Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart - Chapter 40: Did You Manage To Get 600,000 Yuan?

“Of course!” The helper was being very enthusiastic. “Apart from minced meat, does Sister Chi need anything else? I can buy them for you in one go.”

“No, no need, Minced meat will be enough.” Chi Enen had no idea why the helper was so excited.

“I’ll go right away.” With that, the helper sped off to the meat section.

Chi Enen did not think too much about it. She turned to walk in the direction of the vegetables section. She picked out two fresh tomatoes and a small part of winter melon. She was about to go to the cashier.

Her cell phone rang at that moment.

Chi Enen put the basket at one side and took out her cell phone. Gone was her relaxed demeanor as soon as she saw the incoming phone number.

“Hello.”

“Enen.” Lin Meiqi’s voice could be heard from the other end of the phone. She could not wait to ask, “Did you manage to get 600,000 yuan?”

“No, I…”

She had yet to finish her sentence and Lin Meiqi spoke in a higher pitched voice. “What? Did Chi Jianguo refuse to give you the money? That scumbag is so wealthy but he refused to give you 600,000 yuan. My elder sister must have been blind back then to be fooled by such a player.”

She kept saying that he was a scumbag and a player. She did not take into consideration that the scumbag that she was referring to was in fact her niece’s father.

Without waiting for Chi Enen to reply, she used an accusatory tone on her. “Enen, did you not have a good chat with your father?”

“Auntie, my father is not obligated to give me such a huge sum of money.” Chi Enen felt weary.

“How can you say that? Since you are his child, he has to take care of you! Who else should he give his money to if not you? Don’t tell me that he is going to bring it to his grave?”

Chi Enen could no longer continue with the conversation. Her auntie was so harsh in her words. She yelled to stop her. “Auntie!”

“Why do you yell at me? I am saying the truth. Both of you are his daughters. But look at Chi Ya, she is decked out in gold and silver and she has a chauffeur to drive her around. But look at you, you went abroad looking dejected. Besides providing for your living expenses, he doesn’t care about you at all. The money that he gave you was not enough for you in the country, let alone to survive overseas! He is simply giving some money to dismiss you like how he would do to a beggar!”

Chi Enen felt like shouting out loud that Chi Ya was the perfectly justified daughter of the Chi family, while she was not. She was different from her since birth. But she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, feeling gloomy.

Lin Meiqi who was on the other end of the phone was still complaining non-stop.

Chi Enen took a deep breath, clenched her fist and interrupted her. “Auntie, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s that I can’t help you. You should look for other solutions.”

Lin Meiqi cried and wallowed as soon as she heard that Chi Enen was not going to help her. “Enen, you can’t leave me like this. If you do so, I really can’t live anymore.”

“But I don’t have any money!”

“If you can’t help me, I can only use the money that was meant for your maternal grandpa to buy his medicine.”

Chi Enen’s temples were throbbing. She gritted her teeth. “I still have 100,000 yuan in my card. I will give them all to you. Don’t use the money that is meant for grandpa to buy his medicine.”

100,000 yuan? Lin Meiqi knew that there was no other way that she could get more money from Chi Enen. She pursed her lips and was reluctant to accept them. “Alright, send them to me. I will use them to tide things over for the time being. But, Enen, you have to think of other solutions to help me.”

“I understand.” Chi Enen could not bear to talk to her for another second. She ended the call right away.

After hanging up the phone, Chi Enen stood at the same spot, searching for Lin Meiqi’s bank account number, before she transferred all her savings in the past two years to her! After receiving the notifying message from the bank, she pursed her lips, threw her cell phone into her bag, and took the vegetables that she had picked, moving toward the counter to pay.
