Chapter 1195: Chapter 1188: Parents Like These

”Ha, kill me by dropping me? Would you guys really kill me like that?”

Upon hearing Zheng Xiu’e’s words, a mocking smile appeared on Luan Hongyue’s face, her tone filled with sarcasm: ”I’m a woman, and I can bring you benefits, so you wouldn’t really kill me. I remember when I was sixteen, you planned to sell me for a hundred million, not caring if I would have a good future or be happy. But I was young then, just a girl with a head full of childish dreams, so you didn’t sell me.”

”Moreover, don’t forget how much money you’ve taken from me over the years, it must be in the billions! You’ve gained so many advantages by using my connections, I shouldn’t have to remind you about that, right? Why didn’t you say you’d kill me back then, but now you say it? Is it because you think I’m no longer useful, just a problem for you, so you’re planning to throw me away like a pawn?”

Seeing the mocking smile on Luan Hongyue’s face, Luan Aoxiong suddenly flared up with anger and shame: ”What did you say, say it again, do you believe I’ll kill you right now?”

”You won’t dare to kill me. You know very well that if you kill me, the Jiang Family won’t let you off, so you don’t dare to kill me. Rest assured, I’ll take responsibility for my actions alone; I, Luan Hongyue, won’t drag you into it. After all, you gave me life and brought me into this world.”

Luan Hongyue’s beautiful eyes turned dull, yet her face showed no emotion, as if her heart had turned to ash.

There’s no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

That’s the state of Luan Hongyue now. In the eyes of outsiders, she seemed to lead a glamorous life, experiencing things others could never enjoy and surrounded by countless admirers. But only she knew that she was just a pawn, a tool for making money and exchanging interests, barely getting any money from her own businesses—all the profits taken by her parents.

”I, Luan Hongyue, am not an ungrateful person. Rest assured, I will repay you with my life. After my death, I’ll give all my businesses, including the Red People Club and the Red People Western Restaurant, to you. Are you satisfied with this answer now?”

”Let’s hope so, Luan Hongyue. I’m warning you, don’t implicate the Luan Family. Otherwise, even if the Jiang Family spares you, I won’t let you off. Also, I’ve brought a lawyer today, he’s waiting outside, so quickly transfer the ownership of your businesses to me and your mother’s name,” Luan Aoxiong said harshly.

Luan Hongyue laughed upon hearing this, but her smile was filled with desolation. At this moment, her heart was entirely dead. Her parents didn’t care about her at all; they came only to reprimand and greedily seize her properties.

Luan Hongyue took a deep breath and said to Luan Aoxiong and Zheng Xiu’e: ”Don’t worry, I won’t take a penny of it. I just want to tell you that after today, regardless of my life or death, I will never step into the Luan Family again. I have no relations with you all...”

”That’s for the best.”

Before Luan Hongyue could finish, Zheng Xiu’e interrupted: ”From now on, no matter if you’re alive or dead, you have nothing to do with the Luan Family. You’re no longer one of us; everything you do is unrelated to the Luan Family. I discussed with your father last night, and we’ve already issued an official dispatch expelling you from the family. From now on, you’re no longer part of the Luan Family.”

Upon hearing these cold and ruthless words, Luan Hongyue’s body lightly trembled, but her face remained expressionless, only tears silently rolled down her cheeks.

This is her parents, who prioritize benefits above all else, viewing any family ties merely as tools for profit. They could even watch their own daughter die without any reaction.

Trying hard to suppress her sobs, Luan Hongyue walked step by step towards the exit of the hall.

Seeing Luan Hongyue about to leave, Luan Aoxiong hurriedly said: ”Stop, you haven’t signed the transfer agreement...”

”Don’t worry, before you came, I had already entrusted a lawyer to handle everything. Without exception, he should be waiting for you outside.”

As these words fell, Luan Hongyue didn’t stay and quickly ran outside; she didn’t want to stay here any longer, fearing she couldn’t suppress her sobs and she didn’t wish to show her weakness in front of these two.

Luan Aoxiong and Zheng Xiu’e acted as if they hadn’t seen Luan Hongyue, eagerly heading in another direction, planning to find Luan Hongyue’s lawyer to quickly transfer the ownership of her properties to themselves, indifferent to her life or death. As long as she doesn’t involve their family, that would be enough.

After running out of the Red People Club, Luan Hongyue sat in her car, unable to hold back any longer, she leaned over the steering wheel and cried loudly.

If the cold indifference she faced when seeking help over the phone last night only made her bitterly smile, then today, Luan Aoxiong and Zheng Xiu’e brought her heart-piercing pain, making her feel as if a knife was twisting into her deepest heart, causing heart-wrenching agony, leaving her breathless. If life could be lived again, she would rather choose being an ordinary person rather than a child of a family.

After a long time, Luan Hongyue finally stopped crying, looked at her red eyes in the rearview mirror, revealing a self-mocking smile, started her car, and left the Red People Club, heading towards the Jiang Family. She knew for sure that the Jiang Family and Wei Family might already be waiting for her there.

Looking at the rearview mirror as she drove away from the Red People Club, Luan Hongyue took a deep breath and exhaled, suddenly feeling her heart become lighter, no longer burdened by any oppressive feelings, as if the weight on her shoulders had vanished, lightening up all over.

”Perhaps this is the life I’ve truly wanted!”

A charming smile appeared on Luan Hongyue’s face; she was tired after all these years, finally free now without the Red People Club, without merciless parents. Finally, she is herself, even if just for a moment, but it’s enough. At least now, she feels like a human being, and not a tool for exchanging profits.
