The woman on the other end of the phone seemed intimidated by Shu Qingqing's questioning. Her guilty conscience quickly flared, and her voice became even more fearless: "Yes, so what if I borrowed money from him? He owes you. You're my daughter. What's wrong with me helping you get some interest? You..."
"Pang Cuihong!!" Shu Qingqing interrupted her with an angry roar, asking her how much money she had borrowed from Si Ming.
Pang Cuihong muttered to herself, "It's not much, just two million interstellar coins. He took up so much of your time, so asking for this little bit is already a bargain for him..."
Shu Qingqing didn't want to talk to this vampire anymore. Her eyes turned red with anger, and she hung up the phone on her personal terminal. Afterward, she blocked and deleted him in one fell swoop. She was so angry that her head was spinning and she couldn't get rid of the tightness in her chest.
She couldn't understand how her wise and capable father could possibly have fallen for such a despicable woman!
She didn't believe Pang Cuihong's claim that she had only borrowed two million interstellar coins. After taking a deep breath and wiping her moist eyes, she pulled out an account that she had blacklisted for a long time.
The account's nickname is "Si Ming".
Without hesitation, she clicked to dial the number and waited for him to answer.
To her surprise, he answered the call very quickly.
After the call was successfully connected, neither of them spoke first.
Only after Shu Qingqing felt calmer did she ask him in a hoarse voice how much money her mother had borrowed from him.
Si Ming was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said with a wry smile, "I knew you might have contacted me because of this. The money your aunt borrowed, just like she said, is what I should give you back. You don't need to ask me the exact amount, I..."
"Si Ming!! Is she out of her mind, and you're out of yours too?! Don't you know what kind of scum she is?"
She was lazy and loved to eat, drink, and gamble. From childhood to adulthood, she never fulfilled any of her responsibilities as a mother.
She always caused her father worry, and in the end, in order to help her pay off her gambling debts, she went to a very dangerous place to gamble, and lost her life.
She thought that this would at least make her mother realize that she should change, but she didn't expect that she didn't think she had done anything wrong at all, and even blamed everything on her father being too impulsive.
After that, she cut off all ties with that vicious scoundrel, but it was no use.
Not only does she come to her every few days asking for money, but she also brings along a scoundrel just like her, saying he'll be her stepfather and wants to move into her house.
She still remembers the lewd look in her eyes when her so-called adoptive father looked at her, and now just thinking about it makes her feel physically nauseous.
Si Ming only knew part of the story. Hearing Shu Qingqing curse her biological mother like that, she frowned and replied, "Qingqing, no matter what, your aunt is still your mother. You should be more tolerant of her..."
"Shut up!! All you need to tell me is how much money that jerk borrowed from you!"
Seeing her resolute attitude, Si Ming thought of her personality over the years and finally sighed, revealing that Pang Cuihong had borrowed nearly three million interstellar coins in total.
"But after what happened to my uncle, shouldn't my aunt have repented and reformed? Did she invest the money or something?"
When Shu Qingqing heard the number three million, her eyes dimmed.
Adding the one million that was transferred from her account, it was exactly the savings she had worked hard and endured countless hardships to accumulate over the past two years.
She didn't even have the energy to be angry or cry anymore. After quickly transferring all the money to Si Ming's account, she told him:
"If someone as rotten as her could repent, would I still be estranged from her? Si Ming, I'm begging you, please don't lend her any more money. I can owe anyone, but I don't want to owe you. If you lend her money again, I promise you, there will be no one named Shu Qingqing in this world."
After saying this in a very defeated tone, Shu Qingqing hung up the phone. Looking at her remaining balance of less than 40,000 interstellar coins, her eyes stung with tears.
"Two years..."
Two whole years of anticipation and hard work were so easily ruined by this rotten person.
Her savings of nearly four million interstellar coins dwindled to forty thousand interstellar coins. Shu Qingqing was utterly despondent. When she returned to her room, she could see no light in her eyes.
Seeing that she suddenly looked like she was about to die, Shang Duojin leaned closer and asked her what was wrong.
"Did your weird parents do something weird again? Tell me, and I'll definitely help you if I can."
As a top streamer on X Station, Shu Qingqing used to have many opportunities to befriend powerful and influential people, and many opportunities to ask them to use their privileges to help her, but she never bothered with them.
But today, after what her vampire mother did, she suddenly felt that the principles she had previously upheld were a joke.
Si Ming can lend out three million without batting an eye, while she has to work hard and put in a lot of effort to earn it.
And all of this could have been avoided before it even began.
As long as she is willing to abandon these principles and ask for help.
She recalled what Shang Duojin had just told her, and the power that Shang had behind him. For the first time, she opened up her wounds to show others.
"Yes, all my savings just vanished. I want to ask you if there's any way to stop her from gambling, or perhaps exile her to a garbage planet."
She didn't want to be so cruel, but her mother was forcing her to die.
If she had considered her even slightly before acting, she wouldn't have turned out this way.
She'd had enough after enduring so many years.
Shang Duojin did not doubt the truthfulness of Shu Qingqing's words, because she did seem to have all her energy drained away. She looked like a drooping, wilted flower that desperately needed water and soil.
He asked Shu Qingqing for detailed information about her mother and her scumbag adoptive father, and when he learned how awful those two people were, he felt utterly disgusted.
At this time, Qiao Mei and Ao Cang had also finished their visit to the holographic star monster battlefield.
I noticed something odd about the atmosphere between the two of them, and couldn't help but ask what was wrong.
Qiao Mei is Shu Qingqing's close friend, so of course she could know about this.
But not in the capital.
So after leaving the dormitory in Gongjing, the group found a coffee shop on the second floor of the academy and discussed the matter.
Qiao Mei had never heard Shu Qingqing talk about her family before, and now that she had heard it, her brows furrowed just as tightly as Ao Cang's.
"Do you need any help from me?"
She has the Xu family behind her, as well as the Li family. Making someone disappear without a trace is not a big problem for her.
