“Our family must have been too kind to her. We have sponsored an ambitious woman who schemed on us with her looks.”

Ying Yimei looked around the room. Everyone was looking on curiously. She thought she should fight for her happiness.

Just like what Grandma Li said, this was her only chance.

She should not miss this opportunity. She could not afford to lose this one chance.

She would regret it for the rest of her life if she did.

She had already laid her cards out so well. This was the chance of a lifetime.

“Mrs. Li, I will pay back what I owe your family.” Ying Yimei said with her head lowered.

On hearing that, Wu Tong sneered.

“All right, let’s do the calculations now. I will say it out loud so everyone can bear witness. Xingchen, can you take notes? How much does the Ying family owe the Li family?”

Li Xingchen walked toward Wu Tong. Her eyes were cold and she glared hard at Ying Yimei. “Firstly, the apartment that she is living in now is our family’s property. An apartment of the same size in the same estate In the same estate could easily fetch a rental of 15000 dollars a month. She stayed there for 4 years, so that will be 720000 dollars of rental. Secondly, her living expenses when she was studying abroad were also paid for by the Li family. She was abroad for 3 years, making it a total of 3 million dollars. The rest of the expenses were too many and I won’t list them all out. Take it that we are doing charity work and will not haggle with you over these small amounts. Ying Yimei owes us 3.72 million yuan in total. I will be generous and round it to 3.7 million yuan. Since Yimei says she will pay us, let’s write a statement now.”

Li Xingchen took out a piece of paper and a pen.

The total amount was 3.72 million yuan.

It was an enormous sum to Ying Yimei. It’d take years for her to repay them.

Ever since she and her mother had the support of the Li family, their lifestyle had become extravagant.

Just to keep up this lifestyle, she even sold the apartment her father had left behind and used it to buy a car.

“Xingchen.” Grandma Li tried to admonish Li Xingchen.

Grandma Li thought Wu Tong and Li Xingchen had gone too far.

“Grandma, I didn’t bully her. She said she will pay us back herself. Besides, I didn’t bother to include the small amounts. I have already treated her kindly. It’s not easy to earn money after all.”

Ying Yimei took the pen and paper from Li XIngchen and wrote out the statement.

She did not mind paying the money back to them.

She had Li Qingcang now. That was all that mattered. What else was there to be afraid of?

She vowed to get back at Wu Tong for how she was treating her one day when she became part of the Li family.

“Mom, we’ve got the statement.”

Li Xingchen looked up and saw Li Qingcang standing away from the crowd, outside the room. She gave him a hard glare. “Look what you’ve done!”

Although she was aware that this was orchestrated by Li Qingcang, she was angry at him for not informing them in advance.

Both Li Xingchen and Wu Tong would have had a heart attack when they first barged into the room.

“Ying Yimei, look at the man beside you. He hasn’t been able to look us in the eye this whole time.”

Ying Yimei turned to look at the man beside her. She hesitated in lifting up the quilt.

Ye Tianxin leaned close to Ye Linlang. She asked her mother nervously. “Mom, what is Qingcang planning?”

Ye Linlang patted Ye Tianxin on her back. “Qingcang is not someone who can be easily fooled. You need to have more confidence in him, Tianxin.”
