Chapter 1352: Chapter 1348: Utterly Heartbroken
When Yang Caiyun heard the old lady’s words, she finally understood completely.
It’s not that they lack money; they’re simply unwilling to help.
Ultimately, Chen Yang was right; the old lady and Yang Zhiyong never saw her as one of their own.
They just treated her as a tool to bully.
When they have money, they come around under the guise of familial affection, seeking favors.
But when there’s a problem, they turn their backs coldly.
They even want to transfer ownership of the river fish restaurant just to lend a bit of money.
Understanding this, the last bit of familial attachment in Yang Caiyun’s heart was completely severed.
“Hehe, Mom, you really know how to calculate. I ask for money; you say you have none, but there’s money to buy a river fish restaurant for Zhiyong.” Yang Caiyun couldn’t help but let out a laugh, tinged with sarcasm.
Previously, the old lady was holding back her temper, but upon hearing this, she fully snapped.
“Yang Caiyun, what kind of tone is that when you speak to me? Your brother is not the same as you, is he? He’s the only heir of our Yang Family; my money will naturally go to him. Who do you think you are, daring to speak to me in that tone? Just tell us how much for the transfer, no need for additional nonsense.” The old lady articulated her true thoughts acrimoniously.
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhiyong smirked arrogantly but said nothing more, merely inquiring how much Caiyun wanted for the river fish restaurant.
Yang Caiyun felt extremely bitter inside and was now truly awake.
“How much can you offer?” Yang Caiyun asked with a bitter smile.
“Hmm…” Yang Zhiyong thought for a moment, then consulted with the old lady, eventually offering 450,000 yuan.
“This amount should be enough to pay off your debts. What do you think?” Yang Zhiyong said with a smile.
Upon hearing 450,000, Yang Caiyun could only smile bitterly inside.
They can offer this much but won’t lend her a penny.
There’s really nothing more to say.
“450,000 is too low; forget it. There’s no need for you to buy it.” Wanting to end the charade, Yang Caiyun decided to straightforwardly refuse and let the matter rest.
But Yang Zhiyong and the old lady took her seriously.
They thought that since Caiyun was bankrupt, the river fish restaurant would have to be sold, and they shouldn’t let an outsider have it—it’s got to stay within the family.
“Yang Caiyun, what are you saying? Zhiyong is your own brother; how much more do you expect when transferring it to him? It’s good enough to settle your debts; don’t be too greedy.” The old lady said discontentedly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh out of anger.
The old lady was truly shameless.
Just moments ago, she spoke so harshly, and now she’s playing the family card again.
Calling him her brother at every turn, she’s nothing but a leech.
And the funniest part is that she has the audacity to call Yang Caiyun greedy—utterly shameless.
“This river fish restaurant is worth at least a million; offering 450,000 is wishful thinking.” Unable to hold back, Chen Yang interjected.
These words seemed to hit Yang Zhiyong and the old lady where it hurt, causing them to bristle immediately.
“Can you shut up? This is my family matter; do you have to butt in? If you say one more word, I’ll knock your teeth out,” threatened Yang Zhiyong, furiously waving his fists at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang had ignored him several times before.
Now he’s getting more and more brazen.
“I don’t care how much this river fish restaurant is worth; I’m your brother. I can pay 450,000 right now—will you transfer it to me?” After scolding Chen Yang, Yang Zhiyong was quick to press Caiyun again.
It’s such a big benefit, he was not willing to give it up.
Yang Caiyun kept shaking her head with a bitter smile, “Don’t even think about it; I’ll find my own way to deal with the debts.”
Yang Caiyun’s heart was truly dead, so her tone became firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
When the old lady and Yang Zhiyong heard this, they naturally became furious.
Pointing at Yang Caiyun, they began a tirade of abuse and accusations.
Once again using the family card, threats, and intimidation.
Yet a heart-broken Yang Caiyun would not fall for any of their tricks anymore.
Her attitude was firm, a resolute “no” meant no.
“Don’t dream about this river fish restaurant; I will never sell it to you. And not just the restaurant; don’t expect any favors from me in the future either. As for our family ties, that’s up to you.”
“If you want to break ties, so be it. From now on, we are nothing to each other!”
Yang Caiyun’s attitude was resolute, and her tone turned impolite as she made herself clear.
The old lady still couldn’t understand why Yang Caiyun would act this way.
Facing Caiyun’s words, her instinct was to fly into a rage.
“Ha! Yang Caiyun, you’ve really grown wings, daring to speak to me like that? Do you have any conscience, you ungrateful wretch? You’re a natural-born scoundrel, a thankless creature…” ranted the old lady in her fury, pointing at Caiyun.
Yang Zhiyong, on the side, was equally angered, glaring coldly at Caiyun with rage.
“Sis, saying things like that is too much. After all, we’re a family; are you really so cold-hearted? You’d rather give it to someone else than transfer it to me?” Zhiyong was still unwilling to let go, continuing to play the emotional card with Caiyun.
But this tactic had completely lost its effect on Caiyun.
“Heh, calling me cold-hearted while talking about family? Do you have no shame? You clearly have money but refuse to help me—what right do you have to say such things now?” After her initial bitterness subsided, Yang Caiyun was left only with anger.
She stood up and loudly refuted Yang Zhiyong.
She also refuted the old lady at the same time.
“Mom, you’ve been biased since I was little, but I never thought you’d be this biased. I’m also your daughter—why is it that when I have a problem, you ignore me, even wanting to draw lines between us? How can you talk about familial love and not feel ashamed?”
Yang Caiyun loudly accused the old lady of favoritism.
Chen Yang and Yang Caiyun thought the old lady would be even more enraged.
But surprisingly, instead of flying into a rage, the old lady smirked coldly.
“Yang Caiyun, since you say this much, I have nothing more to say! I never saw you as a daughter! But I raised you! That’s indisputable! Today, either you transfer the river fish restaurant to Zhiyong,”
“Or you give me a sum of money to sever our mother-daughter ties! Otherwise, don’t think you’ll have peace!”
The old lady’s face was full of venomous spite.
At this moment, she completely tore off her mask, revealing her truest thoughts.
Her words were yet another heavy blow to the heartbroken Yang Caiyun.
“Fine, since it’s come to this, there’s nothing more to say. How much do you want? I’ll sever our ties.” Yang Caiyun was in tears, but her demeanor was free, decisively asking how much she wanted.
“I’m not asking for much, just 100,000! You give me 100,000 today, and there will be nothing between us anymore! Or transfer the fish restaurant!” The old lady also responded decisively.
In truth, the figure of 100,000 yuan was not her real intention.
She only felt that Caiyun was bankrupt and presumably couldn’t come up with any money, so she casually threw out a figure.
Thinking there was no point in being too particular about it, given that they aimed to get the river fish restaurant in the end, they didn’t care about anything else.
