Chapter 6 Rabbit Ear Sexy Costume
While Chu Yao was waiting for the elevator, she habitually took out her cell phone to check messages.
Only then did I understand what Qin Jiahuai meant just now.
Because of the message her mother sent her.
"Yaoyao, bring Jiahuai home for dinner tonight. I've cooked a table full of your favorite dishes."
I don’t know how to tell my mother about the divorce.
Qin Jiahuai must have received a call from his mother, so he came to see her after get off work.
Chu Yao's hand hesitated over Qin Jiahuai's number for a long time, but still didn't press it.
Qin Jiahuai said that day that since they were divorced, he had no obligation to help her anymore.
Besides, this matter can't be kept secret for long.
Go confess today.
Chu Yao turned around and went out, planning to take a taxi to her mother's place.
As soon as I walked out of the community, I saw Qin Jiahuai's car turning back.
He stopped in front of her and opened the passenger door.
His dark and slightly cold gaze fell on her: "Get in the car."
Chu Yao hesitated for a moment and sat down.
Qin Jiahuai, like before, moved sideways to fasten her seat belt, but Chu Yao raised her hand to block him.
She lowered her head and tied it herself, muttering, "I owe you a favor this time. When we have time to discuss the division of property later, you can get a bigger share."
Qin Jiahuai stared at her silently for a while, then retracted his gaze and said slowly, "Then thank you first."
Chu Yao didn't say a word.
Oh.
You really want it.
-
Half an hour later.
Chu Yao stood at her mother's door and knocked.
This house belongs to Chu Yao's mother Song Huiping and her current husband.
Chu Yao's father died of a work-related accident when she was four years old.
Song Huiping remarried in the same year and soon had Cheng Yiyi. The family of three used to live in another city and only moved back to Fengpu City in recent years.
Chu Yao lived with her grandmother when she was a child, but Song Huiping would also give the two of them some living expenses.
Chu Yao doesn't like Song Huiping's husband, but she has no grudge against Cheng Yiyi.
Cheng Yiyi has relied on her sister since she was a child, and often comes to Fengpu City to visit her alone.
Song Huiping also knew Chu Yao's attitude, so she would always call her and Qin Jiahuai to come over for dinner when her husband was not at home.
Chu Yao has always felt that it would be good for them to maintain this kind of relationship.
They are not dependent on each other.
She still has relatives in this world.
Soon, Song Huiping came over to open the door.
Qin Jiahuai was still very polite in front of his elders and called out "Mom".
Song Huiping was wearing an apron and holding a spatula. She looked at them with a gentle smile and said, "Come in quickly."
Chu Yao followed her mother in first.
As soon as I entered, I heard Cheng Yiyi singing from the closed room.
Cheng Yiyi has stopped studying for a long time and has been doing live broadcasts to make money.
Chu Yao didn't disturb her. She put down the gift she bought for her mother on the way and went to the kitchen to help her.
Song Huiping smiled and waved her hand: "No, no, you and Jiahuai just sit together and wait for dinner."
Perhaps because the mother and daughter have never lived together, distance and courtesy are inevitable.
Chu Yao hesitated for a moment, but still insisted: "I'll help you wash the vegetables."
Song Huiping did not try to persuade her any further.
In the kitchen, one person washes vegetables and the other cuts them.
There was silence for several minutes.
Song Huiping suddenly spoke solemnly: "Yaoyao...Mom wants to ask you a favor."
Chu Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling.
The last time she spoke in this tone, she was saying that she and her husband had failed in business in another city and wanted to return to Fengpu City. She asked her to borrow money to buy a house... and she lent it.
This is the apartment I live in now.
Seeing Chu Yao remained silent, Song Huiping felt somewhat uneasy.
She hesitated for a moment, knowing she was in trouble, but she continued, "Yiyi was deceived by someone."
"She originally ran that livestream herself, and although she could make some money if she was lucky, her future was uncertain."
"A while ago, a live streaming guild approached her and said that if she signed a contract, she would be given a fixed monthly salary."
"Yiyi signed...but after she did, she realized that the guild required her to livestream for 20 hours every day and reach a certain number of viewers before they would pay her...which she simply couldn't achieve."
"She wanted to withdraw from the club, but she was forced to pay several million in liquidated damages. If she couldn't pay, she had to continue livestreaming..."
Chu Yao already understood what Song Huiping meant.
She interrupted directly, "Before signing the contract, Yiyi asked me about it, and I told her straight out that there were a lot of scams involved. I also said that the contract was full of traps. I told her not to sign it, because if she did, she would be at a disadvantage in the future in a lawsuit. She was all like, 'OK, OK, OK' at the time, so why did she sign it anyway?"
Song Huiping lowered her head and said unconfidently, "Yiyi said it was brought by an old friend, and that it would be fine as long as her old friend signed it."
Chu Yao fell silent.
She turned on the faucet.
The water splashed onto her hands.
Song Huiping's eyes gradually turned red, and she said with guilt and uneasiness: "Yaoyao, Mom knows I'm sorry for you, but Yiyi is not like you. You went to a good university, but she didn't even get into high school..."
Chu Yao's hands froze and her eyes darkened.
Song Huiping's voice choked with sobs: "If it weren't for that incident in junior high school... her life wouldn't be like this now. She might have a respectable job like you..."
Chu Yao turned off the faucet.
Fengpu City is still very cold in March.
Her hands turned red from the cold water.
Every time she came to her mother's house, she was reluctant to turn on the hot water to wash things because she knew her mother was not well off and had to use a water heater to heat the water, and she was afraid of wasting electricity.
But she suddenly noticed that Song Huiping used hot water to wash vegetables.
I keep saving money and don’t know why.
Chu Yao pursed her lips and confessed her difficulties: "Mom, the money you used to buy the house has not been returned to me yet. I lent Yiyi money half a year ago, and she hasn't returned it either. Last month I bought a new cemetery for my dad..."
Song Huiping immediately said, "A few million is nothing to Jiahuai. Besides, wasn't the apartment in Jiahuai's name registered in your name before we got married? It's your own property, right? Can you mortgage the house... You only have one sister, Yiyi, so there's really nothing I can do..."
Chu Yao mustered up her courage: "Qin Jiahuai and I have already..."
Before she could finish her words, Cheng Yiyi suddenly walked in, took Chu Yao's arm, put her head on her shoulder, and said to her coquettishly: "Sister, please help me just this once... I really can't stand it anymore."
Chu Yao tilted her head and looked at her.
Cheng Yiyi was still wearing a rabbit-ear costume for live broadcasts. The cut was very low, and there was a fluffy tail on the back. She had heavy makeup on for the live broadcast. Her eyes were tired, and her lips were very chapped. She probably didn't even have time to drink water.
You can see that she is really tired.
Cheng Yiyi pleaded with her pitifully, "Sister, I promise this is the last time... After I quit this guild, I'll find a job at a decent shop and make milk tea. I promise to pay you back soon!"
Millions...shake milk tea to pay back?
Moreover, Chu Yao was really powerless.
A few million is really nothing to Qin Jiahuai.
But why should he help her now?
As for the house...she really didn't want to mortgage it.
She no longer has a home or a husband, and the job she just found is still in the internship stage. She doesn't know if she can keep it for long.
I don't want to lose my house.
She shook her head, firmly this time.
Cheng Yiyi curled her lips, suddenly becoming very excited, and her voice rose a few notches: "Sister! My accident back then was also because of you. Besides, your father has been dead for so many years, and you only have mom and me as your relatives in the world! How could you just watch me die?"
