Chapter 23 Worthless Chapter 23 Worthless Compared to the harm inflicted by the Kins Family, the injuries she had sustained were insignific Angela had long stopped caring about such trivial wounds Queenir gently held Angelaâs hand and said. âCome home with me after school. Mom and Dad are still upset about your situation. Although our family doesnât have much money, we are financially stable. Everyone has a job, so itâs completely fine to support a college student like youâ
When Angela was living with her grandmother, she was the youngest child in the family. Life was a bit difficult, but no one let her sufler. However, ever since she returned to the Kins Family, although it seemer like they were living a comfortable life, in reality, it was worse than being a nanny. They couldnât see Angelaâs efforts and kindness at all and only favored Fanny, who had no blood relation.
These years. Angela has truly been living a difficult life. After thinking for a moment, Angela nodded and agreed so as not to worry Donald and the others. She also wanted to find out why her cousin developed. depression and took her own life over it.
Seeing Angelaâs agreement, Queenie felt relieved. She looked at the time on her wristwatch and was surprised. It was already half past twelve, and she had to hurry home to make lunch for her motherâinâlaw.
âItâs getting late. I have to go home and make lunch for my motherâinâlaw, Queenie hurriedly left, only able to give a few instructions. âAngela, pack your things in the afternoon, and Iâll come pick you up after you finish school.
Knowing that her cousinâs âs family was difficult to deal with, Angela didnât say much. She chose the nearest bus to send Queenie off. She remembered that after Queenie got married, her husband didnât let her go out to work, but the money in the family was managed by her motherâinâlaw. Every time she needed money, she could only ask her motherâinâlaw for it. If she took a cab back, she was afraid that her cousin would be accused of spending money recklessly.
In a hurry. Queenie arrived home a little faster. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the whole family sitting on the couch, looking at her with unwavering expressions. Queenie apologized with a guilty face, put down her bag, put on an apron, and went into the kitchen.
Iâm sorry, guys. I went to the school to see Angela and came back late. Iâll cook now, and lunch will be ready soon!â While saying this, Queenie was thinking about what dish to make.
Although his wife explained herself, Horace still looked displeased. He walked into the kitchen and angrily said, âQueenie, whatâs wrong with you? Look at the time now. I canât believe you didnât come back to cook. Itâs already one oâclock, and youâre letting our parents go hungry. Is this how a daughterâinâlaw should behave?
Before she left, she had told her motherâinâlaw that she might come back late.
Besides, if I didnât come back, couldnât they have made something themselves and had dinner? After thinking about it, Queenie didnât say these words out loud so as not to make her husband angry again. Besides, Angela was going to come and stay for a while, so she needed to discuss it with her husband. Queenie lowered her gaze and said softly, âItâs my fault. Next time, if I have something to do, Iâll cook the meal first and then go out. By then, my parents can just reheat it and eat.â
âMom is still angry, so apologize to her later.â Horaceâs tone was a bit impatient. âYouâre already married, sof why do you still care so much about your familyâs affairs?â Before Queenie came back just now, he had 1/3 15:54 Wed, 28 Feb c Chapter 23 Worthless been scolded by his mother for more than ten minutes.
+5 Free Cons Queenie was beautiful, gentle, and obedient to him. Horace quite liked her, but she just couldnât get along well with his mother, always making her and her husband angry.
Queenie prused as she washed the vegetables. âItâs Angela. There was a breakâin at home, and my parents are worried. Since I live nearby, Iâm going to check on them.
âAngela? Your uncleâs daughter?â Horace recalled and realized that Queenie was referring to her cousin from her uncleâs side of the family. He had briefly seen her at the wedding, and she was quite attractive.
Queenie nodded, surprised that her husband still remembered.
âSheâs in college, right? Has she started dating?â Horace asked.
Queenie looked at her husband in confusion. âNo, why?â
âI think your cousin is attractive. If sheâs not in a relationship, I can introduce her to someone.â Horace pondered for a moment.
âMy cousinâs son from my auntâs side of the family is still single. Felix. You met him at our wedding. They would make a good match if they hit it off.â
âAngela is still young; thereâs no need to worry about these things.â Queenie pursed her lips, not very pleased.
She remembered Felix, thanks to her motherâinâlawâs constant reminders. He was already in his thirties, still unmarried, enjoyed playing games and drinking, and didnât have a stable job. She didnât want t introduce someone like him to Angela.
âWhat do you mean sheâs still young? Itâs better to start dating when youâre young and get married after graduation. If a woman gets older, it becomes harder for her to find a partner.â Horace complained about the greasy fumes in the kitchen and coughed a few times. After uttering a few more words, he left. âTell your cousin about it. Introduce her, just in case sheâs interested. She has moved out and is living on her own now. Bring her home so that everyone can get to know her.â
You out first.â Queenie pursed her lips, her tone not very pleasant. âYou donât like the smell of oil fumes, and itâs hard to wash off from your clothes. You go out first.â
After seeing Queenie off, Angela hurried to the tea shop to save time.
Luckily, it wasnât far away. After about ten minutes, Angela arrived at the shop, panting. As she looked around, she saw groups of female classmates chatting and snacking on nuts. Selene was preparing milk tea behind the counter. It was Tuesday, so Ron should be at kindergarten.
Spotting Angela, Selene handed her the three cups of milk tea she had prepared. âThese drinks are for the three girls in the second row. They all ordered the same thing, so thereâs no need to separate them.â
Angela took a deep breath and nodded, carrying the milk tea to the second row. After placing the drinks on the table, she smiled politely at the girls. âHere is the red bean milk tea you ordered. Enjoy!â
The three girls paused their snacking on melon seeds and looked at Angela with different expressions. Wasnât she Fannyâs sister? It had only been a few days since she left the Kins Family, and now she was working partâtime at a milk tea shop.
15:54 Wed, 28 Fed Chapter 23 Worthless +5 Free Coins Her life had taken a different path. Even if she was the biological daughter of the Kins Family, what did it matter? There was no emotional connection. Fanny had been spoiled by the Kins Family for over ten years.
One of the girls took out a oneâdollar bill and threw it at Angelaâs face. âConsider this money as your tip since you look so pitiful.
Go buy something delicious!â
Angela frowned and looked at the girl who threw the money. She didnât know her, but one couldnât argue with money. Angela picked up the money and placed it in the tray, smiling calmly. âThank you for the tip.â Afterward, Angela walked away with the tray and placed it at the front counter. She whispered to Selene, âIt uld be great if there were more generous fools like this.â
Selene glanced at Angela. Despite her young age, she displayed an impressive composure. Even after being humiliated, she remained unfazed. It was truly rare!
The girl who threw the money at Angela silently chuckled as she saw her pick it up. There was a hint of mockery and a touch of contempt in her eyes. Sheâd do anything for money. What a lowly woman.
