The counselor made up her mind and explained to Su Qingjiao, "It was my mistake. I didn't realize that Zhou Yi had such a problem before. But thinking about it, it makes sense. Su, you come from a well-off family and are always driven around. He lives with you and is your classmate. It's understandable that he would develop some competitive feelings in comparison."
I don't know why.
Su Qingjiao was very unhappy to hear these words.
It's like using a veiled insult to criticize someone else.
But she maintained her smile, her eyes full of tolerance and understanding, perfectly embodying the words "graceful and generous."
Seeing how sensible Su Qingjiao was, the counselor couldn't help but think that children from wealthy families were indeed well-educated. Then she said, "But Zhou Yi is a good person. If possible, you should also give him some guidance."
"Okay, have Zhou Yi's parents come to the school tomorrow."
"I want to talk to his parents about Zhou Yi's future development."
Su Qingjiao inwardly cursed the counselor for meddling, but was also relieved that Zhou Yi wasn't in the classroom, otherwise her identity would have been exposed.
She pretended to ponder for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Counselor, um... Zhou Yi's father went on a long-distance trip, and his return time is uncertain."
"I'll have Zhou Yi's mother come over tomorrow, is that alright?"
“He’s from a rural area, so he’s a bit sensitive and always wants the best and strongest in everything. Let’s not let Zhou Yi know about this for now, otherwise Zhou Yi will not only have a problem with his mother, but he’ll also think that you look down on him.”
The counselor nodded in agreement: "I know what I'm doing. Have his mother come to the school tomorrow."
Su Qingjiao readily agreed.
After temporarily coaxing the counselor back, Su Qingjiao finally relaxed completely, her heart pounding with nervousness.
Heaven was still on her side; thankfully, Zhou Yi wasn't in the classroom just now.
After school, Su Qingjiao deliberately stayed in the classroom for half an hour. Only after everyone had left did she exit the school gate.
Since Zhou Yi froze the black card he gave her, she hurriedly sold a classic handbag today to pay off the debt she owed her classmate yesterday. To prevent her classmate from suspecting her identity, she paid back double the amount.
She only had tens of thousands of yuan left after selling the bags, which was far from enough to cover her expenses of renting luxury cars twice a day. Not to mention that Zhou Yi was still having conflicts with her and it was uncertain when he would calm down.
She dared not spend the money recklessly, and could only sheepishly take a taxi back to the villa.
When Su's mother saw Su Qingjiao return, she rubbed her aching back and limped, and hurriedly took out some heated food from the microwave for Su Qingjiao: "Jiaojiao, why are you back so late?"
"I specially saved this for you, so hurry up and eat."
Su's mother left her a large bowl of dishes, but all the food was poured into one bowl and piled up together, looking like a hodgepodge.
Upon seeing this bowl, Su Qingjiao was reminded of the bowl used by Tibetan mastiffs in the backyard.
What's the difference between this and feeding a dog?
Su Qingjiao felt extremely aggrieved, and her face darkened.
Seeing Su Qingjiao's unwilling expression, Su's mother also became agitated. She had been doing dirty work for several days and was exhausted, and now she had to endure her daughter's attitude.
Su's mother slammed the bowl down on the marble table: "Eat it or don't, this is the treatment we get now! You still have the nerve to give me attitude? Didn't you eat like this before?"
"If you had worked a little harder and been more charming, you would have been living a life of luxury with Zhou Yi long ago."
"Now I have to get up at six o'clock every day to sweep, mop, and scrub the toilet. That damn housekeeper Cao doesn't care about my broken leg at all and tortures me every day. I can only eat at the servants' table."
"I've really had enough of this! There are eight people at the table, and I have to fight with eight other people for six dishes! There wasn't even a chicken, and the beef was gone before I could even get two pieces!"
"How dare you give me attitude? If you don't work hard, who can you blame but yourself? You'll only get to eat dog food."
Hearing these words, Su Qingjiao felt extremely distressed, her heart aching terribly.
She knew that Su's mother was trying to provoke her, and she also knew that although Su's mother's words were harsh, they were all true.
If her life hadn't changed, she wouldn't have felt wronged eating this meal; she might even have thought it was delicious, since the Zhou family's servants' meals were quite good.
But in the past three or four years, Su Qingjiao has eaten her way around the world with Zhou Yi.
Every dish is meticulously prepared by a five-star chef. The moment it is served is the best time to savor the food; any hotter and it will be too hot, any colder and it will be too cold.
That's what it truly means to enjoy life and to savor delicious food.
The food in front of her was poured into a large bowl, and the cold dishes were heated up and stirred before being eaten together. To her, who had already enjoyed exquisite royal dining etiquette, this was like a dog eating its fill.
At this moment, Su Qingjiao felt a certain hatred for Zhou Yi.
She resented Zhou Yi for letting her enjoy the life of the wealthy, only to take it away from her without a word.
They elevated her to great heights only to push her down into an abyss.
A voice inside her cried out, "I must make Zhou Yi regret this!"
Su Qingjiao took a deep breath, feeling frustrated. She looked around and realized that although there were only the two of them, mother and daughter, in the kitchen, there must be a housekeeper cleaning in the living room.
Su Qingjiao went over and tugged at her mother's sleeve, whispering, "Mom, let's go back to our room and talk."
Su's mother muttered to herself, and although she didn't understand, she still followed Su Qingjiao back to the room.
What do you want to tell me?
"I still have dishes to wash, and I also need to wipe those two-meter-tall vases in the hallway later."
"Jiaojiao, things are different now than before. Don't even think about slacking off later. Go and wipe those vases for me. My legs are broken, I can't reach that height. That damned Cao bastard always gives me this kind of work."
Su Qingjiao clenched her fingers, bearing all the grievances.
When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Zhou Yi is only being a little cold to her now, and these servants are already taking advantage of her!
It doesn't matter,
It doesn't matter........
Once she reconciles with Zhou Yi, she will make these people pay the price!
The two returned to their room. Su Qingjiao composed herself, closed the door, and then said with a serious expression, "Mom, the school teachers want to talk to Zhou Yi's parents at the school."
"Luckily I stopped them today, otherwise if the counselor had come to the Zhou family, the identity I made up at school would have been exposed."
Su's mother naturally knew that Su Qingjiao was pretending to be a rich girl at school. At that time, Zhou Yi helped Su Qingjiao transfer schools and did everything according to Su Qingjiao's wishes.
Su's mother knew that people of their status would only be looked down upon at school. Only by establishing an image of being rich and not to be trifled with from the beginning could she get her classmates to fawn over her.
As the saying goes, when you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity.
