Chapter 32: I'm Afraid Not
"I'm afraid not, Aunt." Yuan Xiao's eyes were smiling, but her tone was a little cold.
Shen Ling obviously did not expect Yuan Xiao to say this and was a little unhappy. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Yuan Xiao continue, "This bear was given to me by a friend who was terminally ill when I was young. Before she passed away, she gave me her favorite bear. When I see this bear, I think of my deceased friend, and feel as if she's still by my side."
"Ah! I don't want it anymore! How awful!" When Jun Jun heard Yuan Xiao's words, she threw the little bear to the side in fear. Shen Ling rubbed Jun Jun's little hands as if she was afraid of him being stained with bad luck.
"You should keep such a meaningful thing for yourself." Shen Ling looked at Yuan Xiao with obvious hostility. It seemed that this girl was not as easy to deal with as Shen Hai and his wife. freeweb(n)ovel
Everyone had their own thoughts during the meal. Yuan Xiao noticed that the boy called Jun Jun kept glaring at her. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with Yuan Xiao scaring him with stories.
Yuan Xiao hated this kind of impolite children. The way she dealt with such children was to be even more impolite than them. Yuan Xiao also glared back. Her gaze was much more terrifying than the seven- or eight-year-old Jun Jun. freewebnovel.co(m)
"Mom! That girl glared at me!" Jun Jun pulled Shen Ling, wanting his mother to avenge him.
"You'd better not stare at me. My eyesight isn't good, and I look a little fierce when I look at people." Yuan Xiao did not want to give Shen Ling a chance to speak at all.
Seeing that Shen Ling and her family were still not planning to leave after dinner, Yuan Xiao said to Feng Mei, "Mom, I have to wake up early tomorrow. Don't you and Dad also need to stock up? I'm going to sleep first. You should pack up quickly and rest early."
Yuan Xiao skipped Shen Ling's family and prepared to go straight to the bedroom.
Zhou Wei felt a little unnatural. He pulled Shen Ling and planned to leave.
"Wait, we haven't talked about the serious matter yet!" Shen Ling shook off Zhou Wei's hand and said to Shen Hai, who was watching television on the sofa, "Xiao Hai, you know that Fang Fang is in her third year of high school this year. That child is promising and good at her studies. She will definitely be able to get into a good university."
Looking at Shen Ling's fake smile, Shen Hai had a headache.
"We still have to support Jun Jun. Your brother-in-law only has that little fixed salary every month. We really can't make ends meet." Shen Ling still had a smile on her face as she watched Shen Hai wait for his reaction.
"Sister, it's not that I don't want to give it to you. I don't have much money!" Shen Hai was angry. He knew that Shen Ling was up to no good! Borrow money? In the past, when he was poor, it was difficult for him to talk to Shen Ling, let alone borrow money.
"Stop joking. Look at your big house." Shen Ling glanced at Yuan Xiao, who had yet to enter the room, and whispered to Shen Hai, "The girl's foster family is so rich. Didn't you ask for more? Do you have her home address? I can help you ask for it!"
Yuan Xiao's eyelids twitched. She had never seen such a shameless person in her life.
"Sister, the Yuan Family doesn't owe me anything. I'm already very grateful that they can give me a house." Shen Hai was also a little agitated. He did not want to make things unpleasant with his biological sister.
"Why not? You raised Shen Wei for 16 years and suddenly her surname was changed! That child is so good at studying. She will definitely earn a lot of money when she grows up. You helped them raise their child for nothing!" Shen Ling was agitated, and her already flabby face became even more ferocious.
"Sister, you can't say that. They also nurtured Xiao Xiao well!" Shen Hai looked at Shen Ling and felt very upset.
"How can that be the same? Shen Wei is so obedient." Shen Ling glanced at Yuan Xiao. This girl was obviously not as down-to-earth as Shen Wei. She looked much smarter than Shen Wei.
"Auntie, I can give you the address of the Yuan Family!" Yuan Xiao smiled and took out a pen and paper. As she wrote, she said, "Try to find it. If it really doesn't work, you can look for Shen Wei. No, it's Yuan Wei now."
Shen Ling took the note from Yuan Xiao's hand. There was unconcealable joy in her eyes. Shen Hai wanted to stop her, but he saw Yuan Xiao wink.
"Alright, I have to help you guys demand something!" Shen Ling carefully put away the note and stood up to call for Jun Jun.
Before she left, she turned around and said to Shen Hai, "How about this? I don't want much. Give me a few tens of thousands of yuan first. I have to pay Fang Fang's tuition fees first. When I get the money from the Yuan family, I'll return it to you."
Yuan Xiao looked at the woman's scheming expression and could not help but feel annoyed. Yuan Xiao did not understand how her honest and simple father could have such a biological sister.
