Chapter 40: Borrowed Fortune (I)
"Wait a moment, my driver is here."
After that, a luxury car worth millions appeared in front of the bus stop. Passersby looked at the girl in blue school uniform who got into the luxury car with surprise.
It was only after the blue balloon got on the car that I saw the barrage of comments.
"Oh my god! Your family is so rich! I thought you were planning to take the bus."
The blue balloon smiled and said, "My driver usually picks me up here. I get on the bus here every day after school."
【Why don't you just wait near the school? 】
Hearing this, Blue Balloon said embarrassedly, "There are too many people near my school. I'm worried about running into people I know, so I ask the driver to wait for me at this bus stop every day."
[I see. Are you afraid of being watched?]
The blue balloon said, "That's not the case. My cousin said that wealth should not be displayed publicly. It would be bad if someone we know saw it and got into trouble."
Your cousin is right about that. It's okay to see strangers, but the worst thing is seeing someone you know. Many people who frame wealthy others out of jealousy are usually people they know.
The blue balloon chatted with everyone along the way.
She has a lively personality and generous manners.
The audience enjoyed chatting with this high school student.
Then, the blue balloon suddenly thought of something, and a trace of worry appeared on his face: "Sister Wei Xi, I suddenly thought of something."
Wei Xi: "You say."
Blue Balloon: "Yesterday my mom told me that a manufacturer that often came to my house to get goods suddenly stopped signing a contract with us. And lately, I've seen her with a worried look on her face. I suspect there's something wrong with my business, and I'm not sure if this will work out."
"Then let me help you take a look." Wei Xi said, and then she counted with her fingers. It didn't matter, but she was shocked when she calculated it.
"Why did your family's business start to go bad?" Wei Xi asked.
Blue Balloon thought about it carefully after hearing this and said, "It seems like it was about a month ago. At that time, my clothing factory had a problem with a batch of fabrics, which led to many customers returning the goods. I lost a lot of money because of this."
"My family has never had any business problems before. Ever since my father and mother opened this garment factory, everything has gone smoothly and it has grown bigger and stronger."
Blue Balloon never stopped talking when she talked about her family's clothing factory.
"My parents started from scratch. At that time, all the relatives around us didn't agree with my parents opening this clothing factory, but my parents were braver than others and succeeded in starting a business."
"As the garment factory's business got better and better, our relatives' attitudes towards our family changed. Some flattered us, while others were jealous. Later, only my cousin's family didn't covet our money, so our relationship became the best."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly heard the host say in her ear: "Don't go to your cousin's house, she wants to harm you!"
After the words fell, the blue balloon was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "My cousin wants to harm me? Impossible?"
Wei Xi said bluntly, "It's not just your cousin, your aunt as well. You might not know this yet, but they've been eyeing your clothing factory for a long time. Especially in recent years, your clothing business has been doing so well, and your aunt's family has been getting more and more jealous."
"Especially your cousin is jealous that you have good parents who will spoil you and give you money to spend."
Lan's face turned pale, still in disbelief, "She wants to harm me, what good can she get?"
"Are you going to take the college entrance exam in a couple of days?"
Blue Balloon: "...Yes."
"Your cousin has poor grades and might not even be able to get into college, but you're smart and a good student. Not only is she jealous of your family's wealth, but you're also jealous of your excellent grades. Every time you help her with her homework, it seems like you're helping her, but in her eyes, you're just showing off your superiority."
"So your cousin asked you to come over for dinner today. Her intention was to put drugs in your food so that you would break out in hives and fail the college entrance exam."
[Fuck, this is too vicious, right?]
[I just thought her cousin was a nice person.]
The college entrance examination is extremely important to every college entrance examination candidate. If someone cannot take the exam, isn't that more painful than killing them?
The blue balloon's face turned pale because of the host's words.
She always thought her cousin was a good person, but it turned out to be this kind of person?
She felt terrified when she thought that such a cousin had been lurking and hiding beside her for so many years.
Wei Xi saw it and said, "If you want to verify it, go and try it."
At this time, Blue Balloon's cell phone rang.
She opened it and saw that it was her cousin calling.
In the past, she would have been very happy to receive a call from her cousin.
However, when she thought about what Sister Wei Xi had just said and looked at the phone again, she felt complicated.
After the call was connected, my cousin's cheerful voice came from the phone.
"Lanlan, why haven't you arrived yet? The food my mom cooked is almost cold."
The blue balloon moved its lips and said with mixed emotions, "Cousin, I may not be able to go today. My driver was late picking me up because of something, and now my car has a flat tire while we're driving on the road."
"Ah! Why are you so unlucky? Today is my birthday."
Blue Balloon lied for the first time in her life. She lowered her head and twisted her fingers, saying, "Sorry? Cousin, I may not be able to go today."
"No!" The voice on the phone suddenly rose.
Then the other person seemed to realize his reaction and quickly said, "Lanlan, today is my birthday. You can't not come. You always came to my birthday in previous years. How about this? Tell me your address and I'll have my dad drive to pick you up, okay?"
Blue Balloon: "But I'm already taking the bus home alone." To prevent her from having another excuse, she quickly said, "Cousin, maybe next time? I'll come to your house next time."
"My birthday will be over next time, right? Except tomorrow. If you don't come tomorrow, I'll just pretend I don't have you as a friend."
The blue balloon's eyes dimmed.
She hadn't noticed it before, but now she suddenly realized that her cousin often said this. If she didn't do what she asked, she would always mention breaking up with her.
She was always in the wrong hands because of these words, but now she realized that she was just taking advantage of her loneliness and lack of friends to threaten her.
[This cousin's viciousness is almost overflowing from her face. The college entrance examination is the day after tomorrow. Is she afraid of missing the opportunity to poison someone?]
[She even threatened Lan Lan. Was she sure she couldn't bear to leave her as a friend?]
The blue balloon already knew her true identity, so he said bluntly, "Then just pretend you don't have a friend like me."
After saying that, she hung up immediately.
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a few seconds.
