Yan Yichen approached, handing a delicate blue gift box to Jian Yixue.
"What’s this?"
"A gift." Yan Yichen smiled warmly.
Jian Yixue opened it, revealing a full set of lipsticks from a well-known brand, every shade included!
This set of lipsticks was all the rage in the country, long hyped up and impossible to buy, even getting just one was difficult, a whole series was nearly impossible!
Jian Yixue pursed her lips, "Thank you... but this must be very expensive... Yan Yichen, I don’t think I have anything to give you in return..."
"No need to thank . If you really feel bad, just wear a bit of it every day and repay little by little."
Yan Yichen slipped one hand into his pocket, smiling with a radiant and genuine deanor.
The female shop assistants couldn’t help but squeal quietly, at first Jian Yixue didn’t get it, but being the second in her grade, she thought it over and understood what Yan Yichen ant...
Repay him little by little every day... wasn’t that just another way of saying to kiss him?
Ahhh! This person, even giving a gift is such a flirt!
She blushed, not knowing what to do, but fortunately, the tily ring of her phone saved her.
One glance at her phone screen, and Jian Yixue’s eyes turned cold in an instant.
The caller ID on the screen was: Jian Shengbao.
She hesitated for a mont, but still answered.
"Hello?"
On the other end, Jian Shengbao laughed ingratiatingly, "Sis, it’s , your dear brother Shengbao, have you eaten yet?"
Jian Yixue replied coolly, "If you have sothing to say, just say it."
"In that case, I’ll get right to it..."
"Go on." She was curious what her brother wanted from her this ti.
Jian Shengbao cleared his throat, "Sis, here’s the thing, the doctor said for my treatnt, a conservative estimate would need three million. But, the family found a house worth four million, and, you know, our parents are getting older, they’d need at least two million for retirent... If I buy the new house, I’d need another million for renovations..."
"So what?" Jian Yixue retorted.
"Brother-in-law is so wealthy, five million is nothing to him, can’t you talk to him and ask for another five million... Sis, you don’t want to live poorly, right? After all, I’m your own brother!"
Jian Yixue felt a fire in her chest, her beautiful face covered in frost, "Jian Shengbao, let ask you this, from childhood till now, how have I treated you?"
"Sis, that’s a given, you’ve been nothing but good to !"
"And do I owe you anything? Everyone has their limits, don’t push it!"
Jian Shengbao caught onto her underlying tone, she just didn’t want to give him money!
Really, now that she’s climbed up, she looks down on family?
Instantly, he was displeased, yelling, "You’re my sister, you were born to owe ! You’re living in luxury now, of course you should let live just as well!"
Jian Yixue was so angry she almost spat blood, "I ask you, when you were living well, did you ever think about having live just as well?"
On the other end, Jian Shengbao was silent.
Jian Yixue laughed bitterly, "You didn’t, I know you didn’t, Mom and Dad know you didn’t! You’re so selfish yet demand I be selfless. Why should you get all the benefits? Why are you allowed to hold to the standards of a saint, yet hold yourself to the standards of a scoundrel?"
Yan Yichen heard her sharp retorts to her own brother, his eyes glimring with admiration.
Not bad, the little woman knows how to stand up for herself.
