Chapter 496 - 496 496 Bastard (8)_1

496: Chapter 496: Bastard (8)_1 496: Chapter 496: Bastard (8)_1 Yang Dongshi, upon hearing Yang Ruxin’s voice within the house, felt a rush of trepidation and shrank herself into a corner, fearing her approach.

Initially, her intention was to inspire sympathy in the Boss’s family so they would take pity and allow all three of them to stay.

However, she hadn’t expected Yang Dani to be so heartless.

The fortune that struck next provided her a chance to leave her little girl at their house, all for the sake of unburdening herself from raising her.

The wellbeing of the Big House’s family had obviously improved, and she could see it.

If Erya stayed, she would surely bask in the Light.

At the very least, she wouldn’t need to worry about her child’s necessities before marriage, and perhaps not even the dowry.

Being her mother, she believed that her daughter wouldn’t neglect her in the future.

Her plans were meticulously laid, but she hadn’t anticipated Yang Dani coming after them in less than two days.

Although Yang Dongshi felt uneasy, she still had to get up and open the door: “Dani has arrived, take a look.

I’ve been tending to your fourth uncle, and I’ve just dozed off from exhaustion…”

“Well, it’s good you’re awake now,” Yang Ruxin smiled.

“Your little girl is still at my house.

When will you pick her up?”

“Dani, look at this…” Yang Dongshi’s face turned into a bitter expression.

“With your uncle in this condition, I really can’t take care of it all…”

“If you can’t handle it, just say so.

But to do so silently and act as if it’s to be expected, isn’t that a bit too much?” Yang Ruxin smiled briefly.

“After all, we don’t have much of a relationship…”

“You…”

“I’ll let the past few days slide, but starting from today, every day your girl stays at my house, you’ll have to pay for her food,” Yang Ruxin narrowed her eyes slightly.

“Considering we’re at least both part of the Yang family, ten copper coins a day seems fair…”

“Ten copper coins?” Dongshi exclaimed, “You…

you might as well rob someone…”

“Is that so?” Yang Ruxin’s expression darkened.

“Then take her back right away.”

“How can you be so heartless?” Dongshi cried out.

“She’s your own cousin.

What’s the big deal about looking after her for a few days?

Father, please reason with her…”

“So, I should take care of your child simply because it’s my obligation?” Yang Ruxin was almost amused by the anger.

“Where did you get that gall from?”

“I…”

“Dani, how can you be so ruthless?

Aren’t we family, with ties that bind deeper than broken bones?” Yang Peili had not expected Yang Ruxin to be so cold, “You…”

“Favors?” Yang Ruxin turned to look at Yang Peili.

“And you think you’re worthy?”

“Yang Dani!” Yang Peili roared with anger and barked sharply.

“You’re defying your elders.

Do you think I’m afraid to discipline you?

Today, I…” As he spoke, he rushed forward, his hand raised to hit.

Zhou Xiao was about to step forward but then saw how Yang Ruxin effortlessly caught the old man’s wrist, reassuring him.

“I call you ‘grandfather’ for the sake of respect, don’t fail to understand your place.

Don’t force me to get physical,” Yang Ruxin said, pushing Yang Peili to the side with one swift motion.

Stumbling a bit, the old man steadied himself against the wall before managing to stand firm.

However, his heart was deeply startled; the girl’s grip was too strong.

His entire arm had gone numb from her simple squeeze.

“And for you,” Yang Ruxin glanced at Dongshi, “I’m giving you one last night.

If you don’t come for her or send the money by tomorrow, I will bring her to you…” With those words, she turned to leave.

“Yang Dani, would you rather care for two bastards than your own cousin?

Is your heart made of stone?” Dongshi’s frustration boiled over, and she blurted out without thinking, “Are you even human?”
