I Dragged My Fiance's Uncle off the Altar

Chapter 158: Ungrateful

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wu Minxia had been suppressing her anger ever since she received the 10 million yuan from Xing Shu. Now, her anger had finally dissipated a little. She quickly patted Xing Shut s shoulder and put on the image of a good mother. “Xing Shu, it’s good that you know how to be grateful. Apologize to Linlin and we’ll still be a family.”

Xing Linlin sneered in her heart, but she pretended to be in a difficult position. “There’s no need to apologize, Mom. Xing Shu didn’t do anything wrong. Just as she said, she was very young back then.” Her attitude was gentle, generous, and understanding. It was a stark contrast to Xing Shu’s attitude.

Xing Shu lowered her eyes and said calmly, “It’s true that I didn’t do anything wrong, so there’s no need to apologize.”

The whole place was in an uproar. No one expected Xing Shu to be so arrogant. Everyone’s disgust for her deepened.

Xing Shu said, “Furthermore, I’ve already repaid the Xing family’s kindness. Madam Wu Minxia, didn’t you accept the 10 million yuan I transferred yesterday?” A screenshot of the transfer appeared on the big screen behind her.

The big screen was prepared by Wu Minxia for Xing Linlin—she planned to showcase some photographs of Xing Linlin at the welfare home at the end to gain everyone’s sympathy for her. In the end, it was stolen by Xing Shu. Damn it, when did Xing Shu do this?!

Xing Linlin replied in surprise, “Mom, Xing Shu is so generous to you. She actually gave you 10 million yuan. This is the first time Xing Shu has given you something since she started working. Do you regret acknowledging me? I’m not as capable as Xing Shu and can’t give you so much money.” Xing Linlin said in a coquettish tone. In the blink of an eye, she turned the 10 million yuan transfer into a gift—from a daughter to her mother. 10 million yuan was a huge sum to ordinary people. But to wealthy families, it was only considered chump change.

Xing Linlin had a way with her words. She even specially emphasized that this was the first time Xing Shu had given Wu Minxia a gift, hinting that Xing Shu was unfilial to her parents. Most importantly, Xing Linlin had even pointed out that she had no money. So, why didn’t she have any? Everyone could not help but think of her donation to the welfare home. It was rumored that she only left very little for herself every month—just enough for her living expenses— and was very harsh on herself. Xing Shu had easily given 10 million yuan, but she did not give a single cent to the welfare home that raised her. She was simply ungrateful.

Everyone felt that Xing Shu was thick-skinned. 10 million yuan to offset their kindness? Was she trying to dismiss a beggar?

“How much does it cost for a wealthy family to nurture a child? Moreover, Xing Shu is the top scorer of the college entrance examination. Just hiring a teacher would cost more than 10 million yuan.”

“The Xing family has really raised an ingrate.”

“How dare Xing Shu say such a thing? As expected, a bastard is a bastard. Her genes have long determined what kind of person she is.”

At this point, everyone felt that Xing Shu was a clown and an ingrate. Some people were even comforting Xing Guotai. Seeing this, Cheng Xingyang felt that his decision was not wrong. Xing Shu—this bastard of unknown origin—was indeed not worthy of him.

In the entire hall, Cheng Lang was the calmest and quietest person. Even at this moment—he did not move—only occasionally glancing at Xing Shu from the corner of his eyes.

Wu Minxia and Xing Linlin looked at each other and felt that Xing Shu was very ridiculous. Showcasing a screenshot of the transfer at this time would only nail her to the pillar of shame—a director of Cheng Corporation Group and the top scorer of the college entrance examination came to this.

Amid the clamor, the display on the big screen suddenly changed and turned into a spreadsheet with all kinds of expenditures, complete with invoices and prices attached. Everyone was stunned. Whose expenditure was this? Everyone was attracted by this spreadsheet and could not help but look at Xing Shu.

Xing Shu’s expression did not change. “This is the money that the Xing family has spent on me over the years. It adds up to less than two million yuan. My 10 million yuan even accounted for inflation over the years. So, how did they suffer any loss?” The spreadsheet was too detailed—even detailing clearly things like when certain clothes were bought. Everyone’s face faltered.

Xing Shu continued, “Perhaps someone will refute me and feel that the Xing family should have spent a lot of time on me, and time can’t be calculated with money. No worries, I have another spreadsheet. This is the time I spent at home—three years in junior high, three years in high school, and four years in college. After the college entrance examination, I was crowned the top scorer in the capital. During the vacation before the first year of college, I worked as a tutor and earned my own tuition fees and living expenses. I never returned home..”
