“I am, I am!” Valda quickly replied. Even if she wasn’t free, she would make time for this.
“Okay, when you finish work tomorrow, I’ll come to your studio to pick you up,” he said.
“Okay,” Valda agreed.
After finishing their discussion, Mr. and Mrs. Hart were about to leave. Before leaving, Mrs. Hart reminded Valda, “Valda, my son is a bit introverted. You have to work hard. I’m counting on you to give me grandchildren in the future.”
Valda blushed at her words.
After Mr. and Mrs. Hart left, Brian hugged Valda from behind and said, “See, there’s no need to be nervous around my parents. They won’t bite.”
“Do they really… not have any issues with me?” Valda asked hesitantly.
“What do you think of me?” he asked in return..
“I…both my parents are deceased, and I don’t have much of a family background. My profession is just a small cartoonist,” she said, biting her lip slightly.
Brian smiled faintly, “I’ve been searching for so many years to find someone like you. Unless they don’t want grandchildren, why would they object?”
What he didn’t say was that for a while, his mother just wanted a girl, and didn’t ask for anything else!
“My parents have already accepted you. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t have invited you to dinner tomorrow,” he added.
His words seemed to remind her of something, and she hurriedly said, “What should I wear to meet your parents tomorrow? It’s a formal dinner, and I need to make a good impression!”
“Just be yourself” Brian said.
Although he said that, the next day, Valda still chose a light blue sult that Brian had bought for her before. It looked more formal, but not too serious, and made her look gentle.
She also put on light makeup to make herself look more energetic.
But after following Brian to the restaurant for dinner, she said, “Um…I need to go to the bathroom and touch up my makeup.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you here,” said Brian.
“Okay,” Valda replied and quickly walked into the restroom.
She looked at her makeup in the mirror and then took out some powder to touch up her face.
She hopes to meet Brian’s parents today in a good state.
At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside me, “I saw
Brian just now in the lobby of the restaurant. I heard from the manager here that the Hart family booked a private room today.
Chairman Hart and Mrs. Hart personally selected the dishes, saying that they were going to meet the prince’s girlfriend!”
“What? The prince has a girlfriend?” Another person chimed in.
“Exactly, I don’t even know what kind of person she is, but she’s so lucky to become the girlfriend of the crown prince.”
“Could it be some female celebrity?”
“Speaking of which, did you also pursue the prince back then, but he didn’t even notice you?”
“Hmph!” A cold snort came from the woman’s nose. “Maybe we’ll get to meet the prince’s girlfriend today. I can’t wait to see what kind of woman can be the prince’s girlfriend!”
Valda, who was standing on the side, felt extremely awkward listening to the conversation between these two women.
“The girlfriend of the Crown Prince,” as they call her, is right beside them.
Valda looked through the mirror and saw the woman who had once pursued Brian. She was wearing a well-made floral dress, had a slender figure, and was wearing bright makeup. She did look quite attractive.
She looked through the mirror and quickly made eye contact with the woman. The woman’s face darkened and she turned to glare at Valda, saying “What are you looking at?”
“I didn’t…I didn’t see anything,” Valda stammered, quickly lowering her head and continuing to touch up her makeup.
The woman looked at Valda’s clothes and then at the powder she was using. Suddenly, she sneered, “Do you really think wearing designer clothes can make you look rich? At least change the powder you’re using. This cheap powder is obviously something only poor people would use. It’s embarrassing to even take it out.”
Valda bit her lip and looked up at the other person. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with me using this powder, but you, criticizing others like that right off the bat, that’s something only an uncivilized person would do.”
“You…” the woman exclaimed in anger, “What’s the matter? Your can’t stand being criticized for using cheap things? I wonder where you got that outfit from. Maybe you traded your body for some unspeakable deeds to get it!”
The woman turned around and walked out of the restroom with another woman.
Valda grabbed the powder compact and hurried out of the restroom, shouting “I’m sorry!”
“What?” The women looked at Valda with amusement, as if she were a joke.
“I want you to apologize!” said Valda!
In the past, if someone spoke about her in this way, she might have just accepted it as bad luck and endured it.
But now, she doesn’t want to continue like this. She doesn’t want anyone to throw dirt on her, but she has to endure it. If this continues, it won’t just be embarrassing for her, but also for Brian and the Hart family. They will all be embarrassed together!
Because now, she not only represents herself, but she is also Brian’s girlfriend!
“What are you joking about, are you crazy?” The other person spat at Valda.
“Shouldn’t you apologize for insulting someone in the restroom just now?” Valda said coldly.
“Oh, you mean when I said you traded your body for designer clothes? So what if I said it!” The woman said nonchalantly, along with her friends who also had a haughty expression on their faces.
“Since I said it, then apologize!” Valda insisted.
“Ha, even if I did insult you, so what? You can change your clothes and pretend to be wealthy, but you can’t fake your identity and status,” the other person looked at Valda with disdain. “That’s the difference between you and me. You keep apologizing here, but what can you do about it? I won’t apologize, so what can you do about it?”
Valda frowned, and just then, a voice rang out, “What’s going on? Valda, why do you want them to apologize?”
Valda looked up and saw that Brian had walked over.
Brian had obviously heard some of the conversation earlier, but he wasn’t sure what the argument was about.
The two women who were confronting Valda were taken aback
Brian walked up to Valda and naturally put his arm around her shoulder, looking down at her. “Earlier, I heard that they insulted you. Is that true?”
“This person said some unpleasant things, so I asked her to apologize,” Valda pointed to the woman who insulted her.
The two women looked at the situation and quickly realized what was going on.
This person was clearly Brian’s girlfriend!
The woman who insulted Valda was both shocked and angry, and looked at Valda with indignation.
“You did it on purpose, didn’t you? You clearly overheard us talking about Brian’s girlfriend, but you deliberately eavesdropped, just to make fun of us!”
The woman’s friend next to her awkwardly said to Brian, “It’s just a misunderstanding.”
The person who started it all still felt like they were being played and angrily said, “What misunderstanding, Brian? Your girlfriend did it on purpose, and her taste is really bad. Look at the powder she’s using, it’s cheap stuff that only poor people would use. Being with someone like her will only lower your status.”
“Oh, my status? What status do I have?” A dangerous glint flashed in her pitch-black eyes.
amment
She was just an angry woman, but she was completely unaware of it. She continued to speak recklessly, “Your social status is naturally high, but if you associate with people like her, others might think you have some issues or a peculiar taste. People like her are only suitable for those who are poor…”
Her words were interrupted by a strong tug on her sleeve from a friend standing beside her.
“What are you doing? I haven’t finished speaking yet!” The woman said displeased.
“Brian, she…she was just talking nonsense. Please don’t take it to heart!” The friend was already apologizing repeatedly to Brian.
“Why wouldn’t I mind? If she dares to speak ill of my girlfriend, of course I would mind!” Brian said in a cold tone, his face showing a chilling expression. Even the air pressure around him seemed to have dropped significantly.
The woman only realized it now and showed a frightened expression.
“I…I spoke out of turn, Brian…please forgive me…” The woman’s voice trembled as she spoke.
Line cold tone. “The person you should be asking for earlier were all nonsense. I apologize to you and promise not to speak recklessly again!”
Valda pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.
The woman, upon seeing this, immediately lifted her hand and fiercely slapped herself on the cheek, repeatedly hitting herself with several slaps until her face became swollen.
Valda looked up and said to Brian, “Brian, let’s go. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good to keep your parents waiting for too long.”
“Is this enough?” Brian asked.
As soon as he spoke, the woman became nervous and looked at
Valda with a frightened and pitiful expression.
Valda simply pulled Brian’s hand and said, “Let’s go.” Before, she really wanted an apology from him, but now that he had apologized, she felt a sense of boredom.
She knew that the woman wasn’t genuinely apologizing, but was only doing so out of fear of Brian.
“Okay, let’s go,” said Brian as he took Valda’s hand and walked towards the elevator.
The woman and her friend finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the woman herself almost collapsed onto the ground!
Who would have thought that the person I met in the restroom turn out to be Brian’s girlfriend.
Shouldn’t men like Brian be looking for a girlfriend who is stunning and has an outstanding temperament? But the person just now was completely like an ordinary girl next door.
But it’s this petite and delicate girl that Brian is protecting with all his might. He even looks at his girlfriend with such tenderness that it’s…jealousy-inducing!
When Valda and Brian stepped out of the elevator, Brian suddenly said, “What’s wrong? Are you still feeling upset? I thought that person apologized to you and you would feel better.”
“She only apologized because of your relationship with her. Actually, I should be happy that you’re protecting me, but at the same time, I can’t help but think, what if you weren’t here with me today?
What if we weren’t in a romantic relationship and I was alone? In that case, she would never apologize to me, and I might not even have a way to seek justice!” Valda said.
And the reason is simply because the other person has more power than her.
“So, you’re unhappy?” Brian asked.
“Just…feeling a bit powerless,” said Valda.
“Although I don’t want to admit it, many times it’s true. That’s why people want to become stronger, because the stronger you are, the better you can protect the people and things you want to protect, including dignity, freedom, and so on,” said Brian. “This world is a survival of the fittest. If you don’t want to be seen as weak, then you should constantly strive to become stronger.”
