Helen's Mickey Mouse Underwear
Chapter 55: Helen’s Mickey Mouse Underwear
In Andy’s room, Xiaoyi rummaged through the boxes for a long time but only found a little over a hundred dollars.
Because Pete considered Andy to be a child born out of wedlock, he had always been stingy with him. Jerry’s monthly allowance could reach tens of thousands of dollars, while Andy’s was only a little over a thousand a month. That was given privately by Stephanie.
Although such an allowance would be considerable for an ordinary family, for Xiaoyi in his current situation it was still far too little.

Stephanie actually cared for and protected Andy, but because of her husband’s and son Jerry’s dislike of him, plus Andy’s constant troublemaking and rebelliousness, she had to be outwardly strict with him.
From Andy’s memories, Xiaoyi discovered that Andy was truly a mistreated, pitiable illegitimate child in that household.
Not only did Pete and Jerry bully and humiliate him, but even the servants would pick on him, intentionally or not. Sean and Shelly often framed and mocked Andy because he had once caught them having an affair.
Only Helen Brandt had always treated Andy like a brother and secretly helped him.

“Never mind… first get money for bullets, then figure out how to get more,” Xiaoyi muttered.
“Once I understand this household better, making money shouldn’t be difficult.”
He took a deep breath, opened the door, and headed toward Helen’s room.
Right now, the only person who could help him… was Helen.

Knock, knock, knock.
“Who is it?” came Helen’s voice.
“It’s me—Andy.”
“Big brother! You’re here?”
Click.
The door opened quickly.
---
“Uh… Helen, you’re going to bed this early?” Xiaoyi asked awkwardly.
“Why would I sleep? There’s nothing fun here anyway!” Helen pouted.
“They always take Jerry out, never us!”
She pulled him inside.
“Come in and play with me, big brother!”
---
Xiaoyi followed her into the room.
Helen’s bedroom was larger than Andy’s, filled with toys and plush dolls. Everything was decorated in warm pink tones.
The bed was styled like a princess bed, with matching pink sheets and covers.
It looked luxurious—clearly, she was well cared for.
---
“Big brother, come up! Let’s play a game,” Helen said, beckoning him.
---
“Ahem…”
Xiaoyi cleared his throat and said seriously:
“Helen… I came to ask you for a favor.”
