Does she think his money falls from the sky?
If it were before, he wouldn't mind her spending it. But times have changed—the Qiao family now only has a glamorous exterior; inside, they're empty.
Why is she so thoughtless? Still spending money so recklessly?
Qiao Pengjian angrily dialed Qiao Shiyue's number.
"Shiyue, what did you buy? Thirty thousand in one go?" His voice was thick with reproach.
Qiao Shiyue had already been wronged by Tang Yu, and now being questioned by Qiao Pengjian only made her feel more aggrieved.
She sobbed, "Third brother, can't you even bear to let me spend thirty thousand? Am I not your most beloved sister? How can you question me over a mere thirty thousand?"
"Mere thirty thousand? Do you have any idea what thirty thousand means? How many ordinary people can't earn thirty thousand in a year of work? Do you know how much thirty thousand can buy? With thirty thousand, you could buy enough rice for an adult to eat for over two hundred years. Thirty thousand could buy a house in a small city, and you spent a whole house on one meal, and you call it 'mere thirty thousand'? Put your hand on your heart and tell me—if it weren't for the Qiao family backing you, how long would it take you to save thirty thousand working an outside job?" Qiao Pengjian was almost shouting.
Qiao Shiyue was furious and burst into loud sobs.
Hearing her cries, Qiao Pengjian felt an inexplicable irritation.
How had he never noticed before how annoying this sister could be?
He'd only said a few words to her—was it worth crying like this?
She had just swiped his credit card.
She was nowhere near as easygoing as Yunyun. Yunyun would never touch his things without permission, let alone secretly use his credit card.
He suddenly realized he had never given Yunyun any allowance.
He looked down at his phone, his mind replaying bits and pieces of their time together.
She was a girl who loved to laugh, and her smile was incredibly cute.
When they were young, she always liked to rub her fluffy head against him.
He loved carrying her on his back and running around the yard.
Back then, they had a very gentle Labrador.
When he ran with his sister on his back, the Labrador would chase after them wildly.
When he couldn't run anymore, the Labrador would grab his clothes, urging him to keep going.
In middle school, when a boy wrote Yunyun a love letter, he directly led his friends to corner the boy in an alley. After that, no boy dared to write her love letters anymore.
In high school, when some girls bullied her, he brought his brothers to stand up for her.
She would curl up in his arms and cry, and he wished he could beat those girls to death.
He remembered riding a motorcycle with his friends and falling off a cliff—she was the one who, against everyone's objections, resolutely climbed down to find him.
He remembered the big earthquake when everyone fled to safety, but she alone came against the crowd, carrying him on her back to escape the hospital.
When the hospital collapsed into ruins behind them, she was so relieved.
To this day, he still didn't understand how her small frame could hold so much strength.
They had such a good relationship back then. When did it start to go downhill?
It seemed to begin when he found out she wasn't his biological sister.
Shiyue came to them, crying her eyes out, saying she was their real sister. At first, none of the three brothers believed her.
But their parents' attitude made them waver.
Later, when the test results were placed before him, he had no choice but to believe that this frail girl was his biological sister.
