"If you were like other mothers-in-law, not to mention a hundred thousand a month, even a hundred million a month wouldn't be too much, and I, Ye Chen, would even treat you like the Old Buddha and wait on you hand and foot. But putting aside the fact that you've constantly forced Yinuo to divorce me, every single time Youyou ate an extra piece of spare rib or an extra egg at your place, you would scream at her and curse her out. And that was even when Yinuo was subsidizing your household expenses every month—those two, mother and daughter, never got a free meal or a free night's shelter from you! Furthermore, when Youyou had a high fever and her condition was extremely serious, Yinuo wanted to borrow a few hundred yuan from you for the hospital, and you refused, saying you had no money."
Ye Chen spoke very calmly, so calmly that there wasn't a single ripple of emotional fluctuation. "So, honestly speaking, giving you eight thousand a month for support is not a small amount. It has already fulfilled my utmost filial duty. Of course, if you want to bring up the obligation of raising us, fine. Name a figure—a lump sum to completely sever all ties. As long as it's reasonable and not too outrageous, I'll pay it! From now on, we'll walk our separate paths and never cross them again."
When Ye Chen said this, Liu Xueqin on the other end had already hung up the phone.
