Wang Quanxia and her family exchanged glances.
It seemed that Shi Mei's few months at the Shi Family's place really made a difference.
Thinking of this, Wang Quanxia's tone softened considerably as she said, "Shi Mei, Mom knows you blame us for not visiting you, but do you know? We've recently been... really pitiful and struggling."
As Wang Quanxia spoke, her voice choked up, "Your father and brother were useless; they invested in a new business and were scammed. All the capital invested in the business was lost, and now we also owe a lot of money to the bank and loan sharks... We're driven to a dead end and those two old immortals of the Shi Family wouldn't even lend us a bit of money. We're so desperate, Shi Mei, after all these years, we've never suffered like this…"
"Tsk," Shi Mei's voice was emotionless, "Since you've never suffered like this before, it seems alright to suffer now."
