Chapter 285: Problems in That Regard

She had clearly seen that Kong Nuo was about to invite her to a movie, yet she remained so indifferent; was he still angry?

Just because she had bitten him that one time?

Bai Mo could not understand.

"Fine," Jiang Sinian said in a hoarse voice.

Being sick these past two days had made him realize many things, the most important being that what one likes is not necessarily what is suitable.

That was exactly how it was between him and Bai Mo.

Once, he had liked Bai Mo, but now, after experiencing certain things, he found that those feelings of affection had hidden themselves away somewhere, to the point where he could hardly find them anymore.

Breaking up was for the best; since he was little, his Little Mother had taught him self-respect and self-love, and now with the College Entrance Examination only a few months away, it was time for him to focus his mind.

"What did you say?" Bai Mo was extremely shocked.

She found it hard to believe that Jiang Sinian had just agreed to the breakup without trying to hold onto her.

"I said fine, let's break up."

This time Bai Mo heard it clearly, and her lips began to tremble slowly.

She heard her own stubborn voice, "Jiang Sinian, don't you regret this."

After saying that, she ran out.

Kong Nuo chased after her as she left.

"Sister," he prepared to play the family card first to close the distance with Bai Mo, "don't be upset anymore, Jiang Sinian isn't worthy of you."

The only one who could be worthy of his sister was him.

Slap—

Bai Mo raised her hand and slapped him across the face, "You're even less worthy!"

She vented all the anger she hadn't been able to express in front of Jiang Sinian onto Kong Nuo.

"Who wants to go to the movies with you? It's disgusting!"

Bai Mo tore the movie ticket Kong Nuo had just handed her into shreds.

Kong Nuo felt a pang of heartache for that movie ticket.

His mother worked herself to the bone for a month just to earn eighteen hundred yuan, and two movie tickets cost one hundred and twenty yuan.

He had even lied to Lin Meixi, telling her he wanted to invite Jiang Siyu to the movies, before his mother had given him the money.

But at this moment, he couldn't spare the time to feel the heartache.

Because just now, his sister had touched his face; it felt so good~

But his sister had also called him disgusting, and Kong Nuo felt a bit miserable inside; with pain suppressing his excitement, he was entirely conflicted.

Watching Bai Mo's retreating back, he thought, if only he could hide his sister away so that she belonged only to him forever and ever.

At this moment, two men walked out from the shadows, their arms tattooed with dancing dragons, and asked Kong Nuo, "When are we making a move?"

"No need."

He had spent a large sum of money, originally intending to give Jiang Sinian a knife wound, but he hadn't expected Jiang Sinian and Bai Mo to break up today.

Lucky for him.

"Then what about the money we agreed on?"

Kong Nuo pulled one or two hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to them like a big spender.

He had discovered this money in a high spot in the wardrobe; there was quite a lot, and he figured his mother had put it there and forgotten about it.

So whenever he wanted to use it, he would pull out a couple of bills, and he had been living quite lavishly lately; people at school were even calling him Brother Kong.

His mother was really something, having money at home but being unwilling to spend it on him.

……

"How could it be missing?" Lin Meixi wondered, confused; more than half of the money she had placed on top of the wardrobe was gone.

She searched the entire wardrobe but couldn't find it.

This money was what she had saved up for her son to see a specialist for his male health issues.

Her son had had problems there since he was little, which might affect his fertility in the future.

She figured that when the father and son of the Kong Family were alive, they had played around too much with such things, so the retribution had fallen upon their descendants.

She had finally managed to save up this money with great difficulty, but now it was gone.

Lin Meixi thought of Shen Chi; could it be that Shen Chi had found this place again and stolen the money?

After all, she knew her own son; he was honest and sensible, and although his grades weren't good, his character was upright, so it was absolutely impossible for him to steal her money.

When Lin Meixi went to find him, Shen Chi was still selling fruit near the train station, with a few customers gathered around.

Without a word, she slapped Shen Chi across the face.

"You shameless thing! Give my money back!"

The people buying fruit saw there was a scene to watch and immediately stopped picking fruit, stepping back a few paces to make it easier to watch the show.

"You idiot! I'll f*** your mother's..."

Shen Chi didn't put up with her; he dropped the fruit stand and dragged her to the side to give her a beating.

"Hitting me? We're already divorced, I don't have to take your crap anymore!"

"What an unreasonable shrew!"

Shen Chi scolded and beat Lin Meixi, feeling fortunate that his daughter Bai Mo hadn't inherited this kind of behavior from Lin Meixi.

Instead, she was well-read, sensible, and well-behaved.

Although she was a bit willful, that was all the fault of Lin Meixi and Li Xuan for sending her to the Fuliyuan back then.

If he, her father, had been by her side to take care of her, Bai Mo's personality would definitely be much better than it was now.

"The money in my wardrobe really wasn't taken by you?"

Lin Meixi took a beating, and her mind cleared up a bit.

Deep down, she believed a little more that it might not have been Shen Chi who took it.

Although Shen Chi had spent her money when he was a freeloader in the past, he had indeed never taken it secretly.

Usually, he would just beat her up, and she would obediently hand over the money.

"Then where did my money go?" Lin Meixi asked with a bitter face.

"Go home and ask that good-for-nothing son of yours!" Shen Chi mocked, "And here I thought he was just a child who didn't know anything."

"I'm warning you, I don't care what he does, but if he dares to mess with my daughter again, I'll kill him! Don't forget I've been to prison; I'm capable of anything!"

Lin Meixi was frightened by his fierce gaze and took two steps back, "You, don't do anything reckless. I've already told Xiao Nuo that he and Bai Mo are biological siblings; he will definitely listen to me and won't act out. Don't touch him!"

"In your eyes, there is still only that good-for-nothing son of yours. Momo is your daughter too!"

Shen Chi felt frustrated that she wouldn't live up to his expectations; he blamed Lin Meixi for the fact that their daughter was currently unwilling to acknowledge them.

This damn woman only knew how to revolve around her idiot son all day and had never cared about their daughter.

But fortunately, their daughter had him. Once he saved up enough money, he would buy their daughter a house. When she saw his dedication then, she would surely be willing to acknowledge him.

Now, he no longer hoped to fight Bai Jia Fumu for Bai Mo; he just wanted to be a father who cared for her silently.

"Bai Mo has so many people who love her," Lin Meixi said with flickering eyes, "but my son only has me."

She prepared to go back and ask her son if he had touched that money.

On the way home from school, Kong Nuo prepared to find an opportunity to invite his sister to the skating rink.

But his sister looked like she was in a very bad mood.

So, he prepared to wait until there were fewer people to bring it up.

Before he even reached the corner, he saw his mother hurrying toward him, and she asked him as soon as they met, "Xiao Nuo, did you touch the money in Mom's cabinet?"

Kong Nuo immediately felt humiliated and became angry at once, violently shaking her off, "I didn't touch it! What nonsense are you spouting?"

"That was money Mom had prepared to take you to the hospital for urology," as soon as Lin Meixi said this, Kong Nuo's classmates were instantly laughing like crazy.

"Urology? Kong Nuo has a problem in that department?"

"No wonder I always felt he was gloomy and feminine, just like those eunuchs in TV dramas!"
