Chapter 1157: Chapter 1157: No Loan

"Do you think I’m running a bank?"

Yang Xiaoxi was nearly choked with anger, and both Cheng Feiyang and Lu Siyuan looked at Zhu Yun’s thick-skinned audacity with newfound respect.

It was rare to see someone with such a thick hide.

"Xiaoxi, I know you have money. Although you’re not a banker, you do keep your money in the bank. If you really consider me your cousin, lend me twenty thousand yuan, I’ll write you an IOU right now." Zhu Yun was almost desperate to fetch paper and pen on the spot.

Yang Xiaoxi glared, "No, I don’t have money. If you want to borrow money, go ask your maternal family or let your husband borrow from his relatives. Anyway, I don’t have any, and I won’t lend you a penny in the future. Don’t even think about borrowing from me ever again, I’m broke."

Yang Xiaoxi had long since decided not to lend Zhu Yun any money.

She was well aware of the situation in Zhu Yun’s household. The supermarket used to be quite good until Zhu Yun’s husband got hooked on gambling, neglected the supermarket to gamble each day.

Plus, Zhu Yun was lazy, sleeping in late, not tending the store when it was hot or cold, nor when it was windy or rainy. They hardly opened the market a few times a month, and the hygiene inside was atrocious. Who would want to shop there?

With Zhu Yun’s attitude, whatever business she ran was bound to fail.

As soon as Yang Xiaoxi mentioned not lending money, Zhu Yun’s face changed, "Xiaoxi, you’re being too heartless. After all, we grew up together, I’m your cousin. Now it’s just the two of us in Beijing; if we don’t look after each other, who will? It’s me asking you for help now, but who knows, maybe one day you’ll need to ask me."

She might be out of money now, but fortunes change; she didn’t believe she would be poor forever.

"If you’re willing, stay for dinner tonight, eat and then leave. If you don’t want to have dinner, leave now. I won’t lend you the money. I was the uncharitable one first; if I ever come to you for help in the future, just leave me outside your door and ignore me."

Yang Xiaoxi was resolute in her refusal to help and was direct in her words.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yun was so angry her face flushed and her neck swelled, "Xiaoxi, you really have no regard for our relationship anymore, do you?"

"No more regard."

Yang Xiaoxi said.

"You..." Zhu Yun got even angrier. But since she was the one asking for a favor, she had no choice but to add, "Then how much can you lend me? I know twenty thousand is a lot, so you tell me, how much can you lend me?"

"Not a single penny."

Lending money to Zhu Yun was like throwing it into the water; the couple was getting lazier and lazier. Continuing like this, she would be the real sucker.

"Xiaoxi, you don’t want to acknowledge me as your cousin anymore, is that it?"

Zhu Yun was also angry. She had been holding back all this while, and before coming, she had bragged in front of her husband and told her son they would have meat for lunch. If she didn’t manage to borrow a single penny, she would surely be scolded when she got back.

Zhu Yun was very clear that her husband was somewhat polite to her only because she had a wealthy relative like Yang Xiaoxi. If she failed to borrow money once or twice, her husband’s attitude toward her would definitely change.

Although her husband might not have money now, he was a native of Beijing, albeit from the countryside, and had better family conditions than hers. If their house ever got expropriated, the whole family could start living a good life.

"I don’t have money to lend you. If you still recognize me as your cousin, we’ll remain relatives. If you don’t want to, then that’s that. It’s up to you." Yang Xiaoxi had decided to let things fall where they may; after all, earning money wasn’t easy for her, and she couldn’t support Zhu Yun’s ungrateful family.

"Fine, Yang Xiaoxi, just remember what you’re saying now," said an infuriated Zhu Yun. "I, Zhu Yun, don’t solely rely on your money to survive."
