Chapter 354 Annoying Things


    Hannah didn''t try to hide her feelings. So it was easy for Angelina to read them.


    It was obvious that she wanted Angelina to get married to a rich man that could help them have a


    better life.


    Hannah had thought of this ever since Angelina grew up to be a beautifuldy. She started blooming a


    few years ago.


    She prioritized marrying rich over anything else but Angelina strived to study hard and get good grades.


    Angelina persuaded them to let her pursue higher education with the promise of earning more.


    Upon hearing this, Angelina said impatiently, "Mother, I''ve already told you that we''re just regr, old


    friends! Will you just let it go? Because it''s never going to happen. Do you think that I''m that type of girl


    that every man will fall head over heels in love with? There are so many more beautiful women out


    there."


    This was the first time that Angelina had said so much to her family and her tone was dripping with


    sarcasm.


    Angelina just wanted Hannah to let it go. That was why she had spoken so much.


    Surprisingly, Hannah suddenly stood up and raised her voice. "Well, now I see why you don''t want to


    come home. It looks like you''ve been busy with other people. You look down upon us, don''t you?


    Are you sure that you''re just being friends? A regr friend wouldn''t drive you back sote. Plus he


    drove you back. Do you think that I''m just some three-year old child that can be fooled easily?" Hannah


    shouted angrily.


    Jacob chimed in, "Angelina, are you that rich person''s mistress?"


    Although he spoke in a low voice, everyone in the living room could still hear what he had said since


    the living room was so small.


    The more Jacob thought about it, the more likely he thought that it was true. ''Otherwise, why would


    Angelina insist that they were just friends?'' he thought to himself.


    He knew a little about the situation of being a mistress. A mistress was simr to a secret lover. They


    couldn''t reveal their rtionships with their respective lovers.


    Angelina''s face turned gloomy. ''Why are they so selfish and greedy? Can''t they just want what''s best


    for me?


    Being a mistress? If I were a mistress, it would be bad for the reputation of the Li family if the public


    finds out.


    Is money all they care about? Shouldn''t reputation be important to them too?'' thought Angelina.


    When Hannah saw the look on Angelina''s face, she started to consider that Jacob might be right. It


    didn''t help that Angelina didn''t try to deny it either. She posed, "Is Jacob right? Are you the mistress of


    a rich man?"


    Angelina felt hopeless upon hearing this. She didn''t want to exin anything anymore. "What if it''s


    true? What if it''s not true? It doesn''t matter because either way you''re not going to listen to me so I


    don''t care what you say." After which, Angelina promptly turned and left the living room.


    "How dare you talk to me like that? We raised you and now that you have other people with you, you


    have the nerve to talk to me like that. How can you be so ungrateful?"


    Hannah was irked when she saw Angelina leave for her room.


    "Jacob, do you really think Angelina''s the mistress of a rich man?" Hannah asked with much


    uncertainty as she looked at Jacob.


    Jacob frowned. Then he said casually, "How should I know? But I don''t think there''s any other


    exnation. I really did see her get out of that expensive car."


    As Jacob thought of the luxurious car, he couldn''t help but be excited.


    ''There''s nothing else I love more than luxurious cars, grand vis, and an endless amount of money.


    I used to only see those kinds of cars on the inte. I didn''t expect I would ever get to see one in real


    life!


    Angelina even got to sit inside it!'' he thought.


    "Yeah, Angelina''s most likely the mistress of a rich man. We need to take advantage of this. This is a


    good opportunity for us," Hannah said.


    The rest of the family grew excited as they thought of how their lives were going to be better once they


    had taken advantage of Angelina. Meanwhile, Ashley wasn''t in the same boat as them.


    It was the weekend so Ashley didn''t have work. While Amaia had originally wanted to ask Ashley to go


    shopping with her, she couldn''t as she had something else to do. Thus Ashley was left home alone on


    a weekend.


    Ashley was sitting alone in the sofa, holding a pillow in her hand, and eating a bag of potato chips.


    A hot soap opera was showing on TV. While Ashley was seemingly watching, her mind was off


    somewhere else—particrly, she was thinking about Andrew.


    Andrew hadn''te back for a week. He still hadn''t called Ashley either. This was the longest they


    hadn''t talked since they got married.


    Ashley wasn''t worried at first but as the days passed, she started to be more irritable.


    ''Is he really tired of me like what Lena said?


    Is he not interested in me anymore? Is he choosing Lesley now that she''s back?


    After all, this is not the first time that I''ve heard that the Lu family and the Feng family have arranged


    marriages. Andrew and Lesley grew up together so it wouldn''t be a surprise if they end up falling in


    love with one another.


    In addition to that, Lesley is the firstdy in J City.


    Lesley and Andrew practically grew up together. They''re a match made in heaven, ''


    Ashley thought, feeling upset.


    As she stared off into nothing, she tightly embraced her pillow.


    Sitting on the table in front of her was a steaming bowl of congee. However, Ashley seemed to be way


    too deep in her own thoughts to notice it.


    Suddenly, Ashley stood up. The pillow on herp fell on the bowl on the table.


    Bang! The bowl fell to the ground.


    "Ah!" Ashley cried out.


    Thankfully, there was a nket on the floor that cushioned the bowl''s fall. Still, it was broken.


    The congee had spilled all over the floor. Luckily, Ashley was wearing pajamas or she could have been


    burned.


    Still, some congee had sshed on Ashley''s feet which made her jump. She took a few steps back.


    Some parts of her feet were now red and swollen.


    Upon hearing the noise, ire quickly dropped what she was doing and ran out of the kitchen to check


    on Ashley.


    "Miss Mu, what happened?" ire asked.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    When she saw the congee on the floor, she then said, "Are you okay? Miss Mu, were you hurt? I''ll get


    you some medicine right away."


    Ashley hadn''t eaten that day so ire decided to cook congee for her. She hoped that Ashley would


    eat it but she didn''t expect that it would spill on the floor.
