Chapter 97: Moral Kidnapping

Yan Qingruo finally understood what the Yan Family was up to—everyone here was putting on a show, and all these relatives were nothing but unpaid extras.

They were using morality to blackmail her, to willingly give up her money to "lend" to her father to pay off his debts, just so her grandmother wouldn't be hurt.

If she flatly refused, the label of being unfilial would be thrust upon her like a heavy hat, ready to fall on her head at any moment.

But once the money was "lent" out, it would certainly never return.

The familial affection in this house was so indifferent it was terrifying.

In their eyes, she was truly nothing but money.

And only when she had money did she have any value to them.

If the previous grievances she suffered in front of her family members had just left Yan Qingruo cold-hearted, then now, this poorly-acted drama they were putting on was enough to kill her spirit.
