Chapter 684: The Mother Exploiting Her Daughter

When he returned to school, Wei Deng was still a little dazed. He did not go to see the new house. He was immersed in the panic that the future property might not be his. Not only the house might not be his, but even the snack bar that was doing a booming business might not be his.

He had planned very well. He planned to find a leisurely job after graduation. His mother could make money at home, so he didn't have to worry about anything.

But now his mother told him that there is no reward without hard work, and if he insists on fighting, he may get nothing in the future. This makes him extremely angry. He is the only male in the family, so why can't she give him anything?
Give it to my sister? Even if my sister is filial and obedient, once she gets married, won't the property given to her sister become someone else's? Mom can take care of herself in her old age, which old person needs so much money for old age?
Although he thought so, when he saw the clothes and shoes his mother bought for his sister this year, as well as the gold and silver jewelry his mother bought for herself, he knew that his mother was no longer as frugal as before and would no longer leave everything to him.

Why did my mother’s thinking change after she became rich?
No wonder my mother started to limit her living expenses since last year. Is this because she realized that I haven’t changed and is slowly giving up on myself?

Wei Deng felt like he was having a hard time breathing. There was a large sum of wealth right in front of him, but he might not be able to get it in the future. This feeling was too uncomfortable.

At this moment, Wei Zhu sent him a message, which roughly meant that he should listen to his mother and that as long as his mother changed her mind about him, she would not give him nothing.

Wei Zhu was confused. Is it true?
Then I suddenly thought, didn't my mother dislike my sister before? Now that she cares so much about me, does she think my sister is the most reliable one? If I behave well and obediently, will my mother change her impression of me again?
Wei Deng felt that it was very possible. After all, he was his mother's biological son. It didn't make sense for her to give up on him so suddenly.

He suddenly regretted talking to his mother about his father's inheritance. Fortunately, he did not ask for a share of the money in the end, otherwise it might have been abandoned.

"Wei Deng, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that he looked a little strange, Mo Ru asked with concern.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about what birthday gift I should give my mother for her birthday." After saying that, Wei Deng suddenly came back to his senses. He only knew that his mother's birthday was in the second half of the year, but he didn't know the exact date. In all these years, he had never celebrated his mother's birthday! No wonder his mother was getting more and more disappointed in him!
Mo Ru nodded as a matter of course: "Aunt's birthday should be taken seriously. Is there anything that Aunt likes? I can give you some advice."

"I...I don't know."

"Then go ask your sister! She will definitely know."

"Well, I'll ask when I get back to the dorm."

Mo Ru was still muttering: "Flowers must be given, and a birthday cake, but the cakes made by Auntie herself are delicious, so she may not like those made outside. You can also give shoes, skin care products, etc. As long as you know what size Auntie usually wears and what skin care products she usually uses, that will be fine."

After hearing what she said, Wei Deng suddenly understood, otherwise he would not have known that there were so many things to give as gifts. And it was a good opportunity to take advantage of his mother's birthday to mend his relationship with her.

Mo Ru looked hesitant and expectant: "Wei Deng, it's Auntie's birthday this time, can I go and give her a birthday present?"

Wei Deng wanted to agree, but when he thought about his mother's disapproval of him finding a girlfriend too early, he shook his head and said, "It's not time for us to meet the parents yet. We have to wait until we get engaged before it's official."

Mo Ru was afraid that he was just playing around, so she kept asking, "I'm just going to say happy birthday to Auntie, what's the big deal? Am I so shameful? It's not like Auntie doesn't know I exist."

"It's not your problem, it's mine." Wei Deng's eyes were filled with guilt. "Mom thought I was too lazy before, so I just had an argument with her. I was afraid that if I took you there at this time, you would feel uncomfortable." "It's fine, why are you arguing with your aunt?"

Wei Deng naturally couldn't say that he was angry and might not be able to inherit the family property, so he could only vaguely say: "When there is a chance in the future, I will definitely take the initiative to take you to meet my mother."

Mo Ru looked at him suspiciously: "Then don't fool me next time. I'll let you off this time."

Song Xia herself didn't care about this birthday, but Wei Zhu and Wei Deng made good preparations. The birthday was celebrated in the new house. The soft furnishings had already been delivered. Wei Deng looked at it and wished he could live there every day.

He looked around his room and felt a little relieved. It seemed that his mother still gave him a chance, so he must behave well in the future.

The gifts Wei Deng gave were flowers and a pair of shoes. He spent a full thousand yuan on the shoes, and Wei Zhu told him the shoe size. Fortunately, he had a summer job, otherwise he would not be able to save up the money with his current monthly living expenses.

What Wei Zhu sent was a delicious meal she had prepared herself. She had learned a lot from him this year. Although she had not yet reached Song Xia's level, she had also achieved 80% success in kung fu.

There were no outsiders at this birthday party, not even Yue Ting was invited, it was just the three of them.

However, Song Xia's sister-in-law called from another number, but after wishing her a happy birthday, she immediately asked to borrow money. So Song Xia hung up without finishing her words and blocked her.

The kitchen and dining room of the new house are very large, because the entire first floor, except for a suite, is a public area. Song Xia and Wei Zhu's things were also moved in, so they no longer have to live in such a crowded house.

He didn't feel it before when he was renting a house, but now that he has his own room, it seems a bit cramped to go back. If it weren't far from the school, Wei Deng would have wanted to come back and live there every day.

He took many photos of the new house and not only posted them on social media, but also sent them to Mo Ru separately. Mo Ru liked it immediately and even imagined what it would be like to live there.

"This is the new house that Wei Deng's family bought in the provincial capital! It looks like a villa!" The roommate looked at Mo Ru with envy. The Wei Deng's family seemed to be getting better and better. Mo Ru really had good vision.

"The house is beautifully decorated, with a yard, balcony and terrace. It must have cost millions!"

Mo Ru said reservedly: "Wei Deng said that he bought an old house for renovation, which is cheaper than an ordinary villa."

"A lot of effort went into decorating this place. It must be comfortable to live in. Mo Ru, you can move in once you and Wei Deng graduate. Then you won't have to rent a house like us."

Mo Ru just smiled because she felt the same way.

However, she didn't know that this house, which Song Xia had decorated with great care, was for her own retirement. She left a room each for Wei Zhu and Wei Deng, only for short-term stays, and it was impossible for them to live there permanently, so her wish was doomed to fail.
