154: Has the relationship faded?

Girls all have the urge to take photos and share them.

Guan Yanchu was no exception.

When taking photos, Gu Xiaoxuan also helped her take many.

Night views definitely had to be captured as well.

Finally, Guan Yanchu carefully selected nine photos, precisely blocking Wang Pingping, but not her own Relatives, and posted them on her Moments.

She wanted those Relatives who gossiped about her behind her back to see that she was doing very well now!

As for being envied… Guan Yanchu had long been used to it.

Perhaps in some people's eyes, she was an unruly person; not marrying an 'honest and dutiful' man as they wished was rebellious.

She… just wanted to live the life she desired!

This nine-grid photo collage was different from previous ones; before, it was just various high-end venues, appearing elegant.

But this time, the photos were different; there were all kinds of luxury goods, and most importantly, there was a mansion.

Soon, people from her circle commented on her Moments.

They were, of course, expressing their astonishment and envy.

They were the kind of people who could take a nine-grid photo collage just by having afternoon tea; if they went to buy luxury goods, they would probably start taking pictures from the moment they entered the store.

Product selection, checkout, and various poses would definitely be indispensable.

How could they be as 'crude' as Guan Yanchu? Moreover, piling so many luxury goods together for a photo was such a waste!

But, it had to be said, it created an even greater impact.

And there was also a mansion!

Not only were there living room photos, but also room photos; the area and the view looked like a master bedroom, and what's more, her daily necessities were meticulously arranged in the room.

Everyone in the circle knew each other.

Guan Yanchu's situation was probably… that she had found a good match.

So they were envious.

This was what they had always dreamed of.

However.

Their envy was not Guan Yanchu's purpose in posting this on her Moments; it was mainly for her own Relatives to see.

She was living a good life!

When Guan Yanchu was in high school, her parents died in a car accident, and she received a sum of compensation.

She had already started to become sensible.

However, since she was not yet eighteen, that compensation money was managed by her grandmother.

The result was… when Guan Yanchu was in college and needed tuition fees, her grandmother refused to give her the money.

At the time, she didn't know why, but later she found out that the money had actually been used by her grandmother to buy a house for her uncle!

It had long been spent.

Perhaps in her grandmother's eyes, a Granddaughter's education was certainly not as important as her own youngest son.

When Guan Yanchu questioned her, her grandmother actually said that her uncle had already found her a job as an apprentice at a hair salon.

Studying cost money, but working could earn money.

Her future life seemed to have been planned out.

Perhaps when she reached a certain age, Guan Yanchu would be arranged for a blind date, and then her grandmother could also get a dowry.

She heard this once when she was in her room, listening to her aunt and grandmother talk.

They were already discussing what the dowry should be used to buy.

Guan Yanchu did not come out to confront them, but secretly ran to find her maternal grandfather.

Her maternal grandfather, of course, did not let it go; why should the money, which was exchanged for his daughter's life, be used to buy a house for her paternal uncle?!

Her maternal grandfather and several maternal uncles went to demand an explanation, and the two families completely fell out.

It was also because of this commotion that her grandmother finally agreed to give her money for college.

But this also led to Guan Yanchu having difficulty returning home.

Perhaps, from the moment her parents passed away, that was no longer her home.

She didn't want to go back either.

It was precisely because of these experiences that Guan Yanchu matured early; she knew very well that if she wanted to escape her current situation, she had to rely on herself.

From college onwards, she had already been planning her future.

She began to learn etiquette, began to pay attention to her behavior and dress… and because she knew what she wanted, she didn't get lost, her goal was always clear.

She was lucky.

Although she suffered for a while, now, she was finally living a life many times better than she had imagined.

The better she lived, the more uncomfortable some so-called 'Relatives' would naturally feel!

This was the reason Guan Yanchu embarked on the path of a Socialite.

Before, it was a pretense, but now it was a reality!

…Tang Xinyao returned home from school.

Her older sister was back, but Xu Zimo was not there.

She had originally been a little excited, but now she was a bit listless, and when eating, she was also picking at her food.

Her mother, Chen Yaqin, frowned at this.

What was wrong with her younger daughter? She looked like she had lost her soul.

“Xinyao?”

After calling her several times, Tang Xinyao finally let out an 'ah'.

“What are you thinking about while eating?”

“No… nothing.”

Tang Xinyao quickly took two mouthfuls, then put down her bowl and chopsticks: “I’m done eating!”

With that, she walked towards the living room.

Something was off.

Very off.

Not only did Chen Yaqin feel this way, but Tang Xinyi also felt that her younger sister's situation was a bit unusual.

Could it be… that she was in love?

After all, she was already in college, an age when one's heart first awakens, so it was normal to meet someone she liked.

Receiving a look from her mother, Tang Xinyi tidied herself up and walked towards her younger sister.

Between two sisters, there was, of course, nothing that couldn't be said.

After Tang Xinyi arrived, she gently nudged her younger sister and asked: “You… do you have someone you like?”

Hearing this, Tang Xinyao was startled, immediately flustered, and quickly denied: “No, no such thing!”

No way?

Could it be… that her older sister had seen through her?

Would she be kicked out of the house by her older sister?!

It was over, it was over!

However, her reaction only deepened Tang Xinyi's suspicion.

“There’s nothing wrong with having someone you like.”

Tang Xinyi first comforted her, then asked: “Tell me, what’s the situation with that person? Your older sister will help you vet him.”

“…”

Tang Xinyao's eyes darted around, not even daring to look into her older sister's eyes.

However, after hearing the latter part of the sentence, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

This… she must not have been discovered.

Otherwise, her older sister would definitely not be so easy to talk to.

This was good, this was good.

“Are you still shy in front of your older sister? Come on, tell me…”

After being pressed several times by her older sister, Tang Xinyao said in annoyance: “Oh, there really isn’t anyone. I’m still young, I don’t want to be in a relationship!”

Tang Xinyi was stunned.

Her younger sister's reaction… was quite different from her guess.

In the past, the two sisters could talk about anything, and they often slept together.

They even asked what it felt like to kiss, and often said things like the two sisters should never be separated.

Could it be that the two sisters hadn't slept in the same bed for a while, so… their relationship had grown distant?

Tang Xinyi decided that she would sleep with her younger sister tonight to strengthen their sisterly bond.

Little did she know, her younger sister was purely feeling guilty, not daring to answer her directly, or even face her.
