I'm back in 1990

Chapter 816: Plastic Sisterhood

"I'm Back in 1990" - Stunning writing style and a captivating plot!

Zeng Xia has been very frustrated lately. She is the kind of person who shoots herself in the foot. Now she's penniless. Her monthly salary isn't even enough for her to have one dinner with her girlfriends.

The one who tied the knot must untie it. Taking advantage of her younger brother's business trip, she secretly returned to her parents' home and took the feather duster back with her.

"Mom and Dad, I know I was wrong, and I promise I won't do it again."

Zeng Jiahua and Qian Jiazhen, the elderly couple, knew their daughter very well. They could tell what she was up to the moment she bent over.

So Zeng Jiahua didn't give her a kind look at all: "If you know you're wrong, then go back and live your life properly. Taking good care of Liujin is the best thing you can do."

Seeing that the old man was unmoved by her words, Zeng Xia had no choice but to turn to her elderly mother for help: "Mom."

The elderly mother, Qian Jiazhen, also looked disgusted: "Oh dear, you're such a grown-up, still acting like a child. Have some shame!"

This left Zeng Xia speechless, but the situation was beyond her control. She hadn't achieved her goal of returning, so she certainly couldn't just leave like that.

She simply stated bluntly: "How can my parents possibly give me enough money? Could Huo Miao give me a little more each month?"

Zeng Jiahua looked at his daughter with a half-smile and asked, "First, tell me clearly, how much is this little bit?"

Zeng Xia weakly held up two fingers: "This is enough. I promise I won't use it recklessly."

Zeng Jiahua's eyes widened: "What?! Twenty thousand?"

Zeng Xia quickly corrected her father, "Dad, 20,000 isn't enough! It's 200,000!"

Zeng Jiahua immediately turned to his wife and said, "Old woman, isn't it time to go? Time to leave!"

Qian Jiazhen immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, it'll be too late if we delay any longer."

Zeng Jiahua immediately told them to hurry up and leave: "Your mother and I are going to see a play, you should go back now! Everything else is negotiable, but the issue of money is out of the question!"

The elderly couple simply left their daughter at their doorstep, locked the door, and walked away.

Zeng Xia stomped her foot in anger and drove off to find her older sister, Zeng Hong.

Zeng Hong was helping with accounting at the head office. Zeng Xia knew she was there, so she easily found her.

Upon seeing her younger sister, Zeng Hong immediately put down what she was doing and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?" She knew that her sister wouldn't come to her without a reason, so there must be something she needed. However, her younger brother had already warned her that if Zeng Xia came to her, she could talk about anything else and help her, but not about money.

"Big sister, please help me put in a good word for me. Look at me," Zeng Xia said, opening her bag for Zeng Hong to see and turning her clothes pockets inside out to show that she was clean.

"Isn't this great? You could change your clothes every day for half a year without repeating the same outfit. You also have food and drink at home, so there's nothing for you to spend money on. Besides, if you want to change your taste, you can come to your brother-in-law's place anytime. If this place is too far, there's a branch near your house. You can just go there." Zeng Hong shut her down immediately.

Zeng Xia stamped her feet anxiously: "Big sister!"

Zeng Hong understood her sister's meaning, but unfortunately, she couldn't help her. She advised, "Alright, alright, I'm busy here. You should go back and tutor Liu Jin."

While speaking, he pushed Zeng Xia away. Zeng Xia had never been treated like this before. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and could only turn around and leave.

After gritting her teeth and persevering for a few more days, Zeng Xia went to get off work and left work on time, staying at home every day, feeling very bored and tormented!

Her sudden disappearance from her social circle caught the attention of her superficial girlfriends, for the simple reason that they had lost a generous friend.

So, naturally, the phone rang.

"Xia Tai, it's me, Mei Qi! Why haven't you been out lately? I've missed you. I've made plans tonight, how about we get together?"

Zeng Xia forced a smile and replied, "I've been so busy with work and family lately, I can't keep up. I'll treat you to a meal when I'm done."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zeng Xia made an excuse and hastily hung up the phone.

At that moment, Qian Meiqi, who was making the phone call, was with several other ladies who often played with Zeng Xia.

Seeing Qian Meiqi hang up the phone, a woman named Shi Yueyue asked, "Meiqi, what did Xia Tai say?"

She said she's had a lot going on at work and at home lately.

At this moment, another woman named Ren Jing curled her lip and said, "You believe that? Her workplace treats her like a goddess. She doesn't have much to do at work. What could possibly happen at home? Her husband manages everything outside the home perfectly, and she doesn't have to worry about anything at the factory. I think there must be another reason."

After Ren Jing's analysis, everyone agreed that it made sense.

At this moment, Ren Jing had another idea. She said to a woman, "Amei, doesn't your husband have business dealings with Xia Tai's husband's factory? Go back and talk to him, and ask him to help find out what's going on."

Ren Jing's suggestion was unanimously agreed upon by everyone, and the woman named Amei also agreed.

Zeng Xia stared blankly at the clothes and bags in the walk-in closet at home. This walk-in closet was converted from an entire bedroom and connected to the master bedroom. It was more than 40 square meters in area, so the space was very large and could accommodate almost all of Zeng Xia's clothes and bags.

Many of the bags and clothes inside were still unopened and unused. Zeng Xia had considered selling some of them, but she quickly dismissed the idea.

Their circle is very small. If people find out that she wants to sell bags, who knows what kind of rumors will spread? It would be too embarrassing for Zeng Xia to bear.

Moreover, Qian Meiqi's call made her feel a bit stifled. She wasn't stupid; of course, she could tell that Qian Meiqi's call was to find out about her, which was why she felt stifled.

Sometimes, some information cannot be kept secret, and soon the woman named Amei found out some details.

This news came from the finance department of Huo Miao's factory. It seems that something happened in Director Huo's family. It is said that the boss's wife spent money extravagantly, which displeased the elders in the family, so they have taken control of her finances. The story is quite detailed, because two more people have been added to the factory to supervise the finances. Nobody knows exactly where they came from.

As the saying goes, good things do not go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles away.

The news quickly spread within Zeng Xia's former circle of close friends.

These people only saw a part of the story and did not truly understand Zeng Xia's background. Although Zeng Xia was arrogant, extravagant, and spent money lavishly, she never revealed to her so-called best friends that Huang Xiaochuan, the richest man in Asia, was her brother. Therefore, her friends only knew that Zeng Xia's husband owned a factory, that she herself was a wealthy woman, and that she came from the countryside of Suzhou.
