Chapter 53 Lie in good faith

“Zimiao, you shut up. Xi’er, don’t reason with her.” As long as Meng Xinyan thought of what had happened today, she couldn’t sleep!

“It’s alright, Mom. Go to sleep!” This time, she didn’t dare turn over again, she just lay flat. No Yizhi, equaled no sleeping pill.

In this way, she counted alpacas* in her heart all night…

The consequences of counting alpacas: having panda eyes the next day.

After paying off the 250,000 yuan, the lender claimed to have deleted the photos and videos, but Ling Xi wasn’t at ease.

“Xi’er, it was thanks to you this time, otherwise, I’m really afraid that Zimiao wouldn’t have been able to think about something. You can rest assured that I will pay the money back.”

“Mom, I’m your daughter too. If you pay me back, then I’ll go back to the way I used to be.” She pretended to be angry.

Meng Xinyan thought she was really angry, and an anxious look floated on her face. “Xi’er, don’t be angry. Mom won’t mention it again in the future, won’t mention it again!”

Ling Xi’s face had just lighted up with a smile, when she saw Meng Zimiao keeping her head down, as if there was gold on the ground. “Zimiao, you don’t have to worry about tuition. Mom only received the MMS.”

Meng Zimei raised her head, with her face flushed, her voice as low as a mosquito’s song. “Thank you.”

The corners of Ling Xi’s mouth raised in a vaguely sly manner. “Mom, Zimiao said she was hungry, let’s go have dinner!”

“Alright, let’s go have dinner.” Meng Xinyan secretly decided to be better to Ling Xi in the future.

Meng Zimei puffed her cheeks angrily. “Ling Xi, I clearly said ‘thank you’.”

Ling Xi gently lifted up a brow, slowly approaching, “Oh, who do you want to thank?”

Meng Zimiao turned her face. “Heng, even if you helped me, you won’t be able to make me call you ‘Sis’.”

“Xi’er, this sister of yours just doesn’t stop talking, don’t pay any attention to her!” Then she looked at the time on her cell phone, “Oh, is this the time? Xi’er, Mom has to go to work quickly, you go back home and get some sleep! Look at the circles under your eyes. I’m sure you didn’t sleep well last night.”

“Go to work? What work?”

A trace of panic fleeted across Meng Xinyan’s face. She reminisced how she’d deliberately hidden the sanitation equipments yesterday in order to prevent her from knowing the work she did. She could lie unscrupulously in front of others without blushing or her heart jumping, but in front of her, especially looking into those eyes, there was a sense of guilt. Her eyes dodged a little to the side. “Just working for others.” Saying this wasn’t wrong, right!

Meng Zimiao didn’t dare expose her lies. She understood her mother’s heart, she was afraid that Ling Xi would feel more guilty.

Looking at her giving 250,000 yuan… Let’s not talk about it.

“Mom, where do you work? Should I go with you?”

“No, I have a decent job. I haven’t been paid yet because I just started looking for some. Go home and go to bed!”

Ling Xi didn’t see her look, nor did she think too much. She took out a card from her wallet. “That… Well, Mom, there’s about 10 million in this card. I’ve written the password on the back, you take it first. In the last two days, I went to see a house with Zimiao and bought it because it suits you.”

Meng Zimiao’s mouth opened slightly, the corners of her lips twitching gently. 10 million?

Now she finally believed Meng Zidi’s words. Either she took the wrong medicine, or was being evil. Otherwise… How could she be so generous as to casually buy them a house priced at 10 million?
