Chapter 28 Bowing To Poverty.
Angela had only a few morning classes. After finishing two classes, Angela went to the bank and obtained at
Since it was still early after leaving the bank, Angela decided to go to work at the milk tea shop.
When Selene saw Angela, she didn’t seem surprised. Instead, she casually remarked, “You finished your classes early today!”
Angela responded with a simple mum‘ and noticed a table in the corner covered in seed shells. Angela grabbed a cloth and went over to clean the table.

This girl is quite diligent. Selene smiled with satisfaction and then noticed a couple entering the shop.
The couple seemed affectionate, and the girl was looking around as if searching for someone. Selene politely approached and asked, “What would you two like to drink?”
Suddenly. Fanny pointed towards Angela, who was busy cleaning in the corner, and asked Christopher beside her, “Christopher, is that Angela? How did she end up here… working as a waitress?”
Christopher also noticed Angela. Angela was holding a trash can and sweeping the nut shells from the
table into it.
The daughter of the Kins Family had fallen to the point of working part–time at a milk tea shop, but it was her own doing. If only Angela didn’t have such a strong desire to possess things that didn’t belong to her and instead peacefully coexisted without fighting or snatching as the second young miss of the Kins Family, she wouldn’t have fallen into such a state. Especially Angela, who had no regard for her own life and even got involved with his older brother. Christopher was truly annoyed.
Looking at Angela, who was cleaning up the trash, Christopher walked over with a cold expression and kicked the trash can over. The trash can toppled, causing the garbage inside to spill out. Angela looked at the scattered garbage on the ground, raised her head, and stared coldly at the man.
The girl’s icy gaze made Christopher pause for a moment, and then he immediately said, “Angela, don’t think that by clinging to my older brother and trying to please him, you can change anything. What doesn’t belong to you, even if you fight for it until your head breaks, it still doesn’t belong to you! No matter how many people from the Sanderses you try to please, I will never like you!”
“Christopher, what are you saying!” Fanny furrowed her eyebrows in anger, pushed Christopher away, and then looked apologetically at me. “Angela, don’t blame Christopher. He’s just… I apologize to you on behalf of Christopher.”
After speaking, Fanny glanced at the trash on the ground and said, “Don’t be angry; I’ll help you pick up
the trash.”
With that, she squatted down to pick up the seed shells.
Christopher pulled Fanny up with concern and gently patted the dust off her white dress. “Let Angela pick. it up herself. Don’t dirty your dress. This store won’t even be worth the cleaning if it gets dirty.”
Fanny playfully stuck out her tongue, threw the nut shells into the trash can, and wiped her hands with a tissue. This dress was specially brought back from abroad by Christopher’s relatives as her birthday gift. It

was designed by a master, and there was only one in the whole city that she was wearing Feeling guilty. Fanny said, “I just wanted to help Angela. After all, it’s not easy for her to live alone outside. My dad doesn’t allow us to help her financially, so we can only help in other ways! After speaking, Fanny took out a red bankbook from her pocket and handed it to Angela.
“Angela, this is some of the lucky money I saved during the holidays, I haven’t spent it all yet, so take it for emergencies.”
Angela looked at the vintage bankbook and sarcastically smiled. “Fanny, drop the act. Let’s put aside the act of helping others, okay? Don’t come and waste my time anymore.”
Fanny was stunned for a moment, a complex expression flashed across her face. “I just wanted to help you. Leaving the Kins Family, Angela, you will regret it.”
Huh. Angela smiled confidently, “Don’t worry, I won’t regret it.”
The girl had black hair and red lips. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, revealing a smooth and full forehead. When she smiled, she exuded a pure and beautiful aura. Fanny was a little confused.
Selene was worried that Angela would face trouble if things escalated, so she quickly brought a broom. Angela hurriedly took it and signaled to Selene that she was fine.
Glancing at Fanny and Christopher, she silently sighed. These two individuals were obviously from wealthy families, and she couldn’t afford to offend them.
Holding the broom in her hand, Angela swept the dirty floor and said coldly. “Christopher, a responsible ex–fiance should act as if he were dead, not flaunting his would–be sister–in–law around as if afraid that people wouldn’t know you have a relationship. Just leave.” She distanced herself from the Kins Family and no longer sought their favor, but they were the ones who clung to her. They were truly despicable.
Christopher’s dark eyes were filled with coldness as he stared intently at Angela, his face pale and
uncertain.
Fanny’s eyes turned red from being talked about, and she grabbed Christopher’s arm with a grievance. whispering, “Christopher, it’s all because of me that you two are arguing. Let’s go and not disturb Angela’s work.”
But Christopher couldn’t bear to see Fanny being wronged, and his temper flared up.
“Boss, give me fifty cups of different flavored milk tea. Christopher arrogantly slapped two 10–dollar bills on the counter, pointing at Angela, and continued, “And I specifically request that she be the only one making it. After she finishes, she will give them out for free at the school gate. Anyone can take them except for Angela.”
Selene looked at Angela with concern. This was clearly going too far. Angela had just arrived a few days ago and didn’t know how to do anything. Wasn’t this making things difficult for her?
Angela stopped Selene from refusing. She wouldn’t let go of an opportunity to make money. She dumped the trash into the bin, clapped her hands to get rid of the dust, and walked to the counter, putting away the two hundred yuan. “Alright, we’ll do it”
Angela wouldn’t argue with money. She wasn’t unintelligent. She was currently in such a dire financial situation that she could feel the weight of her poverty. She needed money, and if someone foolish wanted to give it to her, she wouldn’t refuse.

Christopher looked at Angela with a gloomy expression, thinking that he had misheard things. However, Angela had already begun working efficiently.
Fanny tugged on Christopher’s arm and pouted, complaining, “Christopher, you’re going too far. Angela still has classes in the afternoon. How long does she have to keep making fifty cups of milk tea?”
Christopher gently touched Fanny’s head. “You’re just too kind; that’s why she keeps taking advantage of you. I’m helping you release your anger, silly.”
Fanny seemed a little hesitant. “I’ve said it many times: Angela has never taken advantage of me, never. Why don’t you believe me?”
Following Selene’s instructions, Angela poured ice cubes into the milk tea cup, covered it with a lid, and shook it up and down a few times. A cup of refreshing iced milk tea was ready. And then, two cups, three.
cups…
Christopher kept observing them from the counter but soon grew tired of standing and sat down on a chair, continuing to wait.
Two hours later, fifty cups of milk tea were prepared. Christopher had someone bring over several large boxes, which were taken away. Before leaving, Christopher looked deeply at Angela as if he hadn’t expected that she would actually do it..
Fanny felt guilty and handed a cup of milk tea to Angela, saying, “Angela, you’ve worked so hard. This is for you.
Christopher snorted coldly, “Fanny, this kind of person doesn’t deserve sympathy. I’d rather give it to the dog than give it to someone like her.”
With that, he threw the milk tea on the ground, and Selene’s dog came out and licked it up.
Angela: … Watching this despicable couple leave, Angela pinched her slightly aching wrist. She had been working for over two hours, and not only were her wrists sore, but her legs felt almost numb.
They say money can buy anything.
Angela comforted herself, not to compare, not to compete, and not to get angry at bastards like those two.
