Chapter 100: It Wasn’t Going to Be That Easy to Take Advantage of Her

“Since she snatched my gown, what am I going to wear tonight?”

“Since you sisters are about the same size, you can wear the gown on Ziling so we don’t have to go out and waste money on buying a new gown. After all, gowns are only worn once.”

“Mom, you truly are a cheapskate!”

Her mother hadn’t changed from the stinginess, greediness, pettiness, and opportunism she’d brought with her from the countryside 20 years ago.

It was as if she wasn’t concerned with others seeing how uncouth she was.

“What are you saying? I’m doing this for the sake of this family, for your sake too. You think you won’t need money to get an education? This gown is worth more than 1,000 yuan. Do you think that’s cheap? You just came back from the countryside, so for you a gown that costs more than 1,000 yuan is already a sky-high price. What more could you want?”

For a scourge like her, even a 1,000-yuan gown was too good.

She wasn’t even willing to let her wear such expensive clothes.

“You’re willing to buy a 1,000-yuan gown that will only be worn one time for Yun Ziling, but for me that would be a waste of money. It seems like I really am a superfluous daughter.”

Sneering, Yun Xi appeared indifferent to her mother’s insults. “But it doesn’t matter anyway since I’m a scourge, so everything is the same no matter what I wear.”

“It’s fortunate that you think this way! Don’t think too much about stuff that doesn’t belong to you.”

Liang Xiuqin had a self-righteous look on her face. Yun Xi had saved her a lot of unnecessary speech by being so self-aware.

“Aren’t you worried that second sister will get jinxed from wearing my clothes?”

The dress had been for her, so, of course, she didn’t want to relent or let others snatch it away from her.

However, since it had been snatched from her, then they shouldn’t blame her for trying to seek justice for herself and ridicule her mother at the same time.

Since Yun Ziling was so anxious to dig her own grave, she’d grant her wish and play along with her tonight.

“How can it be jinxed when you’ve never even worn it before? It’s decided then, make yourself presentable and don’t bring shame to our family.”

Liang Xinyi took advantage of Liang Xiuqin’s disgusting treatment and joined on the bandwagon of belittling Yun Xi.

“Yun Xi, sister Ziling is better-looking than you, so she is better suited for this gown. You wouldn’t look good in the gown, so don’t go out and embarrass our family. Just give her the gown.”

Yun Xi glanced at her coldly, and the corners of her mouth curled up in derision. “Okay. Since my second sister likes it, I’ll let her wear it.”

After a pause, she raised her eyebrows and walked over to Yun Ziling. She found the label was still attached to Yun Ziling’s gown.

“However, Yun Ziling has worn this gown already, so I don’t want it.”

Upon hearing that she’d not only acquiesced, but also didn’t want the other gown, Yun Ziling thought she’d suddenly gained two gowns at once and believed she’d gotten a bargain.

Just as she was rejoicing, Yun Xi unexpectedly chimed in again.

“Mom, just reimburse me the money for the gown in cash. Or else, I won’t have a gown to wear, and I won’t give up the gown that someone else gave me. After all, this is Ling Jing’s design. A haute couture gown costs exorbitantly, and who knows how many times more expensive it was than the gown you bought. Even if you wanted to buy it, you might not be able to.”

It wasn’t going to be that easy to take advantage of her.

She takes in everything except suffering.

Liang Xiuqin’s face immediately darkened. “It’s all right if you don’t want the gown, but you want me to reimburse you in cash? Why should I?”

Liang Xiuqin had already bled a lot of money today. She was willing to exchange the cheap gown on Yun Ziling for Yun Xi’s more expensive and presentable gown.

But she didn’t expect that Yun Xi, that wretched girl, wouldn’t want it and wanted her to pull out her wallet.

“I can’t help it, because I won’t wear clothes that other people have worn. If mother is too stingy to give me this meager amount of money, then you’ll have to personally spend even more money to get designer Ling Jing to design a dress for second sister, since she likes it. This gown is mine, and since I don’t have any money, naturally I can only use the gown someone else sent me.”

“Mom!” After obtaining such a treasure, naturally Yun Ziling wouldn’t let it go, and she tugged at Liang Xiuqin’s arm.

“If sister wants money, just give her money. I can wear this gown to the next banquet anyway. I didn’t want to give it to her even if she wanted it anyway. Just treat it as if you’d spent 1,000 yuan on Ling Jing’s gown, because we are totally the ones who got a bargain, all right?”
