Lin Yan wanted to use this money to sever ties with Chu Xiu; she no longer wanted to deal with situations where she risked it all and came out empty-handed.
She couldn't deny it anymore; she saw the reality clearly; without Xu Bingfeng, Chu Xiu wouldn't survive.
It was pure fantasy to expect her to divorce Xu Bingfeng.
Lin Yan didn't know whether to praise Chu Xiu for putting love above all else or for her great maternal love.
Guilt wracked Chu Xiu, the money burned like hot coals in her hand—slight as the check was, it seared right through to her flesh.
"This is the last time I'll trouble you, Yan'er; you will forever be my dear sister."
By this time, Lin Yan was no longer interested in listening to these heartfelt, melodramatic words.
Leave some room for maneuver; she didn't want to push Chu Xiu too hard. Since she still held hope for Xu Bingfeng, she had to let it be.
