“Of course!” the servant said eagerly, “Besides minced meat, what else does Miss Chi need? I can buy everything for you at once.”

“No, no need, just the minced meat will be enough.” Chi Enen didn’t understand what she was so excited about.

“I’ll go right now.” After saying that, she dashed off toward the meat section like the wind.

Chi Enen didn’t think too much about it and turned to walk toward the vegetable area. She picked out two fresh tomatoes, then chose a piece of wax gourd and was about to check out.

“Ding Ling Ling…” Suddenly, her mobile phone rang.

She put the vegetable basket down, took out her phone, and as soon as she saw the incoming number, the relaxed expression on her face vanished completely.

“Hello.”

“Enen,” Lin Meiqi’s voice came through the receiver, asking impatiently, “How did it go, did you get the 600,000?”

“I didn’t. I…”

Before she could finish, Lin Meiqi’s voice suddenly rose, “What? Has Chi Jianguo refused to give you the money? That scumbag is so rich and he won’t even give you 600,000. My sister was really blind back then. To be deceived by such a… thing.

With each word, she called him a scumbag and a thing, completely disregarding that the scumbag she spoke of was in fact her own niece’s father.

Before Chi Enen could speak, Lin Meiqi changed her tone, accusing, “Enen, did you not speak properly with your dad?”

“Aunt, my dad is not obliged to give me such a large sum of money.” Chi Enen felt somewhat exhausted.

“How can he have no obligation, he sired you so he should take care of you! Isn’t he making money to spend on you, on who else would he spend it? Or does he plan to take it with him into the coffin after he dies?”

Chi Enen couldn’t bear the viciousness of her words and scolded coldly, “Aunt!”

“Why are you yelling at me, I’m telling the truth. Both daughters of the family, look at Chi Ya, bedecked in gold jewelry every day, always chauffeured by luxury cars. And look at you, struggling overseas, besides a bit of living costs he sends, he hardly cares about you. Those living costs aren’t even enough to live on domestically, let alone overseas? He’s treating you like a beggar!”

Chi Enen really wanted to shout and tell her that Chi Ya is the legitimate daughter of the Chi family, that she and Chi Ya are different, born different. But the words, bitter, were swallowed back down her throat.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Meiqi continued to complain incessantly.

Chi Enen took a deep breath, clenched her fist, and interrupted, “Aunt, it’s not that 1 don’t want to help you, I can’t help you. You’ll have to think of another way.”

As soon as Lin Meiqi heard that she was being abandoned, she immediately started wailing, “Enen, you can’t just ignore me. If you do, 1 really can’t go on living.”

“But 1 don’t have any money!”

“If even you can’t do anything, I’ll have to use the money for Grandfather’s medication…”

Chi Enen’s temple throbbed violently and she gritted her teeth, “I still have 100,000 in my card, I’ll give it all to you, just don’t touch Grandfather’s medication money.”

100,000? Such a paltry sum… Lin Meiqi, realizing she couldn’t squeeze any more, pursed her lips reluctantly, “Fine, transfer it to me, it’ll tide me over for now. But Enen, you need to keep thinking of a way for me.”

“I understand.” Chi Enen couldn’t wait to be rid of her and promptly hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Chi Enen stood still for a while, dug out Lin Meiqi’s bank card number, and transferred all of her savings from these two years! Only after receiving the text message notification from the bank did she tighten the corners of her mouth and throw her phone back into her bag. She picked up the selected vegetables again and walked towards the cashier counter….
