Lady Bai looked at Shen Qingcong with disbelief. When she saw the clear, beautiful face carrying an obvious, undignified cold pride and chuckle, she angrily stood up, pointing at Shen Qingcong with a clenched jaw, she bitterly spat out, "Fine! Fine, Miss Shen. You certainly have a sharp tongue, very good! Truly very good!"
Shen Qingcong gave a light smile and continued to provoke, "Lady Bai, there's no need for your emphasis. I'm aware that I'm good! You can rest assured! Even though Xiangyang is a great person, I've always considered him a friend, so there's no need for you to worry that we might one day become family! Goodbye! Or no, it would be better... if we never meet again!"
Having said that, Shen Qingcong resolutely turned around and left.
The slim, tall figure radiated an air of stubborn defiance and refusal to accept defeat.
They looked down on her, but she was equally contemptuous of them!
Thinking that having a bit of stinking money makes them grand, and allows them to bully and humiliate people?
Right! She might be a poor girl now, but as long as she is willing, she could soon become a wealthy person! As long as she is willing, she could soon rise above the Bai family.
What right does the mere Bai family have to be arrogant?
Shen Qingcong sighed slightly, touching the small hexagram pattern on her wrist.
This treasure she acquired from a roadside stall, a system for trading dimensions from an alien planet, is her capital to rise!
Shen Qingcong walked confidently through the grand doors of the Bai family, looking up at the sunny sky. The sun was bright to the point of dazzling, but it couldn't sweep away the gloom in her heart, couldn't get rid of the strong desire for battle burning inside her.
"Qingcong, wait, wait for me, Qingcong, Qingcong, Qingcong…"
Hearing Bai Xiangyang's urgent call from behind, Shen Qingcong paused. She turned and looked at this simple-hearted, sunny boy. There was a hint of pity in her cold eyes.
Bai Xiangyang is a good person. It's just a pity that he has such mean and snobbish family members. She honestly couldn't lower herself to their level.
Bai Xiangyang rushed in front of her with an apologetic face, "Congcong, I'm sorry! I didn't know my mom would act like this. I apologize on her behalf. I'm sorry! Can you forgive her?"
His pair of dark, bright eyes were filled with a thin layer of mist, making him look innocent like a gentle little animal, making people reluctant to hurt him. No wonder his parents are so protective of him.
Wasn't she the same, treating him like a younger brother?
It's just a pity…
Shen Qingcong smiled at him, patting his shoulder, "Xiangyang, you don't need to apologize! You're my friend, so I know who you are. As for your mother... from the perspective of a mother caring for her son, she didn't do anything wrong. She just wants you to have a better, happier life! I won't blame her!"
She silently added in her heart: "I will only strive to improve myself. Later, with the achievements I make, I'll show these despicable people what I am capable of."
Bai Xiangyang looked at her warm smile as it spread across her beautiful face. This warm and calm smile of hers was like an addiction to him, as poisonous as poppies.
But now, her faint smile was making him feel an unfamiliar distance.
He had a premonition that once she left, they might never have the possibility of being together in this life again!
Bai Xiangyang impatiently grabbed her hand, urgently saying, "Qingcong, what does my mom matter? Even if I must give up this status, I still want to be with you! Congcong, I'm not afraid to suffer! For you, I'm willing to endure any hardship!"
