Chen Yichen turned and glanced at Yun Xi. He asked softly, “Are you in a bad mood?”
“No, I just feel a little embarra.s.sed.”
With such a group of relatives dragging her down, she knew that even though they disgusted her, she had to endure it.
Being born into such a family had obviously not been her choice, but she could choose how she wanted to live in the future.
“Don’t feel ashamed. I couldn’t care less about these things.”
Chen Yichen chuckled lightly, turned the steering wheel, and headed in the other direction.
“Actually, when you get into my position, you find that many things are not as important as you once thought.”
“That’s because you’ve already gotten what you wanted. For the have-nots, these things are what motivates them to work hard and are even their reasons for living.
“Getting something that you want means having to make sacrifices, especially if you want to get something that doesn’t necessarily belong to you. The effort you put in would be hundreds of times more than that of ordinary people.”
Chen Yichen raised his hand and touched Yun Xi’s head. Then, he said with a smile, “Girl, find what suits you the best. Once things become obsessions, they will eventually become your inner demons.”
“…” Yun Xi glanced at him, but didn’t answer.
Chen Yichen was right. Her mother had been doing everything she could to squeeze Yun Ziling into upper-cla.s.s society, no matter how shameless the methods.
In Yun Xi’s last life, her mother had even ruined her face and forced her to compromise.
She had never been kind to her eldest daughter.
However, for some things, once they became demons, they also became weaknesses.
After her rebirth, hadn’t dealing with her family been a piece of cake?
…
Old Madame Chen had said that she was inviting her to dinner. What she really had done was to invite her to the most upscale restaurant in Jingdu.
Standing at the entrance of Jinding, Yun Xi gazed at the sign with its golden brush writing and felt as if she were in a daze.
When she had come here in her last life, it had been during her coming-of-age ceremony, and Mr. Jiang had brought her here.
His purpose had been to spark a romance between her and Jiang Henglin.
