Like a dying traveler who has been trekking in the desert for many days and finally sees lights in the distance, the woman stared at the small screen, counting one by one quickly and seriously, as if she was afraid that the lights would go out in the next second.

"one two three four five six seven……"

She swallowed hard, her face flushed, as if she was afraid she was dreaming. She rubbed her eyes vigorously with her wine-soaked hands, and tried to move her face closer, and counted again:

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven!!!"

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven!"

“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven!!!”

The woman excitedly looked at the girl, then at the screen. After repeating this several times, she finally managed to utter a voice with her throat tightened with excitement: "Really? It's really yours? You...you have so much money?!!!"

By the end of her speech her throat was broken and made a sharp, piercing sound like a rooster's crow.

The girl frowned imperceptibly and made a "tsk" sound, then smiled gently when the woman trembled and tried to take the phone. With a move of her fingers, the ordinary black phone passed by the woman's hand and turned into her palm.

"They're on my card, in my phone, and of course they're my money." The girl glanced at the woman, holding up her face and smiling slightly, "How is it? You're not worried about not having enough money to treat your illness, are you?"

"Don't worry!" the woman said immediately, "Don't worry! Don't worry! You..."

She was so excited that her whole face turned red and her hands were shaking slightly: "Are you really willing to use this money to treat my illness?"

"Of course." The girl said, "It's not impossible to give you all of them. After all, I have more than one card."

“All…” The woman stood there stiffly. “Give me all?”

"Yes, after all, you are my biological mother. You gave me a life, so no matter how much money I give you... it's all my due, right?"

The girl's gaze was leisurely, and her tone was also leisurely.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded: "Yes! That's right! I was pregnant for ten months and worked so hard to give birth to you..."

As she spoke, the woman actually started to cry. She talked about the hardships she experienced during her pregnancy, how she had to work with a big belly in the hot summer, how she had to eat hard for the baby even though she was sick from morning sickness...

Ye Kong watched silently, frowning slightly, with some confusion in his eyes.

Then she quickly opened another can of beer and handed it over: "Okay, okay, all the hard times are over. We are now reunited as mother and daughter, and I am so rich, you will only have a good life in the future."

The woman seemed to wake up from a difficult dream. When she looked up, she saw not the beautiful smiling face of the girl, but a string of zeros on the screen of her mobile phone.

She became excited again, nodding her head repeatedly as she took the can of wine, tilting her head back and drinking it all down her throat. She became even more intoxicated: "You, you kid, are unexpectedly capable... You are so amazing, so great..."

The girl sat cross-legged beside her, sipping her wine slowly. After she had praised him for a long time, she said slowly, "Look, I'm so rich, can I take you to Yuzhou for treatment and living in the future?"

"Yuzhou?" The woman who had the special button pressed again still shook her head fiercely, "No! Yuzhou is not an option! I can go to another city, but let me think, where should I go? It should have good medical conditions, be suitable for recuperation and living, and preferably, it should be far away from Yuzhou..."

"..."

As she talked to herself, the girl slowly turned the beer can in her palm and compromised in a slow voice: "Okay, we'll go wherever you say... But," she asked softly with her eyelids drooping, "Besides you, do I have any other relatives? Like brothers and sisters? If they are not doing well or are poor, can I help them a little?"

"Poor?" The woman's head moved, and a look of strong contempt appeared on her red and thin face: "How can I be poor? Don't be complacent just because you have this little money! Do I still need your help? Hahaha..."

She shook her head with a laugh: "Even if there are two more zeros on your card, she will be the only one to help you!"

"..."

Ye Kong was silent.

The small table over there, which had been making noises, also fell silent.

In the night, the cicadas chirp loudly, constantly drilling into people's ears.

In this sudden long silence, the woman gradually realized that something was wrong. She turned her head little by little and looked at the girl stiffly like a robot.

But the girl just stared at her in silence, without smiling, and her face, which was already very distant, suddenly became unpredictable.

The woman panicked. She thought of the zeros on her phone, her eyes rolled around, and she tried desperately to find an explanation, but her mind was too confused and she couldn't find a suitable explanation for a long time.

Fortunately, the next moment, she heard the girl's light laughter: "From what you said, I really have a sister or a brother?"

She took a piece of watermelon from the table and took a bite. "Are they living well? That's really good..."

The woman's breath that had been hanging in her chest suddenly relaxed.

The relief of surviving a disaster almost made her cry: "Yes, yes, you have a... a half-sister."

Following the girl's words, she started thinking more than ever before: "She, she lives in Yuzhou. Because her father is very rich, she lives a good life, but... but she is not very filial. If she hadn't refused to treat my illness, I wouldn't have come to find you..."

If she hadn't been so drunk, she would have found loopholes everywhere in her words.

Unfortunately, her brain was only strong enough for her to come up with this line of speech, and she didn't even have the energy to review it.

As for the girl's strange attitude of turning a blind eye to these loopholes, she would be even less aware of it.

Ye Kong looked at her and opened another can of wine for her. He said curiously, "However, if her father is so rich, he can just give you some to treat your illness..."

As she spoke, she seemed to doubt: "Could it be... that you actually misunderstood? Her father is not that rich at all. Maybe she herself is not living well."

She said with disdain: "Maybe her family is not as rich as me. After all, I have tens of millions on one card, and I earned it all by myself. From this point of view, she is definitely not as powerful as me, and she doesn't live as well as me..."

"How is that possible!" the woman spitted and retorted excitedly, "You don't understand anything! You don't know anything! What's your little money? Any bag of hers costs millions! Her father's car costs tens of millions, and they have more than one of these cars!"

The girl curled her lips and said, "Just brag. Who is so rich? They have tens of millions of cars and more than one."

"I'm telling the truth!" The woman's eyes widened in anger.

“Even in Yuzhou, there aren’t many people who are this wealthy, unless she’s from a wealthy family.”

"She is from a wealthy family! She is the daughter of the Ye family! She is the real phoenix in the golden nest! She is the eldest daughter of a golden branch and jade leaf!"

The moment the words came out of her mouth, a click sounded in the woman's head.
