Besides, Yang Youneng had that incident last year, and she used all her savings to treat her father's illness.

She is currently trying to conceive, and once she gets pregnant, she will need to buy many things, leaving her with absolutely no money to help her family.

But all her hard work and planning didn't earn her any appreciation from her younger sister. In fact, her sister even asked to borrow a thousand yuan in front of so many people. Did Yixuan think her money just fell from the sky?!

Yang Yimei suddenly got angry and said, "Yixuan, your grades are indeed not as good as Wanwan's. You should improve your grades first. Okay, I've been out for so long today, your brother-in-law should be looking for me now. I'm going home."

After saying that, Yang Yimei smoothed her hair and turned to leave.

"Big sister! Big sister!"

Yang Yixuan called out a few times in frustration, but couldn't get Yang Yimei back, so she listlessly turned her gaze away.

Knowing there was no hope of getting into the store, Yang Yixuan insisted on leaving. Xu Yao said she was going to the bookstore to read later and told Yang Yixuan to go first.

Yang Yixuan, Yang Qingliang, and Fu Xiaojuan then left.

After they disappeared from sight, Xu Yao asked Yang Wanwan, "Wanwan, since you can make the decisions about this shop, could you talk to the owner and ask me to stay and work here too? Don't worry, I'll do my best and won't let you down."

Seeing that Xu Yao had sent Yang Yixuan and the others away, Yang Wanwan knew what she was planning. Therefore, she didn't rush into the store earlier, but waited for Xu Yao to speak.

Sure enough, Xu Yao's skin is always this thick.

Yang Wanwan stayed to slap Xu Yao in the face. Since Xu Yao had offered herself up, how could she not retaliate?

"Xu Yao, tell me, why should I let you stay? Are we relatives? Are we friends? What benefits would I get if I spoke to the shop owner?"

Xu Yao said, "Of course we're friends! We were deskmates, we're from the same village, and we used to whisper secrets to each other under the covers. If you talk to the shop owner, I'll definitely buy you your favorite gift when I get my first month's pay!"

"But I don't need your gifts right now. You've seen it yourself, I can earn several hundred yuan a month, and Er Ye and Shang Tao can also earn money by helping out on weekends. My siblings and I together earn almost a thousand yuan a month. Would we need your little gifts?"

One thousand dollars?

Xu Yao was so jealous she was practically going crazy.

"Wanwan, you can't say that. Our friendship can't be measured by money. I'm giving you this gift just to express my feelings. It doesn't mean that my feelings can be measured by money."

"But I don't need your kindness! If I want, I can introduce other people to do the work, and they will be grateful! Why do I need you to come?"

Xu Yao: ……

"But, but we're friends, that's different from other people."

Yang Wanwan: "When did I become your friend? How come I didn't know?"

Xu Yao: "We used to play together all the time, and then we became deskmates..."

"I'm sorry, that's just your opinion. I, Yang Wanwan, have never considered you, Xu Yao, as a friend. Also, don't come looking for me unless it's important. I'm busy and don't have time to waste on you or your feelings."

After saying that, Yang Wanwan ignored Xu Yao's expression and turned to go inside.

Xu Yao stood under the tree, biting her lip.

That damn Yang Wanwan!

Why have you become so difficult to talk to?

But it doesn't matter, she can't escape my grasp!

Behind the tree, Qiao Song had been standing there the whole time, and had heard everything Yang Wanwan, Yang Yimei, and Xu Yao had said.

The sun at the end of October wasn't too intense, but it was still very bright.

In the bright sunshine, Qiao Song felt that Yang Wanwan was even more attractive than the sun itself.

Qiao Song was tall and handsome, with a sunny disposition, and he smiled gently.

Xu Yao turned around and saw a boy standing there, and her heart almost stopped beating.

That guy is so handsome!

He was wearing the school uniform of Yucai Middle School and a pair of Nike shoes.

Those are students from Yucai Middle School!

He has good grades, is handsome, and comes from a good family!

Xu Yao immediately put on an innocent and pitiful expression, with a few tears on her face, and walked past Qiao Song with her head down.

Just as she was about to reach Qiao Song, her foot slipped and she fell towards him.

Qiao Song was caught off guard when someone fell towards him. He instinctively reached out and hugged Xu Yao.

"Excuse me, are you alright?"

Xu Yao was wearing the school uniform of No. 1 Middle School.

Xu Yao said weakly, "I'm so dizzy..."

Qiao Song's mother was shopping in the store next door when she came out and saw her son holding a little girl. She frowned and asked, "Qiao Song, who is this?"

"Mom, I don't know her either. She suddenly fainted and looks very weak."

Qiao Song's mother said, "Let's see if she can still speak. Let's call her family."

Qiao Song's mother shook Xu Yao's arm. "Girl, how are you? Can you still speak?"

Xu Yao nodded with difficulty and said, "Auntie, could you please help me to sit over there? I'll be fine after sitting for a while."

Seeing that she was alright, Qiao Song's mother figured it wasn't a big deal, so she and Qiao Song helped her to a chair about twenty meters away.

Xu Yao glanced at the Moon Bay store entrance.

This way, they can avoid being seen by Yang Wanwan and the others.

As soon as Xu Yao sat down, Qiao Song's mother asked her a couple of questions with concern. A middle-aged woman walked over from behind and said, "Sister Li, have you finished buying your things?"

Qiao Song's mother, Yuan Li, turned to the woman behind her and said, "Lu Rong, there's a girl here who seems a little dizzy. Let me check if she's alright, then we'll leave."
