During the class break, Zhao Dan walked to the elite class and called out to Yun Xi.
“I know you’re doing this to help me, but why are you letting people spread false rumors? What’s the use of you spreading rumors that my parents are helpers at a clothing store? Aren’t their real identities still trash pickers? I reckon that sooner or later, someone will expose them.”
When Zhao Dan said this, a hint of fear appeared in her eyes.
“Who said that I was lying?”
Yun Xi crossed her arms over her chest and asked in return.
“Then tell me, is what you said true?”
Zhao Dan questioned. Her eyes were fixed on Yun Xi as if she was trying to find an answer from Yun Xi’s eyes.
She did not know why, but she trusted the woman standing in front of her very much. Although it was a rhetorical question, it was more like a statement. Zhao Dan could not wait to know what had happened.
“When I was a guest at your house yesterday, I happened to see your mother embroidering a handkerchief. I looked at the patterns on it carefully, and each of them is very exquisite and very creative.”
Yun Xi said slowly.
“Yes, this is also the only thing my mother can do for the family. My father relied on picking up trash to support the family. However, my mother’s chronic illness made her home-bound. Sometimes, the family’s finances could not make ends meet. My mother’s heart ached for my father, but she could not help much. She could only embroider a few handkerchiefs to sell when her spirits were slightly higher. She could earn at least a little bit.”
After saying that, Zhao Dan gave a bitter smile.
“However, you can’t say that my family members are helpers of a garment shop just because my mother can embroider a few handkerchiefs.”
“Indeed, but if you are hired by a garment shop because of this skill, then aren’t you a helper of a garment shop?”
What?
Hired by a garment shop?!
“I know the owner of a garment shop, and coincidentally, their shop needs to recruit embroiderers. I saw that your mother’s handwork was very good, so I introduced this job to your mother. This job is very easy, and you don’t have to be busy in the ready-made clothing store all the time. It’s just right for your mother.”
“It just so happened that the store also lacked a butler who would be in charge of transporting the incoming goods. Since your father didn’t have any other stable job, if he takes this position, he could be a companion for your mother. The owner of the ready-made clothing shop took a fancy to your father’s great strength and decided to hire your parents at that time.”
Yun Xi said a lot of words in one breath, and for a moment, she felt that her mouth was still a little dry.
“Really?”
What happened in front of her was like a pie falling from the sky, making Zhao Dan unable to believe it.
“Why do you have so many connections with people? You’re just a high school student, right? Are you perhaps a swindler?”
Still not believing that such good luck would befall her, Zhao Dan started her interrogation.
“Since you’re thoughtful and considerate to your parents. I might as well tell you a little secret.”
Yun Xi’s head slowly moved closer to Zhao Dan’s ear.
“Actually, the owner of this ready-made clothing store is none other than my classmate Jing Yu. So don’t worry, the jobs that I introduced to your parents are definitely reliable.”
Zhao Dan’s gaze passed through the elite class classroom and stopped on Jing Yu.
He was a very handsome high school student, but he still looked very immature.
“Him?”
There was still doubt in Zhao Dan’s tone.
“Don’t look at him as a high school student who looks young. He’s actually already very mature. Have you heard of Jing Family Medicine Shop? That’s his family’s business. With such a large medicine shop supporting him, are you afraid that their newly opened ready-to-wear shop is a scam?”
Yun Xi tried her best to portray Jing Yu as a perfect character.
Zhao Dan’s gaze once again fell on Jing Yu. At this moment, a ray of sunlight shone on the young man’s head, refracting a brilliant light.
Zhao Dan was so attracted by this scene that she could not look away. Perhaps it was the effect of Yun Xi’s high praise for Jing Yu, but Zhao Dan became deeply infatuated with this man.
The bell for class rang very quickly. Zhao Dan reluctantly retracted her gaze and ran to her classroom.
However, this relationship was destined to end in vain.
As expected, one should not fall in love too early. It would be a lifelong mistake.
