I didn't pay attention to what happened next and started to deal with opening a dessert shop.

It wasn't until two months later that my parents found me outside the neighborhood gate.

Unlike last time, they were carrying plastic bags this time. When they saw me, they hurriedly handed them to me: "Xingxing, this is the cured meat we made for Chinese New Year. Can you come home for the New Year this year... your younger brother is not around..."

I didn't say anything, knowing that they were trying to make amends with me.

After all, their son was unreliable and ended up in jail, while their daughter was making money. They had to plan for their own future, even if they loved their son.

I looked at the bag of meat and eventually reached out to take it: "I'm busy during the New Year, you should go back."

After saying that, I took out two hundred yuan from my bag and handed it to them before entering the neighborhood directly.

When I got home, I placed the meat on the table. Lu Xinyue ran over, took a look, and asked me where I got it from.

I said, "I bought it."

I never expected parental love in the past, and I never will in the future. My relationship with them will always be about money.
