Chapter: 2415
Leaf Chen looked her up and down, seeing that she was dressed formally and had lightly applied makeup. He coldly said, "You're the Missy of the Xiǎo family, sitting in my electric car is too cheap. What's wrong? Do you still want to be like before, using me as a taxi?"
Xiǎo Wēi immediately felt ashamed and lowered her head.
At this moment, she thought back to when she was seated in Wang Yúnfēi's Bentley, looking down at Leaf Chen outside the Imperial Group building. "That time's Leaf Chen was driving this electric car."
"That time I completely didn't care about Leaf Chen, thinking he was just a soft and pampered king, useless. So, I really looked down on him then."
"Who would have thought that half a year later, Leaf Chen would become the most important person in Jinling, while I would fall to being a lady's maid who has to give people 200 yuan per day?"
"And even for the sake of saving money to feed Granny, Dad, and Older Brother, I wouldn't dare take public transportation or hail a taxi."
Thinking about this, she mustered her courage and said humbly, "Brother-in-law, please don't tease me like this. Our family is now in such a predicament, what am I supposed to be, the Missy of the Xiǎo family?"
After saying that, she looked up at Leaf Chen with red eyes, feeling deeply regretful and said, "Brother-in-law, everything from before was my fault, all due to my mistakes. I shouldn't have looked down on you or been opposed to you and Older Sister. Life has already taught me too many lessons, and I've come to realize my own errors. I hope you can be an adult who doesn't take petty things into account and don't treat me like this again."
Leaf Chen's expression was filled with surprise when Xiao Weiwei said those words.
He never thought that Xiao Weiwei would be able to say such things.
What surprised him even more was the sincerity and earnest tone in which Xiao Weiwei spoke.
He could see that Xiao Weiwei's words were coming from her heart, not just empty talk.
Seeing Xiao Weiwei genuinely apologize and acknowledge her mistakes, Leaf Chen's demeanor softened slightly, saying calmly: "Knowing one's errors is the first step towards improvement. If you truly realize your past mistakes and wake up to them now, it's not too late."
"The Story of Leaf Chen and Xiao Yuan"
After hearing Leaf Chen's words, Xiao Weiwei hastily nodded several times, her voice choked with emotion, saying sincerely: "You're right, brother-in-law. I'm really regretful now. I'll never be that arrogant, ignorant, and condescending person again."
As she spoke, she loosened the zipper of her down jacket, revealing the blue formal dress underneath, and said: "Brother-in-law, look at me now. I've started looking for a job myself. I'm working as an event host in the newly opened Pearl City area."
Leaf Chen curiously asked, "How did you start taking orders? I forgot, you're actually a university student, right? Wouldn't it be stronger to find any job instead of taking orders?"
Xiao Weiwei was extremely ashamed and whispered lowly, "This brother-in-law doesn't deceive you. My dad and my older brother were scammed by my aunt several years ago and became invalids. Now they can only lie in bed and do nothing, and my grandmother is also old, so she's been under a lot of stress lately. So I have to come out and earn money to support the family."
As she said this, Xiao Weiwei sobbed several times and choked back tears, "But I also can't find those decent jobs because they don't pay until the next month. But my dad, older brother, and grandmother are all waiting at home for me to bring back some food. That's why I have to take on such a job"
"So that's why I can only find work as an event hostess that can be done daily"
Leaf Chen nodded lightly.
In the past, he went shopping with his father-in-law and saw Xiao's grandmother helping customers carry plastic bags at the supermarket. At that time, he knew that the Xiao family was already in a very difficult situation.
Before that, they relied on Wu Donghai, who could at least eat and drink well.
But later, Shen Jian, Shen Hailong got into trouble, took away Leaf Chen's father, Ma Ran, and made Wu Donghai thoroughly hate Leaf Chen's family.
Finally, Wu Donghai learned about his identity as Leaf Chen's big brother, so he had to kowtow to him and seek a way out. JrNovels.com
