Gu Yanwei choked on her words and could not speak. She did not know what had caused Gu Ruochu's indifferent attitude.
Her heart was stifled.
Gu Yanwei thought about what had happened at the class reunion earlier in the day and smiled as she pushed the door open. "Ruochu, are you still angry with me?"
"Angry?" Gu Ruochu was sitting on the dressing table as she removed the jewelry she had worn. When she heard her words, she suddenly looked at her with half a smile. "When you say that I'm angry, which matter are you referring to?"
Gu Yanwei choked once again. She felt guilty and did not know how to respond.
Ever since she joined the Gu family, she had been loved more than Gu Ruochu despite being the adopted daughter. Gu Ruochu had always been a soft-hearted person. She would always give in to her and she would naturally enjoy it.
She really could not tell which matter her sister was referring to.
"Ruochu, you've changed." Gu Yanwei shook her head. A look of disappointment appeared on her face as she spoke with a sense of loss. "You weren't like this in the past. You wouldn't treat me as an outsider as you do now. I have a few words in my heart, but I don't know if I should say them."
"Then don't say them."
Gu Yanwei was speechless.
Gu Ruochu had left her dumbstruck several times in a row. She sat down and looked at the luxury brand necklace and jewelry that Gu Ruochu had just taken off. She had wanted to own them all. Her gaze suddenly changed.
Most women dreamed of having such luxury items. Unfortunately, she could never afford them even if she worked hard her entire life.
After some thought, Gu Yanwei finally spoke.
"Ruochu, mother recently told me that the neighborhood we live in isn't convenient and the environment is polluted. It's just that my finances have been a little tight recently. Otherwise, I would definitely have found a good place for our mother to recuperate. You know that she has always had asthma..."
How could Gu Ruochu fail to understand Gu Yanwei's hint? She did not answer her question which caused her to become anxious.
"Ruochu, do you still have any savings? Lend them to me first."
'So she's here to ask for money?'
Gu Ruochu's lips curled up as she glanced at her coldly. The original Gu Ruochu gave her sister over a hundred thousand yuan every month. She had been involved in the car accident before she could give her the money this month. Gu Yanwei was anxious because she was yet to receive any money.
On discovering her sister's intentions, Gu Ruochu thought about teasing Gu Yanwei.
Seeing the hesitation on Gu Ruochu's face, Gu Yanwei felt at ease. She had not changed much. A few words from her had shaken her resolve. She was just as foolish as before.
Gu Ruochu had always been a soft-hearted person. All she needed to do was to coax her.
"How much do you want to borrow?"
Gu Yanwei bit her lip. "130,000 yuan. Do you have it?"
"No." Gu Ruochu replied straightforwardly.
"Really?" A hint of suspicion appeared in Gu Yanwei's eyes. It was as if she was about to question her. "Ruochu, this is about our mother. You know that she has asthma. If we don't move to another place, her illness will only worsen. You're her daughter, how could you bear to watch her suffer?"
How could she not have the money? She was married to Huo Nanchen. The Huo family would never mistreat their daughter-in-law. Besides, she had always paid her the 130,000 yuan on time except for this month.
She had bought a few handbags this month. Her salary and Gu Ruochu's previous payment was completely used up.
'This won't do. I must make Gu Ruochu cough up the money.' Gu Yanwei's breathing suddenly became heavier, and she could no longer hold her breath.
