"If you were like other people's mothers-in-law, it wouldn't be excessive to give you one hundred thousand a month, let alone one million a month. Moreover, I, Ye Chen, would even treat you like an empress dowager. But setting aside the fact that you've constantly forced Yinuo to divorce me, whenever Youyou ate an extra piece of sparerib or an extra egg at your place, you would fly into a rage and scream abuse at her. And this was even when Yinuo was subsidizing your household expenses every single month! The mother and daughter have never eaten, drunk, or lived for free at your place. Furthermore, when Youyou had a high fever and her condition was extremely critical, Yinuo wanted to borrow a few hundred yuan from you for the hospital, but you refused and said you had no money."
Ye Chen spoke very calmly, so calmly that it seemed devoid of any emotional fluctuation. "So, frankly speaking, giving you eight thousand a month for maintenance is not a small amount. It has already fulfilled the utmost filial piety. Of course, if you want to bring up the debt of raising a child, fine. Name a figure—a sum to completely sever ties. As long as it's reasonable and not too outrageous, I will pay it! From now on, we will walk our own paths to the grave and never cross paths again."
When Ye Chen reached this point, Liu Xueqin on the other end had already hung up the call.
