Chapter 157 – Did The Boss Have A Stepmother too? (2)
Yan Shuyu might be enthusiastic and friendly, but the graceful and solemn rich woman, sitting with her back straight, didn’t seem remotely as friendly. She lifted her chin and gave Yan Shuyu a nonchalant glance. Yan Shuyu immediately felt that she was being weighted and the outcome was obviously disappointing as there was resentment in the rich woman’s eyes.
Without even any effort to hide that resentment, the woman said, “So you are Yan Shuyu? You don’t look all that. Oh, never mind. Sit down.”
The rich woman’s I-am-showing-you-mercy-by-letting-you-have-a-seat attitude had greatly offended Yan Shuyu. She had always believed that she was extremely talented and amazing. And, now she even has an incredibly beautiful body, arguably the “fairest of them all”, so how dare the rich woman look down on her?
Plus, they have never even met before. This random rich woman coming out of nowhere just decided to belittle her for no reasons. As affluent as she might seem, it still didn’t change the fact that she has mental issues. She didn’t need to sit and chat with someone with mental issues.
Yan Shuyu took a deep breath and decided to go back to being her nonconfrontational little fairy. There was no need for her to engage with this rich woman who was obviously ill. She took a look at her and was about to turn and leave when she heard resentful words suddenly coming out of the rich woman, “Such an immature girl. I don’t get what Qinhe sees in you.”
She knew the boss? Yan Shuyu, stunned for a little, and pulled back her leg that was already heading in the other direction. Now, it’d all make a lot of sense if the rich woman was the boss’s family member. Even she didn’t feel that she was good enough for the boss, so it’s only natural that the Zhou’s family member would look down on her.
Yan Shuyu wasn’t pleased with the rich woman’s arrogant manner, but she figured the rich woman was probably here to offer her help on the subject that had been bothering her so much lately, perhaps she could spend some time chatting with her.
Yan Shuyu talked herself into taking a seat, but she was nowhere as friendly as she was a moment ago. Cold and with an untouchable air, she said, “What do you want from me?”
She was just learning it on the spot from the rich woman. Naturally, the rich woman was much better than her at being stuck up. Merely lifting her chin was sufficient for her to convey her insufferable arrogance. The words out of her were severe as well, “Yan Shuyu, born to the lower class. Had been a good-for-nothing since an early age. You’ve quit school and eloped with your gangster boyfriend. You had no skills and were also unlucky, your gangster boyfriend was killed in a street fight shortly after your child was born. Having lost that meal ticket, instead of looking for a decent job, you decided to turn to the red-light district. You can take a girl out of her elements, but you can’t take the elements out of her…”
Yan Shuyu: “……”
Was she here to offer her help or looking for a beating?
“But, you have your ways. Even so down on luck you were, somehow, still able to come into contact with Qinhe. Are you thinking that he is going to be your golden meal ticket, bring you into the upper class, and that you will never have to worry about anything else for the rest of your life once you’ve married him?”
No, that was not Yan Shuyu was thinking about. Her biggest thought at this very moment was regret. She shouldn’t have, out of her own desperation, thought that this woman was here to offer her help to her. As the saying goes, you don’t go for the jugular when you want to help someone.
This rich woman in her fanciful clothes was vicious to say the least, as if she wanted to stab her in her heart with every single word. If her age wasn’t off by so much, Yan Shuyu would second guess that she had stolen the rich woman’s man to have caused her to have such hatred toward herself.
