<h4>Chapter 1291: Her Shameless Aunt and Uncle</h4>


    He Xiyan looked at the wad of cash that her grandmother had handed her. She didn’t ept the money nor did she n to ept it.


    She was very surprised by her usually miserly grandmother’s gesture but she didn’t ept it because she didn’t want to owe someone else a living.


    Her grandparents hadn’t even extended a helping hand when she was facing the most difficulties, so she didn’t need their help now either.


    “Grandma, you should keep your hard-earned money,” she said as she waved her hand and refused to ept the cash that her grandmother had handed her.


    She heard footsteps cking against the ground and deduced that it was the sound of leather shoes clicking against the floor.


    Soon, her uncle Lu Ziming entered the room.


    He was wearing a brand-new leather jacket and shoes and a lit cigarette dangled from his fingers.


    She turned to look at him and her lips twisted into an ironic smile.


    Her uncle was gradually getting richer and richer. His leather jacket probably cost at least 3,000 to 4,000 dors.


    Her aunt was also d in luxury brands and her clothes would cost 1,000 to 2,000 dors each.


    “He Xiyan...” Lu Ziming said as he approached her. He was still smoking and exhaled thick rings of smoke into the air.


    He reached into his pocket, dug out a wallet, pulled the zipper, and took out some cash.


    He XIyan nced at the cash on his hand and guessed that there were probably 1,000 to 2,000 dors in his hand.


    Lu Zimng handed the cash to He Xiyan before he said shamelessly, “Xiyan, please forgive me for failing to live up to expectation. I didn’t earn much this year, so here’s 1,000 to 2,000 dors for you to further your studies. You may think of it as a cash gift for the new year from me. You mentioned that I had borrowed money from your parents, but I’d like to let you know that I didn’t borrow anything from her parents. Instead, I had borrowed the funds from your aunt’s family to buy a house.”


    “What!”


    He Xiyan froze in shock and her eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn’t believe that such a shameless and brazen man could exist in the world.


    Chen Lu came to the living room, stood beside her husband, and looked coldly at He Xiyan. There was no warmth in her eyes and she looked like she was looking at her bitter enemy instead of her rtive.


    “Yan Yan, as your uncle mentioned earlier, he didn’t borrow a single cent from your parents. If he had borrowed money from your parents, I’m sure that there was probably an IOU written to acknowledge the debt. We’ll only return the money if you manage to produce such a document,” Chen Lu said coldly as she slid her arms around her husband and stuck her free hand in her pocket. She looked as though they were the ones who were collecting a debt from her.


    He Xiyan clenched her jaw when she listened to their grant excuses and her blood boiled with anger. Her anger spilled over like boiling water and spread all the way to the fingertips.


    She raised her hand and smacked it hard across Chen Lu’s face.


    Soon, she heard Chen Lu’s loud shriek.


    “He Xiyan!” she shouted angrily in the kitchen. Her voice was high-pitched and grated on one’s nerves.


    Her uncle Lu Ziming said furiously, “Apologize to your aunt!”


    He Xiyan took two steps backward and she gripped the backrest of the chair. She was so angry that her eyes had turned red and bloodshot and the veins on her neck popped out, one at a time.


    She looked at the shameless couple who stood in front of her, her uncle and aunt. She would never have thought that they could be so shameless.
