Chi Enen doubted her ears and instinctively shouted, “How much did you say it was?”
“S-six hundred thousand yuan.” Lin Meiqi felt guilty herself but at the thought that she was Chi Enen’s only auntie, she felt more assured. “Enen, do you have money? Can you lend me a few hundred thousand yuan first to tide over the emergency?”
Enraged, Chi Enen pushed her hands away. “Didn’t I give you all five million yuan before I went overseas? It has only been five years. Don’t tell me you have spent all of it?”
Five years ago, her maternal grandfather suffered a sudden heart attack. He was lying in the ICU ward and needed three million yuan for a heart bypass surgery.
She was 18 years old back then and did not know where to turn to. She mingled with a yacht full of wealthy people and in a twist of fate, she slept with Li Beijue. Thereafter, she stayed by Li Beijue’s side. Initially, she had wanted to bring up the issue and borrow money from him after his mood improved. Unexpectedly, soon after, she found out that she was pregnant. Coincidentally, a woman who claimed to be Li Beijue’s mother came to look for her then. She gave her money and asked her to leave.
On one side, it was her maternal grandfather who was gravely ill in the ICU ward. On the other side, she had a baby who might become an illegitimate child. Hence, she gritted her teeth and left with the money.
Never did she expect that all of the life-saving money that she had gotten in exchange for her virginity had been squandered in just five years!
How could Chi Enen not feel furious?!
“Enen, you can’t put it this way.” Speaking of that five million yuan, Lin Meiqi had many grievances. She raised her neck and rattled, “Yes, you have given us five million yuan but that five million yuan was not for us to spend. It’s not that you are not aware. Your maternal grandpa’s heart surgery alone cost three million yuan, and the remaining two million yuan was used to pay for his hospitalization and medication fees. There isn’t much left afterwards. Do you think the medicine taken by your maternal grandpa these few years doesn’t cost any money? Do you know how expensive his medicine is? We spend about two to three thousand yuan each time we buy them. It’s not enough no matter how much money we have. If not for this reason, would your uncle and I have gone to do business? If we didn’t do any business, we wouldn’t have chalked up so many debts.”
“No matter how expensive maternal grandpa’s medication fees are you can’t possibly finish spending two million yuan!” Chi Enen was firm in her words. “You’re the ones who yearn for things that are beyond you. Don’t blame it on grandpa.”
Lin Meiqi’s neck stiffened and she swallowed the remaining words in her throat.
This wretched girl! Why did she become smarter after going abroad for a few years? Wasn’t she very ignorant in the past? They had requested her to leave behind the remaining two million yuan for her maternal grandfather’s medication and she had obediently handed the money to them.
Since tough ways did not work on her, in the turn of an eye, she changed her approach.
“Enen.” Lin Meiqi ignored the fact that Chi Enen was retreating. She pounced on her and grabbed Enen’s hand. Bam! She was kneeling on the floor. “Enen, are you really going to leave me like this? I am your only… your mom’s only sister. Your only aunt.”
“I don’t have money.” Chi Enen felt a little drained of energy.
She really did not have any money.
She could still try to think of a way if it was sixty thousand yuan but six hundred thousand yuan? Where was she going to find the money?
“How can you possibly have no money? Didn’t you fork out five million yuan at once the last time? Since you did that in the past, you can definitely do so now.” Lin Meiqi spoke bluntly. However, she seemingly did not even consider where that five million yuan came from and how tortuous the process of getting it was. She only knew the easy way out, that this niece of hers had ways to get money for her. “Enen, why don’t you look for that kind person who gave you five million yuan previously? Given your past relationship, he will definitely be willing to help you.”
Wasn’t she implying that she could climb into Li Beijue’s bed again?
Chi Enen was both angered and amused by her auntie’s shameless words. She flung off her hands. “I’m not that capable and we don’t have a relationship. Let go of your hands!”
