Chapter 124 - 121 You Don’t Know How Much I Want to Hold You
At this time, the school gate was bustling with people coming and going, and Zhang Meihua deliberately raised her voice, attracting quite a crowd.
Zhang Meihua had planned this. No matter how capable Li Si was, in front of an audience, surely she wouldn’t refuse to save face.
But times had changed. Li Si let out a cold laugh and retorted sarcastically, "Oh? Do you really not know why I’m distant from you? Take a look at North City—what kind of elder shamelessly sells their junior’s bone marrow? And the money for buying those dates? It came from what I earned for donating my bone marrow, didn’t it? I can’t stomach it! A word of advice: you’d better not target me again, or I’ll hit where it hurts the most!"
Seeing the contempt in the eyes of those watching, Zhang Meihua quickly responded, "Li Si, there must be some misunderstanding between us. When did I ever target you? I came here today because I care about you. After all, donating bone marrow does take a toll on the body, doesn’t it? Otherwise, we wouldn’t have splurged on such expensive dates!"
"Those thirty grand—since you had the audacity to accept them—now you’re telling me you can’t afford some dried dates? Are you joking? From now on, we’re cutting ties completely. Let’s act like we don’t even know each other!" Li Si said flatly. Zhang Meihua was obviously here with an ulterior motive, no doubt money-related.
Zhang Meihua curled her lips, "Li Si, Auntie has to tell you, you’ve got it all wrong! Those thirty grand didn’t all end up in my family’s pockets. Your grandma and your aunt’s family each got ten grand. My family only kept ten grand, and your uncle wants to start a big logistics company—honestly, that amount is barely enough to do anything!"
Bai Shasha couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped in, "After listening for so long, I finally get it. It’s truly unheard of—you people are utterly heartless! And ten grand isn’t enough for you? Why didn’t you let your daughter, Li Fei, donate instead?"
The surrounding classmates chimed in, "Exactly! Who does that? Selling a junior’s bone marrow and then coming here all righteous and demanding more. What nerve!"
