“Krila is actually my stepfather’s daughter. She thinks my mother was the mistress who broke up her parents’ marriage, so she’s always unhappy with me, her adopted daughter. When my stepfather is around, her attitude towards me is a little better, but once she’s in private, it’s like what you heard.”
Christie smiled wryly and said, "Because of my mother, I don't dare to argue with her. I thought that after she finished venting her anger, I wouldn't have to bother my mother anymore."
Shu Mowan shook the cup in her hand, "But aren't you afraid that your constant tolerance will embolden her?"
Human beings' inherent weaknesses can be nurtured.
Christie pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and unconsciously fiddled with her nails.
“I’m scared, but what can I do if I can’t bear it? My stepfather is very indulgent towards Krila because of the breakdown of his marriage. He keeps telling my mother and me to be more tolerant of her. If we dare to say a word to her, my stepfather will confront us and ask if we can’t tolerate her and want to kick her out of the house.”
After a long pause, she sighed helplessly, "My mother loves my stepfather deeply and is used to spending money extravagantly. She doesn't dare to divorce him at all and can only tell me to endure it, saying that if I just endure it, I'll have more money than I can spend."
As she spoke, she lowered her head even further, saying, "My mom says that not having money is more frightening than being harassed or scolded."
Hearing these words, Shu Lingxian felt a little angry at Christie's mother.
It's unbelievable that someone would treat their child so cruelly for money.
He was about to speak when he saw Shu Mowan's lips move to say, "Fourth Brother, don't believe her, she's making up a story."
It must be said that Christie's story is quite good; at least it makes people feel involved. They feel disappointed in Christie for not standing up for herself, and they also hate that so-called mother who wronged her daughter so that she could enjoy wealth and luxury.
Shu Lingxian was stunned for a few seconds, then became even angrier.
So this seemingly shy and timid girl in front of him was someone else deliberately sent to get close to his sister.
Very well, it was just an ordinary celebration banquet, yet someone still wanted to harm his sister.
He pressed the tip of his tongue against his back teeth and silently laughed in exasperation.
"Come on, let's have a clink."
Shu Mowan didn't comfort Christie, but instead clinked glasses with her again, saying, "In our country, we say that when people are in a bad mood, they can eat more sweets."
Christie glanced up at her, then followed her to drink her beverage.
"Tonight's banquet is almost entirely attended by models and designers. Shall I introduce you to them?"
Shu Mowan pointed to the guests around her, "Once you have more connections and know how to make money, maybe you can help your mother escape from that family. What do you think?"
Christie's eyes flickered, and she asked in surprise, "You're going to introduce me to your connections?"
Julia said Wanyu was arrogant and conceited, but after getting to know her, she's completely different from what she imagined.
Being in high society circles, you'll find plenty of unscrupulous people. Forget about introducing you to connections; you're already lucky if they don't set traps for you.
"yes."
Shu Mowan said, "My principle is that it's better to rely on yourself than on others. Once you have a strong network of connections, you won't have to suffer the humiliation of living under someone else's roof."
Let's go.
She took Christy to introduce her to connections.
It has to be said that Shu Mowan's proactive approach to socializing immediately attracted a large crowd.
"This is Christy, my newly adopted sister. When I'm not in France, please help her out for my sake."
Shu Mowan introduced Christie.
Everyone was very kind and gave Christie their business cards, telling her to feel free to contact them if she needed anything, and that they would help her if they could.
Christie, holding the business card, was shocked by Shu Mowan's extensive network.
This person seems unassuming, but I never expected so many people to be willing to give them face.
"Tingyu, what is this little sister doing?"
Shu Lingxian asked, puzzled.
"She was giving Christy one last chance."
Si Ting Yu Dao.
His daughter, Wanwan, may be ruthless at times, but deep down she is still quite soft-hearted.
Shu Lingxian turned to look at Si Tingyu, a little annoyed, "How did you know?"
"Because I love her."
Si Tingyu said, "Because I love her deeply, I want to understand her."
The more you observe, the more you become what others call "a meeting of minds."
Shu Lingxian shuddered, feeling a bit nauseous at his mushy manner.
"Tingyu, you've become disgusting."
He expressed his disdain verbally.
"So you think my love for Wanwan is disgusting?"
Si Tingyu looked at Shu Lingxian with feigned shock, "I don't mind telling Wanwan for you."
Don't misinterpret my meaning.
Shu Lingxian got anxious, "I'm saying that you keep saying 'I love you,' it's disgusting and cheesy."
Si Tingyu pretended to suddenly realize something, then said in a sickeningly sweet tone, "I can't help it, Wanwan is just too lovable, I can't help myself."
Shu Lingxian was once again annoyed by his cheesy, witty remarks.
Si Tingyu was no longer the aloof and distant man he remembered.
Right now, he's just a hopeless romantic.
After introducing Christie to her connections, Shu Mowan raised her hand to press her temple and muttered, "My head hurts so much."
Christie tightened her grip on the various business cards in her hand, and subconsciously glanced in the direction where Julia was standing, only to see her point upstairs.
The meaning was clear: take the person upstairs.
Christie's heart wavered. In all her life, she had done many dirty things to climb the social ladder, but this was the first time someone had genuinely introduced her to resources.
She felt a subtle feeling, but also a sense of being cherished.
