After all, William was Roe&#8217;s father, but she was still a little jealous.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   However, she was soon relieved. As long as Roe was happy, she would be happy.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8211;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   In the garden, Angie took breadcrumbs and threw them into the pool angrily, attracting a group of fish to compete for food.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Vanessa shook her head and said, &#8220;Angie, if you feed like this, the fish will die.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I don&#8217;t care. Buy some new fish if they die.&#8221; Instead of stopping feeding, Angie grabbed a lot of food and spilled it in.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The fish was full and happy, but she was not.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;The fish didn&#8217;t make you unhappy. I can tell that they&#8217;re valuable to your dad. You&#8217;d better stop at it.&#8221; Vanessa knew that she was unhappy.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   However, if the living things die in an official&#8217;s house, it means bad luck.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   For the koi fish in this pool, a servant was specially assigned to serve them at home.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Koi symbolized auspiciousness. Her husband often invited his colleagues to watch it.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Angie knew it in her heart and she didn&#8217;t dare to really let the koi die. She was still afraid of her father, she said unhappily, &#8220;Mom, I&#8217;m so sad. You still care about these Koi. Am I not as good as a fish?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;That&#8217;s nonsense. You are my only daughter, and also the only daughter in our family. You&#8217;re the apple of my eye.&#8221; Vanessa pretended to be angry.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Angie vented and threw the rest of the crumbs on the ground. &#8220;Mom, someone bullied me.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Who dares to bully you? Mom will help you out.&#8221; Vanessa still took Angie&#8217;s hand and put it on her own. Since knowing that his daughter suffered such tribulation, she had been painful.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She could not see her daughter suffer the grievances.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;It&#8217;s about that bitch. How did you tell her last time? Why didn&#8217;t it work? Now Vivian is still working in the office.&#8221; Angie was angry at this.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Vanessa was very smart. Because of her cleverness, she didn&#8217;t act as a shrew for the first time.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;My child, I&#8217;ve told her not to stay with William. I don&#8217;t know she was such a shameless woman.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Angie was holding her hand and shaking constantly. She said in a coquettish and angry way, &#8220;Mom, it didn&#8217;t work. She thought you were afraid of her.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry.&#8221; Vanessa patted her on the back of the hand, and there was a flash of light in her eyes. She showed politeness to her first. If Vivian was still so disrespectful, she had some way to deal with her.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But she was worried about her daughter more. Vanessa asked with concern, &#8220;Angie, I remember you have invited William for dinner. How is that?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When it came to William, Angie became sad and frowned, &#8220;What can I do? Since I said that, William has been ignoring me. Yesterday, I ordered dozens of lunches for his employees.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I&#8217;m still hungry and waiting for him to eat. At last, he went out with Selina and Vivian.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;It turns out that you are not willing to go out because of this these two days.&#8221; Vanessa nodded.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Then what do you want me to do? I can&#8217;t do it.&#8221; Angie was arrogant all the time. She made friends with Vivian because of her good temper. Now Vivian suddenly didn&#8217;t act as before, she was unwilling.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Moreover, the woman that she had looked down upon now had been staying with the man she loved. She couldn&#8217;t bear it.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;You are still too young.&#8221; Vanessa shook her head and said, &#8220;Men don&#8217;t like women&#8217;s sharp temperament. You just only push him further. At last, other women get into the hole.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Mom, what do you think I should do?&#8221; At the thought that William might be with other women, Angie felt that she couldn&#8217;t breathe out.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Why do you like him so much? What about other men?&#8221; Vanessa admitted that William was an excellent man, but there were still many excellent men.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Even though Angie had experienced things like that, it was possible for her to conceal it.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Angie immediately said unwillingly, &#8220;Mom, didn&#8217;t I tell you that I only love William? Besides, other men were relying on their family and doing bad things outside, I despise them.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Vanessa said with disapproval, &#8220;Look at you. I haven&#8217;t said anything about William. You are so anxious to protect him.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The present society ran on connections. Even if they didn&#8217;t do business, they couldn&#8217;t avoid the rules.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Mom, what can I do? Is William still angry about it? I dare not look for him now. Dad was urging me, and there is not much time.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Angie was also worried about this. She could wait, but her father didn&#8217;t have much time for her and William.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   If William didn&#8217;t want to come, then her father would find someone to meet her at once. She didn&#8217;t want to have a date with those men.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;He cared that you beat the woman. Talk to Vivian and William.&#8221; It was the point.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Mom, you want me to make up with that hypocritical woman? I don&#8217;t want it.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Angie refused Vanessa&#8217;s proposal without thinking. She couldn&#8217;t stand it for a second. Vivian&#8217;s existence was constantly reminding her of her original shame and betrayal.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;If you really care about William, then you should do that. If you don&#8217;t like William, I won&#8217;t force you, but you should go to blind date with the person introduced by me.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking at Roe, who had spent so much time seeing William, Vivian had a jealous feeling.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It seemed that the most important thing of herself had been divided in half.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She knew that she shouldn&#8217;t have such an idea.
