Chapter 73
Chapter 73 – Losing Face (丢死人了)
Ye Qing was crying desolately. She looked as if she was not the one in the wrong but was the one being wronged.
“My classmates definitely know that our family is bankrupt. If I were to return and apologize, I won’t be able to take it even if they wouldn’t do anything! In the future, when I walk through the school halls, they would definitely point fingers at me. I would be worse than those people from poor families! Mom! I don’t want to lose face! Just give me some money, at most I’d go far away and never come back. If you miss me, then transferring me to another school would also work. With such a large debt, when will we be able to finish paying them back? Let’s just leave, as long as we leave, we won’t need to pay it back…” Ye Qing cried.
Once she thought about how her birthday party had been ruined, she felt as if the heavens had collapsed. With Yang Tiantian in this state, how would the other students look at her?
As Aunty Ye looked at her own daughter tearfully, there was a feeling of unfamiliarity.
What was her daughter like in the past? The one who was always gentle and sensible like a princess at home, when did she turn into a demon…
Demon? Aunty Ye was alarmed, she herself did not know why she would think of her own daughter like this.
Aunty Ye’s expression slowly turned cold, “How could you say such things! How did I teach you when you were young? If you make a mistake, you need to own up to it! So what if we’re in a huge debt? Mom has never begged you to go out and earn money to pay the debt back. Everything will be okay as long as you continue your studies, get into a good university in the future and live a happy life. The debt has nothing to do with you!”
“How does it have nothing to do with me?” Ye Qing bellowed. “In the past, everyone gave me looks of envy. Now? They pity me! I hate that kind of pity! It’s embarrassing!”
Aunty Ye’s body trembled, suddenly drained of energy.
For what was she working so hard for? Her husband was unreliable, after he received the bad news, he simply broke everything. Even her daughter had become like this? Then what was the point of working so hard?
Her body was on the verge of collapse, yet Ye Qing remained impertinent and grabbed onto her mother’s clothes, “Mom, just tell me. Where is our family’s money being hidden! Just where did you hide it!
They were so rich in the past, it was impossible that they didn’t have any money left. It was definitely hidden away somewhere and was afraid that others would know!
Aunty Ye only felt dizzy and her vision narrowed. Her daughter’s expression made her horrified.
The moment she collapsed, Jing Yunzhao was able to conveniently reach out and support her up.
“Jing Yunzhao! Why are you here! Who told you to come!” Once Ye Qing saw her, not only did she not notice her mother’s condition, she even became more fervent.
Jing Yunzhao finally understood why someone as strong as Aunty Ye would be forced to commit suicide in her past life. Ye Qing pretended to be gentle and sensible from day to day, but in reality she had inherited her father’s despicable nature and couldn’t accept any setbacks. Especially due to the many years of pampering, she had become even more selfish and self-serving!
“Whether you want to run away from home or not has got nothing to do with me, but you can’t treat Aunty Ye like this,” Jing Yunzhao coldly replied.
“Who do you think you are…”
“Nothing much, just that she still owes me a bit of money. Being a debtor, I need to make sure she doesn’t get injured because of someone else’s oppression and become unable to repay her debt. Is there a problem?” After all, the problem lied between the mother and daughter. It would not do any good if she were to interfere, so she easily found an excuse.
On the topic of debt, in reality, Aunty Ye only owed her around ¥1,000.
She didn’t need that sum of money urgently.
However the moment Ye Qing heard this, her face turned pale. Due to the fact that her family was already in such a huge debt, she never thought about why Jing Yunzhao would be one of the debtors.
