"My family still wants me to marry that idiot. They've already found a marriage partner for my brother. As long as I marry that idiot and bring back 1,000 yuan as a betrothal gift, they'll give my brother a wife!"
"It's exactly as you said. Why? I really can't understand why they would do this to you, your parents."
"Sister, you don't understand. There are many people in this world who are just like me. Their parents don't really love their children. Instead, they use them as tools to make money!"
Shen Chunyan had never experienced this feeling before, because her parents had always been very good to her, including her grandparents. Even though she was a girl, her status in the family was no lower than that of a boy!
She had also heard that in this era, some families favored boys over girls, treating women as slaves and as tools to make money!
"I'll give you the money, and you go and explain everything to them. If you don't have anywhere to go after that, you can come work in my shop and help us with some work, and I'll pay you!"
"Sister, I don't want money, just give me something to eat and drink!"
"Then we'll talk about it later!"
After arriving home, Shen Chunyan went into the house and took out a thousand yuan and handed it to the girl. Because there were both large-denomination bills and small-denomination bills, the thousand yuan looked like a very thick stack!
The girl had never seen so much money before. It was an astronomical figure for her. She couldn't believe it was true that someone would really lend money to a stranger like her!
To be honest, she was quite nervous before coming here today. She didn't know whether Shen Chunyan would keep her promise and really lend her the money!
But she was really desperate. The betrothal gift would be given tomorrow. As long as she got the gift, she would belong to that person. She would be his wife for the rest of her life. There was no way to save the relationship!
So she had no choice but to run away. She wanted to give it a last try, but she didn't expect Shen Chunyan to really lend her the money!
The girl took the money and fell to her knees!
"Sister, you are my benefactor in this life. I will definitely treat you well in this life. You are my second parent!"
"Don't say that, girl. It's just a piece of cake for me. Go ahead and resolve the matter. Sometimes you just have to be a little ruthless. If you keep getting entangled with them, you'll always be their puppet!"
"I know sis!"
The girl took the money and walked away quickly!
In fact, Shen Chunyan was not sure whether the girl could return the money to her, or whether she really encountered such a thing!
She was also gambling, gambling on her ability to judge people, whether she could judge whether what a person said was true or false. Even if the girl lied to her, it didn't matter. It was just one thousand yuan, she would earn it back sooner or later. One thousand yuan was enough to see a person's true nature, she thought it was not bad!
In the following days, the store was renovated and its style changed. Many advanced elements were installed, making it look very high-end!
Sister Zhao was very satisfied with the decoration arranged by Shen Chunyan. She knew that Shen Chunyan had a very good sense of fashion, much better than hers!
During the shop renovation process, many people came to ask when it would open. After all, it was a big deal to have such a fashionable barber shop and beauty salon in this small town!
Shen Yaoyang hadn't been here for several days. He listened to Shen Chunyan's words and decided to study hard and get into college. He especially wanted a motorcycle. His elder sister had promised him, and he believed that his elder sister would definitely give it to him!
But Shen Mengyao kept saying bad things about Shen Chunyan beside him, saying this and that, Shen Yaoyang was really annoyed to death!
"Second sister, can you please stop talking?"
"Everything I told you is true. Didn't you see how proud Shen Chunyan was when we were dancing that night? She was like a butterfly, dancing with this person now and then with that person!"
Shen Yaoyang put down the pen in his hand and looked at his second sister. He didn't think much of his second sister before, but now he felt that his second sister was always gossiping in front of him and saying bad things about his eldest sister, but his eldest sister had never said anything bad about his second sister!
"Chen Mengyao, please get out quickly. I still need to study!"
"Yaoyang, what I said is true, believe it or not!"
"Get out, get out!"
Chen Mengyao walked out of her brother's room. She could no longer let Chen Yaoyang do things for her. It seemed that Chen Yaoyang had been brainwashed by Shen Chunyan. It seemed that she could only find someone else to help her in the future!
Shen's father and mother were very happy to see that their son loved studying so much. After all, no matter what the reason for studying, if he could be admitted to university, it would be a great joy!
So even if Shen Mengyao said some bad things about Shen Chunyan to her parents, as long as their son studied hard, they would not say anything to Shen Chunyan!
Chen Mengyao was very angry. In her previous life, she was the one who was loved by everyone, but why did things change after her rebirth?
Why did Shen Chunyan become so smart? She even knew how to lose weight. In her previous life, she was very fat, and I made her eat all the time. She never thought about losing weight. Why did she change in this life?
Chen Mengyao was very puzzled, but she couldn't just give in like that. Oh, there was still a beauty pageant coming up in a while, and she had to outshine all the other girls in the pageant and become the best to win the championship. That way, she would be outshined by Chen Chunyan!
With this idea in mind, Chen Mengyao decided to go to the art troupe to continue practicing dancing, and she had to work harder to achieve success.
When she arrived at the art troupe, there was no one in the entire troupe except her. It was just right for her to practice alone so as not to be disturbed by others!
Just as Shen Mengyao was about to turn on the lights to practice dancing, she heard some indescribable sounds!
At first she thought she had misheard and was hallucinating, but after a while, she felt that it was really that voice. She was extremely shy. Although she seemed to be very open-minded, she was actually very conservative and would never have sex with a man before getting married!
But who in the art troupe did such a thing? Chen Mengyao was very curious and wanted to know.
The hall in front where the entire art troupe performs has a lot of red silk and curtains covering the backstage!
Normally everyone trains backstage, and sometimes in the front, but because there is no one there, the curtains are always drawn!
Shen Chunyan listened to the sound and it seemed to come from the other side of the curtain!
She tiptoed over and wanted to lift the red cloth to see who was behind it!
But before she lifted the red cloth, she heard a familiar man's voice!
