Chu Baiyi considered what she needed to buy and made her request, but the other end hung up as if they hadn't heard her.
Chu's father even gave a light scoff after hanging up the phone.
"When she comes back, you should give her a good talking-to. All she talks about is money. Does she think she's living a luxurious life outside?"
Chu's mother was also speechless, and frowned in agreement.
"That's right. I didn't realize she was such a greedy person when she first came back. How can a girl spend so much money? She's a grown woman, can't she go and get a job?"
"She's not even as good as an adopted daughter."
"Oh dear, it's because she's not around. It must be someone outside who corrupted her."
Chu's parents both agreed that they needed to properly teach Chu Baiyi about the importance of spending money.
Their money didn't come easily. In recent years, the business has been sluggish and the company hasn't made much money. The Chu family can be said to be on a downward spiral, so it's even less likely that they would spend money on this unfamiliar biological daughter.
After all, the money is meant to be left for the son; daughters are like water spilled from a cup, only sons can support them in their old age!

"Your dormitory is Room 302 in Lanyuan."
As school was about to end, the homeroom teacher took Chu Baiyi, who had been staying in the school clinic, back to her dormitory.
Her luggage was also sent to the school by Chu's mother.
Chu Baiyi, pushing her suitcase, nodded numbly.
The homeroom teacher led Chu Baiyi to the dormitory door and knocked on it.
"This is Chu Baiyi, the new transfer student. She'll be staying here from now on."
The girl in the dormitory opened the door, and the other two girls stopped what they were doing and looked up.
Chu Baiyi stood at the door without going in, her gaze sweeping across the room.
Four bunk beds, a slightly cramped desk, a few celebrity posters on the wall, and a faint smell of instant noodles in the air.
She frowned, her fingers unconsciously tightening around the suitcase handle, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.
"Right here? You want me to live in such a filthy and chaotic place..."
She muttered softly, her tone revealing reluctance.
All three of them stopped using their electronic devices. Chu Baiyi's voice wasn't quiet. The dormitory head, a straightforward person, hated this kind of self-important young lady the most. Upon hearing this, she immediately frowned and retorted, "What? If you're not satisfied, you can commute. Why come to live in such a dirty and messy place?"
Chu Baiyi glanced at her without saying a word, but the contempt in her eyes clearly showed her attitude.
"Oh dear, has the Qing Dynasty forgotten that they still consider themselves a young lady from a feudal society?"
"How about you ask the principal to get you a single suite?"
Another girl sneered and deliberately raised her voice.
The reason there are still empty seats in their dorm is because the previous rich girl had just been driven away in anger, and unexpectedly, the teacher sent them another rich girl. What bad luck!
Chu Baiyi's face darkened slightly, but she still managed to hold back her anger. She simply looked at the homeroom teacher and said calmly, "I just think the dormitory environment shouldn't be like a garbage dump. Eating instant noodles, which have such a strong smell, in the dormitory is unacceptable. Can't we just go out to eat?"
"What do you mean? We're in our final year of high school, studying every minute of every day. Who has time to be so picky about eating instant noodles outside?"
The girls eating instant noodles were unhappy and stood up abruptly. They were all looking at their review materials on their tablets while eating, so they didn't have much time to go out and find a place to eat and then come back.
Chu Baiyi didn't answer, but instead pulled a tissue from her pocket and covered her nose with a disgusted expression.
The dorm leader had recently been scolded by her family for not doing well on her exams, so she couldn't control her temper and snapped: "What are you pretending for! If you don't like it, then don't live here! Teacher, please take her to another dorm. Our dorm doesn't welcome her!"
