Chapter 8

I punched him lightly. "You wish."

Larry said, "Yasmin, I want to give you a grand wedding."

"Oh my goodness, is this happiness?" I wondered.

Two days later, I received a call from Jack. "Yasmin, come to the hospital immediately. Dad was so angry with you that he had a heart attack."

This was their usual tactic. Every time I did something a little bit not to their liking, they would threaten me with fainting, hospitalization, and so on. But I wasn't going to fall for it anymore.

However, I still went to the hospital to see what else they would come up with.

The door of the ward was ajar. I saw through the crack that my father was lying on the bed. His face was ruddy and he was taking big bites of an apple. And he didn't look like a patient at all.

Jack was stirring up trouble and said, "Dad, Yasmin will be here soon, ask her to pay for Liam and Luna's interest classes, it costs twenty thousand dollars."

My mother said, "The money is not a problem at all. The important thing is that your sister is going to get married! Which means from now on, her house and salon will belong to someone else!"

My dad said, "No, we can't let her get married."

My mother said, "It must be that Turner guy who bewitched her. Yasmin used to be so obedient."

My father got excited and said, "If she dares to marry him, I will kill myself in front of her!"

Jack couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. "Why would she get married? It would be great if our whole family could be together. When she gets old, Liam and Luna will take care of her."

"Haha, thank you so much." I thought.

In my previous life, I treated Liam and Luna as my own children, but these two ungrateful little bastards kept saying, "We have our own parents, how can we have the energy to care about Aunt Yasmin?"

Yes, I was just an aunt, how could I expect them to take care of me? So I would not put any hope on them or give anything more to them.

Since I was already here, I went into the ward.

When my father saw me, he snorted, turned his face away and ignored me.

My mom sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Yasmin, look at you. You've made your dad so angry. We worked so hard to raise you, how could you be so obsessed with a man?"

Jack coughed lightly to remind her.

My mom continued. "Forget it. Now hurry up and pay for Liam and Luna's interest classes, it's more than twenty thousand dollars. Hurry up and transfer thirty thousand dollars to your brother."

I took out my phone from my bag, Jack's face lit up with joy, and my parents exchanged proud glances.

I calmly found a picture from my phone album and showed it to Jack. "This is the new car I've fallen in love with, it's three hundred thousand dollars. I've already paid for it and will pick it up next week. So I don't have any money now!"

Jack's face turned purple with anger. "Yasmin, why did you buy such an expensive car? What will we do? The expenses for a whole family are so high!"

I put away my phone and said, "You guys should take care of your own expenses. You are already over thirty years old. You need to know how to support a family."

My father completely forgot that he was pretending to be sick. He sat up suddenly and pointed at me. "You, you disobedient girl, so ungrateful."

I sneered. "Ungrateful? How much did you spend raising me? How much did I spend on you over these years? You can do the math yourself."

My father was so angry that he picked up the shoes under the bed and threw them at me. "You! Are you trying to piss me off to death?"

I dodged to the side, and my mother responded by howling, "What a sin! How could we have such an unfilial daughter!"

Lisa watched all this with cold eyes, she suddenly stood up, and yelled at Jack, "If you don't get her to pay for Liam and Luna's interest classes in the next two days, I will divorce you!"
