"I was the one who found her, but you were the one who suggested selling the house first."
"But I don't have school fees or living expenses. If you were willing to help me, why would I think of selling the house?" Tang Yaxin's heart bled at the thought of being forced to give her house to Jiujiu.
Because of the resentment in her heart, Tang Yaxin's tone couldn't help but be angry.
"I'm not even your biological mother, why should I help you? Moreover, you can work or get a loan if you don't have school fees. There are so many ways to help you, but you chose to sell the house. Is this my fault? "
Tang Yaxin was rendered speechless by Jiujiu. Jiujiu was right, she could work and get a loan, but getting a loan was too embarrassing. Working was even more embarrassing. As a university student, she had to work as a waitress. Where was she supposed to hide her face?
Tang Yaxin pursed her lips and didn't say anything. After a long while, she retorted softly, "Sister, you have so many donations and scholarships. If you gave me half of it, I wouldn't sell the house."
Tang Yaxin didn't mention that she wanted to sell the house because of her vanity. Instead, she pushed all the blame onto Jiujiu. It was as if she was blaming Jiujiu for her suggestion.
Jiujiu was amused by Tang Yaxin's logic. She pursed her lips into a mocking smile and looked at Tang Yaxin. "You said it yourself, it's my donations and scholarships. Why should I give them to you? Who do you think you are?
We're biological sisters. Shouldn't sisters help each other grow and improve together? " Tang Yaxin raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. She said sadly, "Mom and Dad are gone. We're the closest people left in this world. Sister, you and I are biological sisters from the same mother. We should help each other and support each other. Why are you so heartless to me?"
"Heartless?"
Jiujiu softly repeated the word 'heartless'. The word lingered at the tip of her tongue but when she spat it out, it was filled with sarcasm. Jiujiu looked at Tang Yaxin mockingly and said softly, "Am I heartless or are you heartless?"
Jiujiu's question made Tang Yaxin uncomfortable for a moment. But after thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and pretended to be calm. "Of course it's because of you. If you had helped me back then, I wouldn't have sold the house."
"If you hadn't thrown my admission ticket away, I wouldn't have refused to help you," Jiujiu said sarcastically. "If we're talking about heartless, I can't compare to you, Tang Yaxin. You almost ruined my life the moment you made your move. "
Tang Yaxin was rendered speechless by Jiujiu's words. She stared at Jiujiu for a long time, not daring to admit it.
She was still the same person, but why did she have such a sharp tongue?
In the past, Tang Yalan was exceptionally quiet. No matter what she asked her to do, she wouldn't object and would only do things for her silently. Why did she become like this now?
Thinking about how Jiujiu had changed after her parents passed away, Tang Yaxin instantly understood.
It turned out that she had been pretending all this while. After her parents passed away, she revealed her true colors. Thinking about all the suffering she had gone through after her parents' death, Tang Yaxin was overcome with grief and started sobbing softly. This time, her grief was real. Tang Yaxin cried even harder and her tears flowed down uncontrollably.
After explaining things to Tang Yaxin, Jiujiu couldn't be bothered with her anymore. She turned around and went back to her room to prepare dinner.
Tang Yaxin cried on the spot for a while. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she felt bored and left on her own.
At night, Mu Shao habitually went to Jiujiu's room to have dinner with Jiujiu. The two of them sat on the balcony and talked softly.
Although he knew he shouldn't ask, Mu Shao still couldn't help but ask. "Jiujiu, what happened between you and your sister?"
Jiujiu raised her head and glanced at Mu Shao.
Mu Shao's eyes were filled with worry. He was truly worried about Jiujiu and not because Jiujiu had gone overboard. After confirming that Mu Shao was just concerned about her and didn't despise her, the corners of Jiujiu's lips instantly curled up. She gently leaned her head against Mu Shao's chest and said softly, "My sister has been at odds with me since we were young. In the past, when my parents were still around, she would often snatch my things. After my parents passed away, I asked for a small portion of the compensation in order to continue my studies, but she wasn't happy. Although she gave it to me in the end, she was still unhappy."
Jiujiu said in a calm tone, "After that, she spent all her money and wanted to snatch my money. I rejected her, but who knew that she would hold a grudge and throw away my admission ticket the day before the college entrance exam."
Jiujiu's eyes couldn't help but darken when she said this. Her long eyelids fluttered like butterfly wings, and her eyes were filled with sorrow.
Mu Shao originally thought that Jiujiu and Tang Yaxin's relationship was just a small problem, but when he heard Jiujiu's words, his heart inexplicably ached for her.
Because Jiujiu lived in such a good apartment, he thought that Jiujiu's family background was also good. But now, it seemed that Jiujiu didn't have it easy.
Mu Shao's heart ached as he pulled Jiujiu into his arms. He said softly, "It's okay, I'll be here in the future."
Jiujiu leaned into Mu Shao's arms and listened to his heartbeat. She continued, "If my form teacher wasn't nearby, I wouldn't have been able to take the college entrance exam. After that, my incident was reported and many people donated money to me. Moreover, the city's schools and the province's schools all gave me scholarships. She transferred the money to me and wanted me to give her half of the money. Naturally, I wasn't willing. The last time I gave her half of the compensation, she squandered it away within a few days. She treated the money that my parents exchanged for with their lives like this, let alone the money that others donated. Who knew that when she saw that I wasn't willing, she would threaten me to sell the apartment."
Jiujiu sighed softly and said sadly, "My parents worked hard for half their lives to buy that apartment. I didn't expect that she would be willing to sell the apartment for money. If she could treat my parents like this, she wouldn't be able to do the same to me. I promised her …"
Jiujiu didn't say the rest of the story, but Mu Shao could guess.
The money from selling the apartment was given to Tang Yaxin, but Tang Yaxin wasn't satisfied. Instead, she kept coming to look for Jiujiu again and again.
Although Tang Yaxin looked young and fresh last night, her clothes were expensive. Including the branded backpack, her clothes were worth at least forty to fifty thousand yuan. She was able to squander the money that her parents worked hard for half their lives. It was obvious how vain she was.
At this moment, in Mu Shao's heart, Tang Yaxin had changed from being Jiujiu's younger sister to a vain and irrelevant person.
Mu Shao sighed softly and raised his hand to pat Jiujiu's back. He was using his actions to comfort Jiujiu.
