"Are you trying to bully me since I'm old and useless and your brother is in prison? How it was the previous years will be how we'll do it this year. Don't talk about money or anything like that. I don't believe that you don't have the money for a birthday party.
If you don't want to do it, just tell me directly that you don't want to do it. There's no need to find a lousy hotel to patronize me. If you don't want to do it, we won't do it this year."
Zhao Xiumei was deliberately provoking Lan Tingyun. He was her son, so how could he not hold a birthday party for her?
She thought about how her son used to go along with her for her birthday, and she couldn't let herself suffer this year.
"Alright! Since Mom says so, we'll not hold one!"
Lan Tingyun's words made Zhao Xiumei furious.
"You unfilial thing! Are you here to annoy me?"
Zhao Xiumei cursed.
