"Sister, how did you end up here?"
How many times has she been told not to call her sister, aren't they familiar with each other at all? Why can't this heroine have a good memory?
"Xiao Lian, stop yelling, she's not your sister, she's just a thief who stole your identity!" Xian Mu blocked Su Lian, looking at Xian Yu with disdain.
"Mom, don't say that..."
Although Su Lian herself thought that Xian Yu had stolen her identity, with her kind personality, she of course wanted to persuade Xian's mother.
"You're the thief, your whole family are thieves!" Qian Xuanxuan heard this noblewoman scolding Xian Yu as a thief and angrily retorted.
"Madam, please mind your words!" Professor Qian also stood up to rebuke Xiaoyu's mother. Although he didn't understand what had happened between them, it didn't stop him from defending Xiaoyu, for he believed in her character.
"Who is this uncle...? Sister, have you run out of money? This uncle even has a grandson, how can you be with him? Why don't you come home and find us?" Su Lian pretended to be anxious and pulled Xian Yu forward, trying to pull her away from Professor Qian's side.
As soon as these words with ulterior motives came out, the surroundings suddenly became noisy, and everyone's eyes looked at Xian Yu and Qian Professor with disdain.
Xian Yuqi's face turned green with rage, and she was about to retort when Zhou Mei suddenly grabbed her arm and said bluntly: "This young lady's upbringing is truly admirable, spewing filthy water from her mouth, with a mind full of vile thoughts, it's really nauseating!"
Xianyu took the opportunity to shake off Su Lian, who was caught off guard and stumbled. "How many times have I told you not to call me 'sister' randomly? Can't Miss Su understand human language?"
Xian's mother quickly supported Su Lian with a look of concern, asking if she was okay. This picture of maternal love and filial piety made Xian feel that being the original owner wasn't worth it. The maternal love she had yearned for over a decade was poured onto Su Lian in an instant, making her realize that years of companionship couldn't compare to a single drop of blood relation. Xian's mother's love was truly cheap.
"Sister, you misunderstood me, I didn't mean it that way, I was just worried about you." Su Lian explained to Xian Yu again with a soft and weak tone, tears falling as she spoke, truly living up to her name, pitifully lovely.
"Are you worried that she's being kept by someone just because of your suspicions? You call yourself a modern university student, the future of our country, how can your thinking be so dirty?"
Su Lian's appearance really made Zhou Mei uncomfortable, and she immediately retorted, leaving her speechless.
They thought Su Lian was a noble and elegant white lotus, but her mother didn't think so. Seeing her daughter being bullied to tears, she only felt heartbroken.
"Ungrateful! We've raised you for over a decade, given you the best food and drink, never letting you suffer in the slightest. Now Xiaolian just shows some concern for you, and this is how you repay her? You're truly an ungrateful wolf!"
"It seems like you haven't said enough, she pointed at Professor Qian and continued: "You're still saying that Xiaoleng splashed dirty water on you, your heart is so dark, do you need to use people to splash dirty water? If you weren't being kept by someone, then tell me, what's a young girl like you doing following an old man who's even older than your father to the airport? Other people's grandsons are already grown up, don't you feel ashamed?"
This farce was already very melodramatic, and with the mother's words, it was like adding fuel to the fire. As more and more people gathered around, Xian Yu really couldn't bear it anymore, there was no need to endure any longer.
"Mrs. Zhang, I think you're mistaken about one thing. The reason I was raised by you and your husband is because of your kindness! If it weren't for your husband's infidelity and his failure to handle his personal affairs properly, how would I have ended up being swapped with his mistress?! Please don't talk as if I owe you a debt, without you, I would still be raised by my own parents, not ending up an orphan like this!"
The mother's upbringing over the past decade or so was, in her opinion, entirely a matter of course. If it weren't for the messy affairs of their household, the original mistress would not have been switched out and she would have grown up happily under the care of her own biological parents, rather than being ignored day after day for ten years and growing into a timid and self-abasing young woman.
"Fine! Raising you to adulthood is what we should do, but what about the prosperous material life we provided for you over these past decade or so? Who knows what conditions your biological parents were in? If they were wealthy, why would they have abandoned their own child and not come looking for them?" In the end, it was either owing to the idle household or thanks to them that she wasn't sold off by her own biological parents due to poverty.
Anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem. Since the idle mother mentioned the material life of these past ten or so years, this issue is easy to resolve. Although the idle household hasn't reduced the original master's food, clothing, housing, and daily necessities, due to being neglected by the idle parents for a long time, she rarely takes the initiative to spend money on anything. It has always been the family servants who add new things seasonally, so the original master shouldn't have spent too much of the idle household's money over these past ten or so years and should still be able to afford it.
"When it comes to money, that's easy. Just name a figure and I'll pay back all the expenses of my 18 years in the Idle House today. It's better to spend money to solve this trouble now than to owe favors later. The hardest debt to repay is indeed the debt of gratitude."
"You're quite bold, since you want to pay back, I won't be polite either. Three million, can you take it out?" She wanted to see what kind of spare change equivalent to being penniless could repay this three million.
Su Lian had just been advising her mother, but now she didn't make a sound. Xian Yu repeatedly made things difficult for her, letting her mother teach her a lesson was good too.
The host was the card number of the idle mother, so the idle directly transferred the money to the idle mother. Looking at the balance from over 4 million to over 1 million, she didn't feel any heartache, but instead felt a sense of relief and freedom from debt.
The mother's face turned ugly as soon as she received the transfer, she thought that her son couldn't afford to pay this bill, but he slapped her in the face instead.
At this time, Zhao Tian and Liu Jia also rushed to the breakfast shop. The two of them squeezed in with difficulty, not knowing what was going on, and just saw Zhou Mei's face changing from pale to dark. The two quietly walked to Zhou Mei's side and asked her what had happened.
"How come you two just got here now?"
"This isn't a traffic jam, is it? Quickly tell us what's going on."
Zhou Mei briefly told them what had happened, and as soon as she finished speaking, she heard Su Lian say to Xian Yu, "Sister, you said you weren't being kept by someone, so where did all this money come from? I know you're used to your previous wealthy lifestyle and can't accept days without money for the time being, but this uncle is too old. You should admit your mistake to Mom and leave him."
Hearing her implicit words, Zhao Tian's violent temper couldn't be suppressed, and his anger suddenly flared up.
"Miss Su, I think it's necessary for me to introduce you to this uncle who is too old according to your words." Zhao Tian walked over to Professor Qian and pointed at him: "This is Professor Qian He, who was specially hired by our school two years ago and is also our supervisor. Are you implying that our supervisor has an improper relationship with us?"
Su Lian was stunned, she never thought that this old man would actually be a specially appointed professor at the school!
