"Celia, then I can’t complete my task now. I must spend the money in my pocket."
Jim looked helpless. He had never tried to beg others to spend money in his pocket in his whole life. The surprise didn't work, but made Celia a little unhappy. If he had known it earlier, he would have bought it directly. He had asked for her permission, and she would never agree.
"Do you want me to squander Sharon’s money like that? If the woman couldn’t be thrifty, even if there is a gold mountain in the family, the money will be eaten up sooner or later. Moreover, if I need anything, I will buy it myself. I have known his sincerely and I will speak for you in front of him. He will never dare to say a word about you."
Of course she knew that Sharon did it for her sake. But this gift was too expensive for her to accept.
"Thank you, Celia. But I'm afraid that if he knows that I can't even give you the surprise, he will skin me alive."
Jim looked pitiful. Sharon was a calm man, but sometimes he was dif
o use it in somewhere else first. He didn't have any extra money in his hand. No matter what, no one could make the girl suffer more.
Sharon was from the capital and had a household register in the city. People like Zack couldn't compare with him. What Zack feared the most was that others would disdain Celia's identity and bully her. He gave her money in hope that she could take the money to pluck up courage and prevent her from being bullied.
"Uncle, I don't want your money. You are in short of money now. You can take it yourself. I can handle my own business. Besides, the Qin family is a rich family, so what? We are from a small family and there is nothing to be ashamed of. We are equal. Don't worry. I will handle my own business by myself. It’s okay."
To meet Sharon‘s parents? She hadn't made up her mind yet. She didn't know whether to meet them or not. Besides, she would be polite enough to make others unable to find any flaw, but she couldn't ingratiate herself to please others.
