Chapter 123 - 62: Miss Biao’s life is really tough
"I don’t care, it’s really okay, truly okay!" Sang Rou said with hopeful eyes: "Then, how about you just say I’m a maid you bought, and not mention that we’re sisters? Good sister, please do me a favor, help me, will you? Pretty please, good sister!"
Sang Wan couldn’t help feeling angry and scoffed silently. Not mentioning they were sisters? Was that even possible with Sang Rou’s character? She would claim not to tell anyone, but she would certainly disclose it in secret! And once exposed, she would undoubtedly feign ignorance!
"Absolutely not!" Sang Wan’s gaze shifted slightly, her expression turning a bit colder as she said indifferently: "What would people think if this got out? Wouldn’t they say Sang Wan is heartless and despises her own sister! I cannot shoulder such a reputation! It’s better if cousin sister doesn’t mention this!"
Sang Rou felt utterly disappointed, but not giving up, she said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I was shortsighted, I was shortsighted! Please don’t be mad, Sister Wan! Then how about this, the Shi family owns so many properties, right? Could you introduce me to a place that needs female labor? I promise to work diligently and not bring up our connection at all!" As she spoke, she begged earnestly, "Good sister, I just want to earn my own living! Really! I won’t disgrace you, I swear!"
Enough already! Sang Wan felt impatient and tried to dismiss the idea: "I don’t understand business matters, and I wouldn’t know if there’s a place suitable for my cousin sister. Besides, would your second uncle and second aunt agree? After all, they are your parents!"
This sentence completely shattered the last sliver of hope in Sang Rou’s heart! Indeed, as long as her father and "mother" were involved, whatever she wanted to achieve would be impossible!
Her father was only interested in money, and luring him with that might give her a chance to deceive him into agreement, but as for that "mother"—she knew she never had a chance to fool her!
"You damned girl, where did you run off to! Get back here and cook for me! All this housework waiting to be done and you still have the leisure to gossip! Expect me to wait on you, do you! The moment I turn my back, you’re gone; are you in heat or what!"
Mrs. Li’s shrill and vulgar scolding echoed throughout the courtyard, and the sound of her angry, stormy footsteps followed.
