"Ling Che!" Mother Ling was so angry that she started trembling, but Ling Che remained calm. In the past, he had shown great respect to his mother and allowed her to interfere with his life as she liked. It seemed like it made Mother Ling believe that she could get away with whatever she wanted to do to him.

"There is no need to shout." Ling Che was unusually calm. Even though his mother was yelling at him, he didn't show any signs of backing down or impatience. "I didn't say anything wrong. Ever since I awakened, I have been working for this family while you and my two dear sisters kept lying to me."

"You kept saying that you would find a job, but you never did. Instead, you relied on me—a poor mer to raise the entire family. Do you think it's something that could be done just because you want to?"

Mother Ling was speechless when she heard Ling Che's words. Her face flushed red in shame, and she banged her fists on the table. "Ling Che, don't forget that your name is Ling! It is only right —"

"So, do you mean to say that my sisters are not named Ling?" Ling Che rolled his eyes as he picked up the teacup. "Am I the only one who has the responsibility to raise you all? While they don't?"

Mother Ling couldn't say anything to refute Ling Che. She opened her mouth countless times but when she couldn't say anything, she simply pursed her lips and turned her head to one side with a look of impatience on her face.

It was Father Ling who took the lead in the conversation.

"Ah Che, I know that you are angry. But don't worry, we have thought things through, and we have even looked for a woman—"

"Stop." Ling Che raised his hands. Before his father brought up the point of marriage, Ling Che still had some hope towards his family, but it seemed like all the money and efforts that he had given to these people was fed to dogs.

They actually wanted to pit him in such a treacherous manner!

When Ling Che thought about how Xu Tingfang had caused him so much trouble, and yet his family wanted to marry him off to her, he felt furious. He had never done anything that might have let this family down, and yet they did such a thing to him.

They were truly too much!

He raised his head and stared at his father, who stiffened. Even though Ling Che was his son and on top of a mer, he was also an S-class chef; his aura wasn't something that normal people like them could withstand.

"I know what you have planned but I will also like to tell you that you can forget about it," Ling Che sneered. "I will not be marrying Xu Tingfang, and if you dare to force me, then I will make sure that the good reputation that your family has created will go down with me. You know how many fans I have, right? I would love to see how you will withstand their wrath once I tell them that you sold me off."

"You—" Mother Ling was stunned when she heard Ling Che's words. She never knew that her son was this rebellious. He actually threatened her in such a manner!

Who didn't know that Cheches were fiercely protective of Ling Che? If he were to tell them that his family was trying to sell him off, those people would certainly rip their family apart.

"We are your parents; we have the right to decide who you marry!" Mother Ling, however, didn't think that there was anything wrong with what she was doing. Even if Xu Tingfang was perverse, she had the money and the means to help their family. She even told them that as long as they were willing she could arrange for jobs for her daughter in her company.

Wasn't this good? A little sacrifice on Ling Che's part could stabilise their family! So why was he being so selfish?

Ling Che had grown up with Mother Ling and the rest, so of course, he knew what was going on in their minds. He curled his lips and didn't waste his time with them. "It is true that if I agree, then the situation of the family will get better—"

"Then why—"

"But this family just doesn't consist of me, does it?" Ling Che asked sharply; he raised his head and looked at his sisters, who were looking everywhere but at him. "I am neither the oldest nor a woman. The responsibility of raising this family is not my own alone. Why is it that only I need to sacrifice while the rest continue to lap up the fruits of my sacrifices? Haven't I done enough? From childhood to now, I think I have given you enough money to live a comfortable life."

"If you cannot earn money, why do you have to waste it as if you are the one earning it?!"

Ling Che finally couldn't help but ask. He was a top-ranking S-class chef, but because of the good things that his family had done, he lived in a small apartment and sometimes lived off of cheap solutions.

He earned so much, but he couldn't spend a penny on himself. Was this the kind of life he should be living? What did he owe this family?

"You are my son. Why can't I use your money? It's because of me that you—"

"No, it's because of me that I was able to climb up to where I was, mother." Ling Che got to his feet and stared at his family as if he was looking at strangers. "I was the one who worked hard, and I was the one who achieved what I own now, and I have done enough for you and your daughters."

"I starved when you were eating fine meals! And now that my worth has ended in your eyes, you want to sell me? I would like to tell you that I have already sold myself, so you might as well put away these petty thoughts that you have."
