âAnyone who didnât know any better would think sheâs the boss, and weâre all dependent on her for a living! You take offense at my language, but why donât you take issue with how she treats others?â@@novelbin@@
Yu Sihua was left speechless by this retort. Of course, she knew her best friendâs temper. In Qin Zhimeiâs eyes, even her big brother, Qin Zhiyou, was an unsuspecting villain, whoâd stolen their motherâs authority. As for Xue Feifei, an obscure actress who had risen to fame through scandalous gossip, Zhimei didnât even regard her as human.
It was normal for Qin Zhimei to talk like this. After all, she would never have a sister-in-law from the entertainment circle. In all likelihood, her brother would marry a woman of equal social standing. As long as Zhimei could pretend to be amicable on the surface, that was enough, right?
âBrother, Zhimei is different from this young lady.â
âWhatâs so different?â Yu Sixing turned around, âIs it because her family background isnât good? Or is it because her acting embarrasses you?â
Yu Sixing had promised not to reveal his relationship with Xue Feifei, but hearing his sisterâs biased and presumptuous comments, he felt annoyed.
âWhen you were dating Huang Qichu, his family situation wasnât great. According to Zhimeiâs reasoning, Huang Qichu is different from us. Heâs just a professorâs son with nothing, even his postgraduate studies were only possible because of a scholarship. Otherwise, he wouldnât have even been able to afford his studies.â
Huang Qichuâs parents were professors, and even his grandparents were from academia. They were a scholarly family. While they did not have significant assets, if Huang had studied in Europe without a full scholarship, the annual fees would have been at least 300,000, adding up to nearly two million in five years. Although it wouldnât have completely prevented him from studying, it wasnât a small sum at all.
âHow can Qichu be compared to her?â
Yu Sihua instantly straightened her back. As the truly wealthy, they indeed looked down upon people from the entertainment industry, regarding them as messy. Even though Xue Feifei was a student at N University, she didnât seem to be doing very well, and her family background surely wasnât as prestigious as Huangâs. Huang Qichu came from a long line of academics, while Feifei paled in comparison.
âWhat makes her so different?â From the side, the silent Huang Qichu finally spoke.
Others might not know, but could he be unaware? Xue Feifei was once middle class too, and if it were not for her fatherâs debts, she could easily be a wealthy young woman. There was no need for her to earn her living through acting; she could have had a better life.
However, her acting skills were good, far better than Xiang Yirouâs.
Yu Sihua was startled, ever since they got married, Huang Qichu had always been docile and gentle towards her, never once disputing her words. But now, his expression was stern, devoid of his usual gentleness. âBeing an actor is also a profession, who are you to look down on it? If you think thereâs a gap between common families like ours and yours, then why did you bother getting together with me in the first place? Arenât you tired of always looking down on others?â
âI didnât mean it like that, I didnâtâ¦.â
She thought she had hurt his pride and hurriedly explained. For a moment, she felt as if she were back to when she first pursued Huang Qichu, his aloofnessâa demeanor that disappeared once theyâd confirmed their relationship, had now reemerged! This time for a woman who had nothing to do with her!
