Xiang Nuannuan drank another glass of wine, and perhaps because of the alcohol, her eyes looked a little vague.

"Do people in your circle laugh at me? Do they look down on me?"

The more Xiang Nuannuan asked, the more concerned she became.

Zhao Muyu swallowed her saliva. She really didn’t know what to say. The key point was that she wasn’t sure whether Xiang Nuannuan’s personality could accept the truth.

"be honest."

Wen Xu reminded.

Rather than well-intentioned hypocrisy, she felt that Xiang Nuannuan needed the stimulation of the truth more so that she could know where her problem lies.

Zhao Muyu hesitated in choosing her words. Zhao Musi probably knew what Wen Xu meant and spoke first:

"Nuan Nuan, I'm telling you the truth, don't be angry. You know that Young Master Shen is not ordinary. He is the prince of the Shen family in the imperial capital. He is a top-notch person. It's nothing to have a woman to accompany him.

If it's just because of your identity as a female companion, there's nothing to look down on. There are countless women who want to climb into Young Master Shen's bed, but you're the only one who succeeded."

"But I'm just someone else's substitute, a woman who sells her body for money!"

Xiang Nuannuan smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Zhao Musi, and drank it all in one gulp.

Zhao Musi waved his hand and said:

"No, it has nothing to do with the identity of a stand-in, nor is it a matter of money. What I want to say is that you yourself have problems. Nuannuan, have you ever reflected on yourself?"

"What aspect should we reflect on?" Xiang Nuannuan didn't quite understand.

Zhao Musi drank a glass of wine and said bluntly: "When attending any occasion, can you be presentable? Can you deserve the title of Shen Girl's Companion? Can people look up to you?"

The three soul-searching questions stunned Xiang Nuannuan, who pursed her lips and could not speak.

Zhao Musi continued, "Let me first talk about the clothes you wore when attending various occasions. You always wore plain clothes without dressing up, but every time you wore them, you had fake stuff on.

You may think that it doesn't matter if you are a little casual, but have you ever considered Mr. Shen? As a female companion, you represent Mr. Shen's reputation. Even if you don't have any pendants, it's better than using fake ones to save face.

Many people in the circle mocked Mr. Shen because of this incident, saying that he was stingy and bought fake goods for his female companions and didn't even buy her a decent piece of jewelry. I guess he has never talked to you about this issue!

Let me talk about your personality. You may be very self-deprecating, timid and cowardly. The more you are afraid of making mistakes, the more likely you are to make mistakes. We have met many times before, either at banquets or drinking parties.

You spilled the wine three times, twice on Mr. Shen, once on Mr. Tang, oh, and once, boiling hot tea spilled on the back of the waitress's hand, causing a blister..."

Zhao Musi counted on his fingers the number of times they had met and thought about Nuannuan's mistakes.

The latter shrank his head, wishing he could dig a hole and bury himself in it.

Many female protagonists who don't like men are like this, and Wen Xu doesn't find it strange.

It's like a person with underdeveloped cerebellum, but it's not stupid on purpose. It looks like tea but it's not real tea.

Zhao Musi stopped there and didn't say anything more about Xiang Nuannuan, but shifted the topic to himself.

"Nuan Nuan, before the incident, I was a very generous person. I don't like people who are shy, so I don't like your personality. But after the incident, many people talked about me behind my back, and even my parents didn't help me.

I often hated myself and became an inferior and sensitive person. I couldn't reconcile with myself and became timid. To be honest, I hate myself now."

Zhao Musi choked up more and more as he spoke, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

After listening to Zhao Musi's words, Xiang Nuannuan realized how stupid she had been.

No wonder Shen Qi'an rarely took her to formal occasions in the past year and a half, and only took her to private gatherings with good friends.

She is indeed not presentable.

But Shen Qi'an really never talked to her about this issue.

She can give up her dignity and be criticized by others, but Shen Qi'an cannot be criticized by others.

Putting aside his behavior that day, Shen Qi'an was really good to her.

She had hated and resented him these past few days, but now that she thought about it carefully, she had a big problem.

Shen Qi'an paid for her schooling, covered her food and clothing, and gave her money and expensive gifts.

But all these made her fill the family with endless worries. As long as her family cried or made a fuss, she would compromise.

My father took the money and continued to gamble, my mother disguised herself as a lady, and my sister did the same. She used the things she had earned with her dignity to show off and squander.

And what about her? She seemed to have gotten used to this kind of life. She thought that the expensive jewelry and bags were just external things. She gave them to her family to make them happy and supplement the household expenses. She didn't cry or make trouble. Her family called her a good daughter. She actually felt that it was good.

She thought, it's just a bag or a piece of clothing, it's a high imitation, no one would notice it, who would pay attention to a female companion? Anyway, those people would not look down on her, no matter what she wore, they would look down on her.

She also gradually lost herself. She didn't want to work hard, socialize, or venture out. She really thought of herself as Shen Qi'an's girlfriend.

In order to serve him well, she started to act like a spoiled child, became jealous, and learned to make trouble. She was no longer as obedient and docile as she was at the beginning.

That day, Shen Qi'an took the initiative to say that he wanted to talk, but she inexplicably felt particularly wronged and stubbornly refused to get out of bed and open the door.

He must have been suppressing his anger for a long time, which led to his exploding that day. He was not a good-tempered person to begin with, and he had drunk a lot of alcohol.

Now think about it, what is there for Xiang Nuannuan to feel wronged about? She is not his girlfriend, she knows clearly that she is just a substitute, what right does she have to care about Shen Qi'an's affairs?

He drank glass of fruit wine one after another.

Xiang Nuannuan had a low alcohol tolerance and quickly got drunk. As she drank, she started crying.

It wasn't the kind of sobbing that was soft, but the kind of crying that was wailing loudly, and while crying she was expressing her grievances.

Wen Xu and the other two were a little overwhelmed.

"Since I was little, my parents have said that I was unlucky and that I owed them my whole life. My mother said that she had a difficult birth and it almost cost her her life. Not long after I was born, my father's factory went bankrupt.

Later, when my younger sister was born, they liked me even less and sent me to live with my grandmother in the ancient town of Jiangcheng. I stayed there for ten years and they never came to see me once. It was my grandmother who raised me and paid for my dance and piano lessons.

When I was 17, my father had gambling debts and couldn’t pay them back. Someone blocked our door and splashed red paint on us to demand money. Then they remembered me and my grandmother and brought us from Jiangcheng Ancient Town to the capital.

A family of five squeezed into a small house of 40 square meters. They sold their grandmother's old house to pay off debts, and the family lived in the capital relying on the savings in their grandmother's hands.

I have never enjoyed the love of my parents. There is no place for me at home. I have to study and work to supplement the family income. I want my parents to like me and recognize me. Whatever they want and whatever my sister wants, I can give them as long as I have it. "
