40: You're not the only one with a mother, bitch

“Wuwuwuwu, please let me go. My little brother is still young, my older brother is always out, and my mother is old and needs me to take care of her. Please, I beg you.”

Liu Ruyan cried herself hoarse, hoping to move Jiang Feng with her family situation and soften his heart.

It was better that she didn't say anything, but as soon as she did, it touched upon Jiang Feng's tragic memories.

In his previous life, after Jiang Feng's mother contracted acute leukemia, the high initial treatment costs quickly drained their family's savings.

If it weren't for Zheng Yiyun's generosity, lending Jiang Feng over a hundred thousand yuan, then he and his mother would likely have been swept out of the Hospital!

At this moment, Jiang Feng remembered that he had left fifty thousand yuan with Liu Ruyan. Although it wasn't much, it could alleviate the urgent need.

This was his New Year's money saved since childhood, and the hard-earned money he had accumulated from working summer jobs over the years.

He had thought it would be easy to get back, but unexpectedly, as soon as he asked for the money, Liu Ruyan immediately broke up with him.

While Liu Ruyan refused to return the money, she also claimed it was compensation for her youthful loss. But the problem was, he and Liu Ruyan had been together for three months, he had paid for everything they did, and besides holding hands, they hadn't done anything else!

What kind of youthful loss compensation was that? Was a man's youth not youth too?

Jiang Feng spent over two months, seeking out Liu Ruyan dozens of times, trying everything from being forceful to being humble.

All he got in return were Liu Ruyan's dismissive words:

“How can that be the same? A woman's youth is definitely more precious. As long as a man has money, he can find an eighteen-year-old even at eighty! And I sacrificed three months of my youth, fifty thousand yuan in compensation is nothing at all!”

“Ah ah ah ah, so what? What does your mother's death have to do with me? She's not my mother.”

“Jiang Feng, I really misjudged you. For just a few tens of thousands of yuan, you actually fabricated that your mother is seriously ill. It's truly laughable. If it's fake, then I hope it's real. If it's real, then I hope your mother finds peace soon!”

“Ah ah ah! Jiang Feng, your mother just died, but I sacrificed my youth!!!”

......

One after another, harsh and venomous words echoed in Jiang Feng's mind.

He was furious, taking a few steps forward, swinging his arm, and slapped Liu Ruyan across the face.

“Pa!” A crisp slap echoed in the small garden for a long time.

“Ah!”

Liu Ruyan let out a tragic scream. Her head snapped to the side from the blow, and a trickle of fresh blood immediately seeped from the corner of her mouth.

Even a few teeth were knocked out, spitting them out mixed with blood.

Liu Ruyan covered her face with both hands, her body curled into a ball.

The intense pain made her tremble all over, tears streamed down uncontrollably, and snot smeared her face.

“Jiang Feng… please… my mother is still waiting for me to go home for dinner.”

Jiang Feng was expressionless, he squatted in front of Liu Ruyan, enunciating each word:

“But you're not the only one who has a mother, you stinking bitch.”

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan's body trembled violently. She looked up, her eyes blurred with tears, and pleaded with Jiang Feng:

“Jiang Feng, I know I was wrong…”

Jiang Feng lost his patience and directly slapped her, cutting off Liu Ruyan's remaining words.

He sneered, stood up, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked down at Liu Ruyan.

“Less nonsense. Do you want the photos?”

Liu Ruyan seemed to grasp at a life-saving straw, nodding repeatedly and saying:

“Yes, Jiang Feng, please, give me the photos. As long as you give me the photos, I'll do anything.”

Her eyes were filled with longing and pleading, as if the photos were her entire life.

As long as she could get the photos back, she could escape this nightmare.

At that time, she would find her older brother and bring people to severely teach Jiang Feng a lesson. He must pay a heavy price!!!

The corner of Jiang Feng's mouth curled slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and he said:

“Crawl over on your knees.”

His voice was not loud, but it was filled with an unquestionable authority.

Liu Ruyan hesitated for a moment, but thinking of those photos, she gritted her teeth, slowly knelt down, and then crawled step by step towards Jiang Feng.

Her knees rubbed against the ground, making a “shasha” sound. Every step she crawled seemed to take all her strength.

Liu Ruyan's heart was filled with humiliation, but for the sake of the photos, for the sake of living her ideal life, she could only endure it.

As long as she could get the photos back, all of this would be worth it.

“You look like a dog, Liu Ruyan.”

Jiang Feng burst into laughter, then took out his phone and took a perfect photo.

“Very nice.”

Jiang Feng admired his masterpiece with relish, then took out the photo and lightly patted Liu Ruyan's swollen cheek a few times.

“If you want it, first return my fifty thousand yuan.”

Jiang Feng would certainly not let her off so easily, but for now, he would complete the system task first.

Once he got the money, he could do whatever he wanted.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan seemed to see hope, nodding repeatedly and saying:

“Okay, I'll go to the bank to get the money right now! Jiang Feng, you must wait for me, I will definitely bring the money back.”

“I'll only give you ten minutes.”

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan disregarded the pain in her body, stood up urgently, and staggered towards the dormitory.

Soon, under the surprised gaze and questioning of Tiger Tank Xiao Mei, Liu Ruyan got her bank card.

Then she limped downstairs and headed towards the bank next to the school.

The bank was not far, separated from Yangcheng University by only one road.

To facilitate students withdrawing money for tuition or miscellaneous fees, the bank was opened across from the school.

Liu Ruyan endured the pain and quickly ran to the bank across the road.

The bank was bustling with people coming and going.

Liu Ruyan was busy at the ATM, her hands trembling slightly from nervousness, and she even entered the password incorrectly twice.

“Hurry up, why are you so slow!”

An impatient old woman behind her urged, her brows tightly furrowed, her face showing dissatisfaction.

“Shut up, old hag, you're in such a hurry, are you rushing to reincarnate?!”

Facing others, Liu Ruyan immediately reverted to her sharp-tongued and mean nature.

She fumbled with the ATM, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead, her heart filled with anxiety and fear.

“Hey, you young girl, why don't you know how to respect the old and cherish the young? You ungrateful brat!”

The old woman was very displeased and even reached out to grab Liu Ruyan.

“Don't touch me!”

Amidst the old woman's curses, Liu Ruyan finished withdrawing the money and put it into a plastic bag, then pushed the old woman away and rushed out.

She clutched the money tightly to her chest, as if holding onto her last hope.

Soon, Liu Ruyan ran to Jiang Feng, handed him the money, and pleaded:

“Please, Jiang Feng… I've returned every penny of the money to you. The photos, give me the photos!”
