I stood up and pulled Chao Ran aside. "Shut up!" 0
 
Then I warned Ma Xiangming, "I warn you! Don't bully my Chao Ran!" 0
 
With that, I took Chao Ran and walked away. 0
 
As I brushed past Ma Xiangming, my shoulder collided hard with his. 0
 
Of course, it was intentional. 0
 
Once we stepped out of the office, I let out a sigh of relief. 0
 
"Mom, am I okay?" 0
 
Chao Ran glanced at me cautiously. 0
 
I raised my hand and flicked his forehead. "You better watch out!" 0
 
Turning to Teacher Yue, I said, "Could you please change Chao Ran's class?" 0
 
I didn't want Yun Nuo to get involved. 0
 
After all, Yun Nuo still didn't know about my past. 0
 
I certainly didn't want her to find out that her mother had once been infatuated as well. 0
 
Cough, cough... Keep it low-key. 0
 
Teacher Yue nodded. "Sure." 0
 
At that moment, I suddenly remembered something very important. 0
 
I had just been so angry with Ma Xiangming that I completely forgot! 0
 
 
I pulled Chao Ran aside. "Chao Ran, do you really like Wang Hui?" 0
 
Chao Ran paused for a moment before nodding in acknowledgment. "Yeah... I like Wang Hui." 0
 
He scratched his head. "But don't worry, Mom, I won't let it affect my studies." 0
 
"Wang Hui has great grades. Let's work hard together to get into Tsinghua!" 0
 
I sighed in relief. 0
 
It's wonderful that my son likes a girl who can help him improve. 0
 
Unlike me back then... I gave up my future for love. 0
 
A mix of emotions flooded my heart. 0
 
"Ms. Chu Jie, please wait." 0
 
Hearing that familiar voice, I stopped in my tracks. 0
 
A luxury sedan was parked at the entrance of the community, looking quite expensive. 0
 
Just as I was about to get into the car, that annoying voice interrupted me. 0
 
It was Ma Xiangming. 0
 
What was he doing here? 0
 
He just wouldn't go away! 0
 
Thinking about what had just happened in the office made my anger flare up again. 0
 
 
He walked towards me. 0
 
I frowned and kept retreating, trying to create distance between us. 0
 
"Don't come any closer!" 0
 
Ma Xiangming looked at me with a complex expression, his mouth moving as if he wanted to say something. 0
 
I turned to leave. "Don't come looking for me again!" 0
 
Ma Xiangming quickly caught up and grabbed my wrist. "Chu Jie!" 0
 
"Don't touch me!" I shook off his hand. 0
 
The thought of him having held another woman's hand made me feel sick! 0
 
Ma Xiangming's face was pained. "Chu Jie, please listen to me." 0
 
"I had no choice but to break up with you back then." 0
 
"Wang Ping has always liked you. When I found out, she threatened to find you..." 0
 
"In order to protect you, I had no choice but to marry her." 0
 
My expression darkened. 0
 
Protect me? 0
 
What a nice way to put it! 0
 
He was just vain, preferring wealth over love! 0
 
Seeing that I remained silent, Ma Xiangming thought I believed his lies and continued, "Chu Jie, I've been thinking about you all these years." 0
 
 
"I promised to give you two hundred thousand at first, and now I've raised it to five hundred thousand." 0
 
He took out a bank card and handed it to me. "Just take it." 0
 
I looked down and let out a cold laugh. 0
 
Five hundred thousand? 0
 
Did this scumbag think I was a beggar? 0
 
I am the richest person in the province! 0
 
I give Chao Ran more than that for pocket money in half a year! 0
 
Seeing that I didn't accept it, Ma Xiangming sighed. "I know this amount is too little, but my current capabilities are limited." 0
 
"Chu Jie, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me." 0
 
"If the money isn't enough, I'll find another way." 0
 
As he spoke, he forcibly shoved the bank card into my hand. 0
 
The card was light, yet it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. 0
 
"Ma Xiangming, who do you think you can appease with this five hundred thousand?" 0
 
"I haven't even addressed the issue of your daughter bothering my Chao Ran!" 0
