When Su Jiuyi returned home, she found that many guests had arrived at the house, mostly her father's business friends and the wealthy women her stepmother usually played mahjong with.
Su Jiuyi was well aware that these so-called friends only existed because of interests; in the business world, there are only eternal interests, not eternal friends.
The hall was bustling with noise, and Su Jiuyi observed the situation inside from the doorway.
She didn't want to appear in front of these pretentious people in her current state, but the only way to her room was through this path, and she had no other choice.
Eventually, she forced herself to walk in, trying to keep her head down so that no one would notice her.
"Oh, Mrs. Su, isn't that your eldest daughter?" an irritating female voice sounded in Su Jiuyi's ear, with a touch of sarcasm.
Su Jiuyi smiled, knowing that her stepmother didn't like her, so her friends also treated her with scorn and mockery.
