After Mu Chengzhu finished his exams, Yun Shifei and the others attended classes for a while longer before taking their final exams and preparing for the holidays.
Ti flew by in a rush, feeling like it passed in the blink of an eye.
Yun Shifei dedicated even more energy to her studies, spending almost the entire sumr at ho studying without going out.
Her final exam scores showed significant improvent compared to before, while Yun Sisi had fallen several places in the rankings.
Looking at the rankings board, Yun Shifei felt a bit puzzled. In her previous life, Yun Sisi’s academic performance had always been at the top, and she had never heard of her having bad grades.
Even though at that ti she was studying at the worst-performing high school, Yun Sisi always boasted about her grades, so Yun Shifei was well aware.
It seed that ever since Yun Sisi and Xu Ya moved out, things hadn’t been going well for her.
Thinking about the ti Yun Sisi had borrowed money from her, Yun Shifei wondered if she ever managed to find soone else to lend her money.
Yun Sisi had indeed been troubled during this period.
Her relationship with Xu Ya had plumted to an all-ti low.
Yun Sisi no longer knew how hard she had to try to make Xu Ya like her again.
On top of that, Liu Congfang was constantly pressuring her.
Asking her to steal money from Xu Ya for them, or to move out and live with them as their daughter.
Be their daughter?
Yun Sisi felt Liu Congfang was simply delusional. She wasn’t even raised by them, so why should she suddenly beco a free daughter for them?
But Liu Congfang knew her weak spots all too well.
She even threatened to report everything Yun Sisi had done to the police, saying her threats were illegal!
Although Yun Sisi was a minor, the law might be lenient with her.
But the rules of Xinhua Middle School wouldn’t be forgiving of a student like her.
From her previous attempt to kidnap Yun Shifei to later conspiring with thugs against Liu Congfang — if Liu Congfang really reported these things to the police, they might not be able to punish her, but the school would definitely expel her!
She didn’t want that!
If she were expelled, her reputation would be ruined, and she might even lose the opportunity to study properly!
Yun Sisi had no choice but to listen to Liu Congfang, but she couldn’t sever ties with Xu Ya.
No matter how poorly Xu Ya treated her now, she had been good to her once. She knew Xu Ya cared for her—it was just that Xu Ya was angry with her now.
She couldn’t do sothing that would betray her mother.
"Sisi, I’m giving you two more days. If you can’t get so money from Xu Ya, I’ll go straight to the police and expose all your evil deeds."
"Mom, don’t you want to be your daughter? If you keep pushing like this, how could I ever like a mother like you?" Yun Sisi said, breaking down a little.
Liu Congfang could see with just one glance that Yun Sisi was pretending to be pitiful.
This tactic was sothing she had long mastered.
"I don’t care what you think. Whether you steal or deceive, just get the money!"
Yun Sisi bit her lip, her eyes filled with hatred, but Liu Congfang didn’t even spare her a glance.
After Liu Congfang left, Yun Sisi couldn’t help but scream.
Why!
Why did she have such a disgusting biological mother?
Nonetheless, she could feel that Liu Congfang was very much like her.
That likeness was such that when she tried to feign innocence and deceive her, it couldn’t escape Liu Congfang’s keen eyes.
And while she knew Liu Congfang wasn’t that formidable, she was far too cunning.
She could theoretically turn the tables and sue Liu Congfang for extortion, but she was afraid Liu Congfang might retaliate in a reckless, destructive way.
Liu Congfang was nearing the end of her life anyway, whereas her own life was just beginning.
Risking a lifeti for soone like Liu Congfang—Yun Sisi felt it wasn’t worth it, not at all.
She took a deep breath!
Since Liu Congfang wanted money, she could only continue looking for Song Yang.
...
"Sisi, you’re short on money again?" Song Yang blinked at the girl in front of him. He hadn’t expected Yun Sisi to co to him again, and it was still about money.
Yun Sisi nodded. "Song Yang, could you lend a little more money?"
"Sure, no problem." Song Yang agreed without hesitation.
Song Yang’s so nice.
Even though Yun Sisi thought Song Yang was foolish, she couldn’t help but appreciate his kindness.
Song Yang went to withdraw money and handed over another five hundred yuan to Yun Sisi.
"In the future... When I have the ability to make money, I’ll definitely pay you back," Yun Sisi said.
"Sisi, I don’t care about the money. What I care about is your heart. Do you like or not?" Song Yang stared at Yun Sisi intensely.
Yun Sisi felt guilty under his gaze.
How could she possibly like soone like him? He was a bad student, even expelled by the school.
Although lately, Song Yang seed a little better. He no longer dyed his hair, which was now black and neatly trimd, making him look quite spirited.
He didn’t draw on his school uniform anymore or wear bizarre outfits—now he dressed in a regular school-appropriate manner.
This version of Song Yang, although his features were ordinary, looked refreshingly clean, even sowhat appealing.
But she still didn’t like Song Yang.
Because his grades were bad and he had no future.
Still, for now, she felt she could make use of him.
"I... I understand how you feel, but right now, I just want to focus on my studies. You know, I haven’t been doing well in my recent exams, and I’m about to start my senior year of high school."
Upon hearing this, Song Yang was thrilled.
Yun Sisi hadn’t outright rejected him—did that an he still had a chance?
"It’s okay. I’ll wait for you, Sisi. I’ll work hard too, aiming to get into a college. I don’t want to study abroad; I just want to stay by your side."
Yun Sisi forced herself not to roll her eyes. She smiled sweetly, looking pure and innocent: "Mm, let’s both do our best!"
Watching Yun Sisi leave, Song Yang couldn’t stop smiling.
From the corner, Su Ni walked over, having stood there for who knew how long. She looked at Song Yang and said, "Brother Yang, she’s just using you."
Girls understand girls best, and Su Ni could imdiately tell that Yun Sisi wasn’t a good girl.
Her smile was as fake as could be.
Hearing Su Ni say this, Song Yang beca a bit annoyed.
He reached out and tapped Su Ni on the head: "Sisi likes . Don’t jinx it."
What did "jinx" an? Su Ni didn’t know, but she was sure Yun Sisi didn’t like Song Yang.
"Why does she keep borrowing money from you?"
After the incident at school last ti, Su Ni hadn’t exposed Song Yang, which made him think Su Ni was loyal, even as he scolded her for causing unnecessary trouble back then. Still, their relationship improved sowhat.
He slung his arm around Su Ni’s shoulders, acting like a close buddy.
"Have you ever heard of the story of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress?"
Su Ni nodded.
"Well, now Sisi is in trouble, and I’m the hero saving her. So I gave her about a thousand bucks or so. Anyway, I’ve got plenty of money."
