Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing that she was truly willing to leave her behind, Lin iqi no longer cared about her dignity and firmly grasped her hand, sobbing and sniveling as she said, “Enen, even if you don’t do it for the sake of your grandfather, for the sake of your mother who passed away too soon, you can’t ignore . If you don’t help and your uncle-in-law, we’ll truly have no way out.”
“Why is my life so hard? If my older sister were still alive, she would never abandon her only younger sister. Back in the day, we went to school together, together…”
Chi Enen had heard this too many tis that her ears had grown calluses, listening numbly as Lin iqi wailed.
“If it weren’t for your mother running into that irresponsible man, Chi Jianguo, being deceived by him and getting pregnant with you, she might still be alive and well.” In the midst of her crying, Lin iqi suddenly thought of sothing, raising her head, looking at Chi Enen with hope, “Right, Chi Jianguo! Enen, you can still go find Chi Jianguo! Your father is so rich, just talk to him, and he will surely give you 600,000!”
“I won’t go!” Chi Enen refused without a second thought.
She had long since cut ties with the Chi family; how could she possibly go back to them?
Moreover, that man was not just her father, but also the father of Chi Ya and Chi Baojin, and the husband of Gu Qiaoi. What was she, Chi Enen? Nothing but an unwanted illegitimate daughter born of a mistress.
The fact that Gu Qiaoi had tolerated her presence in the Chi family for 18 years was already her limit; how could she possibly endure her asking Chi Jianguo for money?
She didn’t want to ask for it either.
“Enen, are you really so heartless that you won’t help ?”
“How cruel you are,” Lin iqi cried, “I am your only blood-related aunt. If sothing happens to , you won’t have any relatives left. Who in the Chi family would care about you? Only I, I’m the only one who cares about you. Enen, even for the sake of your sister, please help . I’m begging you.”
Chi Enen let her cry and wail, without relenting.
She was neither naively kindhearted nor a saintly pushover.
She was struggling to survive herself and couldn’t possibly help Lin iqi. And over the years, she had clearly seen that Lin iqi saw her as nothing more than a cash cow. Even if she had 600,000, she wouldn’t give it to her. Who knew if in a few days Lin iqi would cry for help again, demanding another 600,000?
You naughty girl! A flicker of resentnt crossed Lin iqi’s eyes as she saw that Chi Enen was unmoved by hard or soft tactics. She had to play her trump card.
She let go of her, slowly got up from the ground, wiped her tears, and said, “Enen, if you refuse to help , I will have no choice but to use the money for your grandfather’s dication in an ergency.”
“What did you say?” Chi Enen couldn’t believe she would be so shaless, looking at her with furious eyes.
While pretending to wipe her tears, Lin iqi said, “I have no choice, Enen, as you know, your grandfather only had two daughters, and your mother. Your mother already died giving birth to you, and if I were to die from the loan sharks, what would happen to him at his age? For your grandfather’s sake, I’ll have to borrow a bit of the money ant for his dication…”
Chi Enen knew she was doing it on purpose!
She knew it was a threat!
Yet, she still clenched her teeth, balled her fists, and gave in, “I’ll go find Dad.”
Lin iqi barely concealed her delight, but before she could revel in it, Chi Enen quickly added, “This is the last ti.”
Whatever—Lin iqi didn’t take it to heart and, with a smile plastered on her face, responded half-heartedly, “I know. Enen, you can rest assured, this ti was an accident.”
Seeing her smiling joyfully, Chi Enen furrowed her brows, reminding her, “I should tell you beforehand that I’m not sure if Dad will lend the 600,000…”
Before she could finish, Lin iqi loudly interrupted her, “He will surely give it to you! You are his own flesh and blood, if you plead with him, it’s impossible for him to ignore you..”
