Ye Qing's mother's suicide was spread all over county town in her past life. Her husband had suffered such a downfall and was unable to get up after that. He ended up becoming addicted to gambling. The family then relied solely on her taking up many jobs. She also had to work hard to pay off debts.

Even then, she didn't force her daughter to quit school. Also, because her daughter had pleaded with her so many times, she always tried to s save her daughter's face (pride).

Even though she could support this family of hers, she couldn't control her daughter's endless spending. An unreliable husband and an untrustworthy daughter pushed her onto the road to ruin.

Looking at this woman bowing and apologizing for her daughter, Jing Yunzhao was feeling complicated emotions. People who want a mother like this will never get one, yet people who do have one won't treasure them.

Due to Mother Ye's constant apologies, the Yang parents eased up a little, but they still haven't verbally forgiven them. They talked endlessly about how to teach a kid, and Mother Ye continued to agree without a hint of refuting. That Father Ye felt embarra.s.sed and left the room.

"Oh yeah, Aunty Ye, Ye Qing still hasn't paid the restaurant bill. The owner's here too, so why don't you pay if off to him later. It was her treat after all…" Jiang Xia reminded at an inappropriate time.

He looked at Mother Ye with a pair of curious eyes. He had his own calculations.

He wasn't in the position to say this, but he wanted to see if this Ye family was as prosperous as Ye Qing had said it to be.

Mother Ye's face turned pale, "Th-this… how much?"

"Not a lot. Half's already been paid. There's only ¥1,600 left," said Jiang Xia.

The other students' faces were already slightly red. That restaurant owner Li Shaoyun raised an eyebrow. He was looking at Jiang Xia as if he had discovered a previously unexplored land. He was pretty shocked too.

"Is there something wrong with his here?" Pointing at his head, he whispered to Jing Yunzhao.

Jing Yunzhao's mouth twitched, trying to hold back her laugh: "I guess."

Li Shaoyun smiled playfully, revealing an expression of sudden realization. He had both of his hands in his pockets, looking quite eye-catching.

The words "one thousand and six hundred" crushed Mother Ye's heart. Her eyes were red. She reached into her pockets but only pulled out a few hundred. The crowd looked and was only one step away from collapsing.

"Aunt Ye, Jiang Xia was just kidding. I've already paid. If you don't believe me, ask him…" Jing Yunzhao pointed at the man beside her but then paused. What was he called again?

"I am surnamed Li, Li Shaoyun," the man's lips curved, smiling.

"Yes, Owner Li would not ask for payment a second time," Jing Yunzhao added.

Beside them, Xiao Haiqing's eyebrows twisted and gave Jing Yunzhao a confused look. But when she saw her gentle eyes, she swallowed back her words. Honestly, even though she hated Ye Qing, looking at this distraught mother made her feel guilty.

Mother Ye's tears rolled down and quickly shoved the few hundred yuan into Jing Yunzhao's hands. "Um… I can't let you pay. I was in a rush today so I didn't bring that much. I'll pay you the rest later. Thank you…."

Jing Yunzhao understood that Mother Ye didn't admit that their family was bankrupt not because of her own face but because of Ye Qing's face.

"Oh yeah, the hospital fees…" Mother Ye suddenly remembered that fee and panicked. However, before she could finish her sentence, Li Shaoyun spoke, "The fees have been paid."
