Chapter 434: Chapter 179: I’m Done Serving You from Today On

Every time I start to get a bit impatient, my mom suddenly remembers she has a daughter, softening her voice, hoping to trick me into handing over money with this pity act.

Fan Qiyun let out a cold laugh, “Mom, I told you, I have no money. I’m just an associate chief doctor, only taking home about ten to twenty thousand a month. With two mortgages and giving you money every month for living expenses, what’s left is just barely enough for myself. Do you really think I still have any extra money?

It’s not that I don’t want to help, I just really can’t. Buying a house for a wedding isn’t just one or two thousand, I might borrow for that much. But hundreds of thousands, who would lend me that kind of money?

Tell me, mom, who would lend it to me?

Even if I had all the ability in the world, I still couldn’t come up with that much money!

Also, I’m laying it all out today; don’t come to me about your son anymore. I have no money, and even if I did, I wouldn’t give a single penny. Besides, I know you both have money. Over the years, you’ve saved all the money I’ve given you, refusing to use it, always trying to squeeze more out of me.

Frankly, the money I have on hand isn’t even a fraction of your savings. As an associate chief doctor, this is how far I’ve come. If people heard, would you believe not a single person would buy it?

As an associate chief doctor, having only a few thousand in savings, I’m sure you wouldn’t believe it. In your eyes, I’m just a money-printing machine, not just a hundred thousand, billions should be easy to cough up.

I’m not complaining by saying this, I’m just giving you a heads-up.”

“You don’t need to contribute the bride price, but you have a house, don’t you? Why don’t you just give the house you’re living in now for your brother’s marriage?”

One sentence left Fan Qiyun dumbfounded. Is this something a mother could say?

Favoring sons over daughters, does it have to be this harsh?

Is this still a person?

Fan Qiyun suspected the person she was speaking to wasn’t human. How could a flesh-and-blood person say something so cold?

Give my house for her son, and where would I live?

Fan Qiyun never thought of herself as someone who complains about the unfairness of life, but at this moment, she truly lost hope in her parents.

“I’ve been a doctor for almost ten years. I have just a car worth less than a hundred thousand and one property under my name, and not even any savings. Yet, you want me to give my property to your son. How can you even say that?”

Fan Qiyun questioned.

“Fan Qiyun…”

“I’m tired, I don’t want to talk to you. Your son needs to get married and buy a house, but don’t come to me. I have no money, and I’m not giving up my house either.”

“Don’t push me. If you do, I’ll just quit my job and give up the house, and then you’ll have to pay that mortgage yourself.”

“You… Fan Qiyun, you ungrateful daughter, how did I end up with such a thankless wretch like you!”

“Then just consider you’ve raised a thankless wretch.”

Fan Qiyun couldn’t be bothered to say more. No matter how much she said, her mom would never feel sorry for her even once. When she did relent, it was just to trick her, hoping to get enough benefits from her.

In the past, even seeing through it, she didn’t say anything, willingly playing the one being tricked.

Today, Fan Qiyun realized that only she felt sorry for herself. Her family would not treat her as part of the family. To them, she was just a money-printing machine at their disposal.

Once the money-printing machine stops producing money, it would be ruthlessly discarded, even criticized with all kinds of vicious words.

“Thankless wretch?”

“Maybe being a thankless wretch is easier.”

Fan Qiyun laughed at herself.

She tossed the phone with barely any charge to the side. She, who had no money, only felt like the boulder on her chest was gone. She had a dream, one with mountains and water, living carefree and alone, enjoying laughter and joy amidst nature.

Meeting a stranger who greeted her with a kind smile.

She felt like this was the life she yearned for.

She didn’t know how long she slept, but when Fan Qiyun opened her eyes, the outside was already darkening, the scorching sun’s glow fading, but still emitting the evening’s warmth.

Fan Qiyun rubbed her eyes, picked up her phone, and only then noticed it had shut down.

She connected her phone to charge, went outside to pour herself a glass of plain water, to soothe her throat. A glance at the clock on the wall revealed it was already five in the afternoon, suggesting she’d slept for six to seven hours.

“This might have been the most restful sleep I’ve ever had.”

Fan Qiyun laughed.

She returned to the room, turned on her charging phone, and saw numerous missed calls, mainly from her parents.

Seeing these missed calls, Fan Qiyun felt frustrated and chose to ignore them.

However, just as she was about to call her boss about things in the department, a call came in suddenly—it was from her brother.

Fan Qiyun chose to hang up directly.

But shortly after, the call came again.

After rejecting the call several times, it persisted relentlessly, leaving her no choice but to answer. Once connected, a voice filled with indignation came through: “Sister, what did you do that made mom so mad? All she did was ask for some money, but if you don’t give it, fine, how could you say those sarcastic words? No wonder mom and dad say they raised a thankless wretch.”

“Who’s actually saying sarcastic words, don’t you already know?”

Fan Qiyun laughed coldly, “Do I need to say what you’re like? If we’re talking about thankless wretches, you’re more suited to the term. How much money have you taken from me over the years? I won’t even mention the car, but last year when you owed over a hundred thousand from gambling, I covered it. I didn’t tell our parents, yet you all think I’m an ATM, don’t you?

And you have the nerve to call me?

And my parents too, do I, Fan Qiyun, owe you?

Let me tell you, I don’t owe anyone. From now on, do not involve me in your nonsense. I’m done serving you. You want a house, earn it yourself. The dowry, our parents have savings. You always want to take a bit more from me, thinking I’m easy to bully?”

“Fan Qiyun, you’re speaking way too harshly.”

Fan Qi said with an ugly look on his face, “Mom and dad raised you all these years, what’s wrong with giving some money?”

“They raised you all these years too, why don’t you give some money?”

Fan Qiyun countered directly, “So what if you don’t give? You’re always freeloading, you’ve been graduated for years, yet you’re still unemployed. I even question if the girl you’re seeing is blind to be interested in you.”

“Fan Qiyun, you’re going too far.” Fan Qi’s tone turned serious.

Fan Qiyun’s tone sank, “Who’s actually going too far? You know the answer yourself. Do me a favor, don’t call me anymore, and don’t talk to me about money. If you keep asking for money, we’re done.”

“I can’t believe you’re such a cold-blooded person.”

Fan Qi’s words made Fan Qiyun feel like she had just heard the funniest joke in the world.

Cold-blooded?

If she’s cold-blooded?

Then is there anyone in this world who isn’t?

Over the years, working herself to the bone, she has nothing but a house still under mortgage and not even ten thousand in savings. Yet, she’s called cold-blooded.

Fan Qiyun has always loved her family, treading carefully in life, rarely refusing Fan Qi and their parents’ requests. Even though she sometimes resented it, she couldn’t bear to harm those she loved deeply.

But today, she finally realized.

The people she couldn’t bear to hurt could recklessly hurt her for money.

Without money, Fan Qiyun was nothing.

Without any use, she didn’t even qualify for their manipulative games.

That’s how realistic these people were.

Looking back at how Fan Qi acted when asking for money for a car, and his behavior now, Fan Qiyun truly found it ironic.

“You’re right, I’m just such a cold-blooded person.”

With that, she didn’t give Fan Qi any time to speak, hanging up directly.

Let them think whatever the hell they want, I’m done serving anyone from today.
