Yun Shishi did not care what others think of her; what she minded was how caustic her adoptive mother was to her.

“I don’t have!”

Li Qin reprimanded, “You don’t have? Don’t try to hide the truth from me. The neighbors saw you driving off in a Bentley that day. Don’t tell me you bought that car with your money?!”

She was stunned and then realized that Gu Xingze had indeed picked her up in a Bentley on the day of the gala.

Their neighbors only saw her getting into the Bentley, which had made a grand entrance into their small community, that day; they did not know that the car was there to shuttle her to the gala and simply assumed that she was in an indecent relationship with a man out there in exchange for material benefits.

Very often, a person’s glamorous appearance was enough for people to form bias opinion about them, besmirching the person’s reputation out of jealousy and envy.

This matter reached the ears of her adoptive mother, and she did not doubt the rumors about her having a sugar daddy.

In reality, she did not have a sugar daddy, so how was she going to find 500,000 yuan?

Did she really have to cough up money just because this woman simply opened her mouth to ask? If she was unable to do so, would she be labeled as unfilial?

All of a sudden, she felt that it was tiring and redundant to explain further, so she decided not to say anymore.

When Li Qin realized that she was unmoved into agreeing despite her lengthy speech, she bitterly complained in a voice loud enough for the people in the room to hear, “Er, you haven’t spoken a word even though I already explained this much. What do you mean by that? Are you... a really heartless person whom god has sent as retribution?”

Yun Shishi stood still; her face looked extremely frosty.

Some bystanders could not tolerate it further and publicly reproached her, “I say, little missy, this is not proper! You should help your family in need. Besides, the one pleading to you is your mother, yet you remain unmoved and detached. You are so unfilial!”

“That’s right. It’s not a stranger lying in the bed now; it’s your sister! Are you really that heartless?” A few nearby patients rebuked her as well.

“Hmph. If I had such a daughter, I would abandon her the moment she’s born. Wouldn’t she be a disgrace to me when she grew up?”

Her shoulders shuddered momentarily.

Sister...

Yes, Yun Na was her sister whom she had loved and spoiled since young. She would save on her needs, so she could use the money to buy the clothes her sister liked.

She even bought her adoptive sister the latest Apple iPhone with her hard-earned money from working part-time. That cost a few thousand yuan.

Had she not been nice to her sister all these years?

What did her sister do to her in return, though?

Her adoptive mother was secretly happy to see others standing up for her though she maintained her pitiful and helpless look.

“Oh, my, do you know that she’s not even my biological daughter? She’s adopted by my husband and me, but she’s been fighting with me since young.”

“Adopted?!”

Everyone was stunned and angered further when they heard this!

“Ingrate! She’s adopted, huh. No wonder; a biological daughter won’t be this heartless, right?!”

“You are too much! Is this how you express your gratitude?! Will you have such a good life now if your mother didn’t adopt you? You have to remember that you owe them for your good life now!”

By now, she could empathize with the feeling of being wrongly accused without a chance for justification. Her heart was on Youyou, though. Feeling anxious, she turned to leave.

Li Qin saw her walking away and instantly lunged forward to grab her elbow.

She could not be bothered with her adoptive mother and pushed her away.

The woman conveniently fell on to the floor and showily cried out, “I’m hit! I was tugging lightly at your hand...”

“Why are you pretending?!” she demanded angrily, “Youyou is in a critical condition now. I don’t have the patience for your nonsense!”

With that, she turned to leave but was blocked by the other patients’ family members that were crowding the entrance.

“Where do you think you are going?!”

“Unfilial daughter, you are unconscionable! You actually hit your mother?!”

Her eyes shone dangerously. “Get lost! Don’t block my way!”
