At night, there was a sumptuous meal on the shabby dining table.

Su Meng bit her lip and sat at the back of the table in fear.

Not only did her aunty not blame her for returning late today, but her aunty even brought her to the dining table. A trace of unease arose in Su Meng's heart spontaneously.

Su Meng's uncle, Su Kanghui, drank a glass of wine, clicked his tongue with satisfaction, and announced the good news.

"Nana passed the interview of the largest Internet company in Pengcheng City today. Mengmeng, from now on, you will follow Nana and take good care of her!"

Su Meng just picked up the chopsticks and gently put them down. She couldn't help but move back with her chair.

"Uncle, I'm going to do my internship tomorrow..."

Su Na raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of disdain. She smashed the chopsticks in her hand angrily.

"What do you mean, Su Meng? You've been living off my family for so many years! What's wrong? Don't you feel grateful at all?"

Su Meng lowered her head and did not dare to refute.

Her aunty looked around at the three people on the table. After clearing her throat twice, she actually spoke up for Su Meng.

"Nana! What are you doing! Mengmeng is your cousin!"

"Mom!"

Su Na said in surprise. She acted like a spoiled child but didn't get any response from Qian Shuangyue, so she turned to Su Kanghui, who was still tasting wine, for help.

Su Kanghui leisurely lit a cigarette as if he had nothing to do with it.

At the dilapidated dining table, no one spoke. The sound of chopsticks touching the plates and bowls was heard. The oppressive atmosphere, coupled with the pungent smell of cigarettes, made Su Meng feel restless.

Her aunty, Qian Shuangyue suddenly chimed in. It was definitely not because of her impulsive kiss in the morning.

During the ten years when she lived in her uncle, Su Kanghui's house, her uncle and aunty had treated her neither well nor badly. After all, after her parents passed away, it was her uncle who helped her pay off debts that her parents left behind.

Therefore, even though she was sleeping in a shabby attic in her uncle's house, wearing old clothes and unable to eat with them on the same table, she had no complaints.

After the meal, Qian Shuangyue put down her bowl and chopsticks and hurriedly pulled Su Kanghui into the master bedroom.

Su Meng was cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks. She could only vaguely hear the sound of the door being locked, and then no other sounds came into her ears.

Qian Shuangyue pulled Su Kanghui aside with vigilance and immediately scolded him in a low voice.

"What are you thinking? How can you let that wicked girl take care of Nana? Think about it carefully! Don't you want the money for Xuanzi to get married?"

Su Kanghui lit a cigarette and shook off Qian Shuangyue's hand impatiently.

"I asked Su Meng to take care of Nana. What does it have to do with Xuanzi's marriage? Don't mess it up!"

"Me? Mess it up?"

Qian Shuangyue threw the apron on the bed and sat down opposite Su Kanghui. She said solemnly,

"What's wrong? Are you going to ask Nana's future husband to pay for the house after Xuanzi gets married? Or can you get back the one million left by your brother? The one million has been lost. Don't you think of any other way?"

Su Kanghui stopped smoking and looked thoughtfully at Qian Shuangyue.

"What do you mean?"

"I've heard about it. Those who can afford to learn art are all from well-off families. What do you think..."

When their eyes met, they immediately understood each other's thoughts.

Su Meng cleaned up the table and was about to leave when she was pulled aside by her aunty, Qian Shuangyue, who handed her a green floral dress.

Seeing that Su Meng had no intention of reaching out her hand, Qian Shuangyue quickly stuffed it into her arms.

"Take it. Take it. This material is very expensive. I'm not even willing to make a dress for Nana!"

Su Meng had seen this material before, and it was indeed not cheap.

Su Na had taken a fancy to a designer dress back then. The five-digit price made Qian Shuangyue give up, so it took her a long time to ask someone to find a similar material.

Qian Shuangyue found the best tailor in the village and customized one for Su Na according to the branded dress.

When Su Na received it, she was ecstatic. However, when she found out that it was a fake, she angrily threw it into the trash can.

Su Meng didn't care about the dress at all. She just wanted to know if her uncle would allow her to go to work.

"Can I start my internship tomorrow, aunty?"

Su Meng asked tentatively, and Qian Shuangyue pretended to be in a dilemma.

"Mengmeng, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. You know, your parents died all of a sudden. Not only did they not leave a penny, but they also left us a pile of debts. Your uncle's money has been paid off for your parents' debts..."

"Don't worry, aunty. I'll work hard to pay back the money our family owes you as soon as possible!"

Su Meng seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and quickly promised, for fear that Qian Shuangyue would go back on her word in the next second.

"Oh, my good girl, we're a family. There's no need to be so polite. I'm glad that you are so grateful! But you know, Nana has been spoiled by me since she was a child..."

What Qian Shuangyue meant was obvious that even a fool would understand. Su Meng could go to work, but she also had to take care of Su Na.

As the saying goes, gifts blind eyes. Su Meng naturally understood it.

"Don't worry, aunty. I'll help Nana do the laundry and clean her house regularly."

"Oh, it's been hard on you! You know, Nana likes to eat takeaway and snacks. You also have to cook for her! I will thank you in advance!"

Su Meng frowned, but she could only agree first.

At five o'clock in the morning, the sun was as gentle as a newborn baby's face, red and lovely.

When Su Meng went to buy groceries this morning, the breakfast stall owner gave her an extra steamed bun, which made Su Meng, who was already in a good mood, even happier.

In order to pocket this steamed bun, Su Meng deliberately took a detour to the park, thinking about eating this steamed bun on the boulevard.

The cicadas were heard everywhere on the boulevard. As the sun rose, the temperature on the surface of the ground rose sharply. Su Meng quickly stuffed the last bite of steamed bun into her mouth.

When she lowered her head, her bicycle accidentally scratched the motorcycle next to her.

Su Meng was slightly stunned for three seconds before she found the owner of the motorcycle sitting on the bench.

"Sorry... I seem to have scratched your motorcycle..."

Seeing that the owner didn't respond for a long time, Su Meng plucked up the courage to remove the hat on the owner's face. That familiar face instantly filled with anger, and his brows furrowed tightly, revealing his dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry..."

His mature outfit was completely different from yesterday. While Su Meng was still considering whether he was a student or not, her whole body was pulled down by an inexplicable gravity, and his handsome face was so close to her.

The faint fragrance of lemon on his body mixed with the smell of alcohol. Su Meng didn't even need to turn her head. She could see his eyelashes from the corner of her eye.

"What's up?"

The man spoke lazily. Su Meng was unhappy and tried her best to break free from his grip.

"Let me go first!"

The man stopped talking. Instead, he tightened his grip on her hand.

Su Meng looked weak on the outside, but she was actually tough.

She bit the man's shoulder. It was not until the man loosened his grip that she let go.

After escaping, Su Meng took out 100 yuan from her pocket. After hesitating for a second, she decided to change it to 50 yuan and slapped the boy hard in the face.

"I'll compensate you!"

Then she kicked away the support of the bicycle and left by bicycle.
