“Since I already know, I will be honest with you. I won’t help you with anything again. I’ll only give you a monthly allowance as usual, but it’s just for you. If you give the money to Wang Xiangyang, you will have to bear the consequences on your own. I won’t care about you.”
Although two thousand yuan wasn’t a lot, it was enough for Old Mrs. Wang to live alone. Therefore, Wang Yiming wouldn’t give her more. After all, he had his own family to support.
Anyway, Old Mrs. Wang wasn’t his biological mother, it was already very nice of him that he was willing to do that.
Even if Old Mrs. Wang was his biological mother, most people wouldn’t want to look after her given her behavior!
If Old Mrs. Wang treated him well, he would regard her as his biological mother even though she wasn’t.
Blood connection wasn’t that important. Their relationship was more important.
Hearing Wang Yiming’s words, Old Mrs. Wang was stunned.
Wang Yiming was aware that he wasn’t her biological son? How did he find out? Did Wang Xiangyang leak it?
Thinking of that, Old Mrs. Wang abruptly turned to look at Wang Xiangyang. Wang Xiangyang was surprised and didn’t know why his mother stared at him like that.
“What’s wrong?” asked Wang Xiangyang.
Old Mrs. Wang said nothing, but angrily replied to Wang Yiming. “Who told you that? It’s ridiculous.”
She refused to admit it, because she would be doomed if she did that.
“Someone sent me a voice recording of your conversation with Wang Xiangyang. You said it on your own. It’s useless even if you deny it now,” Wang Xiangyang said coldly.
“What? A voice recording? Who gave you that? Why does it even exist?” asked Old Mrs. Wang. She knew little about technology, so she couldn’t accept it.
Even if it really existed, she really hated the person who did that.
“It’s not important. Anyway, it’s useless even if you deny it now,” Wang Yiming said, then hung up on Old Mrs. Wang.
“You…” Old Mrs. Wang was furious.
“Mom, what happened?” asked Wang Xiangyang.
“Wang Yiming knows that he isn’t my biological son,” Old Mrs. Wang said, feeling helpless.
“What?” Wang Xiangyang was astonished. “How did he find out?”
“He said someone gave him a voice recording of our conversation. He found out from that,” Old Mrs. Wang said.
“What? Someone has a voice recording of our conversation?” Wang Xiangyang was angry. He was young, so he knew more about technology than his mother. He understood that it was possible, so he said in a voice thick with hatred, “Wang Yiming must have been suspicious of us long ago. He must have paid a hacker to listen to our calls.”
“What’s a hacker? How can they hear our conversation?” asked Old Mrs. Wang. She believed that only the two of them could listen to each other. How could another person hear their conversation?
“It’s due to technology. A hacker can get a lot of information using a computer,” Wang Xiangyang said.
“Really? I can’t believe it.” Old Mrs. Wang was amazed.
“It’s not important. What should we do now? If he doesn’t help me, do we have to sell the house?” Wang Xiangyang was irritated. He was really unwilling to sell the house. Although this house was old, it was near the city center.
“What can I do? We can only ask your uncle,” Old Mrs. Wang said in annoyance.
Upon hearing her mention Zhao Shanchuan, Wang Xiangyang was excited. “Can we borrow the money from uncle?”
“It’s a hundred thousand yuan, not ten thousand yuan. Your uncle doesn’t have so much money. Even if he does, he won’t lend it to us,” Old Mrs. Wang said in annoyance. She knew her younger brother very well.
She dared to force Wang Yiming to satisfy her needs using moral coercion, but Zhao Shanchuan was her biological younger brother, unlike Wang Yiming wasn’t her biological son, so she cared about Zhao Shanchuan’s feelings.
“Why? I’m his biological nephew. Could he be so cold-blooded too?” Wang Xiangyang said unhappily. He felt that his uncle should help him since they were relatives.
“Shut up, how could you judge your uncle like that? Hasn’t your uncle helped you enough?” Old Mrs. Wang snapped at Wang Xiangyang. She was grateful to Zhao Shanchuan for helping them, but wasn’t grateful to Wang Yiming. Instead, she took Wang Yiming’s help for granted.
Afterwards, she added. “I can ask him whether he can lend us some.”
Even if they could borrow some from Zhao Shanchuan, it wouldn’t be enough, because they didn’t have any savings. They needed someone who could lend a hundred thousand yuan to them.
Old Mrs. Wang called Zhao Shanchuan, but didn’t say that she wanted to borrow money from him right away. At first, she told Zhao Shanchuan that Wang Yiming had found out that he wasn’t her biological son, and that Wang Yiming would only give her a monthly allowance in the future. He wouldn’t help them with other things.
Saying that, Old Mrs. Wang was extremely displeased. She felt that Wang Yiming was too cold-blooded.
However, she never realized that her actions made Wang Yiming treat them like that.
“What? Wang Yiming already knows? How is that possible?” Zhao Shanchuan was also surprised, but he quickly accepted it because he knew that Wang Yiming would find out sooner or later.
Even if Wang Yiming didn’t know, he must have had doubts.
“He said someone sent him a voice recording of my conversation with Xiangyang. Xiangyang believes that he must have been suspicious of us long ago, so he paid a hacker to listen to our calls,” Old Mrs. Wang said. There was still dissatisfaction in her tone.
Zhao Shanchuan felt it was extremely funny. “I told you not to exploit Wang Yiming too badly, but you wouldn’t listen. Now the secret has been exposed and he won’t care about you. You deserve it!”
Honestly, Zhao Shanchuan felt no sympathy for Old Mrs. Wang, because she deserved it.
He had reminded her to be careful many times, but she never took it seriously.
“It has already happened now. How can you still blame me? Help me deal with it!” Old Mrs. Wang was quite irritated when Zhao Shanchuan criticized her.
“Isn’t it your fault? Did you take it seriously when I reminded you to be careful? You only call me when you’re in trouble. I can do nothing about it. You can deal with it by yourself.” Zhao Shanchuan was mad, so he hung up on Old Mrs. Wang even before she could ask him for money.
