Zhou Huilan: "..."
Zhou Huilan was furious. Zhou Chuyu was no good, so why were all these people siding with her?
"Zhou Chuyu! Zhou Chuyu!"
Chu Yu argued back at her, and Zhou Huilan might not have been that angry, but Chu Yu's ignoring her made Zhou Huilan feel uncomfortable from the inside out.
So what if you went to college? You look down on your poor aunt. What's the use of a niece like that?
"She got away last time; it was purely out of luck," Zhou Huilan thought angrily as she stormed out of Tsinghua University, muttering under her breath.
"Damn Zhou Chuyu, if I ever run into you, I'll make sure you're dead!"
A girl to her right, upon hearing this, suddenly looked up, paused for a moment, and then said incredulously:
"Aunt Zhou?"
Zhou Huilan composed herself, feeling a sense of familiarity with the girl before her. After a long while, it dawned on her. "Xu Yiyi? You're Dai Qinxue's daughter, Xu Yiyi! Good! I've finally caught you. Your mother swindled my brother out of his money and ran away. You and your mother are definitely in cahoots. I'm warning you, pay back the money right now, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Dai Qinxue did indeed run off with Zhou Jian'an's money. It was originally agreed that she would take Xu Yiyi to Guangdong Province after she graduated.
However, Xu Yiyi couldn't leave Zhao Hanqiao, so the two decided to stay in Beijing to work hard. After graduating from university, Xu Yiyi passed the exam for an administrative position at Tsinghua University and stayed there.
She had only been here a short time when she unexpectedly ran into Zhou Huilan.
“Aunt Zhou, you’ve misunderstood me. My mother did run off with Uncle Zhou’s money, I don’t deny that, but she hasn’t contacted me since she left. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to stay in Beijing to work. Not to mention you, I hate that person to death too.”
Zhou Huilan was skeptical. "Your mother only has you as her daughter. If she ran away to live a better life, would she not contact you? Who would believe such a thing!"
"Really, Aunt Zhou, you have to believe me!" Xu Yiyi looked weak and was good at acting pitiful. She stared at Zhou Huilan with teary eyes, "Aunt Zhou, I really don't know where my mother went. After my mother left, she never took care of me again. I have to earn my living expenses by working."
Xu Yiyi was so deceptive that Zhou Huilan believed her to some extent. "You really don't know where she went?"
“I really didn’t know. Uncle Zhou is so good to me. I treat him like my own father. I would never lie to him!” Xu Yiyi wiped her eyes as she recalled the rumors about Zhou Jian’an and tentatively asked, “By the way, Aunt Zhou, where is Uncle Zhou? I haven’t been able to contact him for a long time.”
Zhou Huilan started talking about her younger brother's business dealings, saying, "Where could he have gone? You know the mutual aid society, right? He swindled tens of millions of yuan from people and ran off with the money to Hong Kong! Now he's living the high life in Hong Kong, and he's completely forgotten about his country sister! It's better not to mention a brother like that!"
Xu Yiyi gasped. She never imagined that Zhou Jian'an was even more insane than Dai Qinxue.
Dai Qinxue only deceived a few men, making them support her, and the amount of money she defrauded was only tens of thousands of yuan.
Zhou Jian'an surpassed his predecessor, defrauding victims of tens of millions of yuan!
To put this into perspective, Xu Yiyi couldn't earn this much money even in her next life. If she had known Zhou Jian'an was so rich, she should have stopped Dai Qinxue from running away and instead stayed by Zhou Jian'an's side to gain his trust.
Xu Yiyi was filled with regret. "Aunt Zhou, do you know Uncle Zhou's address? I miss him so much and want to write him a letter."
"I don't know, why would they tell me that!"
Zhou Huilan waved her hands impatiently. Her hair was messy, her cotton-padded jacket was old, and she looked like a madwoman at first glance.
"So, Aunt, you came to Tsinghua University to find..."
"It's that Zhou Chuyu again! I wanted to ask her about her grandmother's whereabouts, but she just turned around and ran away when she saw me," Zhou Huilan was furious. She felt that she had been having a really bad run of luck lately, and nothing she did went right. Today, she even stumbled on Zhou Chuyu. It was truly unbelievable.
Xu Yiyi looked slightly puzzled, "Did Grandma come looking for Chu Yu?"
"That's right. My mom came to her asking for money, but I don't know if she got it or not. She just disappeared. She has no place to live in Beijing and hasn't gone back to her hometown. I don't know where to look for her."
Zhou Huilan's worried expression made Xu Yiyi fall into deep thought.
Need money?
She suddenly remembered the gossip among her colleagues, saying that a grandmother came to her granddaughter asking for money, threatening to sell her granddaughter to the mountains to have babies for an old man if she didn't get the money.
Her granddaughter was no pushover either, and refused to comply no matter what. Later, she even called the police. After the police arrived, the grandmother suddenly changed her tune, lay on the ground blowing bubbles, and said that she was mentally ill.
