Chapter 696 Plan failed
After Xue'er joked for a while, she got down to business. She took Liu's mother's arm and said, "Mom, I know you've suffered a lot for me over the years. If there's a man who can truly love and care for you, I don't object, but you have to..."
"Wait, stop it, kid, what nonsense are you talking about? I, your mother, am so old, how could I have the mind to do that? Alas! My life! Can be considered as hanging on that crooked tree of your father." Mother Liu sighed and said.
Xue'er's heart skipped a beat after hearing what her mother said, and she asked carefully, "Mom, you're not missing him, are you?"
Mother Liu avoided her gaze and said, "I can't say that I miss him, but since we are husband and wife, I can't help but worry about him. I wonder if he is well fed and clothed now?"
"Mom, have you forgotten the harm she brought to us?" Xue'er asked heartbrokenly.
"Remember, if he wasn't addicted to gambling, you wouldn't have dropped out of school so early. If he didn't owe a lot of foreign debts, we wouldn't have had to live in hiding for so many years. But he is still your father after all!" said Liu's mother.
"But he almost killed us mother and me!" Xueer said excitedly.
"Killed us mother and me? When did it happen? Why don't I have any recollection of it at all?" Liu's mother asked puzzledly.
Xue'er was so excited just now that she told her mother something she had forgotten. Fortunately, he was only vague about it.
"Forget it. She made us bear so much debt for him. It was like taking our lives. So I can't possibly forgive him." Xue'er interrupted. She didn't dare to tell the truth directly. Her mother just couldn't accept that her beloved husband was willing to destroy their daughter in order to pay off the debt. In the end, she committed suicide by taking medicine due to depression.
"Child, it's been so long since those things happened, and he has been punished now. You shouldn't hold it against him anymore." Mother Liu advised Xue'er.
"Mom, he and I are on our own terms now, and we don't interfere with each other, so there's no point in arguing about anything," Xue'er said.
"Why are you so stubborn, girl? Your father is already in his sixties, and he lives a life of poverty and doesn't even have a decent place to live. It's really pitiful." Mother Liu said with emotion.
"Mom, how do you know? Have you seen him?" Xueer said.
When Liu's mother realized that she had let the cat out of the bag, she neither tried to argue nor admitted it.
Bai Chen had been observing Liu's mother from the side. Now he was sure that his mother-in-law had definitely met that man. Perhaps the 500,000 yuan she wanted was also for that man!
Xue'er was also very confused. What happened to her mother today? Why did she always speak for that person? She didn't want to hurt the harmony between mother and daughter because of that person, so she said, "Mom, let him do whatever he wants. Let's not talk about him. By the way, Mom, I heard from the dean that you have been going out to meet friends recently. What kind of friends are so important? It happens that Chen and I are here today. Can you take us to meet them?"
"Yes, Mom." Bai Chen also echoed.
"What's so good about it? He's an old man already, and he can't get along with you young people." Liu's mother quickly made excuses. In fact, she also wanted Xue'er and her father to reconcile, but her daughter was so repulsive to her father now, and she was a little worried that the two would become even more awkward when they met.
After hearing what Liu's mother said, Xue'er and Bai Chen didn't ask any more questions. They accompanied Liu's mother for lunch and then left. Liu's mother had been restless for the whole day, but she still had to put on a smile while accompanying her daughter and son-in-law.
Xue'er and Bai Chen came to the nursing home by themselves. Xue'er asked, "Chen, do you think the person my mother always goes out to see is my scumbag father?"
"Well, my baby is really smart. It must be him, otherwise my mother-in-law wouldn't know him so well." Bai Chen said.
"This guy is so bad. He came to me to ask for money but failed, and now he goes to cheat my mom. He is really a dog that can't change its bad habits!
"But he didn't cheat you. Didn't you not give him the 500,000?" Bai Chen said with a smile.
"Yes, by the way, husband, you said that he failed to deceive my mother. I really don't know if he will say bad things to my mother." Xueer asked worriedly.
"It'll be fine as long as our mom doesn't go out by herself." Bai Chen said.
"Well, I hope he stops staring at us..." Xue'er said.
On the other side, Liu Dasheng was wandering back and forth in the shabby rental house. He really didn't even have money to eat, and he was eager to cash in quickly.
However, after waiting for most of the day, there was still no news from Liu's mother. At this time, he was sure that something must have happened to Liu's mother. He had to think of another way to get the money...
