"By the way, who is your classmate's brother? I saw that quite a few people visited your Moments."
Haitong was still immersed in the feeling of being abandoned and couldn't extricate herself, feeling a tightness in her chest.
"He seems to be the president of an overseas investment association, and he owns a lot of businesses."
"I'm afraid there's more to it than that?" Hai Mu thought thoughtfully, "I saw a photo in your circle of friends that also showed someone from the Wen family. The eldest daughter of the Wen family has been a good friend of your Aunt Ye for many years. She didn't go to the Ye family's birthday party and came here. Your classmate's brother is definitely not just the president of an investment association..."
Haitong was simple-minded and didn't think too much. She shook off her mother's hand and said angrily, "I don't know."
"Oh, it's okay if you don't know. I was just saying it casually." Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Hai Mu quickly stopped talking.
Then she grabbed her hands and pulled her in front of her, face to face, and said to her solemnly: "Your grandmother is old and confused, and she is unwilling to help us. You can only rely on yourself now. So you have to seize this opportunity with your classmate, understand?"
Haitong was preoccupied with something and answered absentmindedly, "Yeah."
Hai Mu continued, "Hey, without your grandma, it will be more difficult for us to survive in Beijing. I don't know if your dad's business will be affected. If your grandma takes back all the things your dad is in charge of, I'm afraid our family will be expelled from the circle..."
Haitong felt more and more upset after listening to this.
Her family conditions were not the best since she was a child, but thanks to the connections of the Ye family, the circles she was exposed to were always the best.
While Zhang Yang was still looking for ways to curry favor with Qin Si, she could freely enter and leave the Ye family's old house and interact with Qin Si and Ye Wangchuan.
Before she went abroad to study, when she met Qin Si, Ye Wangchuan and Bo Jingxing, she would still call them "brother".
Everyone in the Beijing circle knows the relationship between her family and the Ye family. She usually goes out to play with people of her age, regardless of their family background.
She is always the center among the sisters.
Haitong had long been accustomed to this kind of "specialization", but Haimu suddenly told her that everything was gone and they might even fall out of this circle.
How could Haitong accept this
She felt a huge sense of disappointment in her heart, and along with it came a sense of unwillingness to accept the result, unwillingness to give in, and the ambition to replace others.
She initially targeted Qiao Nian because she looked down on her for coming from a small place around the city and trying to get close to her brother, thinking she was a scheming woman.
In addition to this reason, another important reason why she targeted Qiao Nian everywhere later was that Qiao Nian took away the C position that originally belonged to her.
If Qiao Nian could snatch it, why couldn’t she snatch it back
As soon as an idea came into Haitong's mind, it quickly took root and sprouted, growing into a towering tree. The roots pierced her heart, twisting and expanding.
She couldn't hear clearly what her mother said next.
When Hai Mu was about to get up and leave, Hai Tong suddenly grabbed her sleeve, with jealousy flickering in her eyes: "Mom, I remember you knew Aunt Zhao Shu from the Ninth Institute."
The mother was stunned for a moment, and stood still. She turned around and looked at her in confusion: "Why are you asking her?"
Haitong lowered her eyelashes to hide the emotions in her eyes, then raised her head, forced out a sweet smile similar to usual, and shook her hand: "Mom, can you help me ask Aunt Zhao to come out? I want to get to know Jiusuo again."
