That was why she always received more chocolates during Valentine’s day than the school belle, even though she was not the most beautiful student.

Rong Yan’s gaze turned gentle after seeing Rong Nuo, and she walked over afterward.

Rong Nuo heard footsteps and looked up. The moment she saw Rong Yan, a trace of deep surprise flashed past her eyes, and she said, “Big Sister, you’ve become so beautiful now.”

Rong Yan smiled and sat on the seat opposite to Rong Nuo. “I wasn’t good-looking before?”

Rong Nuo shook her head. “No, you’re beautiful before, but you were more like an artificial flower. Now, you have become a real one.”

Perhaps even Rong Yan herself did not know that her transformation made her beauty become further sublimed. Even if she was doing a casual activity or even if her face had no expression on it, it seemed to bring along a wave of soul-stirring beauty that was always present.

Rong Yan smiled. “Tell me, what’s the matter? It’s not just wanting to see if I’m beautiful, right?”

Rong Nuo’s expression immediately became serious. “Big Sister, I want to tell you something. Aunt Yang Yan and Second Sister have no more money, and they’re looking for you. You must be careful.”

It didn’t surprise Rong Yan. Without giving a part of her monthly salary to Yang Yan, the little money that Rong Shenghai made every month was not enough for them to spend at all, especially with Rong Jia’s lazy and indolent nature.

Only when Yang Yan had no money, would she think of Rong Yan.

“Mm, I got it. Do you have enough money?”

Rong Nuo shook her head. “I have enough. I saved all the money you gave me and didn’t even give it to Father. I’m helping my classmates with their homework recently and the money earned is enough for my living expenses.”

Rong Nuo was 16 years old this year and Rong Yan could see a shadow of herself at that age.

When she was sixteen, like Rong Nuo, she could not count on her parents. She could only earn money to support herself.

Rong Yan did not want Rong Nuo to work so hard, but after thinking about it, she did not say it out loud. Rong Nuo would have to depend on herself eventually, and she could only help her that much.

Rong Yan took out another bank card from her bag. “Don’t be too hard on yourself. There are fifty thousand dollars inside. Keep it for your university school fees. Don’t refuse. Take it while I still have it. Remember, no matter what happens at home, don’t take it out. Perhaps one day, it will be your life-saving money.”

Rong Nuo swallowed back her refusal. Her eyes turned red as she held back her tears. And with a smile, she said, “Big Sister, don’t worry. I’m selfish and cruel. I already know how ruthless and greedy Aunt Yang Yan and Second Sister could be. As for my father, his weakness can’t be helped that no matter how much money you give him, it’s no use. I won’t give them a cent of the money Big Sister gave me.”

The living environment since Rong Nuo was a child had given her a ruthless heart. She knew the importance of money for their family.

She also hated all the people in the Rong family, including her own father, but Rong Yan was the exception. After Yang Yan came into Rong Nuo’s life together with Rong Yan and Rong Jia, she had liked this elder sister who braided her hair, helped her with homework, and attended her parent’s meeting. In a sense, Rong Jia felt that Rong Yan was just like the saying ‘an elder sister is like a mother.’
