Each meal was full of thoughts. Xu Ruier gave up her role and went to work in the company, waiting for the marriage to be settled.

Xu Ruier licked her wounds alone in the room. She knew very well that in this family, no one would feel sorry for her. Under Xu Wan's design for many years, she was the second daughter with no sense of existence, while the other party was the pride and glory of everyone.

But this time she was very unwilling. Ji Yang said that he would play with her and act with her. He did not expect to be together. She was very satisfied with this.

"Did you cry?" Although Ji Yang's words were inquiring, they were affirmative.

"No." Xu Ruier panicked, took a quick breath, and denied it directly.

"You lied." Ji Yang exposed her, "Your nasal tone is so heavy that your voice is hoarse. Did you cry secretly?"

He had expected this long ago. The Xu family was very smart. They suppressed Xu Ruier since she was a child. Xu Wan also had ulterior motives to treat her and cultivate her current temperament bit by bit.

Only in this way can she be firmly grasped and become a sacrifice for the Xu family to climb up and a stepping stone for Xu Wan.

Xu Ruier was still suppressing her tears at first, but when she heard his words, her tears burst out at once. The suppressed crying sound still came over, which was very pitiful.

"Knock knock knock."

There was a knock on the door.

Xu Ruier stood up and wiped her tears carelessly. Before she could hang up the phone, Xu Ping appeared at the door. Seeing her crying, her face was also irritable, and she closed the door. "It's wrong for mom to hit you, but what did you say just now? You are still not obedient. Do you want to be sent to marry an old man? I can't raise my head if I follow you, right?"

"Filming, filming, my sister is in the entertainment industry, do you want to go against her?"

For so many years, Xu Ruier has no status in the family. When she was a child, Xu Ping ignored her in order to take into account Xu Wan's feelings. Only by ignoring Xu Ruier and taking good care of Xu Wan, this is what a stepmother should do.

Xu Wan also respects her very much, and the Xu family also praises her!

Over the years, Xu Ping's mentality has long been distorted. Xu Rui'er is her biological daughter, but compared to her stepdaughter who brings her honor and recognition, she is worthless.

In such a native family, Xu Rui'er was also instilled and influenced invisibly, becoming a member of the Xu family, the image that Xu Wan wanted most.

Xu Ping is the most important internal factor. She chose to sacrifice Xu Rui'er for her own status.

"I didn't." Xu Rui'er held the phone tightly and stood up, "I just like it and want to try it."

"No!" Xu Ping rejected, coldly, "Go to the company with your father and see if you can learn something. Don't think about it all day. Look how angry your grandma is? Do you want to piss me off to death?"

Hearing this, Xu Rui'er's heart turned cold and her voice choked, "Mom, don't I have the right to choose? Do I have to obey your arrangements? From childhood to adulthood, I have never begged you, but I want to go this time, I want to act."

"What to choose? With such a family background and such a life, what else do you want to do? Are you still not satisfied?" Xu Ping frowned, "Don't expect things that are not yours, and don't compare with your sister. What can you compare with her? Can't you put yourself in the right position?"

If Xu Rui'er makes a fuss, the Xu family will blame her. It took so long to get Xu Wan's recognition and live the life of a rich wife. She doesn't want to lose it!

"You want me, but I don't want me." Xu Rui'er shook her head with tears in her eyes. "I have the right to choose my life."

"Would you be like this if you were a boy? Would you be like this if you could be better than your sister? What do you mean by what I want? I'm doing this for your own good! What do you know?!" Xu Ping's face darkened. "Don't cry. Go and say a few good words to grandma tomorrow. Go to the company and work hard. If you marry well, you can still turn things around. Then mom can hold her head up."

Marriage is Xu Rui'er's only hope. Of course, she must grasp it well. Maybe she can meet a rich boy in the company and be favored by him?

"Okay, mom will get you some ice cubes, otherwise how can you face people tomorrow?" Xu Ping said and walked out.

Xu Rui'er's hand holding the phone turned pale and her whole body was cold.

"Rui'er."

A voice came from the phone. Xu Rui'er's pupils shrank. Unexpectedly, the call was not hung up yet. The humiliation and anger she had just received magnified at this moment.

She was so embarrassed in front of him that her tears fell again and she dared not speak.

Xu Ping came up with ice cubes, but Xu Ruier refused to open the door. After she said a few words, Xu Dong came to find her and left in a hurry.

The room became quiet.

"Are you listening?" Ji Yang's gentle voice came, "Don't cry."

It would have been better if she didn't say it. Once she said it, Xu Ruier's uncontrollable voice came again. She cried breathlessly but was reluctant to hang up the phone.

She longed to get a little courage from him, but she was too helpless.

"I'm outside Xu's house. Pack up everything. I'll take you back to our home." Ji Yang paused for a while, and the clear voice came into her ears.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment. Xu Ruier suspected that she had heard it wrong. She stood there in a daze.

Go back... to their home?

She got up, staggered a few steps, opened the curtains, and saw the car outside the door, and him standing next to the car with a phone.

What kind of feeling is that?

Redemption.

My whole body felt like it was struck by an electric current. My brain went blank and I forgot how to react. My heart was swollen and my grievances were suddenly magnified.

It was like I had someone to lean on.

Ji Yang's voice continued to come, "You are a person, no one can control your life, you have to do what you like to do, instead of being forced to accept it. Your compromise will not bring others' understanding. What will be the result of this? Do you know?"

"Completely give up yourself, and all your efforts will become a matter of course. The Xu family will arrange your path. This path must be related to the development of the Xu family, not your happiness. Rui'er, you should choose your own path. You are an adult, and getting rid of the original family that binds you is also another kind of rebirth."
