Father He's explosive shout shattered Mother He's resistance. Trembling, she took out a stack of brand-new banknotes from the cabinet.
A smug smile finally appeared on He Jing's face at the sight of the money. With a trembling hand, Mother He slowly extended the stack toward her daughter.
Just as the money was about to reach He Jing's grasp—
THUMP!
The door was forcefully pushed open.
He Xiao snatched the money from Mother He's hand and roared, "He Jing! You're completely heartless! This is Dad's life-saving money! How can you have the face to demand it?"
"Bullshit! Mom and Dad are giving it to me willingly! It's none of your damn business!" Seeing her prize snatched away, He Jing flew into a rage. She lunged directly at He Xiao, trying to grab the money from her hands.
SLAP!
A crisp sound echoed through the room as it fell deathly silent. He Jing held her reddening left cheek, her eyes wide with disbelief. "He Xiao! You dare to hit me?"
