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 Angela’s hand and said. “Come home with me after school. Mom and Dad are still upset about your situation. Although our family doesn’t have much money, we are financially stable. Everyone has a job, so it’s completely fine to support a college student like you”
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 couldn’t see Angela’s 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 Angela’s 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 mother–in–law.
“It’s getting late. I have to go home and make lunch for my mother–in–law, Queenie hurriedly left, only able to give a few instructions. “Angela, pack your things in the afternoon, and I’ll come pick you up after you finish school.
Knowing that her cousin’s
‘s family was difficult to deal with, Angela didn’t say much. She
chose the nearest bus to send Queenie off. She remembered that after Queenie got married, her husband didn’t let her go out to work, but the money in the family was managed by her mother–in–law. Every time she needed money, she could only ask her mother–in–law 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.
I’m sorry, guys. I went to the school to see Angela and came back late. I’ll cook now, and lunch will be ready soon!” 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, “Queenie, what’s wrong with you? Look at the time now. I can’t believe you didn’t come back to cook. It’s already one o’clock, and you’re letting our parents go hungry. Is this how a daughter–in–law should
behave?
Before she left, she had told her mother–in–law that she might come back late.
Besides, if I didn’t come back, couldn’t they have made something themselves and had dinner? After thinking about it, Queenie didn’t 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, “It’s my fault. Next time, if I have something to do, I’ll cook the meal first and then go out. By then, my parents can just reheat it and eat.”
“Mom is still angry, so apologize to her later.” Horace’s tone was a bit impatient. “You’re already married, sof why do you still care so much about your family’s affairs?” Before Queenie came back just now, he had

been scolded by his mother for more than ten minutes.

Queenie was beautiful, gentle, and obedient to him. Horace quite liked her, but she just couldn’t get along well with his mother, always making her and her husband angry.
Queenie prused as she washed the vegetables. “It’s Angela. There was a break–in at home, and my parents are worried. Since I live nearby, I’m going to check on them.
“Angela? Your uncle’s daughter?” Horace recalled and realized that Queenie was referring to her cousin from her uncle’s 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.
“She’s in college, right? Has she started dating?” Horace asked.
Queenie looked at her husband in confusion. “No, why?”
“I think your cousin is attractive. If she’s not in a relationship, I can introduce her to someone.” Horace pondered for a moment. “My cousin’s son from my aunt’s 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.”
“Angela is still young; there’s no need to worry about these things.” Queenie pursed her lips, not very pleased.
She remembered Felix, thanks to her mother–in–law’s constant reminders. He was already in his thirties, still unmarried, enjoyed playing games and drinking, and didn’t have a stable job. She didn’t want t introduce someone like him to Angela.
“What do you mean she’s still young? It’s better to start dating when you’re young and get married after graduation. If a woman gets older, it becomes harder for her to find a partner.” Horace complained about the greasy fumes in the kitchen and coughed a few times. After uttering a few more words, he left. “Tell your cousin about it. Introduce her, just in case she’s interested. She has moved out and is living on her own now. Bring her home so that everyone can get to know her.”
You
out first.” Queenie pursed her lips, her tone not very pleasant. “You don’t like the smell of oil fumes, and it’s hard to wash off from your clothes. You go out first.”
After seeing Queenie off, Angela hurried to the tea shop to save time.
Luckily, it wasn’t 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. “These drinks are for the three girls in the second row. They all ordered the same thing, so there’s no need to separate them.”
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. “Here is the red bean milk tea you ordered. Enjoy!”
The three girls paused their snacking on melon seeds and looked at Angela with different expressions. Wasn’t she Fanny’s sister? It had only been a few days since she left the Kins Family, and now she was working part–time at a milk tea shop.

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 one–dollar bill and threw it at Angela’s face. “Consider this money as your tip since you look so pitiful. Go buy something delicious!”
Angela frowned and looked at the girl who threw the money. She didn’t know her, but one couldn’t argue with money. Angela picked up the money and placed it in the tray, smiling calmly. “Thank you for the tip.” Afterward, Angela walked away with the tray and placed it at the front counter. She whispered to Selene, “It
uld be great if there were more generous fools like this.”
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. She’d do anything for money. What a lowly woman.
