Chapter 90

The next day.

Zhao Qingqing left her house with dark circles under her eyes.

She wasn’t going to school; she was going to her workplace to find her father.

Her mother had cried the entire night, adamant that there would be no divorce.

She had never confessed that the money was from her, and she felt guilty about it, so she was determined to stop the divorce.

Just as she was leaving the alley, she saw a plump figure, and her heart immediately sank.

“Ye Yao, stop right there!”

A furious shout, completely ignoring the fact that there were other neighbors around.

Hearing the shout behind her, Ye Yao instinctively stopped, turned her head, and saw it was Zhao Qingqing. She sighed.

It was early in the morning, and trouble had already found her!

Zhao Qingqing quickly walked up to her, and upon seeing Ye Yao’s new clothes and shoes, she burned with jealousy.

“Ye Yao, you’ve ruined my family, and you still have the nerve to flaunt yourself like this?”

Ye Yao looked at her like she was an idiot.

“Are you still half-asleep? Shouting here?”

Zhao Qingqing contorted her face in anger. “Before, you framed me and Li Yukun, ruined my reputation, and even caused my mom to be seriously injured. Now, my parents are about to divorce because of you.

You’re just a troublemaker!”

She raised her voice, making sure the people around could hear her clearly.

“How is my parents’ divorce related to our family?”

Ye Yao, of course, understood Zhao Qingqing’s little scheme, so she simply explained it in front of everyone to avoid any future rumors.

Zhao Qingqing’s eyes started to shift wildly, and a malicious thought suddenly rose.

“My dad took our family’s money to support you and your mother. All this time, you’ve been buying things nonstop. Where did the money come from?”

Since things had escalated to this point, she could only pin the blame on her dad. If she could use this opportunity to turn the situation around in their favor, it would be a kind of “compensation” for their family.

Ye Yao raised an eyebrow, impressed by her cunning little plan.

“Why are you silent now? The money I spent came from my dad. Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

Zhao Qingqing straightened her back, speaking fiercely.

Sure enough, with her words, some of the neighbors around started whispering.

Everyone had seen Ye Yao’s “flaunting” these past few days, and they had all been guessing the money came from the Li family. But now, could it really have been from Zhao Jianshe?

Zhao Qingqing’s face lit up with triumph, her eyes provocatively staring at Ye Yao.

Let’s see how she explains this!

Ye Yao smiled instead of getting angry, and her eyes curved with amusement.

“You say I spent money from your dad? What evidence do you have? Zhao Qingqing, do you think you can just say whatever you want with no proof?

As an adult, you should be responsible for spreading rumors.

I also heard about what happened yesterday. Your family lost money, and your mom said your dad took it, but your dad denies it, and it’s even escalated to the point of a potential divorce.

I don’t think it’s that simple. I’ll find Zhao Uncle and ask him about it. If money went missing from your home, you should have reported it to the police.

Let the police investigate how the money disappeared, and why you’re so sure it was given to our family?”

Zhao Qingqing froze for a moment, and her face immediately turned ugly.

Report to the police?

If the police were involved, they’d find out that the money was actually taken by her.

So, she absolutely couldn’t call the police…
