Cheng Xiaohui nervously pulled Li Xiyue aside and said, "Daughter! We have too much money. My right eyelid keeps twitching..."
Li Xiyue said, "Mom, haven't you had enough of being poor? Isn't having money better than not having money?"
Cheng Xiaohui said, "Of course, having money is better than not having money. But... I'm afraid..."
"Child, you're still young. You don't know what happened in the past. Your father's family used to be wealthy, but then..."
She was truly terrified. Because of Li Wenbo's family problems, the two of them were sent to work in the countryside. While everyone else was able to return to the city, they were almost always among the last to do so...
She feared that the good days wouldn't last long before things went back to normal...
Li Xiyue said, "Mom, it won't happen this time. Please trust me. This time we can do business steadily and without fear of doing any size business. In the future, I want to make big money overseas by expanding our business internationally!"
Li Wenbo said, "My daughter has our family's excellent bloodline and a business mind!"
If you can really expand your business overseas, you might even see your grandfather again!
Li Xiyue took out the letters and diaries that Li Yin had given her from her small military green shoulder bag.
Li Wenbo looked at the things Li Xiyue handed him with surprise. He flipped through the letters and involuntarily wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Daughter, what's going on? How did you end up with these letters?"
Li Xiyue said, "These are all things that Jin Cuicui hid. Those diaries also contain records of what you and Mu Jiuhong said, discussing matters related to relatives overseas. I guess she wants to have something on you and use it to threaten you at a crucial moment."
Li Wenbo said angrily, "What a misfortune for our family. I thought that at least distant relatives wouldn't have bad intentions to harm you or our family."
But I never imagined she could be so utterly wicked! If it weren't for her, our family would be perfectly fine!
As he spoke, he slammed his fist on the table. If it weren't for Jin Cuicui, would he have been able to divorce Cheng Xiaohui and be separated from his daughter for eighteen years?
Because of this incident, his daughter still hasn't forgiven him!
Just as the family was talking, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Li Yan walked in and immediately saw the stack of money on the table. She was so startled that she took a step back.
She has never lacked money since she was a child, but she has never seen so much money before.
She pointed at the money in surprise and said, "Dad, how come there's so much money in the house? You...you didn't rob a bank, did you?!"
Li Wenbo scolded, "How can you talk like that? This is all money that Sister Ni earned!"
Why did you go back to your grandma's house again these past few days? You should go back less often if you don't have anything to do with it; your mother is a terrible mother!
"You really got into trouble this time. Your aunt was a witness for you; otherwise, would you have gotten out of the police station so easily?"
Li Yan said, "I really didn't go anywhere. I was at home that day. My grandma missed me, so what's wrong with me staying at her house for a couple of days?"
As she spoke, she walked towards the table, her eyes practically glued to the money.
With so much money, you could buy as many pretty dresses as you wanted!
She reached out and touched the money, saying, "Dad! Give me a bundle of money. You have so much, can you give me a bundle? I want to go to the mall to buy a pretty new dress and leather sandals."
Before Li Wenbo could speak, she reached out and grabbed a bundle.
A bundle of "Big Unity" coins is worth 1000 yuan!
Her mother only earns thirty or forty yuan a month, and less than 400 yuan a year. This bundle of money is equivalent to the money her mother could save by working for two years without eating or drinking!
Li Wenbo hurriedly reached out, took the bundle of money back from Li Yan's hand, and put it back in its original place.
He said, "That won't do. This is your older sister's money. You can't touch it."
Cheng Xiaohui said, "Xiaoyan, if you want to buy leather sandals and a new dress, Auntie will take you to buy them. You really can't touch this money."
Li Yan's lips twitched violently, and she sneered, "Isn't the money my eldest sister earns the family's money? What's wrong with that? Can't she use the money she earns?"
Li Wenbo said, "We haven't skimped on your food or drink, and we've bought you plenty of clothes and shoes. Why do you insist on taking the money your older sister earns?"
Your older sister makes money in business, and she invests it in even bigger businesses.
What do you want? I'll give the money to your auntie, and she can take you to the mall to buy it!
As he spoke, he took out 20 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Cheng Xiaohui.
Li Yan stared at the two flimsy ten-yuan bills, her teeth practically grinding to dust. Li Xiyue had a whole table full of money, more than she could count, and her father only gave her 20 yuan to buy clothes and shoes…
She was so angry her teeth ached. Back when her mother was home, she could take her parents' money without a second thought!
She sneered and said, "Who do you think you are? You think you can get rid of me with 20 yuan? My aunt gives me more than that. Are you even my real father?"
Li Wenbo said, "How am I not your biological father? I'll buy you whatever you want, okay?"
Li Yan said, "I want to put a TV in my room, will you buy it for me?!"
Li Wenbo said, "Don't we have a TV in the living room? Can't you watch it in the living room?"
Cheng Xiaohui watched helplessly as the father and daughter were about to fight. She said, "Xiaoyan, if you want to watch TV in your room, your dad and I will move the TV to your room in a little while."
Li Xiyue said, "Why? The TV in the house is for everyone to watch, so why is it in her room and only she can watch it?"
Li Yan said, "It's my choice! What, you don't agree? My dad agreed, so what right do you have to tell me what to do?"
Li Xiyue said, "I don't agree! If you're not happy, go to your grandma's house right now!"
Li Yan stomped her foot in anger and grabbed her father's arm, saying, "Dad, look, my older sister is bullying me! Aren't you going to do anything about her? I just want a TV, so what?"
Li Xiyue said, "If you want stars tomorrow, are we going to go up to the sky and pluck them for you? Who do you think you are?!"
Your mother is Mu Jiuhong, not my mother, and you are not my biological sister. We have no obligation to you!
To put it bluntly, your mother doesn't want you, but my mother is willing to raise you entirely out of kindness. She has no obligation to you whatsoever!
Li Yan's eyes widened. Li Xiyue was clearly saying that she was superfluous in this family!
She said through gritted teeth, "Dad, aren't you going to do anything about her? She's bullying me!"
Li Wenbo pressed his throbbing temples with his fingers and said, "Xiao Yan! You need to reflect on this matter. The TV belongs to everyone, so why can only you watch it?"
And whatever you want, your dad and aunt will buy it for you. What more could you possibly want?!
