Chapter 454: Isn’t It Just Endurance?
Today is Shi Jiaojiao’s first day working at TK, and it’s also the most difficult and exhausting day since her mother brought her back to the Shi Family.
The person guiding her is a woman around thirty-something, with slightly dark skin and a somewhat plump figure. She doesn’t know her real name but hears others call her: Sister Xiang!
From the first glance, Shi Jiaojiao felt that this person was not easy to get along with, and sure enough, for the next half-day, Sister Xiang ordered her around like a servant.
She is the dignified Miss Shi; how can she endure such treatment? If not for her mother and father repeatedly instructing her before she came, she wouldn’t have endured even half a day.
At around ten in the morning, she called her mother, saying she couldn’t stand it at TK Group, and mentioned that it must be Shi Nuan making Song Yansheng deliberately torture her. If she stayed at TK any longer, she’d really go crazy.
After all, Li Guirong did feel some heartache for her own daughter, but she also knew she couldn’t let her daughter be willful at this time. Right now, her husband was in a bad mood, and she couldn’t do anything about it.
She comforted, "Jiaojiao, just hang in there for now. I’ll talk to your father when I get the chance, then you can come back. Now is not the time!"
"But Mom, are you just going to watch Shi Nuan torment me like this?"
Li Guirong gritted her teeth and said, "Just a few days, you... endure it for now!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone, and to avoid her daughter calling again, she directly turned off her phone.
Shi Jiaojiao felt even angrier when she saw her mother wouldn’t care for her. She really wanted to just throw up her sleeves and leave.
But she knew she couldn’t do that; before coming, her parents had laid down harsh words that if she left on her own will, she should never think about coming back to that home.
It was then that her phone rang. She glanced at it, slightly dazed, because the caller was actually Shen Zui.
It had been several days since Shen Zui last contacted her. She thought he wouldn’t reach out to her again.
Unexpectedly, she contacted her again!
Although the last meeting wasn’t very pleasant, and she even got slapped, she didn’t mind the grievance as long as she could see Shen Zui.
Loving someone who doesn’t love you back naturally puts you in a humble position, but she’s already fallen in love; what can you do?
Shen Zui didn’t say much on the phone, just one sentence, asking to meet her at noon.
Shi Jiaojiao eagerly agreed.
Because of Shen Zui’s call, Shi Jiaojiao’s mood improved significantly, and her earlier unpleasant emotions faded a bit.
Isn’t it just enduring? If Shi Nuan can do it, so can she!
And as long as Song Yansheng sees those photos, Shi Nuan’s good days will be over.
It won’t be long, yes, it won’t be long!
...
At 11:40 noon, the lunch break began, and Shi Jiaojiao hurriedly grabbed her purse and went to the restroom to touch up her makeup.
After confirming her makeup was intact, she then came out of the restroom.
Unexpectedly, just as she came out, she ran into that Sister Xiang.
Sister Xiang gave her a once-over and simply said coolly, "Lunch break is an hour and a half, don’t be late!"
After saying that, she walked past Shi Jiaojiao and entered the restroom.
Shi Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and managed to hold it in. She was going to see Shen Zui now; after that, who knows if she’d be coming back!
Shen Zui arranged to meet at a western restaurant, which delighted Shi Jiaojiao. She liked the elegance and nobility of western food, which matched her temperament well.
In fact, before joining the Shi Family, Shi Jiaojiao was always fostered by Li Guirong in the countryside. Even after ten years of living in luxury, there were still many things in her bones that couldn’t change.
