I pointed at my aunt, my words sharp like firecrackers: "Why did you adopt me back then? Don't you know in your heart? The huge compensation left to me by my parents, you still hold onto it and refuse to give it back to me!"

On the side, the onlookers had already formed a circle, earnestly joining in the fun, watching this drama unfold.

"You said it was best for me to be temporarily entrusted to you as a minor, but in reality, it was just your greedy cover-up. After adopting me and receiving the compensation, you immediately bought a villa and a BMW, living the life of wealthy people!"

I was so angry that I trembled all over, finally venting out the pain of these years, "Taking my parents' compensation, from childhood to now, you have never let me have a decent meal! Clearly, you could have spent money to hire a maid to do the housework, but all the chores were piled on me alone! In such cold winters, I ate cold, hard steamed buns, while having to wash the family's clothes with bone-chilling cold water. And now, you have the audacity to say you provide for my food and clothing, asking me to understand gratitude and repay kindness, asking me to donate a kidney to your own daughter?!"

My aunt's face alternated between pale and blue from my scolding, yet she still tried to defend herself: "Don't talk nonsense. When did I ever let you go hungry? There was one time, we made a big pork elbow at home, and you ate it all by yourself..."

"Yes," I sneered, "it was too greasy, you both took a few bites and couldn't eat anymore! You forced me to eat that big pork elbow for three days, saying not to waste it, and it gave me stomachache for half a month!"

I raised my hand, wiping away tears fiercely, speaking each word slowly, "I see her illness as a deserved punishment!"

"Xin Xin, how can you say that?" Xun Wensen covered the swelling on his face, his tone softened a bit, but still trying to persuade, "No matter what, she is still your cousin..."

"Xun Wensen."

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and when I looked at him again, there was no emotion on my face.

As if yesterday was all just a passing cloud, blown away by the wind, disappearing in an instant.

I smiled lightly, looked at him sadly, and finally said, "Let's get a divorce."

Xun Wensen was stunned, then instinctively said, "Are you kidding?"
