"As long as your uncle agrees, that’s good!"
He Tiantian adopted an indifferent demeanor, her tone even hinting at a trace of joy.
One could understand, after all, she was newly married, thoroughly enjoying her world of two with her Painter husband.
Then suddenly Su Muxue, her unexpected niece, popped up.
Although Muxue went to school every day, after school, and on Saturdays and Sundays, she would still wander around the house.
Even if Muxue was well-behaved and knew her aunt didn’t welcome her that much, she tried to stay in her room when it wasn’t necessary.
But having such a big, living person at home was somewhat inconvenient.
Especially Zhao Wenkang, who was very fond of Muxue, wanting to take his niece along when going out to eat or shopping.
The once world of two had become a party of three, and the Eldest Miss would be happy, you think not!
He Sitian had endured for over a year without lashing out, probably because of her True Love for Zhao Wenkang, and of course, while she might act spoiled, she at least had basic manners.
Therefore, knowing her aunt wasn’t very close to her, Su Muxue never complained. Instead, she was very grateful.
Su Muxue slightly lowered her eyelids, concealing the underlying worry and wariness in her eyes.
"Oh, right, do you have enough money?"
He Tiantian pretended not to notice Muxue’s subtle movements, took out her cellphone, and as she spoke, she transferred ten thousand yuan directly to Muxue’s Alipay.
He Sitian was indeed very generous. She never used WeChat to give Muxue pocket money, worried that Muxue might feel embarrassed to accept the money.
Alipay was different; it deposited directly, so there was no refusal from Muxue.
"...Thank you, Auntie!"
Having gotten along for over a year, Su Muxue had come to understand her rich and beauty aunt.
No more refusals; she just wouldn’t say it anymore.
It was because even if she did, her aunt would still do as she pleased.
And being too yielding would make things awkward between the two.
All Muxue could do was save the money her uncle and aunt gave her and, when the chance arose, give it back to them.
Of course, she would always remember their kindness.
Muxue stroked her phone, not checking the balance, but she knew that given her aunt’s temper, the pocket money she got was usually five thousand or ten thousand.
At the beginning, it had shocked Muxue.
As a high school student, her aunt would buy her clothes, shoes, and skincare separately, and her uncle would pay for tuition, textbooks, and tutoring fees in advance. She had breakfast and dinner at home, so it was just lunch at school.
There was a cafeteria at school, and the food was cheap.
A lunch wouldn’t even cost ten yuan.
Plus, she’d eat a little snack or drink a milk tea after class.
All together, the daily expenses wouldn’t exceed thirty yuan.
Going to school for twenty-two days a month, the total wouldn’t be more than seven hundred yuan.
And her aunt would hand out five thousand or ten thousand every month, at least two or three times.
During New Year, festivals, and birthdays, there were additional large red envelopes.
When visiting the He Family with her uncle and aunt, the elders would also give her red envelopes.
In the year and a half since Muxue had come to live with her uncle, the balance in her specific "pocket money" bank account had already exceeded 50,000 yuan.
Perhaps, to Muxue, this seemed a very large sum, but it might not compare to a single handbag that her aunt carried.
But, Muxue couldn’t measure by the standards of the Eldest Miss; she herself was just an ordinary citizen, and she had to view her aunt’s generosity from her own financial perspective.
...So, it’s true that her aunt wasn’t very close to her, but she had by no means treated her poorly, in fact, she took good care of her.
Muxue’s fingers unconsciously twirled around her hair, her mind deeply conflicted.
"Don’t mention it, you call me aunt, and I have to take good care of you!"
"But, I’ve been pampered all my life, I’ve never taken care of others, you’ve seen it at home, it’s mostly Wenkang who takes care of me!"
"The only thing I can offer is money!"
"Oh, right, isn’t it time to pay for your tutoring classes? Although high school workload is heavy, you still have to learn any specialty classes you want!"
"Wait up, I’ll transfer some more to you. Aside from dance, think about anything else you might want to learn; it’s up to you!"
As He Tiantian continued to talk, she nonchalantly transferred another 50,000 yuan to Su Muxue.
But Muxue’s eyes lit up.
Yes, she could learn some other skills.
Dancing could enhance a girl’s temperament, but if she encountered danger...
Or Wing Chun Tai Chi?!
Muxue calculated silently in her heart, her delicate and gentle face flashing with determination!
