Chapter 151: She Needed Money
At the Shi family…
“Shi Yong, give me some money. My membership card for the beauty salon is about to expire,” Qu Li said to Shi Yong, who was lying on the sofa, as she applied a cream mask on her face.
Shi Yong was typing on his phone. When he heard Qu Li’s words, he exited the chat and said with a cold tone, “Those beauty salons are only lying to you. They’re useless.”
The money Qu Li spent on that face was at least a few million, but it didn’t seem to get better at all.
More importantly, Shi Yong didn’t have much money in his hands.
Even his house was mortgaged. Shi Yong couldn’t retrieve the several ten thousand dollars in his bank account. Not only that, he’s giving Xing Er almost ten thousand dollars a month.
It would be fine when Glory World merged with the company. At that time, not to mention hundreds of thousands, it would not be a problem for the company to make tens of millions of yuan a month.
Qu Li was still a little puzzled. In the past, when she asked Shi Yong for money, he would just give it to her without much comments. Why did Shi Yong have this attitude today?
He had a mistress?
For the past two weeks, Shi Yong had been very cold to her. He barely looked at her even when she changed into a pair of seductive lingerie.
A woman’s natural intuition hinted to Qu Li that there was something wrong with Shi Yong.
“Why is it useless? You don’t know anything about what a woman wants. Are you going to give me the money or not?” Qu Li walked forward and looked at Shi Yong with some scrutiny.
Shi Yong was a little scared by her gaze, so he explained, “The company is short of money recently and I’ve invested all my money into it. When we sign the merger contract with Glory World, we will slowly earn our money back. You have to be tolerant of the situation, okay?”
Hearing that the company was short of money, Qu Li was slightly relieved. She thought for a moment, then, she said, “The company is short of money. Don’t you know to look for Qin Yu? Our family has raised her for more than ten years. Now that she has gone to the Ning family, shouldn’t she repay us? We still haven’t gotten back the money that the Ning family gave her!”
When Shi Yong heard this, he said somewhat helplessly, “I think that she has long been leaning towards the Ning family. She definitely isn’t willing to spit out this money. Although Qin Yu is silly, the people from the Ning family are all shrewd fellows. If we go over, we will be chased out of their doors.”
“But we can’t just let it go! The money belonged to us. Without us raising Qin Yu for so many years, she would have starved to death outside. Since the Ning family isn’t willing to fork out the money, then we’ll make a commotion of this matter. We’ll see if they want the money or the peace and quiet.”
Qu Li’s voice grew louder as she spoke. In the end, she began to curse, “They’re so rich. What’s there to give us a few dollars to spend? Qin Yu is the worst. Doesn’t she know take the initiative and ask for the money from the dowry?”
Shi Yong knew that after marrying Qin Yu to the Ning family, he did not receive any benefits. That sum of money had not been returned until now. He suddenly felt as if he had raised Qin Yu for so many years in vain.
He completely forgotten the alimony he’d received from taking care of Qin Yu.
“No, I have to go and look for Qin Yu again. Does this little girl think that she doesn’t need to repay me after marriage? I’ll give her a good scolding!” Qu Li said through gritted teeth. Then, she immediately packed her things and headed for the Ning family.

“Young madam, is this durian not good? It’s the gold standard!” Ah Bi’s somewhat anxious voice sounded.
“No, sister Ah Bi. It’s too small and not as meaty. We can’t use it to make our cake. Let’s go shopping in two days.”
Qin Yu put down the knife and took off her gloves. Just as she was about to drink some water, she heard a servant announced, “Young Madam, Madam Qu is here.”
Qu Li? Qin Yu felt as if a lifetime had passed when she heard this name.
The horrible woman who used to give her nightmares every night. When she was in the Shi family, Qin Yu would be nervous and anxious whenever she heard her voice.
After being in the Ning family for so long and being away from the gloomy and dangerous environment of the Shi family, Qin Yu subconsciously forgot about the people and things that used to make her feel extremely depressed. She deliberately did not want to think about them.
However, even if she did not want to think about some people, they just had to appear.
The Ning family was a big family. As she was the granddaughter-in-law, naturally she could not forbid her adoptive mother from entering the house.
Qin Yu nodded at the servant. “Let her in.”
A moment later, Qu Li walked in from the door in a pair of sky-high heels. When she saw Qin Yu from afar, her sharp voice sounded.
“You wretched girl, don’t you recognize your own family after getting married? It’s been so long and you didn’t even make a call, let alone come back for a visit. Where is your conscience?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Qu Li walked over and pulled Qin Yu over. Her strength was rough and rude, carrying a sense of resentment.
Qin Yu was caught off guard and almost lost her balance and fell. She barely managed to stand up. When she raised her head, she saw Qu Li staring at her with a dark and sharp gaze.
