Chapter 41: The World of the Poor

  "Su Xia, what do you mean by this?" Wei Mingyuan came storming over.

  "What's wrong with me?"

  "I don't have." Now you're calling someone your girlfriend, doesn't she even have a name? Su Xia's heart was secretly seething. For so many days, Wei Mingyuan had been avoiding her as if his life depended on it, and yet today he came to find her for that person's sake, how ridiculous.

  "No matter what, don't do this again in the future."

  "I said I didn't touch her, didn't touch."

  Wei Mingyuan didn't wait for Su Xia to finish speaking and turned around to leave, Su Xia stomped her foot and fiercely trampled on Wei Mingyuan's shadow on the ground.

  She thought she had finally put an end to things with Wei Mingyuan, but unexpectedly, Wei Mingyuan didn't escape her life because of this. Instead, he brought in reinforcements and together they trampled on his heart repeatedly. If killing people wasn't a crime, she would definitely chop those two dogs into pieces, cutting them up into a thousand segments.

  Huh? Why did I call them a dog man and woman? Su Xia was also unaware of the source of the fire in her heart.

  "What's wrong with you? You look like you want to kill someone!" Meng Xi stared at Su Xia in horror, her eyes wide with fear.

  "Ah, you've found out." Su Xia's face was filled with a murderous expression, her fingers cracking with a crisp sound.

  Just this morning, Su Xia rushed to deliver breakfast to Du Ruo and bumped into Wei Mingyuan's girlfriend who was also practicing dance. Su Xia was knocked down too, but she quickly helped up Wei Mingyuan's girlfriend.

  "My goodness, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?" Wei Mingyuan's girlfriend said exasperatedly.

  Su Xia had never been spoken to like that before. But after a long silence, Su Xia only said one sentence, "Yes, excuse me."

  "I won't let you, apologize." She blocked Su Xia's path, Su Xia could have used force to make her stand on her head, but instead slowly raised his head and looked at her.

  "How scary! Why stare at me like that?"

  "Sorry." Su Xia hastily said before quickly leaving.

  "Wow, you've done something wrong and yet you're so unrepentant, truly uncouth."

  "Hey, what did you say?" Du Ruo walked out of the practice room and called out to the girl who was about to leave.

  "What's wrong with saying she has no manners? It's just different when there's no parental guidance."

  "Say that again, don't think that just because your family has some stinky money you're cultivated. Heaven knows what kind of wild grass grew out of which grave."

  "You..."

  "What's wrong, if you don't leave now, we won't be polite." Du Ruo's hand was already raised, and his eyes were full of intimidation.

  "Du Ruo, why are you so majestic today?" Meng Xi Hang asked with a curious expression.

  "What I hate the most is when someone bullies my friend, and these rich people love to say that others are uncouth. Do they think having two coins makes them cultured? Luckily, she was intimidated by me, otherwise with my current injuries, I really wouldn't be a match for her!"

  "But Su Xia, why did you apologize to her today? It's not all your fault, why are you being so self-deprecating?" Du Ruo asked in confusion. According to logic, Su Xia should have been disdainful and slapped the girl's face to the ground. No matter if she was a beauty or a stunning woman, women don't need to sympathize with other women, this was something Su Xia often said as a temporary worker in the underworld.

  "I just don't want to quarrel with her, I don't want others to think that I'm being difficult because of jealousy." Su Xia's response suddenly made Meng Xi quiet down, and Fang Li also felt heartache for Su Xia. If she wasn't Wei Mingyuan's girlfriend, who could make Su Xia say sorry?

  "What's that girl's name, remind me of her, next time I see her, I'll make sure she's impressed."

  "She's Yue Yue." Du Ruo said her name with a lack of confidence, unlike his righteous tone earlier.

  "Ah, I thought she just had a bit of spare money at home, but it turns out she's the heiress of Tianfeng Group! Meng Xi said in surprise. Indeed, having money at home makes all the difference, compared to her, I'm just a nobody. But what is she doing here in the practice room?"

  "Yes, I just found out she's going to participate too. She hadn't practiced dancing before, so it must be a must-win situation for her!" Du Ruo said dejectedly.

  "It's okay, you're dancing so well, it'll definitely be fine."

  Although Du You winning the first prize is unquestionable in terms of strength, in this society many times it's not just about relying on strength to speak, hard power needs to pass the test, while soft power often overcomes hardness with gentleness.

  Yue Yue appeared in the practice room at this time, presumably with a lot of ulterior motives. Many people can see it clearly, but what can they do? Many people are jealous of such things, but who doesn't want to have a powerful background that can make things happen with just one call.

  There are always so many things in this world that we can't control, all we can do is make ourselves stronger.

  "Uncle Li, you know this competition was specially organized by my father for my mother, and I believe my father has already instructed you on who should get the first prize. However, you also know that my father is getting old and the Mo Corporation will eventually be mine. I'm sure you wouldn't want to lose a partner like me, and I guarantee that if your company encounters any problems in the future, I'll definitely lend a helping hand."

  "Master Mo, look at this..."

  "It's up to you now."

  "Hey, Aunt Li, you know that dance is my mom's lifelong dream. Although she can't dance now, her spirit for dance won't be destroyed. You and my mom are such good friends, I believe you'll help her, right?"

  "What do you mean? Didn't your dad say..."

  "Yes, my dad is here for some business purposes... but he's just a businessman who cares about profits. Anyway, my mom and I still hope you can give a fair score. You are the dancer we respect the most, not because of your dancing skills, but because of your spirit."

  After making so many phone calls, Mo Xiao finally let out a long sigh of relief. Lying in bed, he was still anxious and uneasy, not knowing if tomorrow's game would go as smoothly as he had planned. If it really went as his father had predicted, he might not even be able to grasp his own happiness.

  Du Ruo was still practicing dance in the practice room, while Yue Yue sat on one side eating melon seeds. However, Wei Mingyuan had never accompanied Yue Yue together before, nor had he seen them being affectionate with each other.

  "I said you don't have to be so tired, it's useless even if you are." Yueyue spat out a watermelon seed and said disdainfully.

  "What do you mean?"

  "My heart aches for you, I can't bear to see you working so hard but getting nothing in return. Forget it, that poor person over there is suffering too much, it's too hot here, I'm going home where it's comfortable. My dad is really something, he's already made up his mind, but still wants me to pretend to be obedient."

  Du Ruo did not argue with Yue this time, because on this point she had no standing to argue, even if she used all her might, it was no match for a forceful father.

  But she is not a vain person, she doesn't want to be worth hundreds of millions, nor does she want to become a rich lady. She just wants her younger brother to have a normal life and for her family to no longer be struggling. But all these things that are easily attainable by the wealthy are so far away and difficult for her.
