"I... Nan Chen, I'm sorry, Mom has no other choice. If I don't tell them, they'll kill me. You don't want to see Mom die, right?"

Zhang Guifen looked at me with tears streaming down her face, stumbled towards me, and grabbed my hand.

"Nan Chen, look how badly this house has been smashed. It's no longer ours. Why don't you take me to stay at your house?"

"Mom is getting old, you can't just let me wander around outside, can you?"

I turned around and slammed my fist against the wall, yelling with my head down, "Mom, are you unhappy because I'm alive?!"

I can't go on living, why are you still treating me like this?

Unfortunately, she didn't understand my sadness at all. After hearing my screams, she started yelling like a tantrum.

"Your mother worked so hard to raise you, feeding you every drop of poop and every pee, and now that you're all grown up, you don't want to take care of me anymore, is that it!"

"Heavens above, for whom have I toiled all these years?"

"Who told me that raising children is for old age security? I think that saying is completely wrong. Otherwise, why doesn't my son plan to support me in my old age?"

I closed my eyes tightly, and for the first time, I didn't try to coax her like I had before.

A moment later, I opened my eyes, turned around and walked outside without saying a word, and she followed me in a panic.

As soon as I got into the driver's seat, Zhang Guifen immediately opened the car door and sat in the back seat. "Ji Nanchen, wherever you go, Mom will go with you. Don't even think about abandoning me!"

I remained silent, started the car, and drove towards the hotel.

I won't bring her to live at my house because I don't want to cause trouble for Shen Zhixia, and I don't want my mother to have any more greed.

"Nan Chen, actually, 2.3 million isn't much. Shen's is such a big company, Shen Zhixia could easily make that much with just a little bit of money. What do you think?"

“Let me tell you, I’m the only family you have left in this world. If I’m driven to death, you’ll have no family left. You can’t just watch your own mother be driven to her death, can you?”

"Ji Nanchen, you're not saying a word, are you mute?"

I remained silent, letting Zhang Guifen grumble and curse all the way.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a small hotel.

I helped her check in and led her into the hotel room. "You're not allowed to go anywhere for the next few days."

As I was about to leave, Zhang Guifen held my hand tightly.

"Son, you're not going to leave your mother here and abandon her, are you?"

"I'll go raise the money."

I finished speaking in a cold voice, forcefully pulled her hand away, and turned to leave.

Zhang Guifen stood there, watching me slowly walk away, and smiled happily, "I knew raising a son would definitely be useful, so Mom will rest assured and wait here for your good news."

Compared to her happiness, I couldn't smile at all.

I drove to a used car dealership and parked in front of it for a long time without getting out.

I've had this car for two or three years; I bought it with money I saved up for a long time.

I don't want to sell my car, but I'm desperate.

Later that day, the car sold for 300,000, leaving a shortfall of 2 million to reach 2.3 million.

Adding my own savings over the years, which amount to 600,000, I'm still short 1.4 million.

One million four hundred thousand is a huge sum of money for me right now.

I don't know who to borrow this money from, and I don't know if I can live long enough to pay it back in my remaining years.

Three days later, I received a call from Shen Zhixia.

I hesitated when I saw her call.

During those three days, I wanted to call her countless times and ask her for money, but I didn't know how to bring it up.

In the end, I answered her call.

"Hello?" My hoarse voice had barely faded when Shen Zhixia's impatient voice followed, "Ji Nanchen, come to my company and take your mother back!"

what?

Didn't I tell my mom not to wander around? Why did she go to Shen Zhixia's company?

While I was still in shock, Shen Zhixia's cold voice rang out again, "Come here quickly, your mother's disturbance is having a huge impact on our company."

"I'll be right away."

After hanging up the phone, I rushed to the underground parking garage, started the car, and drove towards Shen's Group.

Shen's Group, President's Office.

"Mr. Shen, the old lady is staying in the conference room for now. She said she won't go back unless she sees you today."

"Leave her alone for now. Tell your employees to go back to work and be fired immediately if anyone is found spreading rumors online."

After saying this in a cold voice, Shen Zhixia threw the thing in her hand away.

The secretary shuddered in fright and hurriedly replied, "Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

After the secretary left, Shen Zhixia lay wearily on the chair, her mood growing increasingly irritable as she recalled the news she had just seen.

No one expected that Zhang Guifen would suddenly run downstairs at her company and demand to see her.

When the security guards tried to take Zhang Guifen out, she shouted, "Your boss, Shen Zhixia, is my daughter-in-law. I, her mother-in-law, have come to see her. What does she mean by this? Is she trying to kick me out?"

"You, Shen's Group, run such a big company, and this is how you treat people? If my daughter-in-law knew how you treated me, she would fire you all one by one!"

As she spoke, she sat on the ground and cried, lamenting that her son and daughter-in-law were unfilial and that she had a miserable life.

By the time Shen Zhixia learned about this, a large crowd had already gathered downstairs at the company. She had no choice but to arrange for her secretary to take Zhang Guifen upstairs first.

When I arrived at Shen's Group, I was taken directly to the conference room by the secretary, Zhang Jie.

As soon as I entered the conference room, I saw Zhang Guifen with bright, sparkling eyes.

"Mom, what are you doing here!"

"I'm just worried that you won't be able to raise 2.3 million, so I thought I'd ask my daughter-in-law for help!"

After saying this, Zhang Guifen reached out and touched the leather chair in the conference room again. "Son, even the chairs here are so high-end. Shen Zhixia must earn a lot of money every month, right?"

"When I walked in, I saw computers everywhere and the environment was very nice. With such a high-end environment, I would believe you if you said Shen Zhixia earns millions a month!"

My face flushed, and I pulled Zhang Guifen towards the door, saying, "I'll figure out the money problem. You come back with me now!"

"I'm not going back!"

Zhang Guifen irritably shook off my hand and said greedily, "Although Shen Zhixia is a womanizer, she is still your legal wife, whom you have a marriage certificate with. What's wrong with me coming to see your wife's office environment?"

"Besides, this entire building belongs to her, so doesn't that mean it all belongs to the Ji family?"

"Nan Chen, you haven't contacted me for so many days. Is it because you can't raise the two million three hundred thousand?"
