Chapter 1441


    Jacob did not eat dinner at home that night.


    ording to him, he was having dinner with several leaders of the Calligraphy and Painting


    Association as well as a few core members of the Senior University. 5


    Jacob called Charlie a little after nine o’clock.


    When Jacob called, Charlie was watching television with his wife in the living room.


    His mother-inw, ine, had put on a caviar antiaging facial mask as shey down on the two-


    seater sofa in a leisurely manner while she scrolled through her online short video tform. As she


    was scrolling o n her cell phone, she muttered, "Oh! That Japanese girl who came to Aurous Hill to


    participate in thebat and fighting championship has a pretty good appearance!"


    Charlie knew that she was definitely talking about Nanako. At this time, he did not say anything, but


    his cell phone had already started vibrating. 2


    When Charlie saw that it was a phone call from Jacob, he hurriedly answered the phone and said,


    "Hello, Dad."


    Jacob sounded a little drunk over the other end of the line as heughed and said, "Oh, my good


    son-inw, why don''t youe over to the Heaven Springs to pick me up? I drank some wine."


    Charlie did not think too much, and he casually replied, "Okay, Dad. I wille and pick you up


    now."


    After that, he stood up before he said, "Mom, ire, I''m going to go and pick Dad up now. He had


    some drinks with the people from the Calligraphy and Painting Association."


    ire stood up at this time and said, "Charlie, I will go along with you to pick Dad up." 2


    Charlie did not think too much and nodded lightly as h e said, "Okay, then we can just drive your


    car."


    When ine heard that Jacob had been drinking outside, she said in annoyance, "That old b*stard


    is getting more and more presumptuous now. My good son-inw, don''t go and pick him up. Let him


    come back on his own. When hees back, I will lock the door so that he cannote into the


    house. Let him sleep in the courtyard, then!" 1

    Charlie shrugged before he said, "Mom, you should not argue with Dad and make everything so


    tense and unhappy all the time. After all, we are all living under the same roof. Even if both of you


    are already separated, you should still try to get along with one another." 1


    ine was also a very bright and experienced person, and she could immediately tell that Charlie


    was hinting at her.


    Therefore, she secretly cursed in her heart, ''Although both Jacob and I are already separated, we


    are still living in Charlie’s vi. Charlie would definitely not allow me to get into a fierce and hot


    dispute or argument with Jacob. It will not be worthwhile for me to have a falling out with Charlie at


    that time.’ 6


    Hence, she could only put aside the anger and frustration that she had toward Jacob as she


    pretended to be amicable and said, "Actually, I could not be bothered to waste time arguing with the


    likes o f someone like him. When my legs are healed and after I fix my front teeth, I will also go out


    and have fun every day! Both of us will not interfere with each other''s lives, then!" i


    Charlie immediately smiled when he heard this." Okay, then. It will be great if both of you can


    respect one another and try not to interfere in each other’s lives."


    ine looked at Charlie before she smiled and said in a ttering manner, "Oh, my good son-inw,


    at that time, you will have to give your mom some pocket money too. Your mom is basically


    penniless now. If I were to go out with my friends for a meal or gathering, my friends would not be


    willing to hang out with me if I do not have any money to pay for myself!" 8


    Why wouldn’t Charlie know what was running through ine''s mind at this time? All that she


    thought about every day was money, going for facials, ying cards, and showing off. s


    She had no money now, and the reason why she did not go out at all was because her broken leg


    was truly a n inconvenience. Moreover, her image and appearance had been seriously damaged


    because of the loss of her two front teeth. 3


    After her leg was healed and she got her teeth fixed, ine would unmistakably be thinking about


    going out every day. She would definitelye up with all sorts of tricks and schemes if she had no


    money at that time. 5


    However, in Charlie’s opinion, if he could send her out by giving her some money, that would also


    be a good thing for him.


    So, Charlie replied lightly, "Mom, when your leg is healed, and after you get your teeth fixed, I will


    give you fifty thousand dors a month as your pocket money." 6


    "Really?!" ine was suddenly very happy.


    Fifty thousand dors was indeed a lot of money. She had not been willing to spend so much money


    every month even when she used to hold on to the family’s two million dors.


    In truth, ine''s daily expenses consisted of nothing more than ying cards asionally,


    shopping with her fake sisters, getting some facials, having some dinner banquets, singing karaoke,


    and asionally buying some clothes, facial products, and so forth. Therefore, fifty thousand


    dors a month was actually more than enough.
