Chapter 402: Not a Stepmother 43
At noon, when Yuan Chun had just finished cooking, Xiao Bao received a phone call, and his expression turned somewhat cold. "My mom and I are about to have lunch, you... I’m sorry, I can’t plead for you. I’m standing by my mom’s side... don’t call me anymore, I don’t want to answer your calls."
Xiao Bao hung up the phone, looked up at Yuan Chun, hesitated for a moment, and still said, "Mom, it was cousin calling. She said she’s nearby and wants to come over for lunch, and asked me to plead for her so mom could take her back again, but I refused."
"Mom, do you think I’m being cold?" Xiao Bao asked worriedly.
Yuan Chun raised her hand, touched her son’s head, and said, "That time when you were kidnapped, she came back and didn’t even say a single word of concern for you, didn’t even ask about you. All she could think about was pleading for the kidnapper. Such heartless relatives, I don’t want to have them either, otherwise, mom wouldn’t have driven her out of the Fang Family."
"Xiao Bao, we’re not saints. She hurt us, and we still have to repay evil with kindness? Why should we? We’re humans too, we have tempers, which is why mom thinks you did the right thing. To those ungrateful wolves, we can’t be too polite, otherwise, the ones who will get hurt in the end are us, the honest people."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with a smile, "Mm-mm, I’ll listen to mom. I won’t answer her calls in the future."
Yuan Chun picked up a piece of steak and put it in her son’s bowl, saying, "Son, let’s eat. Let’s not mention the people who spoil our appetite anymore. But, you shouldn’t follow everything mom says; otherwise, you’ll become a mama’s boy, and your future girlfriend will resent you."
Xiao Bao’s young face blushed, "I’m only in my first year of college, I just became an adult, I’m not going to date. I want to wait until I’m successful in my career after graduation to talk about dating."
Yuan Chun said casually, "As long as you’re happy, you can live however you want. Mom will support you."
The mother and son ate with joy and happiness, while Wang Xiaoyan was at the bank with a few police officers reviewing the video of someone using her bank card to withdraw money.
The time wasn’t far off, her bank card hadn’t been lost for many days, and the money had been withdrawn in the past few days. The record on the bank card was of a man wearing a baseball cap and a mask.
Wang Xiaoyan tried hard to recognize the person but couldn’t identify him.
"I don’t know if this is a student from our school, but my dormitory is all girls, and no outsiders have been in over the past few days, so all the girls in my dormitory are suspects," Wang Xiaoyan said.
The police officers followed Wang Xiaoyan to the school to investigate the girls in her dormitory.
Perhaps Wang Xiaoyan was lucky; the police officers really found the money, and the card thief was one of the girls.
Because she inadvertently learned Wang Xiaoyan’s bank password and knew there were tens of thousands of yuan in her account, the girl had the idea to take the money for herself.
She stole Wang Xiaoyan’s bank card while Wang Xiaoyan was showering.
However, the girl didn’t dare go to the bank to withdraw the money herself, fearing she’d be recognized, so she asked her brother to do it and made him wear a mask and cap because she was worried Wang Xiaoyan would report it and they’d find out about her brother.
Indeed, Wang Xiaoyan didn’t recognize the person withdrawing money as her dorm mate’s brother.
But the girl had poor psychological resilience; as soon as she saw the police officers, she panicked and exposed herself.
The money thief was found, but the girl’s brother had already spent four to five thousand yuan of it, leaving only forty thousand yuan remaining.
