Chapter 2051: Chapter 2052: Old Mrs. Zhang’s Rebirth at 70—Reforming the Ungrateful Children (83)

Zhang Yu looked at the agreement in her hand and laughed joyfully. Finally, she was free from this leech, and the couple’s messed-up affairs would have nothing to do with her family anymore.

She was also looking forward to seeing how Wei Xuan planned to proceed without any support from her maternal family.

Wei Xuan didn’t even know how she returned to her desk; she still felt dizzy.

Clearly, Gao Zhen had misappropriated her money, and in her unhappiness, she thought of asking her family to step in and teach him a lesson.

Who could have guessed that the situation would turn out like this in the end? She really no longer needed to worry about any of her family’s affairs; whatever happens at her family’s home in the future would be completely unrelated to her.

Yet, upon looking at the freshly made disownment letter in her hand, Wei Xuan’s heart felt truly uncomfortable.

"Mom and Dad, I, I..." Wei Xuan had just wanted to say that no matter what Zhang Yu thought, she still considered them her parents.

Zhang Yu, of course, knew what she was thinking, "Stop right there, Wei Xuan, don’t even say that no matter what, you consider us as parents."

"You really shouldn’t utter those words. Really, it would make me feel very disgusted."

"I gave birth to you, don’t think I don’t know what’s going on in your mind." Zhang Yu looked at Wei Xuan with a face full of disdain.

Wei Xuan froze, her eyes immediately turned red, and she looked at Zhang Yu pitifully.

Colleagues glanced at Zhang Yu in confusion, and then at Wei Xuan, quickly coming to the conclusion that Zhang Yu must be causing trouble; otherwise, how could Wei Xuan look so miserable?

Seeing this, how could Zhang Yu not understand that this person was deliberately here to make trouble?

Knowing full well that she was not someone easy to deal with, yet still wanting her to shoulder everything? Unfortunately, she wasn’t even her biological mother anymore, and even if she were, she wouldn’t want to tolerate it.

"Wei Xuan, there’s really no need to act so pitifully, trying to make your colleagues think I’m too harsh or bullying."

"When you were first married, any issue with the Gao Family, you’d run back to your family, letting your father take charge, spending money and putting in effort, and yet all for nothing — did you ever explain even a little of this?"

"Whenever your father or I had a headache or sniffle, did you, as our daughter, ever take care of us even a little? You would merely say you were a married daughter, shouldn’t bother with such matters, because you had to look after the Gao Family elders since you were their daughter-in-law."

"Have you forgotten all the things you said yesterday about how I favored sons over daughters?" Zhang Yu, unceremoniously, repeated all those grievances Wei Xuan had uttered yesterday.

Everyone was dumbfounded; initially, they thought Zhang Yu was bullying, but upon hearing this, they realized perhaps they had misjudged. Yet, they still wanted to hear what Wei Xuan had to say.

Wei Xuan was stunned; she never expected Zhang Yu to expose everything directly. Originally, she thought as long as she didn’t speak ill of Zhang Yu, it shouldn’t anger her.

But unexpectedly, she still offended Zhang Yu, having all the secrets exposed.

At this moment, Wei Xuan truly fantasized about eliminating Zhang Yu; never before had she seen a parent like this. "Mom, how could you..?"

Zhang Yu interrupted her immediately, "Am I not speaking the truth?"

"I, I..." Wei Xuan certainly didn’t want to admit, tried denying, but without even looking back, she knew the gaze from many colleagues was filled with disdain.

"Think carefully about it; I would dare swear that when I grow old, nobody will take care of me. You can swear that you’ll never have money in your lifetime." Zhang Yu interrupted Wei Xuan once more.

Wei Xuan was still pondering how to respond; by watching Zhang Yu’s expression, she knew some things could never return to the past, that being the case, might as well focus on herself; yet then Zhang Yu uttered such words.

Wei Xuan fell silent, not daring to refute her own self.

Everyone waited for a long time, not seeing Wei Xuan defend herself even a bit, and realized they understood the truth of the situation.

Eyes turned toward Wei Xuan filled with contempt; everyone was aware of Zhang Yu’s kindness towards her — they never expected Wei Xuan felt parents favored sons, shirked caring for them; now they understood why Zhang Yu was so agitated, choosing to sever ties with Wei Xuan.

"Wei Xuan, I really didn’t see you as this type of person." A colleague who never got along with Wei Xuan shouted, "You’re married to the Gao Family, that’s true, but you’re also a daughter of the Wei Family. Your parents treated you so well, yet you didn’t want to look after them."

Several other colleagues nodded, criticizing Wei Xuan’s behavior.

Listening to colleagues voicing their opinions, Wei Xuan felt deeply disagreeable but couldn’t speak up.

"I don’t mind whether Wei Xuan cares for others; even if she says, ’Mom, she married Gao Zhen, henceforth she’s the Gao Family’s daughter-in-law. She wants to look after her in-laws; our elderly couple simply won’t receive her care. Usually, treat us like distant relatives, visit us during holidays, maybe hand over some New Year money.’"

"All of this would be fine."

"But she can’t demand equal treatment with her brother and then turn around saying she’s a married daughter, shouldn’t care about her own parents."

"People, cannot be too greedy or too excessive; hence, there’s no choice but to sever ties," Zhang Yu paused, "Everyone, from now on if anything happens to Wei Xuan, please notify Gao Zhen or notify the Gao Family."

"In short, do not notify me; our elderly couple has no daughter." Zhang Yu glanced at the silent Wei Xuan.

Feeling embarrassed already? Zhang Yu grinned, presuming that this was just the beginning, there would be more suffering for someone in the future.

"By the way, Wei Xuan, let me give you one final warning. I know you hate me to death now for saying things I shouldn’t have. You must feel very humiliated working here."

"You absolutely must not think of quitting your job here or anything like that. Think about your Gao Zhen, think about the Gao Family."

"Yesterday, remember you came back saying Gao Zhen withdrew all the money you had painstakingly saved to pay for his mother’s medical treatment. If you don’t have a job, you won’t have money, leaving you to operate at the whims of others."

"Wei Xuan, consider well." Zhang Yu knew Wei Xuan wasn’t foolish, just cared too much about saving face, perhaps a bit impulsive.

If this girl quit impulsively, Gao Zhen only coaxed her because she had a job and a salary, having a "sucker" to offer monetary support.

With no financial support, and if she lost her job too, would Gao Zhen still treat her well?

If the girl couldn’t withstand the immense pressure, making an irreparable mistake, once again, it would be considered her sin.

Zhang Yu was convinced that in such a moment, public opinion would be against her, claiming she had driven the girl away.

More importantly, after trouble brews between Wei Xuan and her husband, the Gao Family would definitely not take care of Gao Xin and Gao Kai; it would become her responsibility again.

She absolutely didn’t want to spend money raising two children who held hostility towards her, better to let Wei Xuan live well.
