Hello, Heir

Chapter 179: This Is What She Owes Her

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

She couldn’t do it. Mother Zhuang was sick, so she had to earn money to let her receive treatments.

How could she... take someone down with her?

Clenching her fists, it finally dawned on Zhuang Nainai at this moment that there was a fine line between gratitude and grudge, and she could not deny the fact that she, who had nothing, could not possibly threaten her, who had everything.

Zhuang Nainai was filled with fury. Holding her cell phone, she walked back home while hanging her head low.

She could not quite explain what she was feeling. She just felt helpless and dejected.

When she reached home, she saw a few black luxury cars parked at her doorstep. Moments later, the butler from the Si family got off the car and walked towards her.

“Ms. Zhuang, Madam sent me here to ask if you have come to a decision.”

Upon saying that, he took out a cheque from his pocket and handed it over to Zhuang Nainai. “Feel free to fill in any sum, as long as it’s under 10,000,000.”

Zhuang Nainai felt shudders down her spine! The first time she rejected the offer, Mother Zhuang was hospitalized. If she rejected it again, would it be her turn to be hospitalized?

These people were just too wicked!

Taking in a deep breath, Zhuang Nainai lowered her head and fixed her gaze on the cheque.

Her frail body was trembling slightly as both anger and helplessness hit her at the same time, causing her to be at a complete loss of what to do.

Her eyes were turning red and tears were accumulating at the rims of her eyes. However, she painstakingly resisted her tears from falling, lest they look down on her.

After a while, she finally composed herself. She reached out her hand slowly to take the cheque.

Shortly after, she looked up and said, “Tell her that this is what she owes me!”

After saying that, she walked towards her room without turning back.

Zhuang Nainai had not written a ridiculous sum of money on the cheque. Instead, she only wrote $300,000, enough for her mother to undergo one surgery.

It was because this was what Ding Mengya owed her and her mother and not for Ding Mengya to make her give up the relationship with Si Zhengting.

She would not break up with Si Zhengting because of this, even though she could not get along well with his mother. However, at that time, she was too young and naive to think that the relationship between her and Si Zhengting only concerned both of them.

If not for that incident afterwards, perhaps she would still be a fool and still be in a stable relationship with Si Zhengting.

After that, she was busy with visiting the hospital every day. Mother Zhuang’s craniotomy was very successful as all the blood clots were removed. However, her memory started becoming muddled. Her memory was staggered; she would be calling Zhuang Nainai’s name while pointing at her at this moment and go looking for Nainai everywhere in the next moment. Afterwards, her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.

——

The sun was shining brightly outside. However, the study room was pin-drop silent.

A shiver went down Zhuang Nainai’s spine.

If she was naive in the past, she was still the same now, wasn’t she?

After all, she did let go of her grudge towards Ding Mengya for Si Zhengting, didn’t she?

When Zhuang Nainai snapped back to reality, Gu Deshou was still looking at her quietly as he sat behind the office desk.

Zhuang Nainai looked down and answered Gu Deshou’s question. “The head injury she suffered in the accident was only the triggering factor to her mental illness.”

Gu Deshou nodded. “I know, I have talked to the mental illnesses specialist overseas. Alzheimer’s can be hereditary. It can also be caused by stress and other factors. However, the trigger is important as well. Actually, it is highly possible that such an illness is a psychological disorder, where there are chances of recovery.”

Zhuang Nainai had already heard all these from the psychiatrist in the country.

Hence, she did not find them peculiar. She nodded and asked moments later, “When do you plan to fetch my mother back?”
