Chapter 1007: Disappointed to See Me Alive?
Don't say Yang Tao doesn't have a million, even if she did, she wouldn't give it to her mother.
Wang Chunhua angrily said, "Your brother is bearing the responsibility of carrying on the Old Yang Family line. Are you heartlessly going to let the Yang Family die out?"
"You're his sister, isn't it right and proper to help your brother get the bride price?"
Yang Tao started screaming hysterically, "What does it have to do with me whether the Old Yang Family dies out?"
"I'm also your daughter, but when have you ever cared about me once?"
"No, you've never cared about me even once. In your eyes, there's only that useless fool."
"Whether he can get a wife has nothing to do with me, and I won't give you a single penny."
"Don't call me anymore, even if you die, I will definitely not go back." Saying that, she hung up the phone and cried under the covers.
The grievance and helplessness in her heart destroyed her fragile mind at this moment.
Xu Wendong didn't know Yang Tao's plight.
However.
He heard Yang Tao's helpless weeping from the room.
This made him feel as if he were sitting on pins and needles.
"Why does she keep crying?" Xu Wendong was full of anxiety, fearing women's tears most, mistakenly thinking Yang Tao was scared and thus crying.
After hesitating, he finally got up and went to Yang Tao's room, only to see her curled up under the quilt, sobbing with her head covered.
Xu Wendong softly said, "Sister Taozi, if you're upset, just let it out. Whether it's hitting or scolding, I absolutely won't mind."
Yang Tao slowly lifted the quilt, revealing her eyes swollen from crying and a helpless expression.
She extended her arms and tightly hugged Xu Wendong.
Only at this moment.
Did her crying gradually subside, yet the scalding tears soaked Xu Wendong's clothes.
Xu Wendong was feeling tormented, as he could feel the softness in front of him and the enchanting fragrance from her.
After all.
Sister Taozi was not wearing clothes!
However.
He dared not have any improper thoughts, because he had frightened her earlier.
If not for that, she wouldn't be crying under the covers.
It was then.
Yang Tao's phone rang again, and seeing the number, she angrily grabbed the phone and shouted, "I've already said, don't expect to get a single penny from me."
A heavy voice came from the other end of the line: "Taozi, your mom's heart disease has flared up, and she's now fallen into a coma."
"I don't know if she'll wake up. If possible... come back once."
Her father's voice startled Yang Tao, revealing a look of shock in her eyes.
She knew her mother had heart disease, but never expected it would strike.
This weighed her heart with heaviness.
Because she knew, her words just now were too harsh, otherwise her mother wouldn't have had a heart attack.
Though she kept saying even if they died, she wouldn't return, she is still a member of the Yang family.
Blood ties remain, even if bones are broken, they're still connected.
"I got it, I'll take leave now and go back." Yang Tao hung up the phone with a pained expression.
"Sister Taozi, I'll go out first." Xu Wendong said awkwardly, realizing that Yang Tao wasn't crying because he frightened her.
Just as Xu Wendong walked out of Yang Tao's room, Jiang Xueyao happened to come out, having heard Yang Tao's crying earlier.
"What happened to Taozi?" Jiang Xueyao curiously asked.
Xu Wendong: "Seems like there's conflict with her family."
Jiang Xueyao nodded slightly, then went downstairs with Xu Wendong. Moments later, Yang Tao came down, eyes swollen, carrying her suitcase and wearing a floral dress.
She nervously looked at Jiang Xueyao: "President Jiang, there's some issue at home, I'd like to take leave to go back."
Jiang Xueyao asked, "If I recall correctly, your home is in Fujian Province, right?"
Yang Tao nodded: "Longyan County in Fujian Province."
Jiang Xueyao looked at Xu Wendong: "How about we go on a Special Forces trip?"
Xu Wendong couldn't help but say, "You want to accompany Sister Taozi to her old home?"
Jiang Xueyao shrugged: "Taozi is my employee, now something's up at her home, as the boss I can't just ignore it."
"Anyway, with nothing else going on, might as well take a look."
She genuinely liked Yang Tao, otherwise she wouldn't have supported her as her secretary.
Nor would she let her become her caretaker after resigning.
"Alright!" Xu Wendong readily agreed, although Magic Capital is over a thousand kilometers from Longyan, this distance doesn't bother him at all.
"Thank you, President Jiang." Yang Tao felt extremely grateful, not expecting Jiang Xueyao willing to go with her.
With her there, Yang Tao felt much more secure.
"Thank Wendong instead, as he's the one driving." Jiang Xueyao smiled brightly, "I'll head upstairs to pack, we'll depart for Longyan in ten minutes." She turned, walking elegantly and charmingly, heading upstairs.
Yang Tao's eyes were full of gratitude: "Wendong, thank you."
Xu Wendong smiled and scratched his head: "As long as you're not mad at me for losing my composure earlier."
Yang Tao smiled warmly: "I won't."
She understood.
The previous situation wasn't entirely Wendong's fault.
Had she not asked him for help.
And had she not been without clothes.
He wouldn't have reacted like that.
Ten minutes later.
Xu Wendong drove Jiang Xueyao's Mercedes away from Chongming Island, first filling the car with fuel after leaving the island.
Then he entered the address of Yang Tao's home into the GPS.
Covering a total distance of 1,085 kilometers, estimated to arrive in eleven hours.
"Ladies, please fasten your seatbelts. Next stop, Longyan County." Xu Wendong said with a smile, then began the long eleven-hour journey.
Though the GPS indicated it would take eleven hours to reach Longyan County, this assumes no sleep, rest, food, or drink.
While Xu Wendong could go without sleep, rest, food, or drink, there were two ladies in the car.
He needed to consider their comfort, stopping at large service areas for them to stretch and eat.
Thus, the journey expected to take eleven hours ended up taking fifteen.
Arriving in Longyan was already eight the next morning. Yang Tao's home was located in a remote village in Longyan County.
Thankfully, the village had paved cement roads last year, otherwise regular cars couldn't reach it.
"Mom!"
Just getting out of the car, Yang Tao burst into tears, running toward the house ahead.
She had previously asked her father on the phone, learning her mother had returned home.
So.
In her mind, her mother hadn't survived, otherwise she wouldn't have been sent home.
But just as she was about to enter the house, a petite, dark-skinned middle-aged woman walked out without expression.
Yang Tao's pupils trembled: "Mom, you're still alive?"
Wang Chunhua expressionless: "Seeing me alive, are you disappointed?"
