My mom called me more than twenty times. But this time I made up my mind not to answer the phone.
When the phone finally stopped ringing, I thought my mother had really given up.
But I was wrong. Before I could rest assured, I had received a text message, crushing all my
persistence.
"You bad girl! How dare you not answer my phone? Do you think you can look down on me just
because you are a star? I tell you, it's not that easy to get rid of me. I'm at the gate of the Luo family
now, and you'd better come out to see me right now. Otherwise, I'll go talk to the old witch of the Luo
family and tell her what happened between you and Robbie. Don't forget to bring 100, 000 as hush
money."
If it was someone else, I would probably consider whether she would do it or not.
But this woman was exactly my mother. In order to get money, she would do anything.
I never doubt my mother and she have always kept her words in the face of money.
"I tell you. Don't fool with it."
I simply sent a few words, then quickly put on a coat and went out.
Before I left, I looked at the ten thousand Rosie gave me. I was a little sad because I wanted to give it
back to Robbie, but I had to carried it with me"
"Don't make me wait too long."
When I arrived at the gate of the Luo family, my mother was really sitting under a big tree nearby to
enjoy the cool air.
She saw me first and waved to me from afar. "Here, I'm here."
I saw that my mother hasn't washed her hair for several days, and she still hasn't changed her clothes.
I can't change anything but get angry with her.
"What took you so long? Where did you go? Why didn't you come out from the Luo family's house? "
My mom looked at me with a grin and bumped against me with her shoulder. "My dear daughter, have
you become a star? I saw a lot of your photos on the street today, but I didn't recognize them at first.
They are pretty. "
My mother looked at me with a sideways smile, "How much money does a star have? Do you have a
lot of money? Give some to me. "
"Mom, I have two things to tell you today. The first one is that I'm just helping, not a star, and you don't
have to count on that."
My mom snorted and rolled her eyes. "Ok, you are not. Look at you, you don't deserve it. You call
yourself an angel? You are so funny. If they know who you are and you are not the kind of angel they
think, in my opinion, you are just like a pig living in a slum. Now it's just a pig ring with four iron fences.
"
I really didn't want to see my mother's distorted face, so I looked away. "Second, I'm not the daughter-
in-law of the Luo family anymore. I've been driven out of the Luo family for many days. Even if you go
to jail now, nothing will happen. I'm just a woman who has been driven out. They won't give you a
penny. By then, in the character of the Luo family, they will only ask the police to arrest you for
harassing, and sue you for harassmentGuilty. "
"No, it's not like that..." My mother pushed me with her hand, "What did you say? Are you not the
daughter-in-law of the Luo family anymore? Why did they kick you out? Why? Why? "
I bit my lips and took a deep breath. I looked at my mother and said, "since Mrs. Nancy knew that I had
sex with Robbie and she couldn't accept it, she kicked me out. So you'd better not threaten me with this
kind of thing or even blackmail Robbie, because it is not a secret in the Luo family. If you want to get
the money but still want to humiliate yourself, then you should go."
I pointed at the door of the Luo family and pretended not to care about whether she would go.
My mother didn't move.
"In that case, did they give you any compensation? You know, as Rogelio's wife, whether being driven
out or divorced, it doesn't matter. Anyway, you can get his property,"
"When I married him, I signed a contract. I left Rogelio and I wouldn't ask him for any property."
My mom was anxious, "then, they should at least give you some spiritual compensation."
"They didn't give me a penny."
My mother raised her arm to hit me after a short hesitation.
"How could I have such a heartless and stupid daughter like you? Why not ask them for money if they
don't give you? You could kill yourself. You could cut your wrists. How could you let go of the powerful
Luo family? Even if you let it go, you still need to get enough money. Don't you have a little bit of
consideration? "
My mom got tired from the slap. She sat on the floor and cried as she patted her thigh, "what are you
doing? You want to kill me? I have just been rich for a few days, and now you are making me back to
what I used to be. How am I going to live now? "
Looking down at my mother who was playing the breeze on the ground, I said, "I am here today to tell
you that you'd better not come to me ever again. I don't know how to live and I have no money to give
you."
When I was about to turn around and leave, my mother jumped up from the ground all of a sudden.
She grabbed my hair and dragged me towards the Luo family. "I don't care what you are going to do.
Now go to ask for money."
I reluctantly turned my head and looked at my mother with red eyes. "Even if you kill me, I won't go.
You don't think the Luo family can do nothing with a scoundrel like you, do you?"
My mom clenched her teeth and stared at me, but her hand was taken away.
"Very well, very well. You are just like your father."
"Right. Seeing you like this, I think my father is right. He should leave, as far away as possible, so as to
avoid facing a woman like you. In the past, I blamed him to leave me alone, but now I have grown up. I
don't blame him at all. I also think leaving you is the most right decision and the most correct action for
him in his life."
"Pa!"
Since a heavy slap fell on my face, my face was extremely painful.
My mother gritted her teeth and stared at me. She used to hit me with great strength, but this time was
the most hard.
I took out ten thousand dollars from my pocket and threw it in front of my mother's feet. "That's all the
money I have with me. There's no more money in it. Take this money. From today on, we are different."
At that moment, I made up my mind to leave. I thought I could get rid of my mother as long as I showed
no mercy to her.
"Jasmine,"
My mother suddenly called me in a soft voice.
For all these years, she had never called me so kindly.
I tried my best not to look back, but my mother still said to me gently, "I know, over the years, I made
you feel wronged. The girl of the same age should have, I failed to give it to you. It's my fault."
