    Chapter Index

    At the dining table, Xiaoji was pinned down on a chair by her mother. She was completely stiff. The environment here was incompatible with the environment she was familiar with. It looked ordinary. The antique decoration around it inexplicably gave off a sense of value, which made her feel cramped and nervous.

    Her mother sat next to her, with an excited look on her face, “Xiaoji, boss Liu will be here soon, you have to be smart, don’t be like at home, you can’t do anything. Boss Liu is a very rich man, and in this restaurant, I heard that a meal costs several thousand, and most people can’t book a table even if they are willing to spend money. Boss Liu doesn’t care, he just treats you when he says he’s going to treat you.”

    Xiao Ji sat on the edge of the chair with only half of her butt, her head almost stuck under the table, her hands mechanically twisting the hem of her old T-shirt that was already a little out of shape, her head lowered and silent.

    When her father saw her half-dead look, he got angry and banged the huge dining table, “Your mother was talking to you, didn’t you hear? We brought you here not for your own good? You don’t know what the conditions of our family are like? We worked hard to support you in school, and gave you all the delicious food at home first. Your brother can only eat the leftovers from you. What else are you dissatisfied with?”

    “Why are you shouting and scaring the child?” Her mother patted Xiao Ji’s back to comfort her, but unfortunately such movements only made her body tense up. “Think about it, can your parents harm you? Boss Liu is young and promising. What kind of beauty can’t be found? ButDoesn’t he just like you?Listen to Mom, no matter how good you are in school, you will have to find a job after graduation and work for others from dawn to dusk. But as long as you follow Boss Liu, you will be a rich wife, and there is no need to go to work to look at other people’s faces?”

    Xiaoji felt the warmth of her mother’s palm from behind, slowly relaxed, and said in a very low voice, “Mom, I… understand.”

    “Oh, this is your mother’s good boy.” Her mother patted her back gently and gave her man a proud look. Her father smiled and was about to say something more when the door of the box was pushed open and heavy footsteps sounded from far to near.

    As soon as she heard the footsteps, Xiao Ji involuntarily tensed up her muscles. She heard her parents stand up quickly, laughing and going to greet that person. Their words were flattering and enthusiastic like she had never seen before. Then she heard a somewhat vague sentence, “Just come, everyone, please sit down.”

    His voice did not sound young. Xiao Ji raised her head in surprise and looked at the man who had just sat down opposite.

    Boss Liu, who her mother said was young and promising, looked to be in his forties. He only had a few solitary hairs on the top of his head, but these hairs were quite long. They were combed from the left side of his head to the right side. They were fixed by hairspray into a few black parallel lines, reflecting the oily shine on the scalp below, making them look quite shiny.

    But no matter how bright those few hairs were, they couldn’t illuminate his gloomy face. His small eyes, big nose, and big mouth seemed to be trying their best to gain territory on his face. He refused to obey anyone. Every organ was stretched out. Probably in order to accommodate these wanton facial features, Boss Liu could only grow a big face, and his face plate was almost twice as big as her father’s.

    He felt Xiao Ji’s gaze, and his very mini eyes turned towards her, showing his big yellow teeth, and he smiled with what he thought was a graceful manner: “Hello, we finally meet.”

    Well, Xiao Ji heard this clearly. Boss Liu is a big talker.
