Chapter 3

Haha, they could really think.

I squatted down with a smile. "Sweetie, don't make a fuss. Ask your parents to buy whatever you want, after all you are their treasures. And I will have my own treasure in the future."

Lisa's face looked very unpleasant, and she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth. "You are already forty, who would want you?"

I stood up and said, "Yes, in order to make money for you, I'm already forty and haven't gotten married. Don't forget that I was the one who paid for your engagement gift, but now you are saying no one wants me because I am too old!"

Jack said, "Yasmin, why are you bringing up things that from years ago? Go and return them."

I stood there without moving, and my mother came over and pulled me. "Yasmin, hurry up!"

I shook her hand off. "No, you guys can buy a house for Jack if you want, I won't. I'm not his mother!"

My dad finally yelled at me, "Go and return them! Or get out of here!"

I said, "I get out? I shouldn't be the one to get out. I bought this house!"

Jack said, "Yasmin, how could you say that? You bought this house for Mom and Dad, they have the right to do this."

I said, "Okay, I'm leaving then! I wish you guys happiness, and don't come to me ever again!"

After saying that, I went into my room and packed my things. A few minutes later, I came out with a suitcase.

My father almost fainted with anger. I had never disobeyed his orders like this before. He pointed at the door and said, "Get out! If you dare to leave, don't regret it!"

Regret? They should be the ones who regret it.

I strode out and no one tried to stop me.

When I got to the door, I heard Jack say to my father. "Dad, don't get too angry. Yasmin will come back to apologize in a few days."

Yes, I was a bootlicker of my parents in my previous life. In order to get their smiles, I obeyed them and only hoped to get a little love and care from them.

I wouldn't need to in this life!

Because through the miserable experience in my previous life, I finally understood that it was useless to please people who didn't care about you! It was better to completely give up asking for their love and love yourself.

When I got out of the door, tears flowed down my face.

Just because I spent my own money to buy myself gifts, they were so intolerant. In their eyes, I was just a tool to make money, and there was no love to me!

When I was a child, the things my parents said to me most often were: Your brother is the root of our family, you must protect him and love him!

But who in this family loved me?

I'd better say goodbye to the so-called family. I had given them enough and I had to live my own life in the future.

After moving out, I stayed in my beauty salon for a few days. I spent time checking houses during the day. I had never been so eager to buy a house of my own.

My parents asked me to buy a house for Jack. I didn't dare to disobey, so I had already prepared the money.

Fortunately, they had looked at several houses but hadn't decided yet. Now it was the perfect opportunity to buy a house for myself with this money.

I quickly booked a newly renovated house of 120 square meters in the city center for 1.5 million dollars.

On the day of payment, I actually saw Jack and Lisa. They were looking at the houses.

The house I bought was in a high-end residential area, and there was a payment ceremony at the sales office. After I paid the money, I took a photo with the sales staff and the manager on the stage. And the music attracted everyone's attention.
