Qiao Shan never expected to hear such a sentence come out of Shi Qianqian's mouth.
She wasn't like this before.
"Now that you're living a good life, you don't want us to live a good life either?" Qiao Shan felt it was unfair: "You and your brother are living the high life, while your uncle and I are struggling to make ends meet every day. How can you bear to see that? Qianqian, your uncle and I were desperate this time, that's why we came to you."
She started persuading him again, resorting to force if gentle persuasion failed, and if force failed, she would play the victim.
Shi Qianqian remained unmoved. If she had money, she might not have been so conscious of filling their bottomless pit, but the problem was that she had no money: "I have no money."
Qiao Shan placed all her hopes on her: "If you don't have money, you can ask Tang Yaoyao for it. She loves you so much, she can probably give you a million or two."
She coaxed Shi Qianqian relentlessly, bringing up old grievances: "Think back to when you were still an infant, your uncle and I adopted you. Why didn't we bring Fei Bai back? We insisted on raising you to adulthood because we loved you dearly. Your aunt was strict with you before, but that was all for your own good..."
"Don't try to fool me with nice things." Shi Qianqian pulled her hand away, not wanting to hear what he was saying. "You didn't care about my brother because he has autism and doesn't like to talk. You were afraid of spending more time and money to treat him, so you abandoned him. You raised me because I'm healthy and easy to take care of, and it didn't cost you any money."
She didn't know before, but now she knows everything.
She wasn't so naive as to think that only her uncle and aunt were the best to her in the world.
She doesn't only have their family.
Only after experiencing better things, seeing a wider world, and associating with better people can one realize how cruel that family was.
She understands now.
Qiao Shan realized that Shi Qianqian was out of control. She would never have said such things to her before: "What's wrong with you? Did they say something to you that made you misunderstand me so much? Let me tell you, your uncle gambled away that million. Now we have no money and can only wait to die."
All they care about is money.
Without money, you can't survive.
Shi Qianqian felt disgusted by what she was saying. If they had any ability, they wouldn't be so anxious about money every day: "Then you can just wait to die."
She hardened her heart, stopped communicating with Qiao Shan, and went to the school.
Qiao Shan was furious. Seeing that Shi Qianqian was unyielding and with so many students present, she plopped down on the ground and said, "Ouch, my stomach! Shi Qianqian, you unfilial daughter! I raised you all these years, and now you don't even recognize your aunt because you've entered a wealthy family! How could I have raised such an ingrate?"
"I'm pregnant with your brother now, are you telling us to just wait to die? You're forcing me to die, two lives lost together."
Qiao Shan cried and shouted, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
For Shi Qianqian, her actions were extremely shameful.
But based on her understanding of Qiao Shan, she herself wouldn't think that someone would do anything for profit, regardless of the means, and would have no shame.
Sure enough, they all went forward to watch the spectacle.
They looked around at Qiao Shan, then at Shi Qianqian who walked in with an indifferent expression.
Some of them were Shi Qianqian's classmates, and others knew Shi Qianqian.
Tang Yaoyao's visit to the school caused such a sensation that it's not surprising that we know her.
Joanne was crying and sobbing, looking so pitiful that even the naive students felt sorry for her.
"Shi Qianqian, is this your aunt from the countryside?"
"I thought Tang Yaoyao was your sister, and that your family was doing well. I never expected you to be so ungrateful and abandon your aunt."
“Your aunt is pregnant, and you treat her like this? How can you live with yourself? You can’t forget your roots.”
"You have no conscience. You've risen to a high position and forgotten your own family. How could Tang Yaoyao possibly recognize you as her sister?"
Those unaware of the truth know that Qiao Shan, as her aunt, raised her to adulthood only to be abandoned.
Those with compassion would find Shi Qianqian hateful and vicious, capable of abandoning even her own roots.
Most people are criticizing Shi Qianqian for being heartless.
In addition, Qiao Shan's crying scene moved many sentimental people to tears.
It would be a shame if they didn't become actors.
Shi Qianqian looked at these people, and at Qiao Shan who was completely giving up, and coldly replied: "What do you know? Gossiping like this, do you even know my situation? Have you experienced what I went through? You're just judging things by your own eyes, and your hearts are blind. Instead of sympathizing with others, why don't you sympathize with yourselves!"
After she finished speaking, she walked into the school without showing any reaction.
I won't watch any of Qiao Shan's performances.
But everyone was still blinded, and some people even helped Qiao Shan up and took her to a nearby milk tea shop to let her rest for a while.
Qiao Shan used even more exaggerated language to belittle Shi Qianqian, to the point that she even called in urban reporters for an interview.
Many people also filmed the scene at the school gate, where Qiao Shan fell to the ground and Shi Qianqian walked into the school indifferently.
Then it turned into a huge news story.
Shi Qianqian never imagined she would become a celebrity, and the first time she appeared in the public eye, she was accused of being unfilial and not supporting her uncle and aunt who raised her.
Qiao Shan tearfully told the city reporter, "Shi Qianqian is the child I raised. She is seventeen years old now and lives with her brother, who is the famous professional gamer Hero. I raised her with great difficulty, but these siblings don't recognize us anymore. Our lives are so hard."
“I’m not like other parents who don’t care about their children. Do you think it was easy for me to raise Shi Qianqian all these years? I’m not their biological parents, I’m their uncle and aunt. How could anyone be as devoted to them as I am? Especially Shi Qianqian, after she married into a wealthy family, she doesn’t recognize me as her aunt anymore. It’s heartbreaking.”
