Chapter 924 – #97. Lanna (84)
“I think I’m going to get scolded by my mother, what should I do?”
When her mother returned to her original life after ending her life of escape, which was notified unilaterally by her mother.
The two daughters spent their new money on a spree.
Meeting her friends again, congratulating her on her comeback, scattering money, and shopping for new products that she hadn’t been able to buy in the meantime.
I didn’t know that my daughters’ spending would decrease because they handed over a lot of money, saying that they would be able to last for a few years.
“What should I do? I’ll just get scolded.”
“I must have been possessed by something. Now that I think about it, there are not one or two strange parts…”
“Haa…Let’s try to contact mom again as much as possible. She’ll give it to you again. Don’t dwell too much on the money you lost. Don’t cry. Pop!”
“This is all because of my sister! I was just thinking of making a small investment!”
Her brother got caught by a scammer and blew his money away.
The bigger problem was that in the process, her older sister also invested a lot of money in her scammers because her younger brother introduced her.
It wouldn’t have been a big deal for her if only her younger brother had been victimized, but the usually taller sister was also possessed by the swindler, so all the money they had to spend went into investment money.
It wasn’t even a dime or two, it was the money her mother had given her, saying she could use it for a few years.
I threw it all away to the scammer.
When she found out she had been beaten, she was dumbfounded.
‘She liked that if she was called several times the money she invested, she would not open her hands to her mother…’
It was wrong from the start.
If you just invest, your money will be rolled back several times over?
“There can be no such thing.”
In the first place, if the investment had such a high success rate, there was no way that the opportunity would have come to them, who are babbling around.
Since the seats were already full, he must have been fussy about accepting the money.
“What should we do now? We don’t have money to spend right now. I was going on a trip with a friend…”
“How long have you been living outside and are you going on a trip again? No, you have to save money.”
“Save money? We don’t have any money? We didn’t put it all in.”
“I know when I’ll be in touch with my mom!”
“Money is constantly coming into the bank account. Building tax.”
“Didn’t your mother give you a small building this time too? Use it for pocket money. Why do you keep asking me for money?”
“Because her sister manages the money her mother entrusted to her!”
It was her sister who put her hand in the money and invested it.
Her brother tried to stop her from investing a small amount of her own pocket money.
Then, it seemed like a very good investment opportunity, so her sister also connected her to put in her pocket money.
‘How could I have known? It’s her sister’s fault that she fell over.’
Little did he know that the swindler would notice that her sister had a lot of money, and play tricks on her, taking the money her mother had given her and blowing it away.
But even then, her daughters did not know.
That their mother had been taken to a place they would never meet.
That’s why it’s not a situation where you can give money.
“Can you contact mom?”
“No. She’s really in a hurry and when she can’t help it, she tries to call her number, but she doesn’t answer.”
“Shouldn’t I be looking for it?”
“There was someone after my mother, so she said it would be hard to find because she was hiding.”
“But I have to try. I can’t stay still like this. How many months has this already been!”
It was around the time when the daughters had not been able to contact their mother for three months that they began to feel a sense of crisis.
If she had money, she probably wouldn’t have been desperately looking for her mother.
In the first place, she would have been living without worries even if she hadn’t been scammed because the money her mother gave her wasn’t even a penny.
“You’ve been patient with it once before. Let’s be patient with it some more.”
“Chi… The kids started ignoring me saying that they were running out of money…”
“It’s been a while since I started not seeing my friends either. It’s all going to be resolved when I meet my mom later, so let’s be patient for now.”
Although he is the one who lost the investment money, his younger brother decided to obey his wishes because he was a person who could be relied on at times like these.
However, that patience slowly wore down after a year of not seeing her mother.
And it was her sister’s side who felt her limits as well.
“Sister…I have an ominous thought?”
“What ominous idea?”
“You know. If my mother abandoned us.”
“Hey! What kind of nonsense are you thinking?”
“As far as I can see, that’s the only explanation. We’re nothing more than a burden to mom, right? In fact, the only thing we want from mom is money. Even if I were a mother, if my children only wanted money and behaved cumbersomely, I would hate it and want to throw it away.”
They know that when they lived with their father, they were the only way to hold him.
But after their love and affection for their father faded away from his indifference, they couldn’t help but realize that their role was gone.
Even though he was clumsy when he was young, he was a father who loved them, but from one day he didn’t show much affection for them, and a cold wind blew with his mother.
“We found out later. You’re not my father’s son.”
I honestly sympathize with the cold look that Dad shows to Mom.
Didn’t it turn out that she wasn’t pregnant with her own child after threatening and tricking her into breaking up with her ex-wife?
Even when we think about it, it is understandable that Dad hates Mom.
The question was how her mother would treat them after their usefulness was over.
“Even then, we were very worried that the two of us would be abandoned by our mother.”
“I’m talking about her when she was young, but even then, she didn’t abandon us. Why does she abandon us now? If she meant to, she abandoned us long ago.”
Her mother compensated them with her money for the loss of her father’s love.
Although she did not receive direct love from her parents, she received all kinds of attention and affection from others.
Of course, that interest and affection was built up with ‘money’, but that much was not a problem for them to grow up.
However, in the process, the two created their own hideout that others could not enter.
A space only for the two sisters that no one else can enter.
It was also the reason why the two sisters did not separate and stuck together no matter what.
We were the only ones who could trust each other to survive in this harsh world.
Neither mom nor dad were safe guardians for them.
“The company went bankrupt. Back then, we could have lived well enough without abandoning us, and now the situation has become difficult. Taking care of us is an annoyance.”
“…So you’re saying that the money mom gave us was like telling us to eat this and leave?”
“Isn’t that so? Sister, what should we do now? We lost all our money. Even if I hadn’t introduced such a swindler to you… Black!”
Without her mother, she feels hopeless for the future she will have.
My sister came to her senses belatedly.
She doesn’t know if her mother abandoned them or if she’s really in trouble and she can’t reach her, but she says that if she can’t get help anymore, she has to find a way to live on her own.
“First… I’ll try to get a job.”
“Is your sister getting a job?”
“Actually, I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. Originally, I was supposed to join my mother’s company, but I couldn’t do it, so things just went wrong. I can’t live as an unemployed forever, so I had to join another company.”
Each of my friends went into their own family companies and were working as office workers.
Her sister, who suddenly lost her job due to the bankruptcy of her company, decided to prepare for her job in earnest to prepare for her future.
There was no big problem for her to get a job because she spent a lot of money to study and it was rewarding.
“Ha… I can’t get in here?”
The only problem is that she has her gaze too high.
A company that is much higher than your specifications.
I put her résumé in a place where anyone who would tell me the name of the company would know what it was doing.
She was aiming for a company where she wouldn’t be bothered to tell her friends at least.
Of course, in such a place, the specs obtained by painting money were not famous.
Her specs are important, but they wanted to test how competent she actually was, and in the process, she began to fall short of her due to her lack of ability.
“Let’s… Lower it down a bit. It’s not bad here. It’s not famous, but it’s a place that’s always in the top 5 in the industry.”
This is the situation where she told her brother that she would get her job right away.
She couldn’t show the appearance of continuing to prepare for a job.
Little by little, she lowered her standards and sent her resume…
“I got a job!”
She finally got her job done.
“How much is your salary?”
Her younger brother, not knowing how hard she worked to get a job, asked her salary first.
“…Do you ask for your salary first without saying congratulations? I won’t tell you.”
“It’s so great to get a job at a company I don’t even know the name of… I think it’s because I think I should get a lot of money.”
“The company I joined is also one I don’t fall for. Did you know everything about your mother’s company by name?
I am an employee who has just entered the company.
She didn’t want to tell her that she was paid less than a hundred and one a month, which she usually clamored for easily.
“If my mother’s company had been fine, I wouldn’t have entered as a new recruit. That and this are different. Ha… I hope my mother will rebuild the company and come back and appear in front of us saying ‘Tada!'”
“It will be.”
She wondered if her mother had abandoned us, she thought maybe it was true, but she hadn’t come to a definitive conclusion yet.
Maybe her mother will succeed and come to find them.
“Now that I’ve got a job, I’m more relieved… What are you going to do now?”
“…I don’t know. As you know, I’m good at arts and sports. My mother said that the foundation for my work would buy it for me.”
The picture drawn by her brother was to be purchased through the foundation and would greatly help in forming slush funds.
I don’t know the details, but she told me not to worry about selling the painting.
But now she had to worry about selling her paintings.
Who would have known
To think that if her mother’s company went bankrupt, even the power to move the foundation that would buy her brother’s paintings would be blown away.
“Even if you can’t sell to the foundation, you can sell to other places. How much did your mom spend to educate you? You must have a good network, but is it really impossible to be active at all?”
“Rumours have already spread there. My mother is ruined. After that, even if I contact you, they won’t accept it. You know. Your image is important over there.”
