Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
“Dear sister, I don’t know what you like to drink…” Serena intended to let Mirabella prepare it herself.
However, before she could finish her sentence, Mirabella casually said, “Coffee, please”
Serena was taken aback. Did Mirabella mean for her to make coffee for her?
“You really dote on your sister…” Kenneth misunderstood, thinking that Serena wanted to voluntarily prepare coffee for Mirabella. He happily chimed in, “Bella, that’s just how Serena is. She cares about her own family a lot. If you refuse her offer, she won’t be pleased.”
Mirabella looked up at her and said, “Then, I’ll trouble you for that.”
Upon hearing Kenneth’s words, Serena found herself in a difficult position. But since things had come to this point, she could only stand up with a smile and graciously fetch the coffee pot.
From the corner of her eye, she noticed Mirabella was wearing a white chiffon dress today.
The fabric of the dress was thin, and brewing hot coffee required high water temperature…
If Mirabella were accidentally scalded…
With just a glance, Mirabella saw through Serena’s little scheme hidden within her heart.
After brewing the coffee, Serena was about to pour it into Mirabella’s cup when she heard Mirabella say, “Don’t pour too much.”
Serena didn’t expect her to see through her plot so quickly, she gritted her teeth secretly, she wanted to pretend she didn’t hear it, but Mirabella added, “That’s enough, thank you.”
Serena could only stop awkwardly, smiling and saying, “Sister, you’re really careful, I’ve been pouring tea for my parents for so many years and I’ve never spilled it, are you afraid I’ll scald you?”
Mirabella looked at her with clear eyes, a light smile on her lips, “I saw you almost fill the glasses for Mom and Dad, so I wanted less.”
This behavior is also a kind of respect.
“Bella, you don’t have to be so formal at home…” Louisa didn’t expect this kid to be so sensible, learning table manners so well.
On the other hand, Serena’s words just now seemed a bit petty.
But, Serena probably didn’t mean any harm.
Kenneth lightened the mood with a laugh, “Bella, Serena, exam results should be out soon, have you guys thought about which university you want to go to?”
He put down his tea cup, looking at them with kind expectancy.
After Serena sat down, she felt the need to put Mirabella in her place. So she jumped the gun, saying with a hint of pride, “I’ll probably choose Summerfield College.”
Upon hearing “Summerfield College”, Mirabella lifted her eyes, twinkling with an indiscernible emotion.
Serena naturally noticed this gaze and said with a smile, “Although many classmates say this exam was hard, I found it easier than the practice problems we usually do. I’m not feeling any pressure, I’m confident I’ll get into Summerfield College.”
“Summerfield College is the best university in our country, but… I remember you were planning to study abroad, weren’t you?” Kenneth looked at her, a bit puzzled in his eyes.
I used to think that way too, Serena said with a smile, “but Summerfield College is not far from home. If I finish school early every day, I can still come back home and spend time with you all. I prefer this kind of life.”
As she spoke, she deliberately hooked her arm around Kenneth’s, playfully smiling.
We’ve never had to worry about your studies since you were little,” Kenneth said kindly.
“What about you, Bella?” Serena held Kenneth’s arm and sweetly looked at Mirabella across the table. “You must have done well in school, right? I forgot to ask, where did you go to school before?”
*Aren’t you feeling hot?” Mirabella elegantly wiped her mouth with a napkin and suddenly asked.
Serena was leaning half of her body against Kenneth, which may not have been a problem before, but now it seemed a little inappropriate in front of others.
Kenneth smoothly withdrew his arm, smiling as he said, “Indeed, it’s a bit warm. I’ll lower the air conditioning.”
Yes.”
Serena felt a bit embarrassed, but quickly resumed a nonchalant demeanor, smiling as she said, “Bella, you haven’t answered my previous question. How were your grades in the past?”
“Okay.”
“And what are your expectations for this exam?”
Mirabella ate the delicate pastries on her plate nonchalantly, “Hard to say.”
“Bella, do you have any favorite universities? Dad can talk to the people in charge over there…”
Mirabella took a sip of coffee and spoke frankly, “I’m not interested in going to university.”
Upon hearing this, Serena couldn’t help but think that Mirabella must be a poor student. She had said all those things about not being interested, but it was probably just an excuse because she didn’t want to admit she had poor grades.
“Hahaha! I didn’t like going to school back then either. I even got caught skipping class once by your grandpa…” Kenneth recalled the past, chattering on, suddenly remembering that his precious daughter had said her hobbies were all about making money!
An idea struck him, “So, Bella, what do you want to do in the future? Do you have any interests in specific industries? If you want to be a celebrity, I can help you secure resources!”
These days, there were many young girls aspiring to be internet celebrities or actresses, right?
If his daughter had such a dream, he would definitely support her all the way!
Mirabella was confused.
Serena was shocked!
I don’t want to be a celebrity,” Mirabella candidly replied.
“So what do you want to do? Any industries you’re interested in?”
“Fashion design, maybe.”
“Fashion design, that’s great!” Kenneth echoed with enthusiasm, “How about this, since it’s vacation now, I happen to own a small clothing company, it’s close to home, you can go check it out.”
Mirabella was speechless.
“If you find that being a boss is more fun than going to school, then you don’t need to go to university! We have plenty of businesses, we don’t need any degrees! Right?”
Mirabella was surprised by her father’s open-mindedness, while Serena’s hand under the table was slowly clenched into a fist.
Is Dad actually giving Mirabella a company to mess around?
Although the clothing industry is the slowest-growing among all the industries operated by the Collins family, and it only started developing half a year ago.
But it’s still a company!
Mirabella just returned to this family for a day, and she can inherit the family business?
“If you don’t want to make your own living, mom and dad can transfer money to you every day…”
