The Wenhao system helped me become a killer

Chapter 329: Trapped in the Mud

Shen Wenjiao was in a very good mood and went downstairs after packing up. Even when she met the Xia sisters who seemed to be dressed in flashy and revealing clothes, it did not affect her good mood.

To be honest, Shen Wenjiao didn't really understand what the Xia sisters had to be proud of now, based on the gossip she heard from Mrs. Li downstairs.

The Xia sisters are not very smart. They give all the money they earn to their family. People upstairs and downstairs have often heard Grandma Xia say that they will move out sooner or later, and buying a house in Shanghai means that their family has established a firm foothold.

Shen Wenjiao was speechless when it came to this. No one who could rent a small house like theirs in the International Settlement was really poor. Everyone had some savings, so it was not impossible for them to buy a house in Shanghai. But the location would definitely not be good, and it would definitely not be as safe as in the International Settlement.

It was only when Shen Wenjiao bought a house during the special chaotic era of the Republic of China that she realized that buying a house at that time was not just about whether you had money, but also about having connections and guarantees. The most obvious thing was that if you didn't have a background or skills, the staff at the real estate registration office would easily scrape off a layer of grease on you.

Shen Wenjiao's thoughts were at a standstill for a moment. The longer she lived in this chaotic era, the more she missed the orderly modern society. Although there were some dark sides in society, at least the entire social environment was relatively fair and just.

Shen Wenjiao herself has always been a privileged person, so saying these things is a bit like whining.

Manager Qi has always done a good job in this regard. He had already called a rickshaw and was waiting here. When he saw Shen Wenjiao coming, he immediately put on a smile like Maitreya Buddha, "Miss Shen, I have called a rickshaw. How about we go have breakfast first and then go?"

Manager Qi has lived upstairs from Shen Wenjiao for several years, and he has known for a while that Shen Wenjiao likes to sleep in and skip breakfast. However, he doesn't have any special thoughts about Shen Wenjiao's habit. Compared with some female celebrities who do all kinds of weird things to maintain their figure and appearance, this is really nothing.

Of course, thinking of Shen Wenjiao's identity as a cultural person, and Agent Qi thinking of those so-called talents who had bad habits such as drinking, smoking opium and gambling, he decided to protect this good seedling well and never let anyone lead him astray.

"Hehe, thank you, Manager Qi~" Shen Wenjiao had no idea that her reputation for staying in bed and not eating breakfast in the morning had spread. Now she thought that Manager Qi was always warm and thoughtful!

"You're welcome. This will also facilitate the promotion of our film studio, won't it?" Agent Qi had seen other writers write stories in the name of female stars, but perhaps because most of the authors were male, their writings were too erotic.

Manager Qi only needs to look at the promotional materials Shen Wenjiao wrote for those female stars in the past to know that she is not such a person. The women in Shen Wenjiao's works always have their own shining points, and they emphasize acting skills and personal efforts.

This is quite valuable.

The Xia sisters watched Shen Wenjiao being picked up by Manager Qi in a rickshaw, but they had to step outside in high heels before they could afford to call a rickshaw. They were envious immediately because they had to save a few coins to hire a rickshaw.

Xia Yulian no longer felt that her high heels looked good. If she could, she would wear whatever she wanted. Unfortunately, they had signed a contract, and all this was controlled.

"Sister, why don't we hire a rickshaw? I calculated and it only costs two more dollars. This way we won't be late~"

As if thinking of the punishment she would receive for being late, Xia Yulan's face turned pale and she shook subconsciously. She really regretted it. Who would have thought that this so-called movie star would be like this! But now they are deeply trapped in it and can't extricate themselves.

It is undeniable that Xia Yulan hated her sister for dragging her down with her. But she knew that Xia Yulian had already regretted it. But what could she do if she regretted it? Now she could only hope that when the contract expired, they could save some money for a guarantee!

"Two dollars? Can your mother agree to that? She is keeping a close eye on us." Xia Yulian thought of her own mother who would search her and her sisters every day when she came home. The sarcastic smile on her lips was so bitter.

Thinking about the current situation at home, Xia Yulan couldn't say anything else. It seemed that after the two sisters made the wrong decision, everything changed.

"Grandma still cares about us, why don't you say something to her?" Xia Yulan walked towards the intersection gracefully while discussing with her sister. She had long been accustomed to the occasional glances from passers-by on the road and began to ignore them.

She was a good girl in the past, who would have thought that she would live like this now! She used to be embarrassed if someone looked at her a few times on the street, but now she has disappeared in the daily training.

"Grandma? Come on~ I understand now. She is counting on us sisters to save money to buy a house for her precious grandson! She was kind to us in the past just to make us happy now. Otherwise, what elders would encourage their granddaughters to pursue money all day long, even at the cost of becoming someone's concubine."

Otherwise, why do they say that old ginger is still spicy! Old Mrs. Xia still understands the necessity of investing first. As long as the rich and powerful people like independent and cultured women, she suppressed the opposition at home and sent her two granddaughters to school, and even helped them find jobs.

Haven’t I already made back my investment now?

Compared to Xia Yulian, who is one or two years older and has a sharper temper, Xia Yulan has spent more time with Old Lady Xia and has sincerely wanted to be filial to this rare grandmother in the future.

Xia Yulan's steps became a little messy, and her eyes looked at her sister with a little more tears, and her voice became a little more trembling, "Grandma wouldn't be so cruel, sister, do you think too bad of grandma?"

Xia Yulian glanced around, pulled Xia Yulan aside, and said in a low voice with some resentment, "What fantasies are you still holding on to? Do you know what grandma said to me last night?"

Xia Yulian still felt a chill in her heart when she thought about the conversation last night.

"She said, isn't that the case! What difference does it make to have one man or several men? Can people like us expect to marry into a good family in the future?"

"Haha, that's it~" Xia Yulian looked at her sister's eyes, which were a little red. This is their family!
