"What's wrong?" I asked my mother, my tone light. I really didn't want to talk to her, I still remember how she humiliated me last time.

"What's the matter with you?" I said, I thought about how she and Du Lirong had invested together, Du Lirong had lost quite a bit, I think she should have lost quite a bit too.

"I said your project was a fraud, but have you heard me speak?" "You didn't apologize to me for what happened last time."

"Did you say you wanted to find Cheng Ruojun again?" I said, "I advise you not to look for him. He has been very busy recently and will probably scold you."

My mother stopped talking on the other end of the phone. I knew how angry she was now, but I was happy.

"... Xiao Rou, your mother really doesn't have any money left. " "I'm sorry," my mother finally said after a long silence. Her tone was completely different from before, and I knew she was telling the truth now.

I took a deep breath. I knew she was only apologizing to me because I was asking her to, only because she was desperate, and she wasn't sorry for me, just as she had been before. But I was touched.

Lacking love from a young age really makes me very passive. I thought bitterly.

"Alright." I said, "I'll give you some money first. You guys can take it to live, and then I won't have any more money."

"Alright, alright." My mother hurriedly replied, "Then Mom will hang up first."

"Alright."

I put down the phone and felt tears welling up in my eyes. I hated my mother for talking to me like this. Why did she always have such a bad attitude when talking to me?

I wiped my eyes and transferred some money to her on my cell phone, then went back to watching TV.

I ate with Tao Man and Du Lirong every day. Even though the two of us hated each other, we would nod our heads and greet each other when we met at home. Right now, our family's situation might even be better than a primetime TV show.

We had all thought that Tao Man would stay here and nurture her baby until she gave birth to her child. Only after we were certain that we wouldn't lose anything did she declare war on me.

At dinner time, when everyone was tasting a seafood dish that had just been delivered by air, the Cheng family's doorbell rang.

I was shocked, my finger was almost cut by the prawn. Cheng Ruojun immediately noticed my abnormality and said to the servant, "Peel the prawn and bring it here."

I quickly shook my head. This was my fault, not Shrimp's.

Xia Ze also raised his head and looked at me with concern. If we could speak with our eyes, we probably would have talked a lot.

Actually, I was always worried that after we moved back, there would be a gap between us due to Xia Ze and I not being able to speak to each other in the same intimate manner as before, and even stopped maintaining this relationship. But no, I still loved him, and from the way he looked at me, he also always loved me.

Sister Zheng walked in quickly. Her expression was very interesting as she said, "Miss Tao's parents are here."

"What?" Tao Man immediately shouted out, "My parents are here!" She immediately put down the things in her hands and rushed out. She acted very pleasantly surprised, as if she didn't know about this. However, I felt that her acting skills were a bit fake.

Tao Man went out, leaving us at the dining table.

We looked at each other, and we didn't know what to say. In the end, it was still Cheng Ruixuan who spoke, he glared at Cheng Ruojun and said, "This is a matter that you brought about, go and settle it yourself."

Cheng Ruojun glanced at Cheng Ruixuan and then left. As his wife, I have to leave as well.

"Then I'll go and take a look as well." Du Lirong said as she glanced at Cheng Ruixuan's expression. Although Cheng Ruixuan was very important and needed to be fawned over, right now, the most important thing in Du Lirong's heart should be Tao Man's child.

I jogged a few steps and followed Cheng Ruojun's footsteps. After Cheng Ruojun walked out of the restaurant with quick steps, he also slowed down his footsteps as if he was waiting for me. He seemed to be more and more human, but my heart was no longer able to move for him.

Cheng Ruojun, you will regret missing me in the future.

We arrived at the great hall and found Tao Man hugging her parents. Tao Man was both crying and laughing at the same time.

"Where did you run off to? Mom and Dad have been looking for you for a long time. " Tao Man's mother cried as she said, "You stupid girl, you didn't even tell us where you went."

"I'm sorry, Mom and Dad." Tao Man let go of her parents, then kneeled down, "I'm wrong, I'm pregnant with Cheng Ruojun's child now, just let me be born."

The hall was quiet, only Tao Man's sobbing could be heard.

"Pah!" I saw Tao Man's mother fiercely slap Tao Man.
