Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Mom, if you invest in Eldest Uncle this time, there’ll definitely be more people coming to send us gifts after he gets promoted. When that time comes, Eldest Uncle won’t mistreat you and Dad for sure.”

Ha!

What a flowery speech.

“Sister, you must be mistaken about it. Your dad still hasn’t returned the money that he borrowed from my parents. How dare you come here to sponge us off now?”

Yun Xi’s words were very explicit. She did not save Yun Lian’s dignity at all.

“Sister, I promise that we won’t act like the last time. Dad and Mom will definitely get some benefits.”

“Alright, alright. Drop it. They’re my parents, not yours. Your parents are in another room.”

Yun Yang was disgusted by Yun Lian’s hypocrisy. He quickly worked with his sister to ridicule the hypocrite.

“No, Yun Yang. How can you think of me this way...”

“Yun Lian, you said you would promise that. How can you promise that? You’re an adopted daughter who was chased out of the house in the middle of the night. What’s more, the palm print on your face is still visible. Do you even have a chance to speak there?”

Before Yun Lian and Yun Yang could finish their explanation, Yun Xi quickly replied, which came as a blow to Yun Lian.

Yun Lian was extremely embarrassed and furious. Her face immediately turned red like a beetroot.

“Do you think everyone is stupid? Your father must’ve suffered a setback at work, and he’s trying to get to the top using his old methods. Your family doesn’t have enough money, so you came to us, trying to sponge us off.”

Yun Xi spoke bluntly to Yun Lian. She directly hit a nerve in Yun Lian and added injury to insult.

Yun Lian’s eyes were filled with tears from the humiliation. She really wanted to find a place to hide. Ever since she was young, she had never been humiliated like this by her elder sister, whom she had always looked down on.

She would usually have rushed out of the room and never stayed there for another second.

However, she recalled Liu Fang’s vicious face before she left. She thought of the helplessness of being chased into the courtyard as well as the faint tingling pain on her face…

Before she got the money, she definitely could not leave the room just like that.

Yun Lian racked her brain to think of a way to deal with the situation.

Plop!

Helpless, Yun Lian directly knelt in front of Chen Li. The tears that had been rolling in her eyes also flowed on her face.

“Mom, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have lied to you.”

Yun Lian was clutching Chen Li’s trouser leg as she apologized to Chen Li with a sobbing tone.

“Aunt told me to say these things. I had no choice.”

At this time, Yun Lian could only push the blame onto others.

“She was the one who asked me to come here to ask for money. If I don’t get the money today, I might be beaten to death.”

Yun Lian was not ashamed of the palm print on her face at that time. She found the best angle and showed the palm print to Chen Li to gain pity. She was afraid that Chen Li would not be able to see her miserable state.

“Mom, you’re my only biological mother. Every time I called you Third Aunt in front of Eldest Aunt, I definitely didn’t mean it. If I didn’t do that, she would punch and kick me. My days in their family are really worse than animals’!”

While expressing her loyalty, Yun Lian faked pity. These words really touched a nerve in Chen Li, causing her maternal love to overflow.

“Dear...”

Chen Li had already begun to buy it. She gently stroked Yun Lian’s slapped cheek, and her eyes were filled with sympathy.

“Mom, just lend some money to Eldest Uncle, or else my life there will be worse than death.”

That was true.

Although Chen Li sympathized with Yun Lian, she hesitated to lend them money. Once bitten, twice shy. A few years ago, the couple had not paid back the money they borrowed from Chen Li. Chen Li’s family could hardly get by. If she gave the money to them again, her family would probably starve to death.

Seeing that Chen Li still had not made a move, Yun Lian decided to force her one last time.

“Mom, if it were Elder Sister who was taken away that year, would you have left her high and dry? Could you bear to let her kneel on the ground, unable to eat a full meal, and endure the beatings of her adoptive parents every day? Boo-hoo...”

After saying this, Yun Lian acted like she was weeping bitterly in front of Chen Li.
