Feng Jie was helpless, knowing Meiyou’s temperament. Forcing her would only make things worse. So, she would not give her bonuses or tips, just a small monthly salary.
Meiyou had to use this hard-earned money to buy food, rent a house, buy necessary performance clothes and cosmetics, buy medicine for her mother, take her to regular check-ups and treatments, and various other expenses.
All of this would overwhelm the frail Meiyou, leaving her breathless, exhausted every month.
She could only use her talents to offer various instrument training during free time to earn a small supplementary income to support her family and maintain her mother’s treatment.
Just after preparing a hot medicinal soup for her mother resting in bed, her phone rang urgently.
Meiyou placed the hot medicine on the table and picked up her phone, seeing the caller ID – “Gali.”
Her face wrinkled, “Why him again? For months, Prince Gali had been pursuing Meiyou. No matter how she refused or politely declined, he remained persistent.”
Prince Gali had not revealed his identity to Meiyou, wanting to bring her the same considerate treatment others would.
After waiting for a while, Meiyou’s phone “went unanswered” three times, but Gali’s call still rang loudly.
Meiyou shook her head, realizing she could not avoid it. If she did not answer, Gali might come over.
Meiyou answered the phone, her voice flat, “Hello?”
An excited voice came through, “Ah… Xiaoyu? Is that you? Why aren’t you answering the phone?”
Seeing Gali still chattering, Meiyou grew impatient, saying, “Oh, I’m outside. I have a piano class today.” She truly did not want Gali to get close to her, fearing that gaining support would truly lose happiness.
Meiyou and Tianxe were impossible in reality, but she did not want to displace Tianxe’s position in her heart. In her heart, Tianxe would always be first, never to change.
After hearing Meiyou’s another lie, Prince Gali was silent for a while, sighed, and said, “Is that so? Then I’ll come see you. Tell me where you are.” All this time, Meiyou had been deceiving him, evading him.
