"You owe Henry, that scumbag, more than 200 million dollars?"
Christina overheard May's telephone conversations with her mom. Except for the over 200 million dollars, it seemed that her mother want to ask further for compensation for the breakup from her ex-boyfriend, Henry.
After hanging up the phone, May looked embarrassed.
She sighed quietly and spoke for Henry, "Henry is not a scumbag."
"It's only because my family members, they are too..."
May's parents indulged her younger brother too much, who always tried to get money from Henry and thus made her feel humiliated.
Sitting next to May, Crystal held her shoulders and comforted her considerately.
"It's okay. Anyone has a few disappointing relatives. We couldn't do anything about it. Take care of your own business and don't be so hard on yourselves."
Crystal had the worst family background among them. Her mother had remarried since Crystal was a child. She was a wimpy woman, who compromised Crystal's interest many times to satisfy her husband and stepson.
May turned to look at Crystal and sighed.
"You are right. Since we were born, we had no choice but to accept our family members. Crystal, you are so strong and optimistic."
"Would life be better if I am not optimistic? We have to face the problems eventually."
Crystal was a little chubby during that period because of pregnancy. She smiled softly and it looked like her motherly aura was radiating.
Christina didn't have a good temper like them.
She snorted angrily and scolded, "Rubbish!"
"May, your parents are really too partial. They don't care that it's uneasy for you to make money in F Country alone. And they are not grateful for so much money that you gave them every month, even asked you to help your younger brother for housing. They got the down payment from Henry, but didn't consider how could you face him from then on? And they're still thinking about compensation for break up. You have been merely taken advantage of by them, who never thought about your pride at all."
May and Crystal turned to look at her in surprise.
Deep resentment actually had been buried in May's heart. Even if she was trying to persuade herself that they were a family and it was not a big deal to sacrifice her interests sometimes for the sake of them, she still felt unfair. But she would not scold loudly and vent her anger due to her personality, so she kept suppressing her grievance all the time.
Hearing Christina scold her family members like that, she felt relieved and comfortable.
"You had broken up with Henry, so you'd better pay him back, lest you keep thinking about it and feel uncomfortable."
May nodded approvingly. "I'm going to pay him gradually in monthly installments. I can't afford such a big amount of money all of a sudden."
"Are you going to pay it for your brother?"
Christina disagreed, "Your brother already has a job. Why should you make the payment for him?"
May was a little embarrassed, "I don't want to, but it's impossible for him to pay that ."
Her brother took everything for granted, and he wouldn't take out the money even he had.
Picking up her phone, Christina quickly typed in a few passwords and said, "All right, take it as if your brother owes me. I'll send someone to collect it..."
Before she could finish her sentence, May's phone had received a text message showing that her account had received 250 million dollars.
