Chapter 1

As a fresh graduate, Olivia was running around in the hot sun every day for looking for a job. Fortunately, she was born with snow-white skin, otherwise, she would have been tanned in a week.

She sat at the bus stop, the seat was baked by the hot sun, like the Japanese-style teppanyaki, burning her buttocks, finally, she had to go to the nearby newsstand to buy a bottle of Iced Black Tea and waited for the arrival of the bus.

For people like her, a $1 bus ride was the most cost-effective enjoyment of this summer. The air-conditioning in the bus made the sweaty skin dry and comfortable. But now people could just swipe the cards to take the bus. Otherwise, she really wanted to apply for a bus conductor.

Looking at the bustling city, Olivia felt for the first time that the future was dark.

It was not that fresh graduates were unable to find a job, but with her ordinary bachelor's degree, it was very difficult to find a better job. Actually, she was not happy with the job she can choose. Her grandma often said that she had high requirements and low skills. That was right.

Olivia's grandfather was a nouveau riche. When she was young, she lived a comfortable life for several years. She was taken to school by the driver every day, and there were endless beautiful skirts in the wardrobe, but such a good time did not last long. When she was ten years old, her grandfather was tricked into gambling and lost all his property. In the end, there was only a small building left in the village. This kind of house was built by the local tycoons at that time, without a property certificate.

They all lived with their own families, and now the family's six-story building was rented to people working in this city.

However, as for Olivia, in the whole family, only she and her grandmother were normal. Her father intimated others and ran a business, but was heavily in debt in the end. Every month's rent was used to pay his debts. Her mother wanted this building and wanted to split half of it after the divorce. Originally, her mother and her father were getting divorced. Well, big news came a few days later, the two people swept away all the money. Since Olivia was 15 years old, she has never seen his parents again.

Some people said that they are dead, others said that they had gone out of town and did not want to come back.

Although it was cruel to think so, in Olivia's view, the departure of her parents made her and her grandmother feel more relieved at the same time.

Her grandma said that in two years at the most, her grandfather and her father would be able to pay off the money her father owed, and then they would be able to live a good life. After all, the rent of a building alone would be enough for them to live a very chic life.

With such expectations, Olivia and her grandma could face the future positively every day.

Listening to a couple quarreling over rising rents, Olivia suddenly felt that the future was bright again. At least, she and her grandmother had a building.

However, although she was a person with high vision and low skills, she did not want to live idly by the rent. She has been studying for so many years, for what?

Of course, it was for finding a good job, becoming a white-collar worker, and repaying her grandma.

After thinking for a long time, Olivia finally replied to an e-mail from a foreign trade company not far from the village in the city.

Although she was only an office clerk and her salary was not very high, it was quite fair. After all, in this era, there were too few jobs close to home with more money and less work.

‘Take your time, Oli.’

Olivia was a standard beauty. Before her grandfather was rich, her family was very poor. Why was her mother willing to marry her father?

To put it bluntly, her mother was obsessive with good-looking people.

Her father was very handsome, more handsome than many popular artists of that time. Many people said that she indeed looked like her father. She has been beautiful and lovely since she was a child, and she was recognized as the best-looking girl in her living area.

When she was a child, a famous blind fortune-teller in the neighborhood told her fortune, saying that she would be mind-bogglingly rich, which made her grandfather so happy, but it was of no use. Fortune-tellers were all deceiving people. What kind of rich could a person like her be?

Think that if you are beautiful, you can catch the rich second generation?

Don't be ridiculous, there was no chance for her to know the rich second generation, let alone the rich second generation, not even a nouveau riche.

Oli sighed when she got out of the car.

There was no responsible property management in the village, so the community was not as clean as the regular one and the building was incomparably cramped next to the building.

"Oli is back?"

This was her grandmother's friend, Grandma Jones, who has recently devoted herself to introducing her to her grandson.

Olivia stopped, took the key from the bag, and smiled at Grandma Jones. "Yeah, just finished the interview."

"How is it going?"

Granny Jones paid much attention to Olivia a long time ago. Not only she, but the middle-aged women and the old ladies in this area all wanted to take Olivia home to be their sons’ or grandsons’ wives.

The reason was very realistic, she was the only granddaughter in her family, and this building would be hers in the future, not to mention that she was beautiful, and she was also an undergraduate student, and everyone knew it. For a while, Olivia became popular in the community.

"Quite good."

Olivia opened the door on the first floor and said, "just a foreign trade company in Shining Building."

Granny Jones felt that Olivia was now a white-collar worker and immediately became more satisfied with her.

She leaned over and stopped Oli from letting her go upstairs. "Oli, you are really promising, but have you thought about what I said last time? You and my grandson Tim grew up together. I believe that you are well-matched. Although Tim did not go to college, now he is running a business, he can earn $2,000 to $4,000 a month. "

"…"

Olivia paused and smiled. "Well, I often chat with Tim on W******p. You see, since I was in college, we haven't had contact for several years. I think we should get in touch first. By the way, Grandma Jones, I think Carrefour is doing sales promotion…"

Before she had finished her words, Grandma Jones took her small bag and left.

Tim was really chasing her.

In fact, Olivia also thought that Tim was very good, and it didn't matter whether he got an undergraduate degree. What matters was his character and her feeling. Although Tim was good at everything, she just didn't have that kind of palpitating feeling towards him.

It was estimated that they used to be too familiar, which quite affected the development of the relationship.

This building was divided into six floors and a basement.

There were single rooms, one-bedroom rooms, few two-bedroom rooms. Olivia and his grandmother lived in one two-bedroom room, on the third floor.

It was said that it had two rooms and one living room, but after all, it was in the same building, so it would not be too big just less than 50 square meters.

Because it was a self-built house and was in a village with a mixed population, the rent was very cheap compared with the urban area. The ordinary single room was less than $200, and the basement was even cheaper, $100 a month.

Over the years, it was not that no one had thought of buying this building. Although some documents were not available, the house price was soaring, every inch of land in the urban area was rich. As long as the building was sold, they would pay off their debts, and even have a lot of money on their hands to lead a better life. However, Olivia, who was only 18 years old at that time, firmly refused. Although she was only 18 years old, she knew very well that real estate was far more valuable than money.

Fortunately, her grandma also listened to her and did not want to move out of the home where she had lived for more than ten years, so they now relied on the rent, and their days would not be any worse in the future.

As soon as Olivia entered the house, she heard Grandma's voice coming from the kitchen. "There is sour plum soup in the fridge. Drink when you are thirsty."

"Copy that!"

The furniture was from more than ten years ago, and she was much more comfortable when she sat on the mahogany sofa and blew into the fan.

The city was always very muggy in summer.

Grandma came out of the kitchen with a plate of cut watermelons in her hands and said to Rob, "Oli, I have something to discuss with you."

Granny was a very traditional woman. In the past, when her husband was around, she listened to her husband, and later to her son. Now that her husband and son were gone, she listened to her granddaughter.

She only studied in primary school, but her granddaughter was a college graduate. She must be smarter than her.

With this state of mind, Grandma has listened to her granddaughter since Oli went to high school.

"What's the matter?"

Olivia asked casually, staring at the TV.

" Miss Smith in Room 202, it is not very convenient for her to move now. when she gives birth to a baby, there is no one there to help her, so she said that she asked me to cook her three meals, in addition to the rent, she will give me $400 a month of living expenses, and when her baby is born, I will take care of her later and she will give me $800 a month."

Olivia went to collect the rent several times and was no stranger to Miss Smith in Room 202.

She was petite, delicate, and gentle, but she was an unmarried mother.

When she first rented the house, Miss Simth was about four months pregnant, and now a few months have passed, she was going to give birth in only one or two months.

Even if there were old ladies around here who were gossiping about this unmarried mother, Oli and her grandma never asked and never talked to each other, so Miss Smith got along well with them.

Olivia knew that Grandma was very kind, and she did her best to these tenants.

"Sounds good, nana."

Olivia agreed, "Miss Smith is also very helpless, we are also neighbors, it is right to help, and I have to go to work soon, so it would be nice for another person to chat with you."

Although Olivia had a lot of shortcomings, she owned the rarest kindness under the education of her grandmother.

In the evening, Olivia had a dream.

She dreamed of a novel she had never read, and she watched the whole story as a bystander.

The story was like this, the man was the president of Ray's Group, the woman was his secretary, the woman unilaterally loved the man, but the man had no feelings for the woman, and the two just had a relationship in bed. One day, the man's mother found the woman and gave her a 5 million check to tell her to leave the man. At this time, the woman was pregnant, and the man was going to engage another woman. When the woman was discouraged, she accepted the check from the man's mother.

After the heroine completely left and disappeared, the male master slowly realized that he had already fallen in love with her. He looked for her everywhere, but could not find her.

One day two years later, the woman's baby had a disease. All in all, she needed the man. The woman had no choice but to contact the man to save the baby.

Finally, after a period of struggle, the three members of the family were reunited, and the ending was very satisfactory.

When Olivia woke up, she looked at the ceiling with a bewildered look on her face.

After watching for such a long time, who can tell her why the heroine with the big belly was Miss Smith in Room 202?

‘What on earth is this operation?’
