Li Yin's sallow face was devoid of any color. In this era, the food was already not nutritious, and coupled with her recent recovery from a serious illness, her complexion was even worse!

Thinking back to when she was in the Li family, Li Wenbo treated her like his own daughter, giving her and Li Yan all the best food. When had she ever suffered such grievances?

If it weren't for her cleverness in getting money from Mu Jiuhong, she wouldn't even have money for food now!

Her lips pressed into a straight line, her eyes slowly lowered, and she adopted a fragile and helpless appearance.

She said, "I know you still hold a grudge against me, but let's put the past aside..."

Li Xiyue interrupted Li Yin directly, "Leaving aside the past? Heh, do you think we have a future together?"

Why don't you just ignore the facts? If we ignore the facts, you and your mother are in such a pitiful situation now—one in jail, the other in the hospital.

Mi Bao cursed in the space, "Pah! How can there be such a shameless person in the world?! It's outrageous! It's outrageous! We're home!"

Why doesn't she just say, "Let's put life aside"? If we put life aside, then there's nothing to talk about! I'll give her another lightning bolt!

Li Xiyue said, "Don't rush, let's play tricks on her first and see what kind of scheme she's going to pull?"

Li Yin's face turned pale and then dark; what she said...

She was speechless.

At that moment, even she herself felt that she was being quite shameless...

But can you blame them?!

She slowly raised her eyes to look at Li Xiyue, and said in a choked voice, "How can you blame me? How can you blame me?!"

Did I have a choice when I was a child? What Jin Cuicui did has nothing to do with me; I didn't do anything!

Du Guixiang walked over and stood next to Li Xiyue, saying, "So you're saying you didn't do anything wrong? Bah! Haven't you heard of children paying for their mother's debts?!"

Your mother used you to impersonate Li Xiyue for your sake. If it weren't for you, why would she need so much?

In the end, you're the one who ruined everyone's lives! And even if you hadn't done anything, you weren't imprisoned, were you? So why are you causing this trouble?!

She glared fiercely at Li Yin. Anyone who dares to bully Li Xiyue, just try it! She'll be the first to object!

Li Yin bit her lip, biting it all the way down, until her mouth was filled with the sweet, metallic taste of blood before she realized what was happening.

She gritted her teeth and said, "I know you hate me, hate me for the past ten years in the Li family, but to be honest, I haven't had a good time either."

Before my mother passed away, she left behind some things that were related to you and the Li family.

Li Xiyue looked sharply at Li Yin and asked, "Just say what you want to do!"

She didn't believe that Li Yin would kindly come to tell her what Jin Cuicui had hidden.

Li Yin said, "I didn't mean to do anything... I'm already in this state, I just want to beg you... please let me go..."

I just want to study hard at university, graduate, and contribute to society, becoming a useful member of society.

Li Xiyue didn't believe Li Yin's words at all. She asked, "That's it? If that's all, you can leave!"

Li Yin's eyes widened in surprise. Why didn't Li Xiyue ask her what was in her hand?

Du Guixiang took two steps forward and shoved Li Yin on the shoulder. "Didn't you hear me tell you to leave? Get out of here, you're not welcome!"

Li Yin was pushed by Du Guixiang and stumbled back two steps, almost falling down the stairs.

Seeing that her plan was about to fall apart, she quickly said, "No! I have something to do, just a little thing!"

Li Xiyue and the others chuckled and said, "Just say it!"

Li Yin said, "My mother has been imprisoned, and I have no income at all while I'm in school."

The things my mom collected are all related to the Li family. They might be useful to you. If you can give me some money, I'll give you all of them. I don't need much, just enough for my living expenses for the next few years.

Mi Bao said in the space, "This isn't much? How much will her living expenses be over the next few years? Yue'er, don't give her a single penny!"

Li Xiyue said to Mi Bao, "Of course I won't give it to her, I didn't eat it!"

Before Li Xiyue could say anything, Du Guixiang was startled.

"What? Several years' worth of living expenses? You're really asking for an exorbitant amount. You expect Li Xiyue to support you? Where's your shame?"

If you're short of money, apply for a special hardship subsidy at school! Isn't the dozen or so yuan the school subsidizes each month enough?

What kind of life do you want to live? Do you still think you're some kind of pampered princess?!

Du Guixiang complained that they were different from college students who came to university after having jobs.

University students who have jobs not only receive a salary from their employers but also have their seniority counted.

For students like them who get into university through the national college entrance examination, depending on the school and major they apply for, such as teacher training colleges, all students receive subsidies.

Their school doesn't provide subsidies to all students, but students can apply for subsidies based on their family's income.

The subsidies for students from extremely poor families are quite generous, enough for one person to eat in the cafeteria for a month!

Li Yin's face twitched with anger. She was trying her best to control her expression, because she had an injury on her face, and even the slightest expression would make her want to bang her head against the wall.

Even though it hurts now, she can't control the expression on her face!

She angrily shoved Du Guixiang away and shouted, "What business is it of yours what I do with Li Xiyue? Are you Li Xiyue's dog?"

From the moment Li Xiyue entered the school, you followed her around like a puppy. Pah! Shameless!

Du Guixiang's face turned pale from the scolding, and she slapped Li Yin, yelling, "Who's shameless? Get out of here!"

Li Yinxiang stumbled back a few steps, lost her balance, and fell onto the handrail of the corridor, screaming in agony.

Her injuries were so severe that even though she could walk now, she couldn't afford to touch them. This bump reopened her newly healed skin.

Students upstairs and downstairs all heard Li Yin's screams and opened their doors to come out and see what was going on.

Li Xiyue pulled Du Guixiang back, preventing her from rushing forward again. She walked up to Li Yin and said, "You want money, right?"

Li Yin nodded despite the pain, "Yes, I just want money, and not much. Your family definitely needs it."

I'll give you the money, and you take the things my mom collected. From now on, you go your way and I'll go mine!

"Li Xiyue, I dare to come looking for you because I have the confidence. If those things are handed over to the police station, your family will be completely finished! Heh!"

Her voice suddenly turned cold, threatening Li Xiyue.

Mibao said in the space, "What is that? Is she lying to you?"

Li Xiyue said in the space, "She probably isn't lying to me. It might be solid evidence that the Li family has overseas connections. In this day and age, such connections can't be made public..."
