"Oh my, it's only been a week or two since I last saw her, and Qianqian has gained a lot of weight and looks much prettier than before. She's dressed like a city girl now," Qiao Shan said with satisfaction.
Shi Qianqian stood there, quietly watching her aunt, feeling that there was no need for her to come looking for her; there must be something she wanted to discuss.
But she didn't want to bother Tang Yaoyao anymore, so she chose to face it on her own.
"What do you want from me?" Shi Qianqian asked coldly.
She went from being afraid that her aunt didn't love her niece to a cold girl who didn't need her and didn't want to see her.
She met more people and saw more of the world before she realized that what her aunt felt for her was not love.
She doesn't need love that's so cheap.
She felt that Tang Yaoyao was the best to her.
Qiao Shan thought she was still the same Shi Qianqian: "Look at all the things you brought to school. They must have been prepared for you by the Fu family. The Fu family is rich, so take whatever you have. Don't be shy. Look at your brother, he's practically the Fu family's son now. It's not too much for you to take a little."
Given the Fu family's immense wealth, even if they were given a hundred million, they wouldn't be able to afford it.
It might be as little as a fingernail.
Qiao Shan fantasized that if Hero didn't give her a million, she could get a hundred million from the Fu family instead.
She simply didn't ask for it.
The idea is extremely greedy and simplistic.
Shi Qianqian said, "You didn't come just to see me, did you? Get to the point, I'm going in now, I still have to catch up on my lessons."
Qiao Shan didn't want to mince words and went straight to the point: "Qianqian, you've been in the city for almost a month now. Has your brother given you any pocket money? Has the Fu family given you any money?"
She even fantasized that the allowance they gave Shi Qianqian was more than what they gave them.
Earning one or two million a month should be quite normal, right?
Even if Shi Qianqian gets this much pocket money a month, she won't spend it recklessly.
That wasn't her money; it was the Fu family's money.
Shi Qianqian understood her snobbish and greedy nature: "I don't have any money. I don't need money to eat at school, so I don't have any money."
Qiao Shan's expression changed, and she continued to ask, "Your brother brought you back, which means he accepts you. How could you not have money? Are you lying to me?"
Shi Qianqian didn't want to hide it either. Some things require courage to overcome. She wanted to leave that family and no longer be afraid of her aunt's dislike for her: "I'm not lying to you. Even if I had money, I wouldn't give it to you. My brother has already paid off the child support."
"You want to sever ties with me?" Qiao Shan's expression changed instantly, her tone becoming much sharper than before: "I brought you to the city, not so you could turn into an ingrate. What did I tell you back then? Even if you come to the Fu family, you can't forget your uncle and aunt. Do you know how hard it was for us to raise you?"
Thinking of all this, Shi Qianqian still felt a chill in her heart. Some shadows were caused by her childhood and could never be erased in this lifetime: "My brother has already paid it off. After I came to the Fu family, I realized how hard it was to stay by your side. They treated me a hundred times better than you did, no, thousands, tens of thousands, countless times better."
Qiao Shan was angered by her and began her moral blackmail: "Your brother has paid off your child support, so you are also involved with us. You are the child we raised, and you will be for life. As for the Fu family, what do they have to do with you? We are the closest people to you. The Fu family's money has made you arrogant, hasn't it? It has made you forget your aunt."
Shi Qianqian was used to her speaking like this; she was always the one who blamed others for her mistakes.
It's the same for everyone.
They never recognize their own mistakes.
Shi Qianqian walked inside, not wanting to confront her; continuing the conversation would only cause her trouble.
Qiao Shan grabbed her arm and scolded, "Why do you want to leave? What I said was wrong. The reason I brought you to the city was not so that you would sever ties with us, but so that you could help me when we are in trouble. If your brother can't help, you can help us!"
She felt that Shi Qianqian was easier to talk to.
It was her Achilles' heel.
"To tell you the truth, we've already used up your brother's million. We still need money. Without money, neither your uncle nor I can survive."
Shi Qianqian was somewhat surprised; one million was not a small amount for them.
It's a lot of money.
As long as they live a peaceful life in their later years, they have nothing to worry about.
Why did we suddenly run out of supplies?
Besides, she didn't know if they were deceiving her.
I guess I said that to scare her.
Shi Qianqian said, "I have nothing to do with you anymore. Why do you need to tell me if you have money to spend? I can't earn money for you. I'm still a high school student. Don't bother me. If you have money, can't you earn it yourself instead of relying on others for charity!"
"The money my brother gave you was enough to live comfortably in that small county town. You were doing just fine even without my brother, so why can't you live now!"
