Chapter 7:
In the second semester of the third year of high school, everyone was in a tense sprint.
Chen Siyue from class two suddenly wanted to drop out of school, and my mom personally came to handle it.
She pointed her index finger sharply at Chen Siyue's forehead and said dismissively, 'Why are you crying? Your grades are so poor, it's a waste of time to continue studying!' Seeing the disapproving gazes of the teachers and the discussions among the classmates, she proudly raised her head and said, 'What are you looking at? My Siyue is different from you all.
We have a company.
After you graduate from university, won't you still have to work at a company?' I laughed, my mom hadn't changed.
She liked Chen Siyue, but loved herself more.
In my past life, she would keep her distance from Chen Siyue out of fear that I would get angry.
The deep love between mother and daughter had become a joke long ago.
Dropping out of school was indeed shameful, and Chen Siyue couldn't accept it.
With tears in her eyes, she looked at Chen Dongsheng.
Chen Dongsheng turned his face away lazily and said, 'What do you want from me? Go talk to my dad if you have an issue.' The Chen family's company was already facing major problems, and Chen Jianguo was busy seeking help from all directions, hoping to turn the tide.
Seeing that there was no turning back on the matter of dropping out of school, Chen Siyue suddenly rushed towards me in the crowd, pushing me hard and saying, 'Lin Chuyi, I can't go to college, and don't even think about getting in either!' Teacher He quickly supported me and scolded her for her lack of manners.
My mom, feeling embarrassed, quickly pulled the crying Chen Siyue away.
I couldn't help but sigh as I watched their backs.
In my past life, with my dad's help, Chen Siyue was able to pass the university entrance exam and enter a second-tier university.
My dad was overjoyed and threw a big banquet."
Spread in the circle of relatives, taking the opportunity to stomp on the fact that I dropped out of high school in my sophomore year.
Openly and secretly mocking my mother, saying that both my mother and I are uneducated, and that my life has been ruined by my mother.
The family group keeps sending videos, with a respectful sound of flowers and cannon fire, everyone is praising Chen Siyue's success.
Relatives openly belittle me, saying that in this era, I don't even have a college diploma, which is embarrassing.
That was the darkest moment of my life.
No one knows that I drank until I vomited blood that day, just after I had surgery and was lying in the hospital ward.
The anesthesia wore off and I was in pain all over, convulsing.
I was already upset when I received the news that Chen Siyue was accepted to a second-tier university.
Chen Dongsheng still sat next to me and mocked me, saying, "Lin Chuyi, I let you take a knife to me, I can't cure you, can't my dad and aunt cure you?" "I won't let you go to college and leave me.
You've seen the most embarrassing side of me, so you should just be my woman." "Hey hey, my dad said you have character and are good material for doing business.
The company can't do without you now." "Fine, those big old guys in the construction industry, I don't like dealing with them, so I'll leave it to you." "Get lost!" I glared at him resentfully.
He jumped back and hurriedly pressed me back onto the bed: "Do you know that you drank until you had a stomach bleed? Stop causing trouble! If it wasn't for me saving you last night, you would be dead." I stared at him numbly, and after facing off with me for a while, he helplessly spread his hands: "Alright, my bad, I shouldn't have provoked you." "And you, you're just too stubborn, always making me want to control you." He squinted his peach blossom eyes and leaned closer: "Lin Chuyi, this business deal is done, marry me.
I really like you." "The two of us are like the east wind and the west wind, one of us has to yield, can I surrender?" I closed my eyes and let him babble on.
With a mother who holds me back, if I want to avoid being controlled by the Chen father and son, I can only perform well in the company and gain influence.
Otherwise, I can only watch them play with my life like they did in my sophomore year.
Chen Siyue doesn't understand.
She envies me when I enjoy the good life in the Chen family, but how much I envy my father for never remarrying for her sake.
He fears she will be wronged, takes care of her attentively, and fulfills her dreams.
And me, in one social event after another, in one glass of strong liquor after another, mourning my regretful lonely life in flattery and praise.
Now, Chen Siyue, as you wish.
Enjoy this overflowing wealth and luxury.
But can you really handle it?
