"It doesn't matter, nor does it make a difference to me, whether you're dead or alive. You're not important enough to anger me…"
Just as Fu Huai'an finished speaking, Lu Jinnan hauled a plump and stout middle-aged woman into the room and threw her onto the floor!
Lu Qili's mother looked unkempt with messy hair and dirty clothes. She gazed at Lu Jinnan in terror. When she saw Fu Huai'an, she started wailing and crawled towards him. "Huai'an… Fu Huai'an…"
Lu Jinnan stepped on her shoulders and stared at her from high above as if he was eyeing some garbage. Lu Qili could no longer tolerate it and sat upright. "Mom!"
Lu Qili glared at Lu Jinnan. "Lu Jinnan, what did you do to my mum!"
"I told you, Fu, one mustn't be too kind. You helped provide a university education for a piece of garbage, and now this piece of garbage wants to cling onto you. You gave this old woman a sum of money so that she wouldn't force that piece of garbage to work, and she mistakenly thinks that you treat that piece of garbage like a treasure and wants to blackmail you!" Lu Jinnan sneered. "Humans can be so sinister…"
Lu Qili's mother raised her head and looked at Fu Huai'an; her body was shaking in fear.
She thought that Fu Huai'an liked Lu Qili since he had aided her financially for her education. Even when she tried to force Lu Qili to work to support the family, Fu Huai'an had objected to it and given her allowances instead so she would stop exploiting Lu Qili.
Lu Qili's mother had always assumed that Lu Qili had managed to hook a wealthy guy, and she had been waiting for her to marry Fu Huai'an so that she could demand a sum of money… She hadn't expected Fu Huai'an to dump Lu Qili eventually!
"Fu Huai'an! Don't you have a conscience! Qili has been your woman, and you have slept with her for so many years, how could you just dump her? Even if you leave her, shouldn't you compensate her for her youth? Even prostitutes have to be paid…" Lu Qili's mother was terrified of Lu Jinnan; she didn't sound as arrogant as when she was at the Kaide Corporation and was wailing in distress.
Lu Qili's face turned ghastly pale. "That's enough, Mom! Shut up! I've never been in bed with Fu Huai'an, not ever!"
She knew that her mother was money-minded, but she hadn't expected her mother to compare her to a prostitute!
Her tears were flowing down her face. Lu Qili wished that she had been brave enough to cut herself deeper so she could have died right there and then. At least then, she wouldn't have had to witness her mother's shameless behavior now.
Lu Qili hadn't forgotten her embarrassment when she stripped naked in front of Fu Huai'an. He hadn't touched her at all!
Fu Huai'an smiled lightly with one hand in his pocket. "I don't sleep with just any woman, just like how I don't smoke just any type of cigarette!"
Lu Qili's mother turned and stared at Lu Qili in disbelief. "I don't believe this! If you didn't want to bed her, why would you provide for her university education! You're just putting on an act after the deed! My stand remains—even prostitutes have to be paid. You have to give her money as compensation for breaking up with her, otherwise, I'm going to create a scene at the Kaide Corporation!"
Lu Qili's mother was just about to straighten her body so she could act wildly, but Lu Jinnan quickly crushed her shoulders with his feet.
"Mom, please shut up! I'm your daughter, how could you compare me to some slutty prostitute!"
Fu Huai'an turned to look at Lu Qili and tapped his cigarette ashes onto the floor. "Prostitutes get paid for their work, there's nothing slutty about that! There is too much filth and grief in this world. Who would resort to flirting and selling their body to make a living unless they were forced to because of their circumstances?"
