Chapter 718: Chapter 710 She Won’t Give Chapter 718: Chapter 710 She Won’t Give She was unwilling, but that didn’t mean others felt the same.
Tang Yuxin walked out, the sky outside brushing her face with a gentle breeze, which sometimes carried a few withered leaves that twirled before her, then fluttered down unsteadily.
With a creaking sound, her feet crunched over the leaves, producing a rustling noise...
If there were more leaves, it would be like stepping on a soft sofa, which could be quite interesting.
“Are you looking for me?” she approached a woman standing with her back to her.
When the woman turned around and saw Tang Yuxin, the face illuminated by the streetlight was a familiar one, and also one that Tang Yuxin despised.
The woman’s gaze moved from Tang Yuxin’s face to her belly.
...
“Are you pregnant?”
“Yes,” Tang Yuxin gently touched her belly as if the little one inside kicked her in protest.
Was this a reminder that it, too, disliked the woman in front of her?
Even if this woman was their grandmother, the dislike from the two little ones was the same.
They had been quietly sleeping just moments ago, but now they had started to create a fuss.
“You have something for me?” Tang Yuxin would never believe that her own mother came just to see her, ask if she was pregnant, and then leave.
Or perhaps, had her mother had a change of heart and come to show concern for her daughter?
To be honest, she wouldn’t believe such a joke even if it killed her.
And she harbored no such illusion, for her dreams had already been shattered by her own mother in the previous life.
“Yuxin, I...”
Sang Zhilan stood there, yet she couldn’t take a step forward, also feeling guilty, knowing well that Tang Yuxin didn’t like her, and even her mockery was unbearable.
“Speak,”
Tang Yuxin caught a leaf from the tree and played with it in her palm.
Sang Zhilan paused for a moment and finally bit her lip.
“Yuxin, do you have a medicinal recipe?”
“A medicinal recipe?” Tang Yuxin was momentarily confused, wondering if pregnancy really made one dumber, because her thoughts didn’t seem as clear as before, and she didn’t immediately grasp what Sang Zhilan was referring to.
What medicinal recipe?
Where would she have gotten one from?
“The one for treating the flu, the one you have been taking?
And you’ve been giving it to others too, that one you’ve recently been drinking?”
With that money, they could afford to buy a new house.
So for that hundred thousand yuan, she came here.
Tang Zhinian’s warnings were forgotten.
Now, all that was in her mind was the hundred thousand yuan; nothing else mattered?
Tang Yuxin could no longer stand and turned to leave.
Resulting in Sang Zhilan rushing over to block Tang Yuxin’s path, her eyes red with desperation.
“Give me the recipe.”
She needed that recipe, she absolutely had to get it today.
“What do you want the recipe for?” Tang Yuxin asked again, torn between wanting and not wanting to answer.
What did she want her recipe for?
That recipe was no trivial matter; used correctly, it could save lives, but if misused, it could kill.
It was related to human life, how could she just hand it over to anyone, especially Sang Zhilan?
“Why do you care so much, just give it to me.”
Sang Zhilan was determined today; if she didn’t get the recipe, she wouldn’t let Tang Yuxin go.
Today, whether Tang Yuxin liked it or not, she had to give it over.
“Yuxin, no matter what I’ve done, you owe me a life.
I am your biological mother, and I will be your mother for life.
All I want is that damn recipe.
You’re not planning on giving it to me?”
Only then did Tang Yuxin realize what Sang Zhilan was up to.
She wanted that recipe, the one for the flu prevention remedy Tang Yuxin had prepared for the household.
“I can’t give you the recipe,” Tang Yuxin frowned deeply.
“Make yourself clear, why ‘can’t’ you give it to me?”
Upon hearing this, Sang Zhilan was not going to let it slide.
After all her efforts to find this opportunity to make money, how could Tang Yuxin’s refusal simply end it?
If she didn’t give it, Sang Zhilan wouldn’t get any money.
If she didn’t get the money, their entire family would be left with nothing to live on.
