“How am I going to get a job with such short notice? Dad, why are you doing this? I will go back and apologize to Gu Shishi, is that it?”

Li Chengzheng casted her a glance.

“Do you think that everybody else is just brainless? That she couldn’t tell whether your apology is sincere or not? What is the point of forcing you to do that? I don’t need you to go apologize anymore. If HB is really going to hinder the Li’s future, you can consider this an early trial of how you will live after we go bankrupt.”

Li Yiru gritted her teeth. “Our family can’t be that bad without HB!”

Li Chengzheng never stopped scribbling. He handed her a new sheet of paper.

“I have done some research before coming over today. Niece Gu works in an art studio during the day time. The Gu’s and us rival each other in wealth. If their daughter can have a job that she can support herself on, then why can’t you? Alternatively, if you don’t want to work, you can do what’s on this list. I will have Secretary Chen follow you around.”

Li Yiru did not understand the second part of what he said.

She looked down on the piece of paper that he handed to her and almost had a nervous breakdown.

“Have lunch with Gu Shishi, receive 1,000 yuan.

Go shopping with Gu Shishi, receive 2,000 yuan.

Have afternoon tea with Gu Shishi, receive 3,000 yuan.

Be praised by Gu Shishi, receive 5,000 yuan.

…

Become friends with Gu Shishi (verified by dad), receive 5,000 yuan.

Become one of Gu Shishi’s top 3 friends, receive 10,000 yuan.”

The piece of paper in hand, Li Yiru’s hands were about to start shaking.

“This is what Dad would like to see you do, but you don’t have to. You can also try to make money on your own.”

Having said that, Li Chengzheng leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.

“Don’t think you can ask your grandpa for help this time either.”

Li Yiru almost ripped the piece of paper up!

Then her cellphone vibrated.

It was a message in her girlfriend chat group.

[Pingting: Ruru, how are you doing? Were you really forced to go apologize?]

[Wushuang: It was all my fault. Xiao Ru only did that because of me… I am so sorry. Is there anything that I can do?]

Li Yiru bit her lip as she read the messages.

She turned to look at her dad.

She wanted to share with them what had just happened but she hesitated.

If her dad wouldn’t change his mind and she really needed to go and kiss up to that peasant girl…

Or, perhaps after one night, her dad would be convinced by her mom and change his mind.

There was no reason to share it with Pingting and the others yet. She wouldn’t want them to think that her dad couldn’t tell what’s wrong from right.

She thought about it for a little bit and replied that she was okay.

But Gu Wushuang sent over a few more messages to ask about her.

Luo Pinting, too, kept on asking for details.

Looking at the nonstop messages from her girlfriends, Li Yiru suddenly felt disgusted and irritated.

She didn’t feel like talking today but they kept on prying like she owed them money!

She used to think that Wushuang was particularly kind, tender, and always caring to her friends, but today she just felt that she was irritating.

As irritating as Madam Xianglin.*

All she did was keep on repeating “I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault…”

Li Yiru was very irritated.

Should the person, who was forced to go and apologize, have to comfort Gu Wushuang, who had only stayed home and waited to eat melon?*

What the h*ll?!
