At the sight that she was really going to ignore her, Lin Meiqi did not care about her face and pride anymore. She clutched onto Chi Enen’s hands tightly, sobbing and sniffing, “Enen, even if you don’t take into account your maternal grandpa’s face, you have to think about your mom who passed away early. You can’t leave me like this. If you don’t help your uncle and me, we really don’t have any other ways out.”
“Why is my life so miserable? If my elder sister was still alive, she would definitely not leave her only sister like this. To think that in the past, we went to school together, we… ”
Chi Enen had heard these words so many times that calluses were forming in her ears. She looked numb as she waited for Lin Meiqi to finish wailing.
“If your mom had not met that irresponsible man, Chi Jianguo, had not been cheated by him and gotten herself pregnant, she might still be alive and well now.” As Lin Meiqi wailed, she suddenly seemed to have thought of something. Lifting her head, she was full of hopes when she looked at Chi Enen. “Right, Chi Jianguo! Enen, you can still look for Chi Jianguo! Your dad is so rich. As long as you find him, he will definitely give you sixty thousand yuan!”
“I’m not going!” Chi Enen rejected without even thinking.
She did not have any relationship with the Chi family since a long time ago. How could she possibly go back?
Furthermore, he was not only her father. He was Chi Ya and Chi Baojin’s father. He was also Gu Qiaomei’s husband. Who was she, Chi Enen? She was just an illegitimate daughter born by a mistress that he could do or do without.
It was already at Gu Qiaomei’s tolerance limit to endure her for 18 years in the Chi family. How could Gu Qiaomei possibly endure her asking Chi Jianguo for money?
She did not wish to go back either.
“Enen, are you really that heartless?”
“You’re so heartless… I am your only biological aunt who is related to you by blood. If something happens to me, you won’t have any kin anymore. Who in the Chi family cares about you? I’m the only one who cares about you. Enen, even if it’s just for the sake of your mother you have to help me. I beg you.”
Chi Enen allowed her to wail but she did not relent.
She was neither an adorable idiot nor Virgin Mary.
She could not even look after herself now, let alone help Lin Meiqi. Furthermore, over these years, she had already figured out that Lin Meiqi was only taking her for a cash cow. She would not give her any money even if she had sixty thousand yuan, much less that she was penniless now. Who could predict that she would not come asking for another sixty thousand yuan a few days later?
Wretched girl! There was a flash of fury and hate in Lin Meiqi’s eyes. At the sight that Chi Enen wouldn’t yield to either the carrot or the stick, she could only take out her trump card.
She released her grip and climbed up slowly from the ground. Wiping away her tears, she said, “Enen, if you refuse to help me, I can only use the money for your maternal grandpa’s medicine to tide over the emergency.”
“You.. what?” Chi Enen glared at her furiously. She did not expect her to be that shameless.
Lin Meiqi wiped away her tears hypocritically and said, “I don’t have a choice either. Enen, you should be aware. Your maternal grandpa only has two daughters, your mom and me. Your mom has already passed away from a difficult birth when you were born. If I am also killed by those loan sharks, your maternal grandpa is already so old… what’s going to happen to him? For your maternal grandpa’s sake, I can only use the money for his medicine first.”
Chi Enen clearly knew that she was doing this on purpose!
She clearly knew that she was threatening her!
She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists and stared at her auntie. In the end, she relented, “I’ll look for my dad.”
Before Lin Meiqi could rejoice, she added immediately, “But this is the last time.”
Lin Meiqi did not take these words to heart. She was full of smiles and said perfunctorily, “I know. Enen, don’t worry. This is a one-off event.”
Looking at her auntie’s beaming face, Chi Enen furrowed her brows and reminded her, “I must warn you beforehand. I’m not sure if my dad will lend me six hundred thousand yuan.”
Before she could finish her words, Lin Meiqi had already interrupted her loudly. “He will definitely do so! You’re his biological child. He can’t possibly ignore you if you plead with him.”
