Chapter 989 How Dare You Criticize My Friends
Leia glanced at Matthew, frowning. "And you? Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to talk?"
Taken aback by her daughter's bluntness, Heidi tried to lecture her daughter. "Leia, mind your manners! This is
Sasha's husband, Director Matthew Larson! He's a part of the family."
Leia pouted in disdain. "Hmph, who's Sasha? | don't know her. You have no right to butt in on my family's
matters! Also, who said that | didn't care for my mom? | visited her yesterday, and | also cto see her just
this morning! Also, do you think higher education is free or something? What about my meals? Should I just die
of starvation? If it's so troublesome, then | can just drop out, can't I?"
Leia was worked up as well. "What? Was | wrong? Going to school requires money, doesn't it? If you don't want
from you anymore. That's what you want, right?"

Helen sighed and took smoney from her pocket. "All right, I'll give you smoney for now. Just try to get
by for the tbeing."
Leia took the money, then her eyes widened. "Only 300? What is this good for? It's not even enough to cover my
meals! Quit pretending to be generous if you're out of money! Did | call this way just to get 300? That's
outrageous!"
Helen was dumbfounded. "300 isn't enough for one week? When Sasha was at school, 200 was more than
enough for her weekly expenses!"
"We're different! She went to school so long ago, and I'm in school right now! Look at the price tags on
everything now! How many cups of Starbucks can | get with this measly 300? One and a half? Also, | have so
many friends, and | sometimes have to treat them to meals and karaoke and movies and whatnot! One meal and
this 300 would be gone! How am | supposed to meet my friends now?"
Matthew was in disbelief. "Your mother is in this condition right now, and you still want to have fun with your
friends? Can't you just decline sof the gatherings and spend more twith your mother?" "You have no
right to tellwhat to do! If | don't establish connections right now, who will helpwhen | leave school and
start working in the future? With my family in this condition, | can't get any good opportunities, so | can only
depend on myself!"
Matthew shook his head. "How are you so sure that these friends of yours will help you in the future? Stop being
foolish. You won't get any good friends if you buy them over with money. They won't help you one bit!"
Leia was enraged. "Shut up! You have no right to criticize my friends!"
At this point, Heidi was boiling in anger. "You better mind your manners, young lady!"
Refusing to listen, Leia snapped, "Was | wrong at all, Mom? What sort of relatives are they? They never gave me
so much as a penny in their whole lives, and now they can only give300! And they think they can tell me
what to do just because of that! What right do they have?"
At this moment, Heidi was so breathless with anger she had her hand pressed against her chest in an attempt to
calm herself down. Suffocated by fury, she couldn't even say a word. Standing on the side, Helen could only sigh

about that. Leia is right in a way... | have not taken care of her all these years.
"Never mind, I'll give you smore." Helen took out another 200 from her bag. "500 for a week. That should be
enough, right?"
Surprisingly, the girl was still upset. "Enough? Do you even hear yourself talking? It's only enough for one trip to
Starbucks! How am | supposed to go out with my friends? Mom, con! Why don't you just givemoney
already? This isn't nearly enough!"
Heidi's hand remained on her chest, and she had no words to say.
Helen feared that Helen's condition would get worse with the anger, so she could only fork out another 500.
"Here, 1,000. Happy now?"
Finally, Leia smiled as she took the money. "Now, this is what we're talking about! All right, Mom, rest well, okay?
I'm going back to campus now!"
With that, she left happily with the money in hand. She didn't even spare a glance at her mother lying on the
hospital bed.
