Lily found it amusing to sit and watch her mother repeatedly choose the map. It would be lovely to be like this if she only cared about her.
"Do you see what I mean"- Lady Taylor presented her with the red gown. Is the color so prevalent that you wish to incorporate everyone's ideas at the party?
"Or take that blue one, Mom!" - Lily pointed to the blue shirt in the glass cabinet. She didn't think it was very attractive, but it was the most prominent piece of furniture in the room.
"Lily, choose the which also be if you like! Should we stay for another round?"- Lady Taylor sadly pulled her red cloak. She wanted her daughter to be noticed among the city ladies. But she doesn't appear very enthused about it, and it's difficult for her to keep the conversation going.
" Ignore it, everything is fine!"- Lily hurriedly took the dress in her hand after seeing her mother's astonishment. Anyway, no matter what she wears, it's the same to her. Her mission is to attend the party and please her parents. Everything else is beside the point.
" If you don't like it, we'll find something else! Why don't you get that blue outfit for me, Lily!"- Lady Taylor was concerned when she saw her in such state. Of course, it was beneficial for her daughter to hear such things, but even the clothes without a personal view made her exceedingly concerned.
" There's no need. I'm exhausted and don't want to go! There's no need to be concerned, the gown is stunning, and I like it!"
" Lily, have you gone out already, or can I take you to the hospital for a checkup? How can I be sure when I see your face, which is so pale and lifeless?" Lady Taylor noticed her daughter had calmed down and swiftly took her hand in hers and spoke softly.
" I'm OK! It's merely that spending too much time inside makes the body weak!"- Her remarks are very plausible, as if she were an ordinary person who spends the entire day in a closed room without becoming weak. new.
" Could you just double-check on me?"- Lady Taylor was well aware that her daughter blamed them for forcing her to stay in the mansion all day, but the two of them had little choice. If they failed to adequately protect her, they would be the ones in danger.
" I don't want to go to the doctor! My health is very good! You don't have to worry!"- Lily protested, she took the red dress in her hand and stood up to go to the checkout counter, but she had barely taken a few steps when she bumped into someone else. When the other party saw her, he frowned in displeasure.
" Why am I meeting you here again?" - Vivian was extremely disinterested and talked to her. Lily also feels that the world is round, just going to buy clothes, she can meet the person she hates the most.
" Am I the one to ask that?"- Lily glanced at her, then stepped aside, ignoring her.
Vivian looked at the dress in her hand, then looked at Lady Smith in the distance and understood in her heart the problem. Looks like this mother and daughter are also preparing for the party tomorrow
" I thought you didn't like participating in this kind of activity, but I didn't expect it to take a long time to prepare? Looks like it took a lot of effort!"- Vivian pouted mockingly, but no matter how high the sound was, it turned out to be just pretending in front of others!
" Is it related to you?" - Lily sighed, she didn't want to cause trouble but the other party still refused to let her go. Then don't blame her for not being respectful!
" Well, I was just wondering! Why do you have to be upset with me? I told you, no one in this circle doesn't have ambition, right?"- Vivian said, then turned and left, leaving Lily alone. Her words were like a knife cutting into her heart. She is right, there is no way to live peacefully in this circle. Speaking of which, Vivian hates her for her reasons too. Firstly, because of her background, since childhood, Lily lived far away from her parents, and she did not inherit the best upbringing. So for the ladies living in riches like Vivian, she was like a scabies toad trying to blend in among them. As for the second reason... this reason is a bit difficult to say, just like in the novels, the rich ladies hate her because she is engaged to the son of the mayor of the city. , the guy this whole New York dream of. Just talking about it briefly is enough to summarize Lily's precarious situation in this high-class world.
" What did Vivian tell you?"- Lady Smith worriedly stood beside her again. Lily shook her head to show that it was okay, she was used to this kind of words, anyway, they weren't wrong, she had no right to be angry.
" If someone bullies you, you have to tell me! Although we don't bully others, we can't let people bully us either!"- Lady Smith feels that her family's position in this city is not small, so her daughter does not need to look. Other people's faces live like that. This gentle girl will be bullied by others.
" It's okay! Mother rest assured!"- Sometimes Lily feels that her mother has taken her too lightly, has she forgotten how she has lived since childhood? Is there a difficulty you haven't overcome?
" Well then, I'm also worried about you! Let me pay for it!"- Lady Smith gave the bank card to the employee, then she held her hand and gently stroked it. A simple dress but almost as valuable as a car, the more I think about it, the more it feels like a waste. Anyway, she only wore it once and then dropped it in a corner.
- Let's go to dinner! I'll see you and your brother at the restaurant shortly!
- Brother? Did he come back? - Speaking of this older brother, Lily's face changed slightly, this is the only person who makes her feel the love in this house. But his brother often goes on business trips, and they rarely see each other. This time he came back probably because of tomorrow's party.
- I know! - Lily smiled and took her mother's arm, and the two of them walked out of the store and went out.
When Elmer saw his sister enter the restaurant, he was sitting with his father discussing business. He leapt to his feet and dashed out the door to pick her up. Lily grinned warmly as soon as she saw him. She moved in front of her brother, quietly calling his name as she let go of her mother's hand. " Are you going to make such a hasty purchase? Why don't you stay up a bit longer with your mum and watch some more?" - When Elmer noticed her empty hand, he promptly inquired. When he returned home, he heard the housekeeper say she was strolling down the street with her mother, so she went to the restaurant with her father to wait for them to return; the younger sister appeared exhausted and poor; perhaps something had happened? " Leave everything in the car!" " Have you forgotten about your sister's mother when you see her?"- Lady Taylor feigned to be enraged when she noticed her son was solely interested in talking to Lily. Elmer laughed and hugged her, then teased her by asking " Ar
The business party in New York City was held at the city's most opulent Manhattan hotel. Her mother woke Lily up early in the morning to get her ready for the party. Everyone in her immediate vicinity hurried in and exited. Lily yawned tiredly and then ignored everything around her as she closed her eyes and looked in the mirror." This is a highly important party. Lily, remember to keep a watchful eye on everyone!"- Mrs. Taylor expressed her concern in her heart. Lily had been taught etiquette and had attended a few parties before, but they had all been on a small scale. This celebration also serves as a significant opportunity for her to meet Edward's family and announce their engagement. As a result, there can be no errors." I'm aware!"- Her mother was concerned, and rightly so. After all, she'd never been to a party quite like this. She would betray her parents and brother if she made a mistake. She couldn't help but give it her all, even if she didn't take the celebration serio
Lily hid in a corner to think after her confrontation with the noble woman. She shouldn't have been so flashy in front of everyone, humiliating her. Clara is the daughter of the city's deputy mayor, and it is speculated that she may one day join the bureaucracy. Then you meddling with her is like narrowing the road to the future on your own. But she's not the type to be bullied easily. How can you be patient with those who come to themselves to do such a thing? - Miss Lily, the mayor would like to bring you into the room for a little while!- When a well-dressed man approached Lily and whispered in her ear, she was taken aback. Isn't this mayor Edward's personal secretary? She wondered, as she turned to look at him. He went to the trouble of coming here in this manner, and it appears like he is having an important conversation inside." I'm aware! "" Inviting Miss Lily! "Lily trailed following him, carrying her skirt. They came to a halt in front of the opulent presidential suite aft
Lily followed her parents down the corridor. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor can be seen furious. Mrs. Taylor noticed Lily in the back, dumbfounded, and assumed she was upset by Venn's words. They had to put up with this contempt for everyone because their family background was not as good as Edward's. Is there any mother who does not suffer in order for her daughter to experience such warmth?" Lily, don't be depressed! Venn just said that but meant nothing else! He is probably too preoccupied with his work to set a reasonable time, and he is afraid that it will affect him, so he simply wants to postpone the engagement! Don't worry, Mom and Dad will speak with the Edwardians once more!"" Everything is fine! I also believe Venn's statement is correct! Some of the rituals you haven't learned yet should not be rushed. I'm afraid I'll embarrass my parents if I get engaged now!" -Lily rushed to comfort Lady Taylor, knowing that they had high hopes for this marriage. It's just a shame that she and Ve
When Lily returned to the hotel, there was already a large dance party going on. She saw the young folks who were engrossed in the music and performing exquisite dance moves, which she admired. In reality, she wants to immerse herself in this high-class life because, as her mother used to say, these things are essentially hers, and she will be able to accomplish them after a while. become accustomed to everything But Lily understands how simple it is; it's not a matter of time; however, the distance between her and this world is too large to be bridged, no matter how hard she tries." What were the previous comments? Why do you appear to be in such a bad mood?"- Elmer trailed behind his sister, swaying slightly as he walked with a glass of red wine in his hand. Lily's parents had discussed Lily's marriage with Edward's family, so they didn't invite him to the party. When he inquired about the matter, both of their faces were very serious. What concerned Elmer the most was his sister's
Everyone was really interested to see how Lily would handle the situation after seeing her go down. They didn't overestimate her abilities, but she didn't have a formal title to begin with, and they needed to see whether Venn would comply. Under the yellow light, Lily's face was obscured, and no one could tell what she was thinking. Clara observed the incident, smiled, and quietly said:"It appears Venn doesn't take you seriously either, because so many people leave you alone and dance with other people. Do you know who she is?" Clara shifted her gaze to the girl who was dancing with Venn, and Lily simply stared at her. Clara didn't do much calculating either, and she said slowly:"She's... She's just a servant girl in Edward's house! Her mother was Edward's housekeeper, and she was raised like a lady and exposed to Venn from a young age! She was normally hanging out with Venn, not expecting to run as far as she did today! Venn's fiancée, Lily, and she dares to gloat in front of you l
" Lily! The performance is not bad" - Clara took her hand to applaud her. Lily looked at her with puzzled eyes, is Miss Clara so angry that she can't even stay awake? Are you must be new ban and try to love with her? But now that she's on her side, it seems that Clara is also disgusted with Julia.“Miss Clara, I would like to take Julia out for a tour! Meet you again!” - Lily doesn't argue with Clara either, she has a whole lot to deal with right now. Lily felt that Julia had more advantages compared to the other noble ladies in the position of many of them. Venn wouldn't be able to openly rebel against his parents because of a maid, only because he had a special affection for Julia. The more Lily thought about it, the more similar it was to a novel that she herself read. Aren't the male and female protagonists who overcome all distances to be together?"Miss Lily, don't misunderstand! I and Venn Edward have no relationship at all!"- Before she asked, Julia corrected herself. This att
Lily sat in the car and stared at the bustling city through the window. In her heart rose loneliness and emptiness. New York is so big, there are so many people, but she can't find her own place. It turns out that loneliness when you are in the midst of thousands of people, but you are lost and do not feel happy. She remembers the days when she lived in China, despite being poor, every day was filled with joy and laughter. It's been a few years since her escape, I don't know how her relatives in China are living now."Miss, I would like to get out of the car to buy some things!"- The driver bowed to Lily, she just noticed him at this moment, this doesn't seem to be her driver... But she I didn't think much of it, just thought it was a very normal thing. Lily nodded at him and then lowered her head and dialed the phone.After the driver got out of the car, he quickly went inside the convenience store, Lily waited for him for nearly 10 minutes but still did not see him come out. She fro
The next morning when Lily woke up, her hospital room was full. They were all friends of Mrs. Taylor, and they brought a lot of gifts around her. Lily is like an animal in a zoo lying still for people to visit."Lily woke up? These are the ladies who often interact with their mother, when they heard that you had an accident, they came here to visit you. Are you feeling better today?”Today Lily was removed from the breathing tube, she was able to talk normally but she really didn't want to answer Mrs. Taylor's question.“I'm fine! I invite the ladies to go out, my health is not very good right now, it is not convenient to receive guests!" - Lily finished saying, closing her eyes to show that she wanted to rest. Mrs. Taylor saw her like this and quickly took her friends out. After Lily heard the door close, she slowly opened her eyes, Lily sighed dejectedly. Ever since the news that she was about to marry Venn, people kept coming to her house to give her flattery gifts. Lily was tired
After Elmer went out with Venn, his expression completely changed. Elmer waved his hand to punch Venn, but the opponent held his hand tightly“What are you trying to do?” Venn yelled in an annoyed tone. From childhood to adulthood, he had never suffered disrespect from anyone, yet now a stranger like Elmer dared to touch him like that."You really don't know, do you? I want to hit you! Because of you, my sister almost lost her life! Don't think I didn't realize the clue to this, this accident must have been arranged!" You are right! But so what? Isn't this what the Taylors wanted? Did your parents expect Lily to marry me but didn't think about the possible events? Elmer, let's not say this marriage has no commercial purpose, we can all achieve our own benefits. Then why not take the risk?”“But…” – Venn’s words made Elmer unable to explain anything further. Because his parents really sold their daughter for profit.“I will make the others pay for their actions this time! Now Lily is
Venn sat in his office looking at people on the ground with extremely cold eyes. It has been a week since the car accident happened, until today, he has not caught the driver who was driving that day. The guy was judged because he couldn't see the original design anymore. Venn tapped his finger lightly on the table, Lily's accident was definitely not simple. Normally, she doesn't go out often, so she can't hold a grudge against others. There is only one main thing that is someone who wants to stop his marriage with Lily, so that only harms her. This marriage affects the interests of many people, so whoever doesn't want it, it's okay. Only you also get not get in the topic that has a work of sorry. This accident Lily was the one who suffered the most from the brand, and he didn't know what to do to make up for her.“Tell me, who is behind your back controlling these things?” - Venn went to kick the other guy hard, the kick for him was shot far. He clutched his stomach in pain and let o
