A banquet is coming to an end. There were guests saying goodbye one after another.
Xia Rou feels tired. Today, many people are curious about her and come to talk to her.
This is the treatment she longed for in her previous life, and she really got it, but she felt that it was not as satisfying as she expected.
In fact, that is the case.
Desires come more from the heart of people. When there is no greed in the heart, those once strong desires fade away.
Seeing that Cao Yang was still drinking, she was a little worried about him. Although she knew he was a good drinker.
But today he is the protagonist, and he is greeted and sent off, not to mention that this is a celebration, and this wine will definitely not be able to hide.
These are beyond her control. Although she also attracted some attention, but at this dinner, she was always just a supporting role.
Unlike her, Cao Yang is the protagonist everywhere.
But she was never jealous.
Whether in her previous life or in this life, she has never been jealous of Cao Yang's brilliance.
On the contrary, in the previous life and present life, she was proud of his radiance.
She put down the glass, entered the main building from the side hall, and went to the bathroom. Sitting on the toilet and resting for a while, I felt a little back pain.
Wearing a small dress, of course, must match high heels. You have to always pay attention to your posture and maintain a smile. After three hours, it is also a huge physical exertion.
The point is, since she was reborn, she has been wearing flat shoes. It's been a year, and I'm not used to wearing high heels again.
She rested for a while, feeling much more relaxed, before leaving the bathroom.
She was a little worried about Cao Yang, he drank too much today. She wanted to see if he was all right.
The guests have all left, and only the waiters in the vestibule are cleaning up the aftermath. Xia Rou went around, but didn't see Cao Yang, not even Cao Bin.
They all drank a lot today, Xia Rou thought they might have gone back to their room to rest.
Xia Rou was also tired. She walked through the main hall and walked to the stairs. Seeing that there was no one around, she simply took off her high heels and carried them in her hands. Stepping on the carpet of the stairs with bare feet, I felt as if my feet were liberated.
She was so comfortable that she couldn't help letting out a sigh.
These feet are still her sixteen-year-old feet, and the bones and muscles have not adapted to high heels like she did when she was an adult.
She walked to the corner of the stairs and couldn't help but bent down and rubbed her little toes squeezed by the shoes.
Glancing out of the corner of the eye, I saw a goose-yellow skirt flicker at the elevator on the first floor.
Cao Yang, being half-supported and half-supported by a person, helped him into the passenger ladder.
Xia Rou remembered that she saw that light yellow dress at noon.
By then the caterer had come in with the wait staff and started setting up. She walked out in that goose yellow dress. Aunt Fang scolded her back and told her not to make trouble.
He Lili went back to the annex angrily.
Cao Yang looked like he was very drunk. Subconsciously, Xia Rou put on her shoes and walked upstairs, wanting to follow and have a look.
After going up two steps, suddenly something flashed in her mind, and Xia Rou was stunned for a moment.
In his previous life, Cao Yang hadn't suffered such a serious injury, and he came back in May. At the end of May, this celebratory dinner was held at home.
Two days later, Aunt Fang, who had been in this family for more than ten years, suddenly resigned.
Cao Xiong never allowed her to formally attend the Cao family's banquet.
That time, he told her to study hard, "Don't delay the midterm exam." Later, he didn't even bother to give these reasons. He showed with his attitude that he would raise her, but not give her more.
It was only May at that time, and the weather was still a bit cool. The banquet was held in the main hall on the first floor.
It was the first time she saw such an occasion, hiding at the corner of the stairs, quietly peeking down from the gap in the railing. The clothes are bright and the temples are full of jewels. This is a world she has never been in contact with, and she is deeply shocked.
Two days later, I heard that Aunt Fang had resigned. She was a little surprised, but not sorry.
Even, a little happy.
That woman always had a straight face to her, always acting like she was the master, and she didn't like her at all.
She also asked why Aunt Fang left her job. No one gave her an answer.
She didn't really care, so she just let it go.
At this time, Xia Rou was standing on the stairs, she couldn't help being stunned when the past and present were all connected together.
I can't believe it.
Yes, she has always understood He Lili.
For that kind of life and yearning for that class, she understands her desire very well. She herself, in order to stay in this class, got engaged to a man she didn't really like that much.
But... but this kind of thing...
She couldn't believe that He Lili had no bottom line to this extent.
She took two steps back, returned to the corner of the stairs, sat on the steps, and stared at the elevator.
She waited there long enough, long enough to settle a drunk, and went downstairs. But that elevator, no one came down again...
She stood up, considering whether to go upstairs to stop it. But after thinking about it for a moment, she gave up.
Regarding the ability to handle various things, she knew how big the gap was between herself and Cao Yang.
There's nothing big brother can't solve. Even in the previous life, the eldest brother didn't suffer any disadvantages, and solved the matter silently. She got involved recklessly, maybe even self-defeating.
She sighed and walked silently to her room.
It turns out that girls, for a little greed, let go of their face and shame, they are so ugly...
Although she is not so bottomless, but... In the eyes of the Cao family, she doesn't look good, does she
Otherwise, why later on, Cao Xiong would stop caring about her at all...
Hot water sprayed from the shower, making a splashing sound.
Xia Rou closed her eyes, raised her head, and let the hot water rush straight to her face...
Slowly, she lowered her head and covered her face...
A day later, Aunt Fang, who had worked in the Cao family for more than ten years, resigned without warning.
He Lili thought that Cao Xing and Cao An were brought up by her mother no matter what, and she has worked in this family for more than ten years, so she must have some affection. She overestimated her mother's status in this family.
As Aunt Fang once told her, she worked for the Cao family, and the Cao family paid her a salary—more lucrative than other places. The so-called relationship between her and the Cao family was all an illusion of He Lili.
The blood on the mattress, in exchange for Cao Yang's sneer and disdain.
In Cao Yang's study, facing her mother's livid face, He Lili was in extreme embarrassment.
She didn't expect Cao Yang's heart to be so hard.
In order to be realistic, she did not hesitate to break her own hymen. All he got was a disgusted look.
"If you want to, I'll call a friend from the police to come over and check whether there are any semen spots on the sheets." He said lightly. Facing the young woman's naked/naked body and sad and weak appearance, he didn't move at all.
He's not stupid, he doesn't know whether he did it or not. Drunk like that, he is not a vajra, but he can still make her bleed so much.
Men don't respond when they're drunk. The so-called promiscuous sex after drinking, the one who is really drunk is definitely not a man.
Not to mention that he didn't date her at all, if he really missed her, it was just a matter of money.
Since Cao Xiong became the commander of the military region, Prince Cao has met too many women who wanted to seduce him.
And for this kind of woman who had the guts to plot against him, he wouldn't even give this money.
He also wrote a check and gave it to Aunt Fang. "Your severance pay. You've worked hard all these years," he said.
There was no room for maneuver at all.
He put the check on the desk and left.
Aunt Fang struggled for a long time, but still put away the check. She felt ashamed, but she had just lost her job, and her daughter had just entered society, so she had to bow to life.
She slapped He Lili backhand.
"You've lost all my face!" She was so angry that her lips trembled.
He Lili whimpered and cried.
She didn't expect Cao Yang to be so desperate.
She felt that she didn't want much, she just wanted to follow him. She didn't even dare to think about her name.
If you can have children, you may still have the possibility of marrying into a wealthy family relying on your stomach. Rely on a layer of film? What age!
She thought that Cao Yang would take pity on her if such a situation was made. But no, a strong man like Cao Yang cannot allow others to plot against him.
She didn't realize it until later when she saw his gaze, but it was too late.
She was annoyed and remorseful.
There is regret and there is also hatred.
Cao Yang got her into a large state-owned enterprise. Although it is not the headquarters of the provincial capital, the income is rich and stable. Enough to make her classmates envious.
But in the evening, she stood in front of the window, looking at the vestibule in the distance... She realized that the world was too far away from her. Her annual salary may only be enough for one of those women's dresses.
Not to mention the diamonds and pearls shining in the light on their necks and wrists.
Those bright lights dazzled her eyes. In comparison, her salary is so meager.
And is she going to live like this forever
At this time, she saw Xia Rou.
She was wearing a decent dress, and when her wrists were shaking, there was also a bright light.
She was nothing more than a mistress' child!
But being a mistress is much better than working nine to five!
At that time, this thought, which had only appeared faintly before, became stronger than ever before.
When the guests were all gone, she wandered over there by some strange coincidence. The venue is already empty, only the wait staff are cleaning up the aftermath.
She wandered into the main building a little disappointed, but saw a waiter helping Cao Yang to go to the bathroom. Her heart suddenly hung up. After quickly chasing after them, they had already entered.
She waited patiently in the corridor, and it took a long time before they came out. Cao Yang was really so drunk that he couldn't walk without anyone helping him.
Her heart was beating fast, and she said, "Why are you so drunk?" She reached out to pick it up.
The waiter didn't know who she was, his job was to serve guests at the banquet, and now it was time to clean up.
He handed the man who was obviously the star of the dinner party to a young girl who seemed to know him well, and left.
He Lili got the opportunity she wanted.
For this opportunity, she did not hesitate to borrow her virgin blood. But really underestimated the man's ruthlessness.
She came to Cao's house when she was very young. She has no father and lives with her mother.
She always felt that Cao Yang had some pity for her.
Later she finally understood that Cao Yang treated her with pity at best.
Cao Yang can only be called pity for Xia Rou.
