Chapter 33: Chapter 33: The Origin of Chi Enen

Seeing that she was truly willing to leave her behind, Lin Meiqi no longer cared about her dignity and firmly grasped her hand, sobbing and sniveling as she said, “Enen, even if you don’t do it for the sake of your grandfather, for the sake of your mother who passed away too soon, you can’t ignore me. If you don’t help me and your uncle-in-law, we’ll truly have no way out.”

“Why is my life so hard? If my older sister were still alive, she would never abandon her only younger sister. Back in the day, we went to school together, together…”

Chi Enen had heard this too many times that her ears had grown calluses, listening numbly as Lin Meiqi wailed.

“If it weren’t for your mother running into that irresponsible man, Chi Jianguo, being deceived by him and getting pregnant with you, she might still be alive and well.” In the midst of her crying, Lin Meiqi suddenly thought of something, raising her head, looking at Chi Enen with hope, “Right, Chi Jianguo! Enen, you can still go find Chi Jianguo! Your father is so rich, just talk to him, and he will surely give you 600,000!”

“I won’t go!” Chi Enen refused without a second thought.

She had long since cut ties with the Chi family; how could she possibly go back to them?

Moreover, that man was not just her father, but also the father of Chi Ya and Chi Baojin, and the husband of Gu Qiaomei. What was she, Chi Enen? Nothing but an unwanted illegitimate daughter born of a mistress.

The fact that Gu Qiaomei had tolerated her presence in the Chi family for 18 years was already her limit; how could she possibly endure her asking Chi Jianguo for money?

She didn’t want to ask for it either.

“Enen, are you really so heartless that you won’t help me?”

“How cruel you are,” Lin Meiqi cried, “I am your only blood-related aunt. If something happens to me, you won’t have any relatives left. Who in the Chi family would care about you? Only I, I’m the only one who cares about you. Enen, even for the sake of your sister, please help me. I’m begging you.”

Chi Enen let her cry and wail, without relenting.

She was neither naively kindhearted nor a saintly pushover.

She was struggling to survive herself and couldn’t possibly help Lin Meiqi. And over the years, she had clearly seen that Lin Meiqi saw her as nothing more than a cash cow. Even if she had 600,000, she wouldn’t give it to her. Who knew if in a few days Lin Meiqi would cry for help again, demanding another 600,000?

You naughty girl! A flicker of resentment crossed Lin Meiqi’s eyes as she saw that Chi Enen was unmoved by hard or soft tactics. She had to play her trump card.

She let go of her, slowly got up from the ground, wiped her tears, and said, “Enen, if you refuse to help me, I will have no choice but to use the money for your grandfather’s medication in an emergency.”

“What did you say?” Chi Enen couldn’t believe she would be so shameless, looking at her with furious eyes.

While pretending to wipe her tears, Lin Meiqi said, “I have no choice, Enen, as you know, your grandfather only had two daughters, me and your mother. Your mother already died giving birth to you, and if I were to die from the loan sharks, what would happen to him at his age? For your grandfather’s sake, I’ll have to borrow a bit of the money meant for his medication…”

Chi Enen knew she was doing it on purpose!

She knew it was a threat!

Yet, she still clenched her teeth, balled her fists, and gave in, “I’ll go find Dad.”

Lin Meiqi barely concealed her delight, but before she could revel in it, Chi Enen quickly added, “This is the last time.”

Whatever—Lin Meiqi didn’t take it to heart and, with a smile plastered on her face, responded half-heartedly, “I know. Enen, you can rest assured, this time was an accident.”

Seeing her smiling joyfully, Chi Enen furrowed her brows, reminding her, “I should tell you beforehand that I’m not sure if Dad will lend me the 600,000…”

Before she could finish, Lin Meiqi loudly interrupted her, “He will surely give it to you! You are his own flesh and blood, if you plead with him, it’s impossible for him to ignore you..”
