Chapter 355: The Secret Already Known
Chapter 355: The Secret Already Known
"Su Mang, it's not that easy to get by in the Imperial Capital. Even if you graduate from Dawn University and have a good education, without a family background, you are still at the bottom of society."
"Stay."
As the meal was about to end, Yao Zhongbu finally spoke up.
Su Mang was upset. What she hated most was when people talked about her family background. This was the case during her years studying on Planet 818. Those people were jealous of her beauty and good grades, so they could only use her only weakness to attack her.
That contemptuous, disdainful look, that superior attitude.
As they passed by, she appeared calm on the surface, but in her heart she was already imagining slapping them in the face with her hand.
"Thank you for your kindness," Su Mang forced a smile. "But Chenxi University is a place that many people admire. I can't give it up."
Yao Zhongbu left disappointed.
Su Mang sat in her seat and slowly savored the cold steak.
Of course she knew that it was not easy to survive in the Imperial Capital Star. Although Yao Zhongbu's words were harsh, they were true. But she had her reasons for going there.
Putting down the knife and fork, Su Mang wiped his mouth and called his only friend.
About half an hour later, a girl who was simply dressed and lively came to the restaurant to meet her.
As soon as they met, he gave her a warm hug and said congratulations. Turning around, he saw the tableware for two people, as well as red wine, and his expression immediately changed.
"That Yao Zhongbu is bothering you again?"
"I have already made it clear to him." Su Mang said with a smile.
The girl poked her forehead and said unhappily, "You are too soft-hearted! You always consider other people's thoughts and feelings. Think more about yourself!"
"Okay Taozi, I asked you to come here to accompany me shopping, not to listen to you scold me." Su Mang pulled her hand and said coquettishly.
"Okay~ Today I will follow Miss Su Mang's instructions~" Taozi deliberately lengthened her tone and bowed with her knees slightly bent.
Su Mang burst out laughing.
The two sisters walked hand in hand on the street intimately. Taozi asked her, "What do you want to buy?"
"Buy some new clothes, as well as skin care products, cosmetics, sunscreen, etc. When we get to the Imperial Star, I'm afraid everything there will be too expensive. It's better to buy them at home and bring them with me so I don't have to worry."
"Okay, is there any more?"
"I also need to buy a computer, or a tablet, and I don't know which one to choose." Su Mang said in confusion.
Taozi thought for a moment and suggested, "A computer. Although it's a bit heavier, it has everything you need and can be used in any scenario. Tablets have too high a requirement for the laser keyboard function."
"A good one would cost at least tens of thousands. With this price, I can buy a computer with much higher configuration."
Taozi was also a girl from a wealthy family, and her family had both of these things. Therefore, Su Mang did not hesitate to give her suggestion and nodded directly, "Okay, then let's go with a computer."
When they entered the store, the salesperson first introduced the expensive computer to the two of them. Taozi saw that the price of the computer after the discount was more than 10,000 yuan, and directly refused on behalf of her friend: "This one is too expensive. We don't need such a good one. An ordinary one will do."
She understood her friend's family situation and there was no need for her to waste her time listening to the salesperson.
"General... This one is pretty good. It's a classic model that came out three years ago. The configuration is still very good today, with an M3 chip, a 13-inch screen, and 64G of memory..."
"After the back-to-school season discount, it only costs 5699 star coins. The original price is more than . It's a good deal now..."
The salesperson was trying hard to sell it, and Taozi thought that her friend couldn't afford it at this price. She simply told him to buy it between 3,000 and 4,000 yuan. If that didn't work, she seemed to have an old computer at home that was not being used.
"Okay, this is it."
Su Mang's voice sounded beside him.
Taozi turned to look at her in surprise: "More than five thousand! Are you sure?"
The salesperson went to the warehouse to get the goods with a smile on his face, and then wrote out the order and handed it to her.
Su Mang calmly paid and signed. Then she said to the salesperson, "Leave the computer here first. I'll come back later to get it."
"Okay, no problem, take care!"
After coming out, Su Mang explained with a smile: "I have a scholarship for college. My parents agreed that I can spend it freely. You always treated me to delicious food in the past. Whatever you want today, just ask."
"Ah! That's great!" Taozi jumped up and hugged her.
"You are a little rich woman now! A rich woman is supporting me!"
"Hahahaha!"
Having said that, Taozi didn't go too far. It was Su Mang who paid for some snacks and inexpensive gadgets.
After shopping for half a day, Su Mang gained a lot and carried several bags of goods.
The two were tired from walking, so they went into a coffee shop and sat down to rest.
Taozi lay on the table, sighing sadly: "I really miss you. I don't know when the next time we can go out to play like this will be. Woo~ I wish we were in the same school..."
Su Mang comforted her, "Even though we are separated, we are still good friends. I will come back every year. You can also go to the Imperial Capital Star to visit me."
"By then I'll be familiar with the place and can even be your tour guide."
Taozi was a little happier: "Okay, from now on I will also have connections in the capital!"
After laughing, the air became quiet again, and the atmosphere of parting filled the air. Both of them were reluctant to leave each other.
Su Mang bit the straw, struggled for a long time, and suddenly said: "Taozi, let me tell you a secret."
Taozi raised her head slightly: "What secret? Is there anything else you have that I don't know?"
Su Mang didn't know whether she should tell it or not. It always makes people feel uneasy when secrets are exposed. But this matter has been in her heart for too long, and she really wants to find someone to talk to.
"You have to promise me not to tell anyone else." Su Mang looked into her eyes and said seriously.
"What's going on? Why is it so mysterious..." Taozi slowly sat up straight.
"You swear, or I won't tell you."
Taozi raised three fingers and said, "Okay, okay, I swear: I will not tell anyone else what Su Mang tells me next, or I will make me gain ten pounds. Okay?"
Su Mang leaned closer and lowered her voice, "Actually, I'm not my parents' biological child."
