The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

Chapter 1210 We Must Resist

Hot pot restaurant, selling Five-White Soup.

A girl loudly told the waiter, "I want three cups of white soup, large cups please."

The waiter was extremely busy, but still managed to take a moment to reply, "Just a moment, it'll be ready soon. Will you be eating here or taking it to go?"

The girl said, "Pack it up."

The waiter said, "Okay, please wait a few minutes."

There was originally only one server making the Five White Soup here, but they were too busy, so the manager brought in another server, so now there are two people selling the Five White Soup. But judging from the current situation, it seems they are still not enough.

At this moment, Chen Xiuxiu, a part-time courier, was also in the queue. She was a villager from this village and a classmate of Shen Wenxu. She took advantage of the holiday to do part-time work to earn money. Today, she had come to queue here five times. It seemed that everyone was buying Wu Bai Geng.

Suddenly, a girl next to her gently tapped her shoulder. She immediately turned around and asked, "Is something wrong?"

The girl pleaded, "Little sister, could you let me go ahead of you in line? I really want to drink the Five White Soup. If I don't get to drink it soon, I feel like I'm going to faint."

Chen Xiuxiu waved her hand, disbelieving: "You must be lying to me. How could I faint because I didn't get to drink the Five White Soup? You should wait in line. I don't want to give it to you. I've been waiting in line for a long time too."

The girl bent down slightly and said with a smile, "Little sister, could you let me pass? How about I give you a dollar?"

Chen Xiuxiu shook her head firmly: "I don't want to, I want to queue properly."

The girl glanced at the line behind her; there were still seven or eight people. It was going to take forever. "Little sister, can you help me? I'll give you two yuan."

"I don't want to, you go and queue up yourself." Chen Xiuxiu thought to herself, the business of Wu Bai Geng was much better than the milk tea shops outside, with people queuing up one after another, as if the queue would never end.

A boy behind Chen Xiuxiu spoke up for her: "Hey, sister, if the girl doesn't want to give you her seat, you should just go and wait in line."

The girl rolled her eyes at the boy: "Mind your own business! I didn't ask you to give me your seat!"

The boy was speechless: "I was just trying to help someone in need. Didn't you see that you were already annoying that little girl? You have no sense at all."

The girl snorted coldly: "What's it to you? This is between me and my little sister."

Seeing the girl's reaction, the boy decided to go all in: "Little sister, would you be willing to give your spot to her?"

Chen Xiuxiu shook her head: "I don't want to."

The boy raised his voice and pointed to the back of the line, saying, "Did you hear that? They don't want to, so hurry up and join the back of the line."

Seeing that everyone was looking at her with some disgust, the girl stomped her foot angrily, turned around and left. Kids these days are not so easy to fool; even money doesn't work.

The group calmed down once the girl left.

Chen Xiuxiu looked back, but all she could see was the girl's departing figure. She probably couldn't stand everyone's stares, after all, so many people had just condemned her.

No longer paying attention to the girl, she turned back. The Five White Soup was too popular, and there were too many people in line.

……

Jiang Rui and Li Can made plans to have barbecue. On the way, they chatted and invited Shen Yingying out as well, so the two of them became three people who went to the barbecue stall together.

Jiang Rui poured Shen Yingying a glass of juice and asked, "Yingying, what have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen you in a long time."

Shen Yingying looked at the two of them: "I work at my sister's company, don't you know that?"

Jiang Rui said, "Of course I know, but we're also at work, though we don't seem as busy as you, so I couldn't help but ask you."

Shen Yingying explained, "I have a lot of things to take care of, so I'm very busy. I didn't reply to your messages asking me to hang out. Of course, it wasn't on purpose. I'm just too busy. Sometimes I don't have time, and sometimes I forget. Please don't blame me."

Jiang Rui held Shen Yingying's hand: "It's definitely not my fault, I just want to ask what happened."

"I'm doing well. I learned so much during this holiday, and I'm really happy." Shen Yingying suddenly remembered something. "Oh right, I haven't asked you yet. Have you all received your acceptance letters? Have you all been accepted? When are you planning to go to school to register?"

Jiang Rui looked at Li Can and said, "We've both received our acceptance letters, but the reporting time is in September. We plan to finish our work in August, resign, have a few days to relax, and then report a day early."

Shen Yingying said, "I went to City A with my sister on the last day of August, and then went straight to university to register. We'll only see each other during winter and summer vacations from now on."

Jiang Rui deliberately asked, "What, you're not planning to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, National Day, or New Year's Day?"

Shen Yingying thought for a moment and replied seriously, "That's uncertain. After all, the holiday period is too short. It depends on the timing."

Jiang Rui said, "No matter what, I will miss you."

Shen Yingying said, "Me too."

Li Can looked at Shen Yingying with affection and reluctance, but he also knew that there was a big gap between them. If he confessed his feelings to Shen Yingying, they might not even be able to be friends in the future. So he decided to bury his feelings deep in his heart.

He decided that if he was good enough for Shen Yingying in the future, he would express his feelings to her; if he was not, he would not say anything.

Even if we can't be lovers, we can still be friends, which is great too. There are other kinds of relationships besides lovers.

Shen Yingying looked at Li Can: "You chose a major that you like, right?"

When Li Canjin spoke to Shen Yingying, he immediately became excited: "Yes, and I like it very much. I will study hard and strive to achieve something so that I can work at Xifu in the future."

"Your ambition is commendable," Shen Yingying encouraged. "In my sister's opinion, if you have any abilities, you can put them to good use at Xifulai."

Li Can said excitedly, "After hearing what you said, I will work even harder in the future."

Shen Yingying said, "We can get together again before we go to school, otherwise it will be a long time before we see each other again."

“Listen to Yingying.” Jiang Rui nodded. “I’ve heard that many classmates stop keeping in touch after graduating from high school. We can’t let that happen. Our friendship must stay as vibrant as an evergreen tree.”

Li Can chimed in, "Yes, Yingying, judging from the current situation, you are definitely the most promising one among us. You can't abandon us."

Shen Yingying immediately raised her hand and swore: "I, Shen Yingying, swear here today that as long as you do not betray me, I will always consider you my friends."

Jiang Rui grasped Shen Yingying's hand: "The oath is made."

Li Can raised his glass: "Come on, let's drink instead of alcohol and toast to our friendship."

"Cheers." The three clinked their drinks together and drank.

No matter how many years later, the three of them will remember this moment and never forget it.

Jiang Rui suggested, "After we have some late-night snacks, let's go for a walk together and take some photos. It's a rare opportunity."

Shen Yingying seconded, "I agree."

Looking at Shen Yingying's smile, Li Can couldn't refuse: "I agree too. It just so happens that the three of us haven't taken a group photo yet, so let's take some photos to commemorate this."

……

Liu Xingyan has been back for a year now. In this year, she has made some friends, but she has drifted further and further away from her family. However, she doesn't care. She only cares about those who truly love her.

Over the past year, she has been learning and improving every day. Now she has fully mastered financial knowledge, passed the accounting qualification exam, and become a real financial worker.

She worked very hard, which Shen Xuening noticed. Seeing her ambition, Shen Xuening was naturally happy to give her more opportunities, and as a result, she earned more and more money.

However, she kept all the money in her savings without telling her family, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have been able to keep it.

During the holidays, Liu Xingyan was also on holiday. She was shopping with her good friend Qi Rong.

"Qi Rong, why aren't you going home for the holidays?" Liu Xingyan asked curiously.

"My parents started pressuring me to get married as soon as I got home. It's so annoying." Qi Rong frowned deeply, clearly annoyed.

"This... seems to be a common phenomenon." Liu Xingyan didn't know how to advise her. Her parents were very busy and didn't have time to take care of her. She was still young and there was no rush.

"Yeah, what's wrong with our parents? They're pressuring us to get married like it's our life. Is marriage really that great?" Qi Rong said helplessly.

“Our parents have their own considerations, but their thinking is outdated and can’t keep up with the times,” Liu Xingyan advised.

"Yes, but why do they want to control my life?" Qi Rong's brows furrowed so deeply they looked like they could trap a mosquito between them.

“Perhaps your parents care about you, but they’re using the wrong methods,” Liu Xingyan suggested tentatively.

"I don't need their concern. If they really care about me, they should give me money. Everything else is fake." Qi Rong became agitated, showing how much he disliked the whole thing.

“Don’t rush. Getting married now requires your consent. If you don’t want to get married, no one can force you,” Liu Xingyan said.

"But it's infuriating to listen to," Qi Rong said, becoming irritated.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Calm down, it'll be alright." Liu Xingyan quickly patted Qi Rong on the back to comfort him.

"Yan'er, I'm sorry, it just bothers me to talk about this. It wasn't directed at you, please don't mind." Qi Rong quickly apologized.

"I don't mind. Good friends should always vent to each other," Liu Xingyan said.

"Yan'er, you're so kind. The way your family treated you was their loss too," Qi Rong said.

Liu Xingyan smiled gently: "Yes, it's their loss."

As they were talking, they walked to the beef stall run by her parents. Their stall did quite well, after all, they dared not go against Shen Xuening's wishes and sell counterfeit or shoddy products. The beef on their stall was all made with high-quality ingredients and was very delicious.

Since the stall was profitable, the three of them focused their energy on it and stopped paying much attention to Liu Xingyan.

Just then, the uncle saw Liu Xingyan amidst his busy work. In his memory, it seemed like he hadn't seen Liu Xingyan for a long time: "Yan'er."

Liu Xingyan froze and stopped in her tracks: "Dad."

Unlike his wife, the uncle wasn't biased. Seeing Liu Xingyan, he felt a pang of guilt: "Why haven't you come home lately?"

Liu Xingyan replied politely, "It's easier for me to get to work here, so I didn't go back."

The uncle sighed: "You should come home and visit when you have time. We're all family. Are you going to cut ties with us forever?"

Just as Liu Xingyan was about to nod, her aunt's voice came over: "Why are you talking to her so much? She's just an ingrate. I raised her all these years, and she won't even come back to help me."

The uncle said, "She has a job, why would she come to help? Besides, can you pay her a salary?"

The aunt-in-law said matter-of-factly, "I'm her mother, and besides, what need does a family have for a salary?"

Liu Xingyan was quite saddened to hear this, but she was already numb and didn't feel much: "Mom, you can manage things here, so I won't get involved."

My aunt scolded, "You ungrateful wretch! Is this how you repay your parents?"

Qi Rong couldn't help but say, "Auntie, is Yan'er your daughter or your slave? She works for you but you don't pay her. How will she eat and wear clothes? Is she livestock? Livestock need to eat too! Besides, she's your daughter. Can't you treat her better?"

The aunt-in-law retorted angrily, "Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to interrupt us?"

Qi Rong was also a sharp-tongued person: "I'm just a passerby who couldn't stand it, but anyone with a bit of maternal instinct wouldn't act like you, it's too much."

"Get out of my way, I don't want to talk to you." The aunt pointed her finger at Liu Xingyan, "Are you stupid? I'm talking to you, and you're letting an outsider interfere."

"Mom, there are so many people here, I don't want to argue with you. Are you not going to continue your business?" Liu Xingyan felt ashamed and didn't want to say anything.

Upon hearing this, the aunt immediately calmed down considerably: "Liu Xingyan, you come home tonight, and we'll talk about it slowly when we get back."

"I have to help my cousin with some documents, so I can't go back." Liu Xingyan refused without thinking. She might get beaten if she went home, and she didn't want to be beaten again.

"Fine, I'll call your cousin in a bit and see if she really has any documents for you to handle," the aunt said angrily.

"Go ahead and hit him," Liu Xingyan said, pulling Qi Rong away quickly.

Qi Rong said helplessly, "Yan'er, you are too timid. You should fight back, otherwise your parents will bully you for the rest of your life."

Liu Xingyan shook her head: "I don't have your courage. I've lived like this since I was a child. I'm really afraid they'll beat me."

"You..." Qi Rong was also helpless. When parents hit their children, the children can't fight back.

"Qi Rong, I know you're worried about me, but you can't help me with this. However, I promise you, I will try my best to fight back," Liu Xingyan said.

"That's good. We're all grown up now and capable of supporting ourselves. We really shouldn't let others bully us anymore," Qi Rong instructed.

"I understand." Liu Xingyan silently warned herself that she could not continue to be weak, otherwise life would only get harder in the future.
