Sometimes, people can be quite interesting.
When the Zhao family was still doing well, Su Yi would never have spoken to Zhao You in such a tone.
In fact, he was well aware that Zhao You only approached him for amusement.
But now that the Zhao family was in the same situation as his Su family, he suddenly became more assertive.
Perhaps human nature is like this.
Everyone despises each other while flattering one another. Each hopes to be superior to others but also crawls at others' feet.
Given Zhao You's personality, she shouldn't have put up with this.
But today was different from the past. She knew she couldn't afford to offend Su Yi.
Otherwise, she might really be cornered.
Moreover, after the decline of the Su family, Su Yi had seen all kinds of faces.
For power and profit, he had mingled with all sorts of people, which had made him good at manipulating people's minds.
So after Zhao You moved in with them, she had been brainwashed into agreeing with Su Yi - she also thought she should get some money from her brother.
Even Su Yue came over and said to Zhao You, "Yeah, now Xu Tingyu is so arrogant just because she's rich."
"Money gives people courage. Sister - in - law, if you get some money from home and I work hard, won't our days of turning things around be near?"
She had a good plan. After all, creating the persona of a wealthy young woman required "props".
The Su family had long declined. Although there were some luxury items at home, they had been divided up.
Very few had fallen into her hands.
To create her persona, she needed to casually show off her wealth.
Otherwise, no matter how much she boasted, others would just take it as a joke.
So she had long set her eyes on Zhao You's clothes, shoes, and bags and had already told her that she would borrow them for filming.
But after being mocked by Xu Tingyu, she felt that what she had was far from enough.
She needed more luxury items to build up her image.
That meant she needed Zhao You to go back and get more.
Zhao You glanced at Su Yue, a hint of contempt flashing in her eyes. "Su Yue, do you think I'm stupid? Let me tell you, what I gave you before was already quite generous."
"If I could get that many things out of my home, I wouldn't be with you guys."
The Su family didn't value Su Yue, and Zhao You looked down on her because of it.
A person marginalized by all the Su family members couldn't make much of a splash.
Not only did Xu Tingyu not believe she could turn things around, but Zhao You didn't either.
So she ignored Su Yue's overtures and turned away.
Su Yi, who never liked to talk to Su Yue, also followed.
Seeing herself being ignored like this, Su Yue gritted her teeth in hatred. But there was nothing she could do, so she could only follow them with a铁青 face.
After a verbal battle and a great victory, Xu Tingyu was in a great mood. She even patiently endured the little troubles at work cheerfully.
She went straight to the mall to pick a birthday gift for Ding Nan's little daughter.
First, she went to a clothing store. When she was led to the girls' section, her heart melted.
Those little clothes were so beautiful and cute.
She couldn't put them down and looked around again and again. Everything looked good to her.
But when the salesperson came to ask for the size, she suddenly remembered that she had no idea how tall the child was.
Moreover, giving clothes was something usually done between people with a close relationship.
It wasn't quite appropriate for her to give clothes.
So she had to go to the boys' section and pick out a lot of clothes for Youyou.
After paying the bill and coming out, she saw a familiar figure lurking in the distance.
Huh? Isn't it a weekday today? Why is Qi Ruixi in the mall at this time?
Moreover, she was so heavily wrapped up, and her route was furtive, as if she was following someone.
If it weren't for the backpack on her that Xu Tingyu had given her and the dolls from their company that hadn't been released yet hanging on it, Xu Tingyu wouldn't have recognized her.
Xu Tingyu followed her for a few steps and saw her turn into the cinema.
Come on, it's just a movie. Does she need to be so sneaky?
Xu Tingyu didn't understand, but she thought Qi Ruixi must have her reasons.
If she went up to say hello now, she might ruin Qi Ruixi's "good thing".
So she decided to pretend not to see and do her own thing first, and then ask her what was going on later.
But just as she was about to pass by the cinema entrance, she heard a quarrel inside.
"Look, I've said I'll pay more. Isn't that okay? Even if I have to sit on the floor inside."
It was Qi Ruixi's voice.
Then a helpless and formulaic voice sounded.
"I'm sorry, ma'am. This doesn't comply with the regulations. There will be a new screening of this movie in three hours, and there are still tickets available. You can choose that one."
Qi Ruixi clearly wasn't willing to accept this. "I just want to watch this screening. Look, you let me in, and I'll find someone inside to buy their seat by paying more."
With a generous reward, there must be someone willing to give up their seat.
But this request was still rejected.
"Sorry, ma'am. This doesn't comply with the regulations. You didn't buy a ticket, so we can't let you in."
The staff still refused.
Xu Tingyu stood outside and heard Qi Ruixi pestering for a while longer, but in the end, she failed.
Moreover, because her conversation with the staff was quite loud, it attracted a lot of onlookers.
Xu Tingyu also heard someone whispering.
"I've really seen it all. Watching a movie and still trying to get special privileges. Not buying a ticket but still wanting to get in and saying she'll pay someone to buy their seat. What, is she rich or something?"
"Exactly. There's another screening later. Does she have to watch this one? I think she just wants to sneak in without buying a ticket. She's just being a nuisance after being caught."
"Maybe. She looks quite pretty, but I didn't expect her to do such a thing."
"Hey, there are really all kinds of people these days. It's really tough on the staff."
...
Hearing them being so harsh, Xu Tingyu couldn't help but step forward and look at them.
"When you're out, your dignity is self - given. Why be so mean to others?"
"You don't know the truth of the matter, so don't judge a person based on your own subjective ideas. That's very impolite."
The two of them didn't expect Xu Tingyu to come up and talk to them. They suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
Just as they were about to defend themselves, Qi Ruixi also saw Xu Tingyu and immediately ran over guiltily. "Sister, why are you here too?"
Xu Tingyu stopped looking at the two passers - by and instead looked at Qi Ruixi with a smile.
"I came here to buy something. I passed by and heard your voice. I thought I was mistaken, but it really is you."
"You like the lead actor of this movie? I can arrange for you to meet him."
Xu Tingyu knew this movie was very popular recently.
One of the lead actors was her student, and they had a good relationship.
Not long ago, he had said he wanted to attend her concert tour, but the timing didn't work out.
