After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

After Chapter 740, I am no longer Xia Lu.
Upon learning that Xia Quan had confessed to his crimes, Xia's mother turned deathly pale, her vision went black, and she fainted.

The couple had no interest in paying attention to the fact that Xia Lu's biological family had come looking for them, and they consulted a lawyer overnight.

Hearing that compensation and obtaining a letter of understanding were crucial, the couple went to the bank early in the morning to withdraw 100,000 yuan and went to the hospital to find Wei Aocong's parents.

"One hundred thousand yuan?" Wei's mother grabbed the bag of money and threw it on the ground, angrily saying, "Is my Congcong's eyes only worth one hundred thousand yuan? Your family is disgusting!"

"No, Ao Cong's mother, we didn't mean to disgust you." Xia's mother suppressed her surging dissatisfaction and explained in a gentle voice, "This 100,000 yuan is all our family's savings. Taking it all out to compensate Ao Cong is enough to show our sincerity!"

"Sincerity? Is this your sincerity?" Wei Ma sneered. "You want compensation but are unwilling to pay, is that it? Let me tell you, unless you gouge out one of Xia Quan's eyes yourselves, there's no point in talking!"

Xia Zhiwei frowned, looking troubled. "Mrs. Wei, are you joking? What kind of situation is this?"

"If you don't want to, then get out!" Wei's mother said sternly, shooing them away. "Don't disturb my son's rest!"

"Ao Cong's mother, do you think 100,000 is too little?" Xia's mother was holding back her anger for her son's sake. "Then you can just say how much money you want."

"Wouldn't that be extortion?" Wei Ma scoffed, then emphasized seriously, "We don't want money, we just want Xia Quan to be held accountable for his actions! Let him be sentenced however he deserves!"

Xia Zhiwei and his wife wanted to say something more, but Wei's mother threw a stool at them and drove them out of the ward.

Stepping out of the ward, Xia's mother said anxiously, "They must think that 100,000 yuan is too little. What should we do? Xiao Quan can't go to jail!"

Xia Zhiwei frowned, seemingly deep in thought.

Xia's mother said urgently, "How about we take out the remaining tens of thousands of yuan and borrow some more to make up two hundred thousand?"

The lawyer said that compensation and obtaining forgiveness are crucial, and that it might be possible to secure probation.

Xia Zhiwei sighed, "That's all we can do."

The two split up to borrow money, and it was already evening when they got home.

Seeing Xia Lu standing at the door, Xia's mother was immediately furious. "It's all your fault! You can't help at all!"

She doesn't even pretend anymore.

Looking at her mother's fierce expression, Xia Lu pursed her lips and said, "Dad, Mom, I... I'm not your biological daughter, am I?"

"You're here to collect a debt!" Xia's mother was seething with anger. "You're of no help to this family at all!"

Xia Zhiwei's attitude was more amiable. "What are your thoughts now?"

"I just want to use 100,000 yuan to compensate those three sisters from yesterday," Xia Lu said in a muffled voice. "I don't want to go to jail."

She lowered her head and explained, "My biological family said they would help me pay 100,000 yuan, but on one condition... they want me to sever all ties with this family."

Upon hearing this, Xia's mother's eyes lit up, and a certain thought flashed through her mind.

She reached out and tugged at Xia Zhiwei's sleeve, pulling him aside to whisper something.

After the couple finished their private conversation, Xia's mother walked up to Xia Lu and put on a kind and gentle expression. "Lu Lu, are you really going to cut ties with us for 100,000 yuan?"

"I'm sorry, I had no other choice." Xia Lu lowered her head, unwilling to meet her gaze.

"Lulu, do you know what happened to Xiao Quan?" Xia's mother said, her voice choked with emotion. "His situation is much more serious than yours."

Xia Lu pursed her lips, remaining silent. "Lulu, are your biological family members well-off?" Xia's mother asked.

Xia Lu shook her head, "It's not that great either; 100,000 yuan is all their savings."

A flash of displeasure crossed Xia's mother's face, followed by a sorrowful expression. "Lulu, you certainly don't want anything to happen to your brother, right?"

Xia Lu fell silent again.

Xia's mother felt a tightness in her chest for no reason, and said while suppressing her anger, "Actually, we really hate to part with you. We've worked so hard to raise you all these years, providing for your food, clothing, and education. Everything we do costs money."

Xia Lu suddenly looked up at her, "You can say what you want to say directly."

Xia's mother stared blankly into her calm eyes, then sighed, "Alright, we're all family, so I won't beat around the bush."

“Xiao Quan is currently detained. Your father and I are trying to gain the understanding of the other party’s family. We need to raise enough compensation money to try to get a lighter sentence.”

"We just borrowed money from all over the place, and we only managed to get 50,000 yuan. We're still short a lot of money."

Xia Lu blinked. "I see."

Both Xia's mother and Xia Zhiwei were taken aback, probably not expecting her reaction to be so cold.

"Xia Lu, this is your younger brother!" Xia's mother said unhappily, "Why didn't you say a single word of concern?"

Xia Lu smiled and said, "Yesterday, when someone came to my door demanding a debt, what did you say when I begged you to lend me money?"

Xia's mother was speechless for a moment, and after several seconds she retorted, "How can these be the same? Xiao Quan's matter is more serious."

“It’s not because his situation is more serious,” Xia Lu said directly. “It’s because he is your own son, and his situation is more important.”

Xia's mother opened her mouth, but in the end she could only manage to say, "After all, you are his sister. Ask your own family to help out too. Give them an extra 100,000 yuan to help Xiao Quan."

Xia Lu's eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked at her in disbelief. "Do you know what you're saying?"

"We've raised you for so many years, and we've done so much for you," Xia's mother said, her voice choked with emotion. "We've spent more than 100,000 yuan on you!"

Xia Lu found it both funny and ironic.

More than 100,000?

She may have had a good period when she first came to this family, but since her parents had Xia Quan, her quality of life has been greatly reduced.

She was very sensible and never dared to make a fuss. She would only buy clothes once every two or three years. After she grew up, she didn't need to buy any more clothes; she was simply given the old clothes that Xia Quan had replaced.

More than 100,000; she truly admired the other party for being able to say it.

Seeing that she remained silent, Xia's mother rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't you just say that your family gave you 100,000 yuan to cut ties with this family?"

Xia Lu said calmly, "Yes, I came here to inform you of this matter. From now on, I am no longer Xia Lu."

"You can sever ties if you want," Xia's mother said, her eyes gleaming with calculation. "Have your family give us 100,000 yuan as compensation, or we'll keep pestering you!"

Xia Lu looked at her, her face full of disbelief and shock. "This is impossible. They don't have that much money. They used all their money to compensate me."

“Then you can let them take out the loan!” Xia’s mother said confidently. “It would be a piece of cake for several people to take out a loan of 100,000 yuan together.”
