Chapter 1612. Our family doesn’t run a charity hall.
What was she afraid of?
By marrying into the Gu family, they became mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. No matter how badly they quarreled, it was the Gu family’s business, and no outsider would dare intervene.
If she dared to make trouble for her by taking advantage of her identity as the Gu family’s mistress, she could also make trouble for her by using her position as President Gu’s wife.
Moreover, this cunning vixen still had an ace up her sleeve—her unfilial son.
So, Xia Yumo was telling the truth: she had broken up with her son.
Xue Lan sighed slightly but still felt unhappy in her heart.
She felt like she had no right to be angry anymore.
"Just now, these two ladies reminded me: Has Gu Junhang warned you using your natal family? Well, let me also advise Mrs. Gu. Since I broke up with Gu Junhang, I have nothing to do with the Gu family. Mrs. Gu, please don’t let yourself be used by someone with malicious intentions and cause trouble for your natal family."
Although Xia Yumo’s tone was still flat, that line about "being used by someone with malicious intentions" obviously targeted Su’s mother and daughter.
It caused their faces to change slightly.
Xue Lan, on the other hand, regained some of her rationality amidst her anger after hearing Xia Yumo’s last words about "causing trouble for your natal family."
Angry at her son for using her brother’s situation as a warning against her, she couldn’t swallow her pride, which was why the sight of Xia Yumo ignited her rage.
But if Xia Yumo and her son were no longer related now, why would she quarrel with her over her brother’s company’s future?
Xue Lan, a woman with an eye for profit, was adept at analyzing interests and relationships.
It was precisely because she analyzed the interests involved that she firmly believed Xia Yumo hadn’t deceived her, and they had genuinely broken up.
But if they had broken up so thoroughly, why would her son still protect Xia Yumo so fiercely?
Xue Lan furrowed her eyebrows, realizing that her son couldn’t let go of that vixen, which was the real problem.
So, the initiative lay not with her son but with Xia Yumo.
Thinking of this, Xue Lan became furious once again.
She was already accustomed to acting superior in front of Xia Yumo, flaunting her sense of superiority. Now that Xia Yumo could only sit in a wheelchair, she felt even more superior.
Moreover, because of Xia Yumo, her son was inclined to distance himself from her repeatedly, even going so far as to warn her using her own brother.
At this moment, even though Xia Yumo had broken up with her son, as long as her son didn’t put Xia Yumo behind him in a day, she wouldn’t let her have a good day.
"Broke up? That would truly be a blessing for our Gu family."
Xue Lan crossed her arms in front of her and hooked up a corner of her lips into a sarcastic smile, saying:
"Since you are no longer my son’s fiancée, shouldn’t you pay us back for all the medical expenses my son paid for you this year?"
Xia Yumo was slightly stunned, but Xue Lan didn’t give her a chance to think, continuing:
"Although our Gu family is rich, we’re not running a charity. Your coma wasn’t for my son’s sake, so this debt shouldn’t fall on his head, right?"
As Xue Lan said this, a sense of satisfaction and relief surged in her heart.
Xia Yumo might have a law firm running, but the money she earned was nowhere near enough to cover her expenses for this year in the hospital.
Renowned domestic and foreign neurosurgeons, various sophisticated medical equipment, and the medicine the hospital used for her, all cost a fortune.
