“The material of this dress is very good, you will definitely look beautiful when you wear it.”
The maid unzipped the zipper, revealing a plaid pleated dress that had clearly been washed to a slightly faded color. Furthermore, to the naked eye, its waist is at least two sizes smaller than mine. This is her so-called "wanting good for me". Using an old, outdated, and ill-fitting uniform to thoroughly assert my status as a "country bumpkin" in front of all the noble children and grandchildren.
“Go change quickly.”
Phuong Nhu stuffed the dress into my hand, her eyes were extremely innocent.
“It's almost too late, the driver's car is already waiting outside.”
Chau Uyen also spoke up, her voice showing impatience.
“Hurry up and change, don't make everyone sit here waiting for you.”
"The Phuong family's reputation is not something for you to use as capital for anger."
I looked at the old dress as if it had shrunk in my hand. Don't get angry, don't throw it away. Just calmly looked at Phuong Nhu.
“Are you sure your sister wants you to wear this dress?”
"Of course." Phuong Nhu smiled even more gently. “This is my favorite spare uniform.”
"Okay."
I nodded and conveniently draped the dress over the back of the chair next to me.
“If it's your sister's favorite outfit, then just keep it as a souvenir.”
“I'm not used to wearing other people's old clothes.”
I turned around and walked towards the door, not bothering to look at them anymore.
“Phuong Am!”
Finally, Phuong Minh Trach couldn't bear it anymore and put down the cup of coffee in his hand.
"Just what kind of temper are you playing? Didn't I tell you to go change clothes?"
I leisurely changed my shoes and pushed open the main door.
“Mr. Phuong, by the way, remind me something.”
I turned my head to look at Phuong Minh Trach's slightly distorted face, trying to control himself.
“My sidewalk set is made from Loro Piana's premium baby goat wool, and the cost per set is about six figures.”
“If you feel it brings shame to the Phuong family, I suggest that you should normally read more high-end fashion magazines and less friends.”
The main door gently closed behind me, separating the dead silence in the dining room. The Phuong family's black Mercedes was parked in the driveway. The driver stood next to the car, and as soon as he saw me coming out, his eyes immediately avoided.
“Eldest Miss… that…”
The driver stammered and said:
“Second Miss said she brought a lot of drawing tools to school today, there might not be any room left in the back seat.”
"Let's see... can you call the car yourself, or can you squeeze on the bus?"
I looked through the half-open glass window. On the spacious back seat of the Mercedes, several light easels and paint boxes were deliberately scattered. It cannot be called taking up space at all. Phuong Nhu sat in the passenger seat, lowered the window, and looked at me with guilt.
“Sister, I'm really sorry.”
"I forgot to pack my drawing tools last night. Today I can only trouble you to come to school by yourself."
“I have twenty-five hundred yuan in my phone, so calling a car should be enough, right?”
She used the most apologetic tone to take the most natural action of rejecting me. I looked at her fake face, but there was no desire to get angry.
"No problem."
I took a step back, giving way to the car.
"This car is yours, I'm not used to it."
I get electricity Open your phone, open a black app without any icons.
“Go slowly.”
Thanh Dieu High School is located in the most expensive southern area of Kinh City, and is a truly aristocratic private high school. Students here, arbitrarily choosing a person, the family behind them is enough to create turmoil in the business world of Kinh City. I didn't call the Thoi family's private car, but conveniently took a taxi that stopped in front of the school gate. This ordinary yellow Volkswagen Jetta becomes extremely prominent among a series of Rolls-Royce and Maybach. When I opened the car door and got out, the students passing by all looked at me appraisingly.
"Who is that person? Taking a taxi to school?"
"Isn't that the real gold that was just found by the Phuong family? I heard it was always raised in the mountains."
“Tch, look at her black outfit, she doesn't even have a logo, it's so poor.”
The whispers were like a tidal wave, bringing arrogance and prejudice from above. I don't know when Phuong Nhu stood in front of the school gate. Today she was wearing a brand new high-end designer uniform, surrounded by several equally well-dressed female students. Seeing me coming, she immediately smiled sweetly and walked up to greet me.
"Sister, you're finally here. I was worried that the first time you entered the city you'd get lost."
She naturally took my arm, turned around and introduced herself to the female students next to her.
“This is the sister I told you about.”
"She endured a lot of hardships in the mountains and didn't understand the rules in the city yet. Please sympathize with her more in the future."
The other female students looked at me from top to bottom, their eyes filled with pity looking down from above.
“It turns out this is Phuong Nhu's older sister.”
