Su Man quickly changed her attitude and said, "Hello, Sister."
Su Yu completely ignored Su Man as she walked past her younger sister without a single look. The former couldn't be bothered to return a perfunctory response.
Su Man rolled her eyes at Su Yu. However, when she turned to face her parents, she looked down as if she had suffered a great grievance. She pursed her lips and looked like she had been bullied.
Wang Yali's face darkened. She was the grandmother and elder of the Su family. Wang Yali slammed her walking stick on the ground and snorted, "Manman is talking to you. Didn't you hear her?"
Su Man grabbed her grandma's arm and shook her head. "Grandma, don't blame Sister. She's in a bad mood right now. I'm fine."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yali felt that Su Yu was being even more insensible. Wang Yali had always thought that this adopted grandchild of hers was always full of shortcomings. She disdainfully said, "She's not the Su family's biological daughter after all. Even though she's been raised for more than ten years, she still can't change her inherent pettiness."
"Mom!" Su Weiguo called out imploringly. Then, he walked to Su Yu, took out a bank card, and said, "There's 20000 yuan here."
He sighed as he stuffed it into Su Yu's hands. "Take it. When you go back, be obedient to your biological parents. Keep this money to buy some clothes. You can also use it for school in the future."
Su Weiguo had always been a careful man. The Su family had recently accepted a government development project. Now that they were in such a critical period, he did not want to cause any more trouble. He had investigated Su Yu's biological parents in private and found out that her father's surname was Bai, he was a teacher from Qiufeng County.
Qiufeng County was 400 kilometers away from Feng City. The area was known for having high poverty rates and every year, Feng City's entrepreneurs would donate money to Qiufeng County. Su Weiguo was no exception. And now that he knew her biological father was a teacher there, there was no need to investigate it in further detail. The teachers from that county had always been known to be tough and news outlets never failed to highlight them at least once a year.
Su Yu was currently in her third year of high school. If she returned to Qiufeng County, she would not be able to get into university. It was even more impossible for her to go to Chongqing to study like Su Man. In other words, her life was over! Su Weiguo couldn't bear such a thought, which was what motivated him to stuff the bank card into Su Yu's hands. He looked at Su Yu's fair and tender face, and softly asked, "Did you take everything? Did you take the necklace I bought for your eleventh birthday? That's my gift to you, you can take it."
Wang Yali frowned at Su Yu but decided not to say anything over a necklace that cost a few thousand yuan.
Su Man stood aside and agreed with her father. "That's right, Sister. That's a gift from dad. You must wear it. Who knows? You might need it one day."
Although she did not say the rest of her sentence, the intention of her words was clear. Su Yu looked at Su Man with arrogance and the latter responded with a provocative smile, just like the rest of the Su family.
Su Yu stuffed the bank card back into Su Weiguo's hands and indifferently said, "The necklace is in the drawer in my room. You can go look for it. I only took the notebook that I bought. I didn't take anything from the Su family."
Her words embarrassed the Su family, especially Wang Yali and Su Man's mother, Fang Meijuan, who had been too lazy to talk. They were not looking happy, cursing Su Yu in their minds as an insensible girl who treated her elders disrespectfully.
Su Man glanced at Su Yu's backpack, rolled her eyes, and pretended to casually say, "Sister, you're overthinking things. Mom, Dad, and Grandma didn't mean anything bad.
"We've lived together for so many years. Even if you return to your biological parents, you'll still be my sister. Everyone hopes that you can live well."
Even if you don't take the necklace, you should still accept the bank card. Qiufeng County is different from Feng City. There will be many places where you will need money in the future."
Su Weiguo came back to his senses and stuffed the bank card back into Su Yu's hands again before saying, "That's right, you should just take this card."
"There's really no need for that. I still have some money." She didn't want the bank card and she didn't want to have any relationship with anyone in the Su family. At this moment, her phone rang so she placed her bank card on the table beside her and looked at her phone before calmly saying, "My family is here to pick me up, so I'll be leaving first."
