She originally wanted to use her biological parents, but unexpectedly, she ended up trapping herself.
Last ti, she tried to use Liu Congfang and Xiao Xiong to show Xu Ya how important she was. Xu Ya seed to have realized it a little, but Liu Congfang clung onto this and began threatening her.
"I don’t care. You better find a way to get the money, or I’ll tell Xu Ya about how you colluded with us."
"Mom, I’m your biological daughter. How can you do this to ?" Yun Sisi started pretending to look pitiful.
Liu Congfang remained indifferent. No matter how long it had been since they last saw each other, Liu Congfang knew exactly what Yun Sisi was thinking deep down.
"Why should I care? The point is, you need to figure out a way to get the money. Your dad’s gambling has left us with hundreds in debt. If we don’t pay it back soon, our shop will get wrecked."
Yun Sisi stared at Liu Congfang, her rage-filled eyes practically murderous.
Liu Congfang acted like she didn’t notice. Yun Sisi calling her "Mom" wasn’t heartfelt; it was just manipulation. So why not let them use each other?
After all, their blood ties couldn’t be severed.
Yun Sisi had no way out. Ask Xu Ya for money? She couldn’t.
She figured Xu Ya didn’t have much tucked away, especially since she spotted Xu Ya scanning the job listings in the paper.
If she asked Xu Ya for such a large sum now, what would Xu Ya think of her?
Besides, she had no reasonable explanation. What could she say to ask for it?
She couldn’t exactly say it was for her parents.
Asking Yun Tiancheng wouldn’t work either; he didn’t like her.
Mu Jiayu?
No way. If the Mu Family found out, they might tell Xu Ya.
Suddenly, Yun Sisi thought of soone who would definitely have plenty of money.
Right after class, Yun Shifei was packing up her books when she saw Yun Sisi standing in front of her.
"Sister, I have sothing to talk to you about."
Yun Shifei was a bit surprised. It had been quite a while since they last talked one-on-one.
"You can say it right here," Yun Shifei replied.
Cheng Lie was nearby reading, and upon hearing this, he looked up at Yun Sisi.
Yun Sisi had no choice but to lower her voice and say to Yun Shifei, "Sister, could you lend so money?"
"Borrow money?"
Yun Sisi nodded vigorously.
Yun Shifei probably had a lot of New Year’s money saved up, and Yun Tiancheng, who doted on her, would definitely have given her a hefty allowance too.
Yun Sisi guessed Yun Shifei was quite wealthy now.
Yun Shifei asked, "Why are you asking for money?"
"I have sothing I need it for. Please, sister, I’m begging you."
Yun Sisi never imagined herself stooping so low to beg soone.
And that soone was the Yun Shifei she disliked.
But she had no other option; the threats terrified her.
"No."
Yun Shifei said coldly. Lend her money? She’d have to be crazy.
"It’s life-saving money!" Yun Sisi added desperately.
"Go ask your mom."
Seeing Yun Shifei’s icy indifference made Yun Sisi furious. She’d already humbled herself so much; how could she be this heartless? This confird it—she had been pretending all along.
She’d rather be generous to so fool than show her even a little kindness.
"No wonder Mom doesn’t like soone like you!" Yun Sisi spat before storming off.
Yun Shifei nearly rolled her eyes. Clearly, Yun Sisi had never learned her lesson.
To be so arrogant while asking for money—this was a first.
It was puzzling that Yun Sisi would ask her for money.
Could it be that Xu Ya was facing financial difficulties?
Just then, she heard soone next to her say, "I like you."
A cool, crisp voice—yet she could sense the tenderness behind it.
It took her two seconds to react.
She blinked at Cheng Lie. He liked her?
Although she knew Cheng Lie’s "like" was probably the kind reserved for a friend, for so reason, the way he said it felt like a confession.
Yun Shifei quickly snapped herself out of her unnecessary pondering.
She smiled at him, "I like you too."
Cheng Lie’s dark eyes quietly studied her for a while.
She surely had no idea what kind of "like" he ant.
...
Yun Sisi hadn’t managed to borrow any money and was extrely frustrated. After thinking hard about it, she suddenly thought of soone.
Song Yang!
Yes, Song Yang’s family was rich. If she asked him for money, he’d probably say yes.
But it had been ages since she last saw Song Yang. Ever since he was expelled from school, she hadn’t bumped into him again.
After asking around, she learned where his family lived.
She picked a ti to go find Song Yang.
Nowadays, because most schools in South City wouldn’t take him, his parents had to send him to the worst high school.
At the lousy school, Song Yang had surprisingly beco more well-behaved. He no longer skipped classes and attended school on ti.
Today, after school, he saw Yun Sisi waiting for him at the street corner near his house—a sight he hadn’t expected in ages. Song Yang thought he was dreaming.
"Song Yang, long ti no see."
"Long ti no see, Sisi."
Song Yang blinked, noticing Yun Sisi seed even more beautiful than before.
After the incident where he bullied Yun Shifei, Song Yang had resolved never to bully girls again.
The guilt he felt towards Yun Shifei had never faded.
So, he stayed away from Yun Sisi, afraid of bothering her.
But why hadn’t he gone looking for her, yet she appeared before him?
"Song Yang, I need a favor. Can you help ?"
Song Yang nodded eagerly, almost imdiately.
"I need to borrow five hundred."
Five hundred wasn’t a small sum, but Song Yang nodded again: "Sure."
He’d gladly give her even one thousand.
He’d just received his New Year’s money and hadn’t had a chance to spend it yet.
Originally intent on using it for arcade gas, he decided to give it to Yun Sisi instead.
"Thank you so much!" Yun Sisi sounded incredibly moved.
"But... I’m not sure when I can pay you back."
She didn’t have any source of inco right now.
"Don’t worry about it. You don’t have to pay back."
Song Yang felt genuinely honored to see her spend his money.
"That wouldn’t be right..." Yun Sisi feigned hesitation. In truth, she had no way to return the money.
"It’s no problem, Sisi. Wait here; I’ll go get the money for you."
"Alright."
Watching Song Yang walk off, Yun Sisi couldn’t help but smirk.
Song Yang truly liked her. To lend her such a large sum without expecting repaynt—how delightful.
The thought of her biological parents sparked an increasing hatred in her heart.
She had always disliked them, but now she despised them even more.
Yun Sisi thought to herself that she would make sure to drive them out of South City.
After all, she knew South City well. If she wanted to find a few people to hassle them or stir up trouble, it would be an easy feat.
