After My Feigned Death and Return, I Scared Away All My Relatives

Li Miaomiao, a self-abasing and socially anxious girl who was gaslighted by her family and relatives since childhood and subjected to campus violence by her classmates, one night dreamt of an immor...

Chapter 29 A Realistic Dinner

These days, Li Miaomiao was heartbroken as she recalled the past. She had experienced too much in her senior year of high school. Her grandmother, who had loved her since she was a child, passed away, and she also met a pervert like Wu Zhang.

Although I was admitted to a top university, it was not the school I originally wanted to go to, and I chose a major in a confused manner.

Li Miaomiao liked psychology when she was in high school, but because of Wu Zhang, she was admitted to the secretarial major that she had applied for as her first choice. Li Miaomiao has regretted this for the past few years.

She always wanted to make up for the regret she had when she was eighteen, so she chose to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Unfortunately, her family did not agree, so she had no choice but to graduate and work to earn money, and then pay for her tuition herself.

Work has been very difficult this year. I was already careful enough, but I still offended a bunch of perverts inexplicably.

Li Miaomiao went to work every day with dark circles under her eyes, and long periods of insomnia made her even more haggard. Ever since being bullied by Ji Yixiang, she was terrified every day and even wondered if she had developed panic disorder again.

When Li Miaomiao came to work, Ji Yixiang looked at her coldly. She just prayed silently in her heart: It doesn't matter what happens, I just hope that they are master and apprentice, no, master and servant, no, husband and wife, no, adulterers... men and women, please don't hurt me again, I can't take it anymore.

The greasy uncle looked at Li Miaomiao with a look of disgust and added, "Go follow Director Li. Our small temple can't accommodate a big Buddha like you."

Li Miaomiao knew that the greasy uncle had also gone to Director Li to sow discord between her and Director Li. When the two met that day, Director Li said to her, "I heard you said you don't want to work and just want to stay home?"

"Except for the time I rejected Sister An Ning's request, I have never rejected any job," Li Miaomiao said frankly.

"Okay, I believe you. After all, I can see how you behave. I know what kind of people they are. We have been together for so many years, so of course I know they are talking nonsense." Director Li said with a smile and took a sip of tea.

Li Miaomiao curled her lips, feeling very unhappy. She felt that she had suffered too many grievances recently and wanted to tell Director Li everything, but after all, he was a colleague, a leader, and an elder. How could she say such things?

She kept it to herself and pretended to smile as she chatted with Director Li. At noon, Director Li had a party with his friends and asked Li Miaomiao and a male colleague Xiaojun to go along.

Xiaojun is one year older than Li Miaomiao. He is very good at dealing with people and is very good at getting along with everyone, so Director Li likes him very much.

Li Miaomiao doesn't like such people, nor does she like to do things this way, and she doesn't know how to do it. When she was a child, she didn't know how to please the teacher because Zhang Xue knew how to do it, and Zhang Xue was her enemy, so she was often beaten with a stick.

A person who never tries to please others, and who is described as "lacking tact" by some leaders or others who like to put on airs, turns out to be a people-pleasing person. Yes, she has received too much wrong education like this since she was a child and has no self.

When she was little, the toy she wanted to play with was snatched away by An Ran, who was five years older than her. When Li Miaomiao went to get it back, her aunt said, "Give it to your brother to play with for a while. We don't want yours anymore."

Li Miaomiao was scared and wanted her mother to help her, but her mother said, "How can you be so rude? Can't you share with your brother? And you have so many toys, what's wrong with giving one to your brother?"

When Li Miaomiao was a child, she liked to play some mecha games and watch mecha cartoons. Once she bought a Bumblebee with money given to her by her grandmother. She loved it so much, but it was snatched away by An Ran.

"Why would a girl play this? You don't like it. Only your brother, who is a boy, likes it." Mom still said the same thing.

Li Miaomiao was scolded for being ignorant and rude, but she had suffered too much grievance. Ever since she had a younger brother, she had to give in to her younger brother in all aspects. She felt so wronged.

She had tried to be a smooth-talking person, but she couldn't learn it no matter how hard she tried. She was even scolded by her classmates: "Miaomiao, study hard and don't show off. It's not good to show off."

After all these years, she finally decided to be herself, but when she saw someone like this again, she didn't care anymore and felt that there was no need to please anyone or anything.

This time at the dinner table, Xiaojun said a lot of flattering words. The table was full of middle-aged men, many of whom were bald, and some of them brought young and beautiful girls in their twenties with them.

Next to Li Miaomiao sat a woman who looked to be in her twenties. She was dressed up in a white dress and looked very pretty. The key point was that everything she wore wasn't cheap, especially her bag, and she also had a foldable phone.

This woman has been following an old man in his fifties or sixties. It is said that this old man is in business. Li Miaomiao is not interested. Of course, she also knows what is going on and just eats her own food.

The woman next to her was quite nice to Li Miaomiao. She picked up some food for her and poured her some hot water to drink.

Li Miaomiao is a person who dreads this kind of dinner party the most. Every year, the New Year’s Eve dinner makes her so anxious that she suffers from high blood pressure and insufficient blood supply to her brain afterwards.

The woman seemed to notice that Li Miaomiao was afraid of this kind of situation. She did not ask her to eat, drink and chat like others did. Instead, she spoke to her alone beside her. She was very gentle and understanding, which indeed made Li Miaomiao less nervous.

Director Li was drunk at the dinner party and was on friendly terms with the young and old men sitting next to him. They were obviously all secretaries and cadres, or businessmen, but they acted like bandits, just like the Liangshan Marsh.

Xiaojun also changed his previous behavior. He joined in every conversation and toasted everyone one by one. Although he toasted with water, his sincerity was not lacking at all. Everyone praised Xiaojun for being sensible and polite, and also praised Director Li for his good training.
