Chapter 309: Mom, I want to borrow money from you

Seeing her, Bai Mo could no longer keep up her previous act.

Because as soon as the old woman of the Bai family saw her, she began to curse loudly, "Why did you, this jinx, come to our village? I heard you cursed your own father to death again! Stay away from our family!"

She slammed the walking stick in her hand heavily onto the ground in front of Bai Mo, "Go! Go! Go!"

Dust flew into the air, and Bai Mo had no choice but to step back a few paces.

"Are you trying to come and ask us for money? You're daydreaming!"

With her intentions exposed so bluntly, Bai Mo's face looked terribly ugly.

This damn old woman is really long-lived!

She even called her a jinx; perhaps it was this damn old woman who was so long-lived that she cursed her own son to death, yet she still had the nerve to frame her!

Originally, based on her past temper, she should have left immediately, but right now she needed money.

Bai Mo had no choice but to ignore the old woman, and with red eyes, she looked at Bai Mu, "Mom, I came to borrow money from you."

She showed her injured arm to Bai Mu, "I got into Huai Da, and my aunt paid my tuition, but my living expenses aren't enough, and the classmates in my dormitory often bully me."

"I want to borrow a sum of money from you, and I will pay you back with interest as soon as I graduate and start working."

Bai Mu sighed, "Originally, I should have kept our past mother-daughter affection in mind and lent you money, but I don't have any money on hand right now."

"Did you hear that? No money! Get out now!"

Bai Mo didn't believe she had no money, "When Dad was still here, didn't our family save any money? And what about the money from selling the house?"

Seeing her being so calculating, Bai Mu felt repulsed, "You are certainly good at calculating. Before, the family only had your father's salary, and your expenses for school and clothes were not small, so there wasn't much money saved."

"As for the money from selling the house, don't you worry about it; I have other uses for it."

Looking at Bai Mo's entitled attitude, if she lent this money, let alone interest, she probably wouldn't even get the principal back.

"If you won't lend it, then forget it; there's no need to make so many excuses."

Bai Mo was extremely disappointed in her; she took a deep look at Bai Mu, then turned and left.

The money in Bai Mu's hands had probably all been squandered on her own pleasures; she really didn't plan for her old age at all.

From now on, she would absolutely never step foot here again, nor would she ever call Bai Mu "Mom" again.

Having failed to borrow money, Bai Mo had no choice but to continue enduring collective dormitory life.

Although she and Jiang Sinian chose the same major, other than being able to see Jiang Sinian in class, she couldn't get in touch with him at any other time.

Moreover, Jiang Sinian was extremely heartless, as if he had completely forgotten the sweet past they once shared.

The summer passed in a hurry, and soon it was autumn.

Bai Mo's life was difficult; the season had changed, but she still didn't have the money to buy new clothes and could only wear last year's old trench coat.

Unlike Jiang Siyu and Jiang Yue, who were just like her former self—cherished and protected when she was in the Bai family—needing only to be carefree little princesses besides studying.

They always wore decent and beautiful clothes and shoes, walking with elegance and composure.

She looked down at her boots, which had already lost their finish, and a sense of inferiority welled up in her heart.

However, soon, her life improved.

Her aunt came to the school to see her and even gave her a sum of money.

Just by feeling the thickness, Bai Mo knew it was probably about twenty thousand yuan.

It seemed that her trip home last time was still very useful; her aunt finally knew how to be ambitious.

Although she was still a student, she had already linked income to whether one was ambitious.

It was just that, after not seeing her for two months, her aunt had permed her hair a wine-red color, and her body emitted the smell of cheap perfume.

Bai Mo frowned; it wasn't out of disgust, but she just felt it had a somewhat tawdry air.

However, she was her own aunt and an elder after all, so it wasn't easy for her to say anything.

With this money, after her aunt left, Bai Mo couldn't wait to go to the residential complex to ask about the house, but who would have thought that the house had already been rented out.

She couldn't help but feel a bit regretful and had to share a two-bedroom apartment with someone in the building next door.

This roommate was actually quite easy to get along with, and she was clean; she even cleaned the common areas, which Bai Mo was happy to enjoy.

As time went on, the two of them got along like ordinary friends.

Coincidentally, this Li Meng was in the same major as Jiang Siyu.

"You know Jiang Siyu?" Li Meng had spoken to Jiang Siyu, and in her impression, she was a very fresh and bright girl.

"Yes," Bai Mo hesitated, "We were high school classmates; her family is quite wealthy."

Li Meng was silent for a moment and didn't pick up on her comment.

Being wealthy was a good thing, but Jiang Siyu never talked about it in her daily life, so she didn't know much about it.

It was just that once when she suddenly got her period, Jiang Siyu went back to the classroom to get her a tissue.

Bai Mo couldn't keep up the one-woman show by herself, and after this brief conversation, the relationship between the two of them didn't naturally become that of best friends.

Instead, they became as clearly separated as before.

However, Bai Mo wasn't the type of person who liked to curry favor with others; setting aside her roommate, she was still very satisfied with her living environment.

It was much better than living with those little bitches before.

It was just that, although she lived in the same residential complex, she still couldn't manage to speak to Jiang Sinian.

When Jiang Sinian returned, he was either with Jiang Siyu and Jiang Yue or with a few of his buddies; she really had no way to go up and strike up a conversation.

She was worried that people would say she was throwing herself at him.

……

Today is the birthday of Jiang Sinian and Jiang Siyu.

It is not just a birthday, but also a day carefully planned by Jiang Siyu.

She could see that her brother and Jiang Yue had mutual feelings for each other, but both of them were stubborn and refused to be the one to break that layer of window paper.

Tonight, she would be the one to break that window paper.

For this reason, Jiang Siyu declined her parents' plan to come here to celebrate her and her brother's birthday.

Worried that her mother would feel disappointed, she also comforted her mother well.

"My brother and I have grown so big, this is the first time we're spending our birthday alone!"

"Mom, it was hard for you to give birth to my brother and me, how could we let you travel such a long way again? We can just celebrate our birthday ourselves."

"Mom, love you, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Si Rong felt a sense of loss in her heart; her children had truly grown up and no longer needed her.

They wouldn't even let her attend the birthday party.

"Actually, there's nothing worth going for," Jiang Cheng skillfully coaxed his wife, "It's just a bunch of kids making noise, how annoying!"

"Shall I take you on a trip? Just the two of us, it'll be much more fun than attending their whatever-that-is birthday party!"

Si Rong was moved by what he said and hugged his arm, "Now I finally understand, 'old companion, old companion' means accompanying each other until we grow old."

Fortunately, there is Jiang Cheng, otherwise she wouldn't know how lonely her old age would be.

"Then shall we set off now?"

Si Rong put on her reading glasses and picked up her phone, "Let me ask Ming Zi if she wants to go?"
