Just as I was about to leave the room, Wang Fangfang stopped me. I didn’t know what else she wanted to do and could only turn around and look at her helplessly.

“Shen Ling, we’re all classmates and today is my birthday. Shouldn’t you stay for dinner before leaving?” Wang Fangfang looked at me and said.

“No, I still have work to do. Moreover, I have my staff meal.” I hurriedly refused.

I didn’t want to eat here. Seeing Liu Tao and Wang Fangfang together made me feel uncomfortable. Moreover, she only wanted to make fun of me. There was no need for me to continue embarrassing myself here.

“aiya, Shen Ling, what’s so good about the staff meal? You should stay here. There’s a birthday cake today. You haven’t eaten a cake in all these years, have you? I’ll let you eat one today.”

‘Wang Fangfang’s tone was already obvious.

Hearing this, I felt even more ashamed. I had indeed never eaten cake before, but I didn’t want to eat a cake celebrating her birthday.

Moreover, I didn’t want to embarrass myself in front of Liu Tao.

“No, I’m not interested. My staff meal is pretty good. You guys eat. I’ll get going first. Goodbye.”

still rejected her. No matter how poor I was, I would not eat Wang Fangfang’s food.

“Stay. You really haven’t eaten cake before. Try it.”

At this moment, Liu Tao also spoke. I was able to tolerate whatever others say, but Liu Tao’s words broke my defense. We didn’t have a relationship anymore. I wouldn’t blame him for not helping me, but why did he have to hit me when I was down?

I couldn’t speak and stood rooted to the ground. I looked at Liu Tao coldly, as if I was resisting silently.

Liu Tao ignored my gaze. When the students beside me saw this, they also mocked me for being a bumpkin and said that I had never even eaten a cake.

I could ignore all of this. I just stared at Liu Tao. I wanted to see his attitude towards me.

Unfortunately, a trace of disdain flashed in Liu Tao’s eyes. Then, he looked at Wang Fangfang with a smile. The two of them were as intimate as before.

‘My heart ached as if an invisible hand had firmly grabbed my heart, making it difficult for me to breathe.

I wanted to cry, but I didn’t. I definitely wouldn’t cry, especially not in front of these people who were bullying me.

“I didn’t bring any gifts so I won’t eat here anymore. Wang Fangfang, happy birthday. I still have something to do. Goodbye.” After that, I leave the private room.

T ignored Wang Fangfang’s teasing words as she asked me to stay.

‘When I left, I clearly heard Liu Tao say, “Fangfang, why did you keep such a bumpkin? It’s bad for your appetite. Let’s eat ourselves.”

Hearing this, I could tell that Liu Tao’s true thoughts had been exposed. He had finally understood. I was just a country bumpkin who was placed in his family. How could I fantasize about being with someone like him? It was about time everyone came to their senses.

I was absent-minded the entire afternoon and did not work seriously. My heart was filled with the shadow of Liu Tao and Wang Fangfang talking and laughing together. I knew that I would never be able to find my Brother Liu Tao again.

Perhaps humans were contradictory to begin with. On one hand, I hoped that I would no longer burden Liu Tao. On the other hand, I couldn’t stop myself from thinking about him. I was sad because he was with Wang Fangfang.

In the afternoon, I was so distracted that I forgot to eat my delicious staff meal. I even acted very calm when I received my salary. If I hadn’t met these so-called classmates and Liu Tao, I would have been very happy.

After returning to my room and eating with Sister Anna, she looked at me and said nothing.

She only advised me to fight for what I like and not sit idly by and wait for others to snatch it away before regretting.

I was somewhat surprised and uncertain when I heard this. Why would Sister Anna say that? Could it be that she knew about me?

Sister Anna looked at my expression and smiled. She said that although someone in her industry might not know about many things, they were very knowledgeable when it came to things that involved romantic feelings.

Thinking about it, it was indeed the case. Some of them were forced by others, and some were even willing to be deceived by others for the rest of their lives.

I wasn’t good at judging these things, but who doesn’t want to live a peaceful life? Which girl is willing to be toyed with?

Hearing that, I didn’t say anything and just thanked her.

Sister Anna sighed and said, “Little Shen Ling, you have to know that it’s not easy to meet a person you like, so I hope you can pursue your own happiness. No matter what the outcome is, as long as you don’t regret it in the future, it’s fine. Can you tell me about what’s going on?”

Hearing this, my nose turned sour. I cried and told Sister Anna what had happened. Of course, I hid the truth about me and Instructor Liu.

After hearing about Liu Tao and me, Sister Anna sighed. She also felt that there was no hope for Liu Tao and me.

For the rest of the week, I kept trying to adjust my state so that I could enter the focused class. After all, Wang Fangfang had once said that I would be in the same class as one of them.

I did not doubt that this was the result of some purposeful arrangement. However, Liu Tao and Wang Hao’s fight last time was the best example for me to learn from. I could not afford to offend Wang Fangfang’s family.

If I want to enter the focused class, I could only do well and try to enter the focused class in a few months.

Just like that, I stayed at home every day and read, cooked, and washed clothes. Everything was ordinary.

Although it was very calm, I enjoyed it because there were a group of sisters who treated me well here. Especially Sister Anna, who treated me as her own sister.

Moreover, no one here would deliberately cause trouble for me because we were all pitiful people who pitied each other.

Of course, I haven’t been to Mom’s class since that time, because Sister Anna told me that it was about pleasing men.

My mother still didn’t care about me. Moreover, she doesn’t seem to want me to find her.

However, in general, life was still pretty good. However, I did meet a sister who tried to kill herself in the bathroom. Her name was Liu Jia. She said that she had joined this industry because she had been cheated by a man. After that, she had always been earning money to support that man. However, that

man had married someone a few days ago.

After finding out, I advised her for a long time. I even advised her to stop working in this line of work.

Perhaps my persuasion worked. That night, she went to find my mother and explained things to her before leaving.

According to Sister Anna, my mother was actually very nice. At the very least, she was not strict with them. However, this time, Liu Jia had made my mother somewhat angry.

Then, Anna told me that Liu Jia had been stupid this time. She told me that after leaving this industry, she would never be able to eat again.

I looked at Anna in confusion, because I remembered that Liu Jia had hands and feet.. How could she not be able to eat?
