Chapter 170 Daydreaming
Ren Qingxue felt a little embarrassed by Yu Li's words and said unhappily, "Sister, how could you say that to me? Others can't afford to squeeze into a basement because they don't have any acquaintances in Beijing to help them."
"But sister, you are now a successful person in Beijing. Of course I am extremely proud to have such an outstanding sister as you."
"Besides, I just want to find a place to stay. I definitely won't cause any trouble for Sister Xixi. Sister, dear sister, please help me. Have you forgotten what Mom said? Sisters should help each other, right?"
This reminded Yu Li, "We should help each other. Between you and me, have you ever helped me or assisted me? You were admitted to a private university, and your family can't afford the tuition of 20,000 yuan a year."
"It was Mom who shamelessly called me, begging me to lend her money so you could go to university. Not to mention, every year on your birthday she keeps sending me messages asking me to buy you a birthday present."
"Watches, cell phones, and even the computer you want when you go to college, not to mention the travel expenses when you go out with your classmates."
Yu Li listed them one by one, and finally asked in return, "Then what about you, Ren Qingxue? Over the years, what have you done to help me or assist me in any way?"
“On my birthday, you disappear for a whole day without even a birthday greeting. Not to mention, when I ask you to pay me back, you just vanish without a trace.”
"Now you know that sisters help each other? Your so-called mutual help has always been one-sided, like a leech sucking my blood?"
Of course, the things Yu Li listed were not meant to be her saintly act of unconditionally helping Ren Qingxue's family.
Whether it was her mother Sun Wenxiu or Ren Qingxue, all the money they took from her was in the name of a loan.
Yu Li certainly wouldn't give the money directly to Ren Qingxue. Instead, she went through Sun Wenxiu and wrote IOUs for every loan, making each payment a loan.
In the future, Yu Li can use the IOU to settle every debt with the Ren family.
However, Yu Li didn't borrow much. Whether it was tuition fees, mobile phones, or computers, she only borrowed once, entirely out of gratitude to Sun Wenxiu, who was her mother.
Yu Li had told Sun Wenxiu long ago that it was fine for her to borrow money from the Ren family temporarily, but this temporary arrangement would only last until Ren Qingxue graduated from university and entered society independently.
She will not borrow another penny then, and will demand the money she borrowed before back.
In this way, she repaid Sun Wenxiu for the debt of giving birth to her, and they were even.
Unexpectedly, perhaps it was Yu Li's lending of money over the years that gave Ren Qingxue the illusion that as long as she called her "sister," she would be allowed to leech off her without any conditions.
He came to her right after graduating from university, hoping to exploit her for personal gain.
That's just wishful thinking.
"Sister, are you still my sister? How could you say such hurtful things..."
Ren Qingxue tried to use family ties to entangle Yu Li again, but then her best friend called.
I figured she must have gotten off work, and I hadn't seen Yu Li go home yet, so I was worried something might have happened to her, which is why I called.
“If you keep bothering me, I’ll have security kick you out. There are people coming and going here. If you don’t feel ashamed, you can keep bothering me.”
As expected, Ren Qingxue was still a naive college student who hadn't experienced much of the harsh realities of society. After being intimidated by Yu Li, she dared not stop them anymore.
Seeing her cowardly appearance, Yu Li didn't waste any more words with her and left directly.
Ren Qingxue watched Yu Li get into the car. Although she couldn't tell the car's brand, she could tell from its appearance that it must be very expensive.
You married a rich man and now you look down on her because you think you're so lucky?
Just you wait, one day she will climb as high as Yu Li and repay Yu Li double for the humiliation she suffered today!
But now that Ren Qingxue's purse was empty, she quickly lost her arrogance and could only stomp her feet in frustration, worrying about where she would live next.
Just as Ren Qingxue came out of the hall, a voice suddenly came from behind her: "Are you Yu Li's younger sister?"
Ren Qingxue turned her head and saw that she had never met Qi Jianyue before, so she naturally did not recognize her.
"Who are you, and how do you know my sister's name?"
Qi Jianyue introduced herself, saying, "I used to work at Lantian, but I recently resigned. I was your sister's colleague. Is there something you need from your sister?"
Qi Jianyue left Lantian in humiliation, but she was unwilling to accept it, so she returned to her good-for-nothing biological parents' home in such a dejected manner, like a stray dog.
So she lingered near the blue sky and happened to witness the struggle between Yu Li and Ren Qingxue, and heard Ren Qingxue call Yu Li "sister".
Because she was afraid of being discovered by Yu Li, Qi Jianyue stayed far away and couldn't hear very clearly what the two of them were saying.
However, it was clear that after Yu Li left without any expression, Ren Qingxue was left alone, sulking in the spot.
I immediately guessed that the two must have parted on bad terms, and judging from Yu Li's attitude towards Ren Qingxue, the relationship between the two sisters must not be harmonious.
Qi Jianyue's eyes lit up and she immediately had a new idea.
Upon hearing this, Ren Qingxue immediately began to complain to Qi Jianyue: "My sister married a rich husband and became very successful, so she looks down on me, her poor sister."
"Tell me, how can there be such a cruel and heartless sister in this world?"
Qi Jianyue looked at her with sympathy and agreement: "Your sister went too far. If I had a younger sister as ambitious as you, I would love you dearly."
Upon hearing this, Ren Qingxue was deeply moved: "Really? Sister Jianyue, you're so kind!"
Just now, after the two introduced themselves, Ren Qingxue called Qi Jianyue "sister" repeatedly, even more warmly than if she were calling her own sister.
"But as the saying goes, even if the bones are broken, the flesh and blood are still connected. Maybe your sister is just stubborn but soft-hearted. If you keep bothering her, she will definitely take you in."
Ren Qingxue was full of frustration: "I don't even know where she lives, so where am I supposed to go to bother her?"
"I do know where she lives, but you'd probably be kicked out by security before you even get to her husband's place. But you could try her best at the apartment complex where her best friend lives."
Having received the place name, Ren Qingxue repeatedly expressed her gratitude.
Looking at Ren Qingxue's foolish expression, Qi Jianyue "kindly" reminded her: "Although Lantian's recruitment starts with a bachelor's degree, in the past years, those who were successfully hired have either started with a master's degree or are from prestigious universities or returned from overseas."
"To be honest, with your private university, you probably won't even have much of a chance to showcase yourself during the interview process, and you'll be eliminated in the first round."
Ren Qingxue exclaimed in surprise, her voice filled with anxiety: "What should we do? When I left home, I made a solemn promise to my family that I would definitely be able to gain a foothold in Beijing and be more outstanding than my sister."
"Sister Jianyue, you used to work at Lantian, so you must know there are shortcuts to getting selected, right?"
