Money For Last Night III

"Money for last night, 10,000 yuan."

Gu Qingqing's hands were shaking as she held the cheque. Receiving this was like getting a cold-hard slap from Leng Sicheng. Her mind went completely blank.

Immediately, she remembered Leng Sicheng telling her that the reason he got angry was not that he loved her or respected her. It was because he felt embarrassed that she attempted to borrow money from others as Mrs. Leng. And the most embarrassing part was when she was treated as a hostess in a nightclub. She was offered a measly sum of 10,000 yuan to spend the night with someone.

Initially, she thought that Leng Sicheng was going to plant a kiss on her lips when he got closer to her. However, reality was almost certainly always crueler than a dream.

She was all but too naïve!

"....Qingqing, did Leng Sicheng hand you the money? Did you argue with him again?" asked a nervous Wu Aimei as she was worried that Gu Qingqing had failed to get more money from Leng Sicheng resulting in her son going to jail.

"Yes. He gave me the money."

Gu Qingqing grasped the cheque in her hands tightly. She wished she could tear it into pieces and burn it to ashes.

"Bank in the money as soon as possible since he's already passed it to you. I'm afraid things might go south if you delay any further! I don't want anything to happen to my son!"

Gu Qingqing did not respond. After a short pause, her mother asked another question.

"Did you argue with Leng Sicheng again? Let me tell you something. When a man becomes rich, he will always look for other women to have fun. It is normal for a rich and powerful man like Leng Sicheng to sleep with other women. Don't overthink it."

"Mom, I thought you asked me to pay attention to the women Leng Sicheng hangs out with?"

"All I asked you to do is to keep an eye on them. Whatever it is, you shouldn't argue with Leng Sicheng. I know he is in a close relationship with a celebrity. I don't want you to argue with him because of that. You have to realize that our family can never match up to the Leng family! For the past three years, he has dumped a hell lot of money on us to keep us alive. We have to be grateful to him! Just let him to whatever he wants. All the flings that he's got can never compare to you since you are his legally married wife. Of course, what you need to do right now is give him a child as soon as possible to fortify your position! Otherwise, any other woman can easily replace you in the house!"

"Mom, are you trying to tell me that as long as he gives me money, he can do whatever he wants to me?! He can cheat on me as many times as he wishes? And all I can do is to ignore it?"

"My daughter, you are still too young! It is rare for a man to give money to a woman like you. You should be more than grateful."

Gu Qingqing gripped the cellphone so tightly, sweat began to drip off it. She had never expected her mother to say something like this to her.
