Chapter 682
Liu Zhaodi was startled by the warning in her words, panic flashed in her eyes, and then she said harshly:
"Everyone in the world is doing well, but I'm the only one suffering. I haven't done anything wrong, but all the bad things are happening to me!
My dad is so stupid! My mom is so mean! If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be in this situation now.”
Su Miao looked at her coldly, his mind clear.
So more than two years of labor reform only made her learn fear, but did not make her truly realize her mistakes.
Also, how can a person's character and values, which he or she has developed since childhood, be changed in a short period of time?
Liu Zhaodi came to see her today because she was afraid, so she showed weakness to her. The resentment in her words did not include her because she was afraid.
Su Miao said tentatively: "What's the point of saying this now? Now that we're out, let's find a way to move on."
"Oh, that's easy to say. Not everyone is as lucky as you, with a father who can make money. How can I leave when I have nothing?"
As Liu Zhaodi spoke, envy and jealousy flashed in her eyes.
Su Miao suppressed his nausea and said with an expression of approval:
"That's true. Maybe I inherited my good fortune from my mother. If I had to say who had a good life, it would have to be her. Although my father wasn't rich before, he always obeyed her and she didn't have to worry about anything at home.
She got divorced in her thirties, and yet she was able to marry a powerful local tycoon so quickly. She became the wife of a wealthy family without any hesitation, with cars to pick her up and nannies to take care of her. She must have had a very comfortable life.
These words hit the mark exactly for Liu Zhaodi, as she had always taken her aunt as her role model since she was a child.
My aunt is beautiful and educated. She works in a good and respectable job and never has to worry about trivial matters.
Especially after marrying her new uncle, she was surrounded by luxury and had seen many good things she had never seen before. Riding on her uncle's influence, she also had a prosperous life at school.
While she was in labor reform, she kept thinking that if she could marry a powerful man like her aunt, she would not have to endure all these sufferings.
But, where in the world are there so many rich people for her to meet?
Su Miao looked at her uncertain expression and suddenly said in a cheerful tone:
"Otherwise, you can ask her to help you. After all, she liked you so much in the past, she definitely wouldn't have the heart to ignore you."
Liu Zhaodi said hesitantly:
"You know what? Ever since my dad got into trouble, my uncle has disliked our family. My aunt has also become much colder to him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have stopped visiting me!"
"Your uncle is a businessman, and outside of that, he cares most about his reputation. Naturally, he doesn't want to have anything to do with you inside.
But aren't you out now? He's always been very kind to the younger generation. Some time ago, he even asked my mother to come to me, saying that he had no children and wanted to adopt me as the heir to the family business.
It can be seen that he really wants to have a child of his own, but unfortunately my mother has not been pregnant after so many years of marriage.
If she could really give Uncle Wang a child, regardless of gender, wouldn't her life be secure for the rest of her life?"
Inherit the family fortune? How could he let someone who had no blood relationship with him inherit the family fortune?
A strange light flashed in Liu Zhaodi's eyes, and she asked, "Then why didn't you go?"
Su Miao said hurriedly: "How can I feel embarrassed! I am not his child, how can I take his money?
If people outside knew that I had a father and was still trying to take my stepfather's property, I don't know how badly they would criticize me."
After hearing what she said, Liu Zhaodi laughed in her heart and called her a fool.
Such a huge family business, yet you just give it up for the so-called reputation?
My aunt was right when she said that Su Miao was not impressive enough and could not accomplish anything great. Even though he has become rich now, he cannot hide the petty-mindedness in his bones.
Su Miao added nonchalantly:
"Uncle Wang is truly a master at business. I heard he's in real estate now, making several times more than before. He owns five or six properties in the city, and he drives an imported car."
Liu Zhaodi's breathing became noticeably faster, and she licked her cracked lips unconsciously:
"My aunt loved me the most... She even said she would buy me a gold necklace... She brought me from Ning County to the city, so she should take care of me."
Su Miao looked at the greed gradually burning in Liu Zhaodi's eyes and sneered in his heart.
She knew Liu Zhaodi too well. She always pinned her hopes on others and always felt that the whole world owed her something.
After thinking it through, Liu Zhaodi couldn't wait to find her aunt and uncle. Didn't her uncle want a child?
My aunt had said before that I was like her daughter. Since my uncle recognized Su Miao, whom my aunt didn't like, he could naturally recognize her as well.
Then she can break away from her stupid parents and idiot brother and become the eldest daughter of a wealthy family!
Su Miao suddenly changed the subject: "Are you going to meet them like this?"
Liu Zhaodi looked up suddenly: "What do you mean?"
Su Miao pointed at her broken shoes and torn jeans:
"My uncle is a well-known figure now, and he cares about his reputation the most. You come to his house so rashly..."
Liu Zhaodi's expression changed. She looked down at her sloppy outfit, and her fingers unconsciously grabbed the hem of her shirt.
"I can... clean it up..."
She said without confidence, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said with a rogue look:
"Cousin, please lend me some money so I can pack more neatly."
"This..." Su Miao looked hesitant.
"I'm going to go find my aunt and uncle. They're so rich, are you still worried that I can't pay it back? I'll pay you double when the time comes."
"It's not that I want you to return it, it's mainly because my mother came to ask for peace last time, and I disagreed, which made her angry. She said she would never contact me again.
If she knew you borrowed money from me, she might vent her anger on you..." Su Miao answered awkwardly, looking as if she was thinking about her.
"That's easy. I just don't tell her!" Liu Zhaodi said decisively.
"Okay, then I'll pay for the dessert first, and you'll have the rest."
Su Miao walked over and paid for the bowls of desserts without Lin Wang's consent, and then gave the remaining 23 yuan to Liu Zhaodi.
Liu Zhaodi took the money and suddenly said, "Su Miao, you have changed."
"Yeah?"
"You... never did this before..." Liu Zhaodi seemed to be searching for the right words, "... helping me. You usually quarreled with me and then cheated me."
Su Miao chuckled: "People always change, just like you. Haven't you learned to say 'thank you' now?"
Liu Zhaodi's expression froze, then she forced a fake smile: "Yes... Thank you."
She took the money and was about to leave, but before leaving she didn't forget to drink up the last sip of the sugar water:
"Su Miao, I'm leaving now. The next time we meet, I won't envy you anymore. I'll definitely have what you have!"
