I laughed, realizing just how shameless a person could truly be.
In the past, during our relationship, he would always record every detail of our daily lives, claiming it was to remember our sweet moments together.
Little did I know, this was a trap he had been plotting for a long time.
"I know you can't come up with that much money all at once, so if you apologize to me now, I'll forgive you and we can continue dating and get married."
"Apologize? Who should be apologizing to whom? What makes you think I owe you an apology?"
"And let me tell you, even if every man in the world died, I would never marry you. We need to break up—it's a must!"
"Fine, then transfer me one hundred thousand right now."
"Don't rush; you've done your calculations, but I haven't finished mine yet!"
"What calculations are you talking about?"
"The down payment for the car you bought last year was covered by me. I gave you a camera for Christmas last year, and last month you borrowed ten thousand from me. Just those add up to more than one hundred thousand, not to mention all the other little expenses that haven't been accounted for."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xincheng's earlier bravado instantly faded away, and he stammered, "Y-You're talking nonsense! There's no way I spent that much money. You're just trying to extort me, you shameless jerk!"
"Watch your mouth! We're both finance majors; we have records of our spending and transfers. I don't believe you can't figure this out!"
His dad saw my serious demeanor and immediately panicked, trying to mediate: "Oh come on, Zhang Xincheng was just joking with you. He loves you and doesn't want to break up; why are you taking this so seriously?"
"Yes, your uncle and aunt truly care about you. It's not easy for a young couple to get this far; don't let a bit of money ruin three years of feelings."
Zhang Xincheng squeezed out a few tears in response to his mother's words.
"You have such a cruel heart. One moment you want to break up, the next you're counting the costs with me. Have you forgotten all I've done for you? Did you ever love me at all?"
Alright, alright.
What a twisted play of black and white, a relentless cycle of manipulation.
In less than a day, I was completely caught up in this family's games.
First came the obedience test, followed by an extortion of one hundred thousand, and now I was being labeled as ungrateful.
What sins did I commit in my past life to encounter such a bizarre family?
"Stop with the nonsense. After deducting the hundred thousand you owe me, you still need to pay back thirty-six thousand. I'll give you three days; if you don't repay me, I'll sue you."
Just as I was about to step out the door, he suddenly shouted, "If your dad were watching from above, he would never forgive you!"
I froze in place, turning my head back in disbelief.
I had truly underestimated his shamelessness.
Three years ago, it was Zhang Xincheng who saved my father from the car accident.
At that time, I was on a business trip out of town. Not only did he rescue my father, but he also took care of him in the hospital.
Because of this kindness, our relationship gradually became closer and naturally developed into a romantic one.
Unfortunately, that accident left its mark, and my father passed away two years ago.
Before he died, my father tightly grasped his hand and entrusted me with his last words: " Xiaxia's mother passed away early. You must take good care of her for me and give her a happy home, so I can rest easy."
Because of this statement, after my father's passing, Zhang Xincheng's controlling nature intensified. He restricted my spending and interfered with my social life.
It wasn't until today, when I visited his family, that I realized I had long been trapped in his cage.
Dad wanted me to experience the warmth and happiness of a home, not to bear the shackles of one called "home."
What surprised me even more was that he would use my deceased father's memory to morally manipulate me.
Seeing the smug look on his face made me feel sick to my stomach.
"Stop using my dad to manipulate me. That was my dad; he would understand me. From now on, I have nothing to do with you."
Zhang Xincheng was momentarily stunned.
Before leaving, I ripped off the couple's ring we shared and threw it into the trash can. No matter how much he shouted, I did not look back.
