"Bullying you? You're the one bullying others! Do you know how much money we had to pay in compensation because you beat someone up and sent them to the hospital?!"
"That money will be deducted from your allowance and living expenses! You'll have to figure out how to earn it yourself from now on!"
If they weren't outside, Chu's mother would have really yelled out loud.
When she first came back, she pretended to be well-behaved, and she thought she was a good person. But after just a few days, she started to show her true colors.
"No! They insulted me first!! And there were three of them, while I was alone..."
Chu Baiyi choked up, but did not receive her mother's understanding or empathy.
"Enough!"
"Your brother is coming back from abroad next week. Do you know why he's coming back? He's here to discuss a collaboration with the Lin family! There are no secrets in the world. What will the upper circles think of us now that you've made such a scene? Are you trying to embarrass the Chu family and your brother?!"
Madam Chu interrupted sharply, even extending the issue to the entire Chu family.
"But……"
Chu Baiyi's nails dug deeply into her palms, her throat tightened, but shouldn't she pamper her biological daughter, whom she hadn't seen for over a decade, who had just returned?
"No buts!"
"I'm warning you, if you dare to cause any more scandals, you can go back to your old rural hometown! The Chu family doesn't need a daughter who only brings shame to the family!"
Madam Chu's tone was icy, which meant she had completely laid her cards on the table with Chu Baiyi. She hung up the phone and pouted, thinking that Chu Baiyi was not as obedient and submissive as before.
The call was disconnected.
Chu Baiyi stared at the blacked-out screen, her chest heaving violently, tears mingling with the undried soup in her hair as they slid down her cheeks.
Why?!
Why should she be allowed to reunite with her biological mother after being reborn, even though her own mother refuses to listen to her explanation?
She suddenly grabbed her phone and smashed it against the wall!
"Bang!"
The phone bounced back and smashed on the ground, cracking the screen with a gruesome line.
Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the restroom, accompanied by the laughter of girls. You could also vaguely hear words like "transfer student surnamed Chu" and "so funny."
She bit her lip hard until she tasted blood.
The envious glances she had imagined from them for her superior family background and appearance, and the disdainful and disgusted looks they would give Chu Zixi, were all gone.
Now she's the one who's embarrassed the whole school!!!
Damn it, what went wrong?!
Chu Baiyi turned on the tap and quickly rinsed the egg splatter from her hair with cold water. She practiced her pitiful expression three times in front of the mirror, then opened WeChat and sent a video to her brother who was far away overseas, but he didn't answer at all.
"Oh shit!!!"
The cracks in the screen have become more pronounced.
He said he would spoil her, but he was just lying to her!
Chu Baiyi suddenly realized something and quickly checked her savings; she only had less than 20,000 yuan left!
Her savings from her previous job, plus the generous red envelopes she received from the Chu family, amounted to only a little over 200,000 yuan. Although she felt that given the Chu family's wealth and status, the amount they gave was too small, she couldn't very well ask for more money since she had just returned.
During her time here, she bought a lot of mid-range luxury brands to dress herself up and make herself look like a socialite. But now her mother is saying she won't give her any living expenses or pocket money!
Is she going to take on another part-time job?!
