The transfer records in Su Yan’s account were completely empty. When she worked abroad, she received her earnings in cash. When she returned to China and entered the entertainment industry, she used another bank card, which is why there were no transfer records on this tuition fee card.
Mother Su, upon seeing this, was briefly taken aback. She subconsciously looked at Su Qingyan and said, “How is that possible? 1 made sure Qingyan…”
Her words stopped abruptly as she suddenly realized something. Mother Su narrowed her eyes.
Su Qingyan’s face displayed a hint of panic. She hurriedly approached and said, “I… 1 didn’t transfer the money… Mom, 1 know you’ve always disapproved of sister studying abroad. So I thought that if I didn’t provide her with tuition, she’d come back. 1 just wanted to make peace in our family and prevent you from getting angry…”
Su Yan clenched her fist. “Is it your place to decide on my matters?”
As these words came out, Su Qingyan lowered her head. “Mom, I didn’t mean to. 1 just wanted to avoid constant arguments in our family…”
Su Yan’s chin stiffened, and she didn’t say anything, instead, she looked at her mother.
Mother Su took a deep breath. She understood her younger daughter’s mindset. She had always sought attention and favoritism since she was young. Even at the age of one, if she held Su Yan for too long, the younger one would cry loudly, making her the sole recipient of her mother’s attention.
Su Yan didn’t fuss or cry; she just sat quietly on the side. Gradually, Mother Su started to overlook her.
During meal times, Su Qingyan was always the first to be fed because Su Yan wouldn’t cry. Occasionally, when Su Yan was upset, her mother would comfort her, saying, “She’s your younger sister; you should be considerate.”
Later on, when they bought nice new clothes, Su Yan would have them, but Su Qingyan didn’t necessarily have the same ones because Su Yan didn’t care much about it. But it was precisely because of this that Su Qingyan always pushed herself.
When Su Yan ranked third in her class, Su Qingyan was determined to get first or second place; she had to be better than Su Yan. So, Mother Su had turned a blind eye to such matters, thinking it was a healthy competition.
However, she never imagined that Su Qingyan would withhold Su Yan’s tuition fees. Without the tuition fees, how could a girl survive abroad? Even with occasional part-time jobs, she could only earn a little for living expenses. Tuition fees were the major expense!
For an average office worker, how could anyone earn 600,000 RMB in a year?
Mother Su’s face darkened as her gaze shifted between her two daughters.
At this moment, Su Qingyan looked uneasy, as if she feared losing her parents’ favor. There were even tears in her eyes.
Su Yan, on the other hand, stood tall with a defiant spirit. It was as if she had come to collect a debt.
Mother Su choked up and directly said, “If 1 didn’t give it to you, I didn’t give it to you. What do you want now? Do you intend to ask for money? Those tuition fees were originally a kindness from your parents. Do you think it’s your right to demand them?”
Su Yan,”??”
She couldn’t believe her eyes. Then she found it laughable. She had thought that by revealing the truth, her parents would be fair to her. But she had forgotten that the favored one always acted with arrogance!
Mother Su even waved her hand. “Enough. This matter is your younger sister’s fault. After the recording of the show is over, I’ll have her apologize to you. But what are you trying to do now? Are you planning to publicly expose this on the show? Are you so immature? Family matters shouldn’t be made public. Don’t you understand this? Do you want to force me to acknowledge you as my daughter through this? To acknowledge that you are mine?”
Su Yan had turned off her own recording device as soon as she approached her mother. After her mother finished speaking, she left without a word.
Mother Su didn’t chase after her.
The viewers watching the livestream were curious,
What did they say? Why does Mother Su seem like she scolded her? Did Su Yan come to apologize?
—I’m also very curious about how this will turn out!
Suddenly, Chu Tianye walked over to Mother Su. His recording device was still on, and his voice transmitted to the livestream room. “Auntie, they are both your daughters.. How can you be so biased?”
