Chapter 254
Yolanda sighed. In the past, when her family was still wealthy, her aunt would come to borrow money from them. And they would lend it to her, even if it was ten million dollars, they didn't ask her to pay them back. Now, for her aunt to say something like this, it made Yolanda's heart sink.
"Mom, let's go home," Yolanda pulled her mother along.
Her aunt's attitude indicated how much cold treatment and grievance her mother must have suffered before she and Chuck arrived.
Her mother shook her head and her eyes reddened. She panicked. If her sister didn't help her, she didn't know who else she could go to.
Since the fall of her family, she had lost all of her friends. She had no other way. If she didn't ask for her sister's help, who else could she go to?
Then, she got on her knees and pleaded, "Sister, please help me for the last time. I didn't even ask you to repay the 20 million that you've borrowed from me before. Can you just take it as you paying me five million dollars back?"
"No. You said that you didn't need me to pay back those 20 million dollars, and now you want to take back your words?" Auntie shook her head coldly. "Don't ever come again. I won't lend you money, not even a single cent," she said.
"Sister," Yolanda's mother cried.
Yolanda rushed over to help her mother up, "Mom, don't do this. I have the five million dollars already."
Yolanda truly felt useless. Her mother had to kneel before someone to beg. She couldn't imagine who else to go to for help if Chuck hadn't offered his help to her this time around.
"Yolanda, is that true?" Yolanda's mother cried tears of joy.
"Yes," Yolanda nodded and said.
"Really? Since you have the money already, why don't you leave my house now? What are you still doing here for?" Auntie sneered. "Five million dollars is not a small sum. Who would lend it to your family? A fool?" She thought disdainfully.
"Auntie, you've gone too far," Yolanda was angry.
"I have gone too far? I'm sorry, but this is how society is now. My family is rich whereas yours is poor. This is the difference between us, a gap that you could never overcome. Don't ever show up at my house again. You people are the shameless ones for staying in my house right now, don't blame me. This is my house, get out of here!" Auntie snorted, and her face full of contempt.
She still had to go shopping with her friends later, so she didn't have the time to waste on her poor relatives here.
"Auntie, we are relatives after all. You really don't have to do this. Have you forgotten how nice we have treated you before?. Now, you treat my mother so cruelly, how could you do such a thing?" Yolanda was rarely provoked and angered, but she couldn't help it that day.
"What do you mean? Did I beg you all to do so? No, it was your own decision to treat me well, and you gave me the money willingly. Whatever you've given me is already mine. But now you want it back? Impossible! Get out of my house!" Auntie snorted indifferently.
Yolanda's mother sighed and felt desperate, thinking that her daughter didn't actually manage to get help. The reason why she had said so just now was to save some of their dignity.
"Let's go, Yolanda." Yolanda's mother knew that it was useless for her to kneel again. Her sister wouldn't have lent them the money anyway.
"Mom," Yolanda's eyes were teary. She felt the waves of her mother's sadness, and her heart ached for her. She suddenly realized that her mother was only in her forties but there was already so much grey in her hair.
"Let's go," Yolanda's mother sighed, and tears flowed out of her eyes.
She didn't want to stay here any longer. She was completely humiliated just for nothing in return.
Seeing her mother in despair, Yolanda felt upset and wanted to comfort her. "Okay, Mom. Let's go home," Yolanda said.
"Leave now, I have shopping to do with my friends, and you've already delayed my time. If you dare to come again next time, I will kick you out." Auntie then continued in her cold tone while staring at the dirt on the floor, feeling disgusted, "Haven't you seen an expensive rug? Don't you know the rules? Walking in like that, who allowed you to enter with that dirt under your feet? Just look at how dirty my rug has become! So filthy!"
Auntie scolded angrily. She had spent more than ten thousand dollars on this fur carpet. Now that it's been trampled like this, her heart ached badly.
Chuck looked down at his feet, it wasn't dirty. It was normal to leave footprints on fur rugs.
Yolanda helped her mother out and looked back at her aunt.
"What are you looking at? Look at how you've messed up my fur rug. Especially your boyfriend, looking broke. Don't step in my house anymore! Go squat outside! Is this a place for you to enter as you wish? You broke *ss! Get out now, or I'll ask you to pay for it. But looking at your appearance, you don't seem to be able to afford it!" Auntie stared at Chuck with a disgusted look on her face.
Who did he think he was? Not only did he show up uninvited, but he also dirtied her expensive rug.
Yolanda was furious, and so was her mother. Perhaps her mother didn't sleep well for the past few days, hence she got too mad and fainted. "Mom, Mom..." Yolanda called out frantically.
"Yolanda, let's send your mom to the hospital," Chuck saw that her mother was wearing herself out. And to be insulted by her sister this way, it was enough to make her faint. This was serious, they needed to take her to the hospital.
"Okay," Yolanda was also anxious and felt even more distressed for her mother. Ever since her family had lost their money, her mother had been wearing herself out to her limits. To think that her mother was used to living a luxury life before this, she had never needed to do anything by herself.
Chuck carried Yolanda's mother down the stairs, and Yolanda followed him in a hurry.
Her aunt closed the door in disgust. Then, her phone rang and she answered, "Hello, I'll be there soon. Oh, don't mention it, it's just a few poor relatives that had come to borrow money. I'm so annoyed. Of course, I'm not lending them. By the looks of their family, it's impossible for them to make a comeback for the rest of their life... Let's not talk about them. I'll be there soon..."
Chuck went downstairs with Yolanda's mother in his arms. But after some motion, she had regained consciousness. Yolanda was worried, "Mom, I'll take you to the hospital."
"No, I'm fine. It's costly to go to the hospital," she shook her head bitterly.
Yolanda started crying after hearing her words, "Mom..."
"Auntie, let's go to the hospital and have a check-up," Chuck was concerned. Seeing her like this, Chuck recalled of the time when he was reluctant to buy medicine even when he caught a cold. He had no money, and neither did Yvette as she had just started her business during that time and still owed others money.
"No, don't waste money. Yolanda, just buy me a bottle of water will do," she said.
Yolanda knew her mother's character. If she said she didn't want to go, then she wouldn't go for sure. Hence, Yolanda rushed to the roadside to buy some water.
Chuck helped Yolanda's mother sit on the chair at the bus station. The woman looked at Chuck and asked, "Are you my daughter's boyfriend?"
Chuck was embarrassed. Of course, he was not. Yolanda was the strong and independent type of woman, and she probably didn't even intend to find a boyfriend.
"Thank you for willing to come back with her under such circumstances," she sighed, full of mixed emotion. It was true love after hardship, and she felt content that her daughter had found a boyfriend like him.
In her opinion, Chuck seemed to be a good match for her daughter. But at the same time, she felt guilty because of her family's current situation. If it were some other boys, they would have left a long time ago. On the other hand, Chuck seemed like a great guy.
Chuck was embarrassed to hear that. He just came here to accompany Yolanda to solve the problem. After all, Yolanda was very busy back there. The plaza and the new piece of land that he bought both required someone to handle.
"Auntie, it's only what I should do," Chuck said.
"No, young man, you are a good person. By the way, how long have you been with my daughter?" She was a little expectant.
Chuck found it embarrassing and felt sorry if he were to say that they were not lovers. Thus, he could only reply, "A few months."
"A few months?" Her mother was confused.
"Yeah, a few months. Don't you worry, Auntie. Yolanda has already got the money."
"Money?" She sighed, "My daughter has always been sensible since she was a child. Her expense in college money was earned through her part-time jobs, and yet she would give them to me every year. She is truly capable, but five million is not a small sum. Last month, she said that she had just found a new job with a salary of more than ten thousand dollars. But, where did she manage to get the five million dollars from?"
In her opinion, Yolanda only said that she had gotten the money just to maintain both of their dignity. But, how could she possibly have gotten it?
She sighed again. Sure enough, true colors were only seen after they have fallen.
"Someone gave it to her," Chuck didn't say that it was from him. There was no need to, as long as it was enough to solve the problem.
"Gave it to her?" Yolanda's mother was worried that her daughter had taken the wrong path. Although she believed in her own daughter, she was forced by the situation. What else could her daughter have done? Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
"Young man, tell me, who gave my daughter the money?" Her mother asked worriedly. She shouldn't have asked Chuck about this as it would cause problems in his and Yolanda's relationship, but who else could she ask besides Chuck?
