Chapter 5 I Won't Date Him

A white SUV slowly drove into the gate of Sue's family villa, and Mark and Susan walked forward with smiles on their faces.

“David…”

When Susan found that it was Linda who got out of the car, her flattering smile froze instantly, but she quickly adjusted her mood and responded in a friendly and polite manner.

As soon as Linda left, Susan couldn't wait to ask Sophia, "Nini, why didn't David take you back?"

"Mom, you also said that he is the eldest son of the Miller family, not my full-time driver, so how can he be obligated to take me home?" Sophia responded .

" You silly child, look at what you are saying. I just asked casually because I saw that you took David 's car back the last two times. Why are you in a bad mood? Did you not eat well at school? Mom cooked a table of delicious dishes, waiting for you to come back and enjoy them." Susan said with a smile.

Mark looked displeased, as if he was suppressing the anger that was about to erupt.

At the table, Sophia looked at the king crab and Boston lobster on the plate, her lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint and cold ironic smile. How could she not notice their obvious flattery in her previous life?

Susan noticed the change in Sophia 's expression.

" Nini, don't look so bitter. Mom didn't forget that you are allergic to seafood. Mom heard that David likes seafood, and I thought he would send you back again today. If he stops by for dinner, we should be polite and prepare well, right? There is also your favorite Chinese toon fried eggs on the side, eat more, please?"

Before she finished her words, Susan didn't wait for Sophia to respond before scooping a large spoonful of toon egg and covering her rice.

At this time, Mark on the side spoke up: "Sophia, forget about it today. When can you make an appointment with David and invite him to have dinner at our house?"

Sophia put down her chopsticks, and her originally soft and sweet voice became cold and sharp: "Why do you invite him to dinner at home?"

" Why are you so angry, kid? Can't you even invite your classmates to dinner?" Susan questioned.

"No." Sophia answered firmly.

"You!" Mark glared.

"You two stop arguing, Nini. Did you feel wronged at school today? Why are you so angry? Your dad just wants to thank David. After all, he sent you back twice." Susan quickly tried to smooth things over.

" I forced him to do that. I've already thanked him. He's busy." Sophia responded coldly.

" Why are you so stubborn?! Let me tell you, David is not just an ordinary rich kid. He has a great background! Just because he sent you back that day, your dad got the loan he applied for for several months without any progress. When they were approving it, they almost said that they were doing it for David 's sake. With a classmate like this, why don't you hurry up and build a good relationship with him?!" Mark couldn't help but scold.

Sophia looked at Mark expressionlessly , secretly mocking herself: It turns out that he had tasted the sweetness so early. How could she not see clearly in her previous life that he wanted to tie her daughter to David ? She responded jokingly, "Dad, how do you know that they didn't harm you by approving this loan?"

"What do you know, little girl! Our Sue family's business is as stable as a rock. This money is used to expand production! It is a legitimate purpose. How could it harm me?" Mark retorted unhappily.

Yes, they expanded production and invested all their money, but in the end they lost everything due to industry changes, leaving a huge hole.

They caught David, their "son-in-law", and squeezed out all the value from him.

Sophia stood up and said firmly, "I really don't know anything, but nothing lasts forever, so you better take care of yourself, Dad."

In this life, there will be no more "son-in-law" to suck your blood.

" Nini, are you full already?" Susan asked in surprise.

"Yeah, I'll go upstairs." Sophia responded calmly.

"Sophia! Remember to make an appointment with David!" Mark shouted from behind.

Sophia stopped and responded firmly, "No way. I won't date him, ever."

"You!" Mark was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Grandpa Sue, don't be angry, just let her be. You have got the loan. We can't afford the Miller family, so let's not try to get close to them. It would be good to run our own small business," Susan consoled.

"What do you know, woman!" Mark yelled.

Sophia closed the door and blocked out the noise of their quarrel.

Her room was decorated in a pink and dreamy style, showing her parents' love and care for her. However, in her previous life, she naively thought that this home was so warm and cozy.

Mark and Susan were originally from Suzhou. When they were young, they came to Beijing together to develop their business. They started from a small workshop and gradually expanded to a medium-sized company. Their family assets exceeded 100 million yuan, and they managed to settle down in this prosperous city.

The family of three lived in a duplex villa worth more than 20 million yuan, and hired three nannies and two drivers to take care of their daily life.

Originally , Sophia studied in the international class of Beijing City Affiliated High School, and her classmates' families were no worse off than hers. However, in her second year of high school, she met David and insisted on transferring to the top class to take the national college entrance examination. She tried her best and finally got into the top class as she wished.

Mark and Susan agreed with her decision . At that time, she naively thought that her parents doted on her and supported all her ideas. However, she accidentally learned the truth after her marriage in her previous life: it turned out that Mark wanted to break her legs! It was Susan who persuaded him that the students in the international class were at most the second and third generation of rich people, while the students in the top class were the real elites and children of the rich and powerful. Anyone who could get to know someone well could help them expand their network. The two of them reached a consensus to support her transfer to another class.

When she was admitted to National Tsing Hua University and began to pursue David vigorously, her parents encouraged and supported her both spiritually and materially. She was moved and thought that her parents supported her pursuit of love. However, in fact, they were only attracted by David's background and family background and wanted to curry favor with him.

Hahaha, how ridiculous!

Sophia's peach blossom eyes instantly became misty.

"Knock knock knock..." There was a knock on the door.

"Nini, can mommy come in?" Susan's voice sounded outside the door.

Sophia opened her mouth to say "no", but Susan had already opened the door and walked in. She asked about David's well-being and praised David's appearance and temperament in a roundabout way, trying to brainwash Sophia again.

In her previous life, she actually thought her mother was so open-minded and understood her obsession with looks! Ha!

"Men are most attractive at the age of 18. They are young and clean. Even your mother envies you." Susan said.

Sophia suddenly said, "Mom, being young doesn't mean you're clean. You should take precautions."

"…You silly girl, mom was just kidding you." Susan smiled awkwardly.

" I'm not kidding." Sophia said seriously.

“…”

The amiable and considerate demeanor Susan had been pretending to have throughout the day suddenly collapsed at this moment. Her face turned pale and blue, and her smile completely disappeared.

After a long while, she finally asked, "Nini, you..."

"Yeah, I know." Sophia responded calmly.

"How...did you know that?" Susan asked in surprise.

"They found it out." Sophia said calmly.

"They?" Susan asked in confusion.

"People who like David." Sophia explained, "Because David sent me home twice, they were jealous, so they looked up dirt on you and dad. They found out that you often met with high school and college boys. They used these things to threaten me and told me to stay away from David."

“…”

Susan was silent. Although Sophia 's words were a bit exaggerated, the socialites did release these scandals later when she and David got their marriage certificate and prepared to hold their wedding banquet. At that time, Susan was already seriously ill.

Sophia felt ashamed.

The Miller family was also unwilling to acknowledge such relatives.

In the end, no one ever mentioned her wedding to David again.

Although they are not in a secret marriage, it is worse than a secret marriage.

Susan sighed: "Your father's side..."

"He plays more extravagantly than you do." Sophia interrupted bluntly.

“…”

"If you can't get along, you might as well get divorced sooner. It's better to live your own lives in the future than being morally bound by these constraints now." Sophia suggested coldly.
