.

    "Mom, just because I didn’t say something before doesn’t mean I don’t want to say it."

    Lu Jiahao was not afraid of Yao Meishu at all.

    "Why is there such a huge difference in how you treat your own children? I believe sister yearned for parental love just as I did growing up, but you never gave her any. Now that she’s grown up, you don’t care about her at all. So, what right do you have to meddle in her love life?"

    Lu Jiahao was a bit angered, letting all the pent-up words in his heart spill out at once.

    It was really quite absurd.

    He really pitied Lu Qingyi.

    He didn’t understand why Yao Meishu and Lu Yao showed favoritism. As daughters, why was there such a stark difference in how they treated Lu Jiayue and Lu Qingyi?

    If they favored Lu Jiayue because she was more outstanding, he could accept that.

    However, the truth was, Lu Qingyi was even more outstanding than Lu Jiayue. She always did her best.

    Previously, you could say Yao Meishu didn’t recognize Lu Qingyi’s brilliance.

    But now? Lu Qingyi performed better than Lu Jiayue in her exams, yet Yao Meishu rewarded and praised Lu Jiayue, while Lu Qingyi received nothing.

    Lu Qingyi achieved great results in June, but Yao Meishu didn’t show any joy.

    "Slap!"

    A crisp sound echoed. Yao Meishu struck Lu Jiahao across the face.

    "Go back to your class."

    Her voice was furious and indignant.

    Lu Jiahao covered his face, shock written all over it as he looked at Yao Meishu.

    Yao Meishu had always been unwilling to hit him and had never spoken harshly to him. Yet today, she had not only spoken harshly but had also hit him.

    Was it because he’d said what he had?

    "I’ll always stand by sister."

    Lu Jiahao bit his lip and spoke coldly before turning away and leaving.

    If they didn’t care about Lu Qingyi, then he would step in and care for her, being her sole family.

    Lu Qingyi was his sister, and he should protect her.

    "Ms. Yao seems pretty furious."

    Xu Boyan, who had remained silent since Lu Jiahao’s arrival, finally spoke, coldly watching Yao Meishu.

    Seeing her act like this, he felt an overwhelming sense of sympathy for the girl.

    "Let me put it another way. How much do you want to stay out of her life?"

    Seeing Yao Meishu’s silence, Xu Boyan tapped the table lightly in a distracted manner, a smirk tugging at his lips.

    Money was never a problem for him if it could solve said problem.

    Did he truly look like someone in dire need of money?

    If Yao Meishu could throw money at him to keep him away from Lu Qingyi, why couldn’t he do the same to keep Yao Meishu out of Lu Qingyi’s sight?

    "I am her mother," Yao Meishu said with a frown. "Do you have money?" S~ea??h the N??eFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Her gaze held a hint of contempt as she looked at Xu Boyan.

    Dressed decently, acting like some rich young master and nothing more than a small shop owner.

    Good appearances didn’t put food on the table.

    "She never accepted me as her mother. My money is enough to raise and spoil her."

    Xu Boyan stood up, gently brushing dust off his pants. A smirk played on his lips, his eyes full of ridicule towards Yao Meishu.

    He scoffed. A mother?

    Would Lu Qingyi really care for a mother like this?

    Mone?

    If he was the second richest, then who would dare to claim the first spot?

    Yao Meishu slapped the table and glared at Xu Boyan. "Who gave you permission to call her that?"

    She unconsciously rubbed her arm. Despite the summer heat, she felt a chill run down her spine.

    Little friend?

    That was their affectionate nickname. Xu Boyan had no right to use it.

    Xu Boyan chuckled lightly. "Naturally, it was Yiyi who gave me permission."

    "It’s almost time. She’ll come for breakfast soon."

    Xu Boyan glanced at his wristwatch. A faint smile crossed his face.

    She was always punctual, entering the shop every day at precisely 6:40 AM, neither a minute early nor a minute late as if she had calculated it meticulously.

    "I will make her leave you."

    Yao Meishu spoke with certainty, biting her lip as she looked at Xu Boyan impatiently.
