Chapter 297: Chapter 240: Sisters Flowers (Requesting Monthly Tickets!) Chapter 297: Chapter 240: Sisters Flowers (Requesting Monthly Tickets!) Meng Yiyi, female, underage, is a high school girl from a certain city in Zhejiang Province.
Current goal, to get admitted into Zhejiang Media University.
This time, her trip to Hang City was to attend an examination.
Among her mother’s relatives, Zhang Qiqi had the best relationship with her cousin, Meng Yiyi.
Because in some ways, she could be considered her own little fan girl.
The internet-famous campus beauty could feel that her cousin admired her for being beautiful, stylish, and especially popular online.
She always felt that there was something inherent in her cousin… a certain admiration for the strong?
And she had always been sweet-talking since she was little.
She never called her “cousin” but would rather cling to her with cries of “Sister! Sister!” incessantly.
As they grew older, perhaps due to family reasons or something else, this cousin’s demeanor resembled that of a delicate white flower–pitiable and evoking sympathy.
In fact, due to the special nature of their family, Zhang Qiqi’s parents didn’t want her to be too close to this cousin.
In reality, many such parents exist; they would meddle in your social circle, telling you to play less with certain classmates or even to have less contact with certain relatives.
But the moment they had a problem, they always thought of asking for help from Meng Yiyi’s mother, who is Zhang Qiqi’s aunt.
Because her so-called “uncle” did possess significant influence.
Mmm, Zhang Qiqi’s aunt was actually the mistress that her uncle kept outside.
In her memory, she had only met this “uncle” once.
He was an imposing figure, not the easiest person to get along with, and someone who cared greatly about saving face.
He wasn’t exactly the ultra-rich tycoon type, but he certainly was much better off than Zhang Qiqi’s own family.
But somehow, Zhang Qiqi always felt that deep down, this “uncle” was a very shrewd man.
However, three years ago, it seemed he had encountered a huge problem in his business, and in the end, he even went to prison.
The internet-famous campus beauty was keenly aware that her mother was ashamed of having such a scheming sister and deep down looked down upon Zhang Qiqi’s aunt.
But within this contempt, there was also jealousy of the aunt.
The aunt was inherently prettier than her mother, had a better figure, and had that kind of savvy personality, knowing how to handle people well.
Having become the “uncle’s” woman, she really lived the so-called life of luxury akin to that of a young madam.
She didn’t need to work, didn’t have to worry about money, lived every day in a well-furnished house, and even had a maid to serve her.
She just needed to visit the beauty salon, attend yoga classes, and maintain her beauty and figure.
Additionally, she had quite a lot of freedom. “Uncle” might not even meet with her a few times a month, rounding up, she was already living the blissful life of a rich widow.
To tell the truth, a man nearing sixty, honestly, he just didn’t have it in him anymore.
Their relationship was mainly sustained by the presence of their daughter, Meng Yiyi.
But it’s a pity that she was a daughter.
Before her “uncle” went to jail and started eating “iron rice bowls,” could cousin Meng Yiyi be considered a spoiled rich beauty?
Naturally, she could.
“It’s just that because of her sensitive and unique identity, the aunt has always taught her from a young age to be sweeter with her words, more polite, and more perceptive of others’ intentions.”
“In their house, that man who seldom visited, he was the sky!”
“So, Yiyi does have a bit of a delicate nature, but it isn’t extreme, and because of her identity, she sometimes feels a bit inferior. I often see a lot of contradictions in her.”
“Especially after the upheaval three years ago, her personality has changed even more,” Zhang Qiqi thought.
The Yiyi of today had completely become a child of a single-parent family.
And the financial situation at home was getting worse year by year.
Zhang Qiqi felt that her aunt was sometimes just too foolish.
She could’ve leveraged her “uncle” to establish her own career.
But she had almost never done so.
She had opened a beauty salon once, but after incurring losses, she completely gave up on the notion of starting a business.
Actually, even Meng Yiyi found her mother to be somewhat foolish in certain aspects.
Back when there was a margin for error, she didn’t explore multiple attempts.
Now without much margin for error left, she started to focus solely on making money but realized she no longer had the capacity for it anymore.
Someone who used to be quite imaginative, over time, being an appendage to a man, her mind became less and less agile.
And now, over the years, they had ended up losing a substantial amount of their savings.
Moreover, it’s easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult the other way round.
The mother and daughter’s current life was not going well.
Relatives and friends also became increasingly disdainful of them.
And things like property and cars, which previously belonged to the “uncle,” were now gone, of course.
In reality, many people who are mistresses to big bosses, even if something goes wrong in the end, they are still better off than most.
But for those who are mistresses to medium or small bosses, and if the man is a bit more cunning, it can be a different story.
Zhang Qiqi asked herself, why, even though the family’s relatives don’t think much of them, was she still on good terms with Meng Yiyi?
The main reason was two-fold.
The first was because they genuinely had a connection since childhood. Yiyi was sweet-talking, often complimented her, sometimes even mimicked her; it was clear that she truly looked up to her cousin from the bottom of her heart.
