Su Beicheng used this method to coax me again. Alas, he understands me more and more.

I immediately held back my tears and asked him, still with a hint of tears in my voice, "Then can I make three conditions?"

Su Beicheng: "..."

I looked at him with wet eyes. Su Beicheng looked like he couldn't do anything to me. His slightly cool fingertips touched my forehead: "You are still so greedy."

I immediately turned my face away and sulked.

"Okay, I'll agree to your three conditions." Su Beicheng finally compromised.

I was secretly proud of myself. I asked for the conditions first so that I could think carefully before making any proposals later. I was really smart.

"However, these three conditions do not include you leaving or breaking up." Su Beicheng has also become smart and will not let me do what I want.

I looked at him with charming eyes: "Mayor Su must not know his own value. As long as I can stay by your side, I am not stupid enough to leave you."

"Then why were you so cruel last time? So determined?" Su Beicheng gritted his teeth secretly, as if he wanted to settle an old score with me.

"Want to hear the truth?"

Su Beicheng crossed his arms over his chest, with an expression that said if anyone dared to cheat him, just give it a try.

I sighed softly, lowered my eyes, and said in a sad voice, "Of course I'm afraid that after I give my heart to you, it will be discarded. I'm a bit proud in my bones. Instead of waiting to be kicked by you, I might as well be decisive and kick you out first. At least I can still retain some self-respect."

Su Beicheng: "..."

Anger welled up in his eyes.

"Just because you are afraid of being abandoned, you are determined to break up?" Su Beicheng must be speechless.

I nodded seriously and sniffed, "What if I lose everything, both physically and mentally?"

Seeing that I didn't seem to be joking, Su Beicheng could only sigh and said in a gentle tone: "Don't worry, I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have run off to marry someone midway and made you feel insecure."

"I'm glad you know." I snorted.

Su Beicheng reached out and gently hugged me from behind: "In a few days, my mother will come over here to attend a meeting. I'll introduce you to her, okay?"

I shuddered, looking at him in panic and self-abasement: "Or... let's not meet each other. Didn't you say we should wait until you're settled here? You've only been transferred for less than three months."

"We can get to know each other first." Su Beicheng said thoughtfully.

"I'm afraid she won't like me." I said darkly.

"We haven't even met, why are you imagining all that?" Su Beicheng smiled and comforted me: "Don't worry, my mother is just a little serious, but she is a really good person."

I know Su Beicheng is telling the truth, but he is her precious son. As a mother, she gave the best thing in this life to Su Beicheng. Can Su Beicheng say anything bad about him?

I'm different. If I really marry into the family, I'll be going to steal things.

To seize the Su family's property, to seize Su Beicheng's favor, to seize the position of a mistress...

"Let's talk about it later. I have to go to school. Today, I'm taking the team on an outing." I said softly.

"Are you a tour guide?" Su Beicheng asked.

I immediately replied, "No, it's just that the teacher asked me to take a group of foreign students on a tour to practice my spoken English."

Su Beicheng smiled and said, "It's only been a short time, and you can already communicate with people in English."

I nodded: "Yeah, I didn't expect that I actually have a talent for learning."

Su Beicheng and I didn't have breakfast and left home separately.

I was on my way to school in a taxi when I suddenly received a call.

It was the phone number of my home landline, and my brows furrowed.

Because of some bad things that happened in the past, I rarely call home on my own initiative and just send money back every month.

Could it be that my family is asking me for money again?

"Hello, Mom..." I said in my hometown dialect.

My mom immediately asked me over the phone in surprise, "Jingjing, your sister said you're famous online, is that true? Your photos have been commented on by many people."

I was stunned. Could it be the video of me being beaten last time?

But then I thought about it and it didn’t make sense. It might be because it was my first time entering art school, and the photos Wu Nan had someone take were seen by my sister on the Internet.

"Mom, is there something wrong?" I asked.

"Jingjing, are you going back to school now? Why didn't you discuss such a big thing with your family? You are such a rebellious child." My mother scolded me angrily on the other end.

I had no choice but to stop hiding it from her and whispered, "Yes, I wanted to improve my academic qualifications, so I asked a friend for help and went back to school."

"Your friend is really capable. By the way, your sister said that she also wants to go to your school. Can you ask your friend for another favor?" My mother said as if it was as simple as treating someone to a meal. I was speechless for a moment.

Then I remembered that my sister didn't even get into the worst high school in this junior high school entrance examination. She said before that she wanted to work and earn money, but I scolded her.

Now it seems she has other ideas.

"Mom, I can pay for her to go to the technical secondary school at home. Don't let her come to Shanghai. The cost of living here is high, and she has no education, so it will be difficult for her to find a job." I immediately stopped my mother's decision. Anyway, I was willing to pay for my sister to go to school.

Just then, the phone was snatched away by my sister.

"Sister, I'll just live and eat with you. It won't cost much. Why don't you let me go?"

"I also want to see the scenery of a big city. If you can make it, I don't believe I can't."

My mother grabbed the phone and continued, "That's right, don't underestimate your sister. She's more flexible than you. Besides having a better figure and a prettier face than her, you're not as capable as her in terms of personality."

I had a bad feeling in my heart.

My sister snatched the phone away and said, "Sister, I don't care if you call me or not. I've already bought a ticket for tomorrow afternoon. It took me more than ten hours to get here. If you don't care about my life or death, don't come to the station to pick me up."

My mother knew I was making money now, so her attitude became much better. She grabbed the phone and said, "Jingjing, Xiaowei's train ticket is for 3:00 PM tomorrow, and she won't arrive in Shanghai until 4:00 AM. You can't just ignore her. She's only 16 or 17 years old. If you don't come to pick her up, it would be terrible if she gets targeted by bad guys."

I was so angry that my chest burst.

They treated me like this without even consulting me?

"You're forcing me to accept this, right?" My voice instantly turned cold. "Didn't you say she's more capable than me? What are you worried about?"

When my mother heard my unkind voice, she suddenly panicked: "Jingjing, don't be angry. Xiaowei is your sister. You won't really ignore her, will you?"

Yin Xiaowei snorted on the other end: "Mom, I don't want her to control me. She is only five years older than me. She has no right to control me."

But my mother still said to me in a flattering way: "Jingjing, as the eldest sister, you have to take care of your younger brothers and sisters at home. They are the closest people to you in this world."

I almost laughed, I thought it was ridiculous.

They never gave me love, but told me that family members need care.

"Mom, if you really think you are family, then please transfer 5,000 to me. I am still short of money for renting a house." I immediately treated them the way they treated me.

"What? Five thousand? You're trying to kill me." My mother said in a sharp voice.

Yin Xiaowei grabbed the phone angrily: "Yin Jingjing, how can you talk to Mom like that? You're going too far. You don't care about me, and I didn't say I have to. Wait and see, if you don't answer the phone, I won't die."

After saying that, the phone was hung up harshly.

Facing those vague sounds, my heart seemed lost.

I looked at the bottle opener outside the window and felt extremely bitter. If I refused their request, they would use the excuse of filial piety to morally blackmail me.
