Of course, she couldn't just watch Zeng Fang being ruined, but she couldn't compromise easily, otherwise Yun Yao would find a way to find both her and Zeng Fang, and they would never have peace.
"Yun Yao, stop dreaming and don't even think about borrowing money."
Yun Yao looked at Zeng Fang behind Yun Mo, her expression full of sarcasm, "Zeng Fang, you see, you treat Yun Mo as a friend, but she doesn't take you seriously at all. She doesn't even want to lend you a few hundred dollars. What else do you expect her to do for you?"
Yun Mo was originally worried that Zeng Fang would be instigated by Yun Yao and develop a grudge and misunderstanding towards her, but the result was unexpected. Although Zeng Fang's emotions were greatly affected, her IQ was still online.
"Yun Yao, don't treat me like a fool. You asked for a few hundred today, but tomorrow it might be a few thousand, and next time it will be even more outrageous.
Yes, if that matter gets out, it will have a great impact on me, but so what? The worst that can happen is that I won’t stay in Jiang City anymore.
My family has plenty of means and ways to give me a completely new identity, so that I can live in another province or city, or even go abroad and settle down there in the future.
But Yunyao, I can assure you that even if I leave Jiang City, your future life will definitely not be easy. If you don’t believe me, just try it!"
These powerful words not only shocked Yun Mo, but also shocked Yun Yao.
Although the Yun family is wealthy and powerful, the people should not fight against the officials. With the Zeng family's connections in officialdom, if Yun Yao really offended the Zeng family, Yun Shixian would abandon her without blinking an eye for the sake of the family's interests.
Yun Mo couldn't help but give Zeng Fang a thumbs up.
Zeng Fang was originally very nervous, afraid that she would mess things up and not be able to handle it, but after receiving Yun Mo's praise, she suddenly felt relieved.
Seeing that Zeng Fang had calmed down, Yun Mo turned her head and looked at Yun Yao with a playful and mocking expression.
"As for the money, you have to figure it out on your own. Also, pay me back the 500 yuan you owe me as soon as possible. If you can't pay me 500 yuan at once, you can pay me in installments, 100 yuan a month. When do you think you'll pay me the 100 yuan this month?"
At this time Yun Yao no longer had her previous arrogance and complacency. It must be said that Zeng Fang's desperate move completely destroyed her confidence.
"At the end of the month."
Even a cornered dog will jump over the wall. Yun Mo didn't want to push people too hard, "Okay, then let's do it at the end of the month."
After saying that, Yun Yao turned around and prepared to take the two of them to Jiang Yu's room.
When Yun Yao opened the door, Yun Mo used Zeng Fang's body to block her view and quickly picked up a mahogany box on Yun Yao's dressing table.
—
Jiang Yu's room was crowded with elegantly dressed ladies and rich girls. As soon as Yun Mo and the other two entered, the noisy conversation instantly quieted down.
"Mom, Xiaomo is here."
Yun Yao came to Jiang Yu with a smile on her face, her manners dignified and generous, without any trace of the sinister and viciousness she had shown a minute ago.
The mood changed so quickly that even Yun Mo secretly admired him.
"Xiao Mo, didn't you prepare a birthday gift for mom? Take it out and show it to mom." Yun Yao smiled on the surface, but her intention was sinister.
She had long learned from Peng Fang that Yun Mo had sold the gold bracelet, but she did not tell Jiang Yu. She even mentioned the gold bracelet frequently in front of her family and friends in the past few days.
At this moment, everyone was looking forward to appreciating the birthday gift brought by Yun Mo. If Yun Mo couldn't produce it, not only would it make a fool of herself, but it would also make Jiang Yu lose face, and she would hate Yun Mo, her adopted daughter, even more.
Yun Mo was certainly not stupid enough to jump into the trap that Yun Yao had dug for her. She calmly said, "We are all children. It's not good for me to be the only one to stand out. Why don't we show off together?"
Perhaps Yun Yao did not expect Yun Mo to make this request, so she was stunned for a moment. But before she could respond, Yun Huan, who was sitting next to Jiang Yu, rushed to agree.
"My gift is still in the room, Mom, wait a minute, I'll get it now."
After saying that, he ran out like a gust of wind, and Yun Yao was too late to stop him.
Besides, there is no reason to stop it.
After being called by Yun Mo, Yun Yao had no choice but to get up and go back to her room to get the gift she had prepared for Jiang Yu.
After a while, Yun Mo, Yun Yao and Yun Huan stood in a row in front of Jiang Yu, each holding a gift.
"Mrs. Yun is so lucky. Her three daughters are all so beautiful, just like three golden flowers."
Yun Mo remained calm in the face of the compliments from the female guests. After all, she also thought she was pretty.
Yun Huan is young and childish. She becomes extremely happy when being praised by others, and her emotions are all written on her face.
Only Yun Yao was the most depressed, because she was very self-aware and knew that she was not beautiful at all.
In order to ease the awkwardness, Yun Yao spoke up to divert everyone's attention, "Shall we begin?"
"I'll go first!"
Yun Huan, who likes to show off, was the first to show her gift.
It is an oil painting of Jiang Yu's portrait.
To be honest, the painting is very good. Whether it is the artistic conception, layers or colors, it has reached a professional level.
If this painting was really created by Yun Huan, then Yun Huan must be a genius in painting.
As expected, Yun Huan's paintings drew praises from all the guests, and Jiang Yu was grinning from ear to ear.
"Good, not bad, Xiao Huan, your painting skills have improved again."
Yun Huan was so delighted by the compliments that if she had a tail, her heart would probably be lifted up to the sky.
After everyone had finished appreciating Yun Huan's oil painting, Yun Yao took the initiative to say, "Let me show you next. Although my gift is not as thoughtful as Xiao Huan's, and not very expensive, it is also a token of my love.
Mom, I wish you a happy birthday, happiness and good health. I am sorry that I didn't grow up by your side, but I will always be with you in the future and celebrate every birthday with you. "
These heartfelt words not only moved Jiang Yu, but also deeply touched the other female mothers around her.
My daughter is so considerate.
"Mom, this is the jade I specially asked the master for from the temple..."
What about jade?
Looking at the things in the mahogany box, Yun Yao was completely dumbfounded.
After a while, Yun Yao didn't take out the gift. A rich lady couldn't help but curiously lean over to take a look. Then she exclaimed: "Wow, what a beautiful gold bracelet. But why does it look familiar?"
Yun Yao woke up as if from a dream, and snapped the lid of the gift box in her hand, her expression slightly stiff and flustered.
"Sorry, I took the wrong gift. I'll go back to my room and get it."
"Wait a minute, let me see what's in your box."
What you fear will come true. Looking at Mrs. Yan walking towards her, Yun Yao's face turned visibly pale.
However, she had the advantage of living a second life. After a brief panic, Yun Yao quickly calmed down.
Good night~ (End of this chapter)
