"Just because we’re not short on money doesn’t mean we should let those thankless wolves off cheap!" Lin Xiaoxi complained discontentedly.
"It’s not about the money," Lin Xiaoguai said, raising her hand to smooth out her hair beside her ear, a faint smile on her lips. "I’m not lacking this bit of money, but if they feel like they don’t owe me anymore just because they’ve paid this amount, then that’s where the real loss would be."
Lin Xiaoguai had complicated feelings about her four brothers. Without the regrets from her past life, she couldn’t hate them anymore, but due to the many years of separation in her previous life, the brotherly and sisterly affections had also faded.
