"Lu Ling, please leave my son."
The middle-aged woman sitting opposite her wore an arrogant expression, her tone sounding like a command.
Lu Ling’s actions were faster than her mouth and brain; in a flash, she reached her hand out toward the woman.
"Alright!"
She was familiar with this plot. Trying to insult her with five million, right?
No problem, she accepted. She would absolutely never go against money.
Although, Lu Ling didn't know what kind of mood she should be in right now.
This was hard to judge.
As the most talented disciple in the world of metaphysics, she had worked hard and cultivated for eighteen years, and was just about to unlock the max-level achievement.
Inexplicably, she transmigrated.
Well, eighteen years of hard work, all down the drain.
Fortunately, the new world was quite friendly to her, gifting her a five-million-dollar present right at the start.
Lu Ling was thinking about it happily when she saw the woman opposite her frown, "What are you reaching out to me for?"
Lu Ling was stunned for a moment.
Was it not a bank card?
She hurriedly took out her mobile phone: "Alipay or WeChat?"
"What did you say?" The middle-aged woman thought she had misheard.
Lu Ling: "Aren't you going to give me five million to make me leave your son?"
As soon as these words came out, the woman's complexion suddenly changed.
"Lu Ling, I didn't expect you to be such a person."
"My son has met someone better and doesn't love you anymore. Can't you just fulfill their wishes?"
"Asking me for money? Are you afraid you won't be able to pester my son?"
"Young person, I advise you to accumulate some virtue!"
Lu Ling was dumbfounded.
No, this plot is wrong, right?
Suddenly, a flood of memories that didn't belong to her surged into her mind.
After simply digesting these memories, Lu Ling’s fists tightened.
This woman, damn it, wanted to get a free ride.
When she spoke again, her tone was a few degrees colder, "I don't care about the break up fee. I'll just consider the year I spent taking care of you as me being blind, failing to see whether someone was a human or a dog."
"But, the money I lent you must be returned."
A year ago, this old woman had a serious car accident, suffered multiple fractures all over her body, and almost died.
It was the original body, that love brain, who gave up her career to personally take care of this 'future mother-in-law'.
After being discharged from the hospital, the old woman was paralyzed on the bed. The original body personally learned massage and pressed her every day, persisting for a whole year, which allowed her to stand up again.
If it weren't for the original body, this old woman would have been bedridden for the rest of her life, or even dead.
And now, the original body's career had been delayed, and she had become a Guoqi nǚxīng.
The old woman's son had become a top-tier celebrity and had a new love, and he couldn't wait to kick the original body away.
The old woman even found an excuse to call her over to force her to break up.
The original body couldn't catch her breath and was literally angered to death, which was when the core was replaced by Lu Ling.
The original body was a pushover, but Lu Ling was not.
Since she had come, she would seek justice for the original body.
The old woman became anxious upon hearing the words 'return the money'.
"Lu Ling, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't speak indiscriminately. When did I ever owe you money?"
Lu Ling had long expected the old woman to say this; she pulled up her mobile phone memo and started reading directly.
"On the 10th of this month, your cousin came, and you took her out for shopping and dining, borrowing thirty thousand from me."
"On the 5th of this month, you and your best friend went on a trip and borrowed eighty thousand from me."
"On the 20th of last month, your husband had someone come to the door to demand gambling debts, and I paid 500,000 on your behalf."
"On the 8th of last month..."
"Oh my!" The old woman yelled in anger: "Enough, enough, stop reading."
While speaking, she nervously glanced at the door.
"This money was all given to us by you willingly, why should I return it?"
"Given?" Lu Ling was amused, "That's not what you said at the time."
"Every time you asked me, you said it was a loan."
"I have the transfer records."
"I also have recordings. Do you want to listen to them?"
The old woman was furious: "Recordings?"
"You actually made recordings?"
"Lu Ling, has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"
Lu Ling curled her lips sarcastically, "Then you better spit it out quickly."
"You...!" The old woman was dumbfounded with rage.
This dead girl, how dare she talk to her like that?
Was she crazy?
Lu Ling: "The money you owe me adds up to 2.89 million. WeChat or Alipay?"
"Once the money is in hand, I'll leave immediately."
The old woman snorted coldly, leaned back on the sofa, and simply started acting like a rascal.
"It's impossible for me to return the money to you."
"You were dating my son, so those were just normal expenses during the relationship."
"Don't even think about getting it back."
Lu Ling was about to speak when she saw a man walk through the door.
It was that dog man, Gu Nianchen.
He looked at Lu Ling coldly, then looked at the old woman.
"Mom, how much money did Lu Ling give you? Return it to her."
Lu Ling hurriedly reminded him: "2.89 million."
A flash of surprise crossed Gu Nianchen's eyes, and he looked at his mother.
"Return it to her."
"Why should I return it?" The old woman displayed her shamelessness to the fullest, "I got it with my own ability."
"There's no reason to return it."
Gu Nianchen said in a deep voice: "Return it to her."
"I..." The old woman wanted to say something else, but seeing her son's terrible complexion, she sheepishly shut her mouth.
After a while, she looked at her son with a guilty conscience.
"I don't have the money to return to her."
"If you want to return it, you do it."
Gu Nianchen looked stunned, "You don't have money?"
After he debuted and made money, he bought this villa and brought his parents over from their hometown.
Apart from daily expenses, all the money he earned was transferred to his mother.
Except for the money spent on the car accident, his mother said she was saving the rest for him.
Now she was telling him there was no money?
Where did the money go?
Soon, he had a guess in his heart, "Did my dad go gambling again?"
"And those relatives from our hometown, did they come to find you again?"
The old woman lowered her head and said nothing.
Gu Nianchen was so angry his head was buzzing.
Turning his head, he met a pair of black eyes.
Lu Ling: "Gu Dingliu, how are you paying?"
"WeChat or Alipay?"
Gu Nianchen: "..."
Gu Nianchen was trembling with rage, his eyes staring fiercely at Lu Ling.
He said word by word, "Alipay."
"Alright!" Lu Ling quickly flashed her Alipay payment code.
Gu Nianchen scanned the code with a dark complexion.
Lu Ling stared at her Alipay happily, but after a while, no money had arrived.
She frowned slightly and looked at Gu Nianchen.
That idiot was frowning tightly, looking like he had something to say but was holding back.
Lu Ling: "..."
"No way, no way? Gu Dingliu can't even come up with a mere 2.89 million?"
"Should I set up a crowdfunding page for you?"
"..."
Gu Nianchen was very annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
"I'll give you a portion first, and I'll give you the rest in a few days."
Lu Ling: "..."
"Then write me an IOU."
Gu Nianchen was dumbfounded, not believing this was real.
"Lu Ling, don't you trust me?"
Lu Ling was amused.
"You were the one who pursued me crazily back then. After we got together, I introduced resources to you and helped you become a top-tier celebrity, but you tricked me into quitting my job to help you take care of your mother?"
"For you, I delayed my work and spent all my savings, and what about you?"
"What did you say at the time?"
"You said that once you were firmly established in the Yúlè quān, you would marry me."
"However, what have you done now?"
Lu Ling gave a sarcastic smile: "Are you even worthy of talking to me about trust?"
Gu Nianchen felt a bit embarrassed for a moment, but felt more anger; he walked quickly toward the upstairs.
When he came down, he had a piece of paper in his hand and handed it to Lu Ling.
He really wrote an IOU for the amount of one million.
Immediately after, he transferred 1.89 million to Lu Ling via Alipay.
Lu Ling took the money and the IOU, got up, and left the Gu family.
Before she left, Gu Nianchen suddenly called out to her again.
"Lu Ling, I will give you the remaining one million before the end of the month."
"In the future, let's not meet again."
"Also, don't make things difficult for Yuanyuan."
Lu Ling turned to look at him, her expression indifferent, "What you just said..."
"That will cost extra."
"You..." Gu Nianchen was furious, his eyes full of disgust as he looked at Lu Ling.
"Lu Ling, don't be too excessive."
Lu Ling rolled her eyes at him and turned to leave directly.
When she reached the door, Gu Nianchen's exasperated voice came from behind her again.
"Lu Ling, Yuanyuan and I will be on that Variety Show together, you had better not follow us."
"Seeing you only makes me feel disgusted."
Lu Ling didn't stop her pace for even a second.
"Then I'm sorry, but I, well, I like disgusting people the most."
