Chapter 254: Asking Her for Money
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This explained why she had shed her usual scornful att.i.tude toward her; she wanted her to find money for her daughter’s reconstructive surgery!
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ did not know what had caused Yun Na to end up with a mutilated face.
Didn’t she return home directly after leaving the gala yesterday?
But so what if she didn’t?
It may be heartless to say this, but even if she is disfigured, without help, or worse, dead, it has got nothing to do with me!
She had been labeled as ‘the little b*tch’ by the mother-daughter pair all this while, and then they would be chummy with her when she could be exploited. Did they really want to squeeze her dry before they eventually stopped?
She would not be stupid again.
“s.h.i.+s.h.i.+!”
Li Qin was about to blow her top at her detached att.i.tude, but she caught herself in time when she remembered that this woman was her daughter’s only hope. Hence, swallowing her pride, she acted nice and continued, “You can’t be heartless! Are you so mean to just watch on as your sister kill herself?”
“What do you mean?” she asked mockingly, “I didn’t do this to her. Are you pus.h.i.+ng the responsibility to me?”
“This is not what I mean. How can you twist my words around?!”
Her adoptive mother anxiously explained, “Besides, I didn’t ask for more! The surgery only needs 500,000 yuan. This is small money to you, right?!”
“500,000 yuan? Do I have to give you the money because it’s easy for you to ask?” She suppressed her boiling rage inside. “I don’t have that money!”
“You have the money!”
Li Qin’s pitch rose as she went on, “Why wouldn’t you have this money?! I saw you holding an Armani handbag a few days ago. That bag is worth a few millions, yet you are telling me you have no money now? Are you really that heartless not to save your sister?!”
“That was my…” She unhappily furrowed her brows when her adoptive mother mentioned the gown and wanted to clarify about it but eventually decided against it, thinking that she needed not explain herself to them, and just firmly maintained, “I don’t have that much money!”
“You… Are you really this heartless?! Think – Think about the kindness your father has shown you over the years! Your sister is in such a terrible plight now, can you please do something to save her?!”
She painfully exclaimed and then suddenly added, “You must have a sugar daddy out there for you to afford such expensive clothes, right?”
Her face was stricken with the gravity of these shameful words that dropped easily from Li Qin’s lips.
This ward housed more than one patient, and the family members of the other occupants were curiously staring at them.
The meaning in the woman’s words was clear: There was a sugar daddy supporting her because she could afford to wear Armani brand.
Her adoptive mother did not try to be discreet with her words despite the people in the room. Everyone, be it the patients or their family members, started to see her in a different light. At first, they had found her innocent and stunning looks admirable when she first stepped into the room, but now that they were one-sidedly influenced by what they had just heard about her, they intermittently pointed their fingers at her while shaking their heads. They did not expect that such a beautiful woman would turn out to be a kept woman.
Their look of admiration and wonder turned into one of contempt and disdain.
She forcefully clenched her lips in embarra.s.sment!
