"Your accident is really a lie."

Jasmine said with a cold face and shook Henry off.

With disgust in her eyes, she said, "I hate it when people lie to me, especially playboys like you. Is cheating funny to you?"

"I rushed over in such a hurry and wanted to act in front of you. But in fact, you are the audience. You just stand by and look at how I put on a show and reveal my ugly greediness. Do you think it is funny?"

Jasmine said in a low voice as if she was suppressing her anger.

She gave out a strong vibe.

Henry was instantly crushed.

The girl looked very serious, angry, and indifferent. She seemed to have many emotions, except love him.

Henry looked at her quietly. He wanted to hold Jasmine’s hand, but she shook him off.

He said in a small voice, "You are so good-looking. Why are you ugly?"

As he spoke, he smiled and said, "You are the prettiest girl in my eyes. Oh, my sister’s cosmetics are here. I’ll give some to you. They’re new. She hasn’t used them yet."

Jasmine thought, "Are you trying to piss me off?

"Is this time to discuss whether I am beautiful?"

"That’s enough. I want a truly capable man. I don’t like those who rely on their families, so I don’t like you."

Jasmine said in a serious tone.

If Henry had a little self-esteem, he should push her out of the door now.

However, Henry nodded, "I know. You said that you like my money."

"I have it. Other than people, there is only money in my home."

Henry said somewhat shyly. He hoped that Jasmine won’t despise him for his family being tacky.

Jasmine blinked.

Looking at Henry, she frowned and rolled her eyes.

She sneered, "So what if your family is rich? The money is not yours. You are already a young man, but you still have to listen to your brother and parents. I don’t want to be like you, who can only survive with the support of your brother."

Seeing that Henry was about to speak again, Jasmine hurriedly said, "Stay away from me from now on. I don’t want to see you. I don’t want to be with you at all."

As she turned around to leave, Jasmine’s gaze fell on the grocery bag beside Henry’s feet, and she immediately took it back.

She smiled. "The play is over. Your family is so rich, you shouldn’t mind me taking these things away, right?"

Henry nodded blankly. "I don’t mind."

Seeing Jasmine leaving, he hurriedly said, "Why don’t you stay and have a meal? I’ll treat you."

Jasmine thought, "Are you unable to understand my words? Or you have some psychological problems?"

She had already rejected him ruthlessly, but he still wanted to treat her to dinner.

Jasmine wondered whether she has to curse to sober Henry up.

Jasmine couldn’t hold it in any longer. She glared at him and coldly cursed, "Morbid!"

Then, she could not wait for Henry to overthrow her general impression of playboys.

She rushed out.

And she slammed the door behind her in case that Henry would want to chase after her.

Inside the door, Henry held his head speechlessly. He said sadly, "Why is she angry again? Have I said anything wrong?"

He just said as his two younger sisters taught him. Henry thought that his sisters were young and inexperienced. He shouldn’t listen to them the next time.

Their tricks did not work!

Downstairs, Jasmine stood at the threshold and heaved a sigh of relief. She looked down at the bag in her hand and frowned.

She just wanted to see him. Seeing that he was fine, she was relieved now.

Holding the grocery in her arms, Jasmine walked out of the community.

She had taken a leave at the supermarket today. Now, she could go to the market to buy some ingredients and cook a delicious meal for her mother.

Ever since they settled down in City A, her mother’s health had been getting worse. Jasmine accompanied her to eat every meal, but she knew that her mother ate less and less.

She had to make money quickly and send her mother to the hospital.

Among the shops around Henry’s apartment, there was a café and an ice cream store.

Two attractive girls came out of the store with ice cream. They looked exactly the

same.

"Anna, Henry is so stupid. Can he succeed?"

Annabelle bit the ice cream in her hand and replied, "If he could, he would have been in love long ago!"

Fiona nodded in agreement and couldn’t help but sigh.

"I don’t know why. Henry is so useless that he couldn’t even deal with a woman. If it wasn’t for Andrew, maybe there won’t be the next generation of our family. Andrew is promising."

Annabelle nodded, "The survival of the fittest."

To put it bluntly, Andrew was genuine while Henry was an imitation.

They looked the same but the quality was completely different.

No wonder the government appealed to everyone to support the genuine and resist

pirated products...

...

Annabelle and Fiona walked by the side of the road, eating the ice cream.

When they looked up, they and Jasmine on the opposite side were dumbfounded. "Anna, what should we do? She seems to be our sister-in-law." Fiona said in a small voice. She shrank behind Annabelle worriedly.

It didn’t matter. If something happened, she still had her sister to take the blame. Annabelle said calmly, "Her eyes are red." Only then did Fiona look towards Jasmine.

Sure enough, her eyes were red and tears were hanging on her eyelashes. She must have cried just now.

"Hasn’t Henry done something bad, has he?"

Fiona covered her mouth. Her eyes were shining with excitement.

She stared at Jasmine with curiosity.

She did not expect that Henry would bully a girl and make her cry.

Fiona imagined the image of Jasmine in Henry’s arms crying.

She was so excited.

But she was a child. She was not supposed to know these things. Fiona covered her little face and snickered. Henry was a bad guy! Annabelle rolled her eyes at her younger sister and walked towards Jasmine.

Jasmine was stunned for a moment. When she saw Annabelle walking towards her, she felt nervous and subconsciously tightened her grip on the bag in her arms. Her lips were pursed into a thin line.

"Hello, I’m Annabelle. That’s my sister Fiona. Henry is our second brother." Annabelle calmly extended her hand towards Jasmine. She tersely introduced their identities and relationships.

Jasmine was stunned again and quickly held her hand, "Hello, I am Jasmine. I am Henry’s classmate."

She recognized Annabelle as the girl who came to the supermarket with Henry last time.

However, she did not expect that there was another girl behind her.

Moreover, the two of them looked exactly the same. The twins were so similar.

Jasmine said with some uncertainty, "Are you guys siblings or cousins?"

If they were siblings, then their parents had given birth to two pairs of twins and all looked so similar.

She felt that this was a violation of scientific probability.

"Aren’t we very different from Henry?"

Fiona leaned forward and smiled, "Henry is such a fool. He is the only exception in our family."

As she spoke, Fiona gestured "one" with her finger.

Jasmine was stunned. Although they were siblings, she felt a little uncomfortable to hear Fiona criticizing Henry.

She couldn’t help but say, "Henry isn’t a fool. He knows his role."

An outstanding son was enough for the Anderson family. If there are more brilliant sons, they would compete against each other.

Although she had no experience of the grudges between these rich and powerful families, she more or less understood the basic rules.

It was also good to lead a content and simple life like Henry.

If she could, she also wanted to live like that.

"He bullied you, yet you still sided with him," Fiona frowned.

This was the first time she heard someone praise Henry.

Love was blind.

Fiona pitied that Jasmine had such beautiful eyes yet failed to see Henry’s flaws.

"He didn’t bully me," Jasmine hurriedly explained.

Obviously, Fiona didn’t believe her.

If he didn’t bully you, why are your eyes red? You looked so sad just now. We saw it." Fiona said proudly.

Henry was not completely useless. He also had some merits. He learned to love earlier than Andrew.

Andrew hasn’t had a target yet, while Henry already made a girl cry.

Jasmine said anxiously, "I didn’t."

She turned around to leave.

However, she thought of something and handed them a bag of fruits. "I was in a hurry and forgot to put it down. Can you give these to him?"

"And please don’t tell him that I bought these."

Jasmine said hesitantly, "I know, these are nothing to you."

But it cost her a few days’ living expenses. There were some imported fruits. She couldn’t afford to eat them usually.

"Why don’t you give it to him yourself?"

Fiona frowned. She didn’t want to carry the bag. Annabelle took it and said, "Okay, I will give it to him."

Seeing that her gifts were accepted, Jasmine revealed a gentle smile.

She nodded and left.

Fiona looked at her back and asked, "Anna, why do you take these? Henry is not sick."

Annabelle glanced at the fruits in her hand and said lightly, "There are some strawberries in it."

Henry disliked strawberries the most, but she liked it!

...

Jasmine bought some vegetables and some ribs, which was rare for them.

She and Jenny didn’t eat much. These were enough for two days.

Jenny was a little surprised to see her return so early.

Although she had been trapped in a little hut, she was still clear-headed.

Jasmine walked forward, placed a pillow under her back, and barely managed to help Jenny sit up.

"Why are you back so early?"

Jenny coughed as she spoke but she quickly suppressed it.

"We don’t have a class tonight."

Jasmine didn’t dare to tell her that she worked from afternoon until night every day.

She lied to Jenny that she went to the library or had classes.

Occasionally, she went home earlier and made her words more trustworthy.

"I am busy applying for postgraduate study. I still need to submit an essay. Mom, I might come back later tomorrow."

Jasmine chatted with Jenny as she worried about the meager salary at the supermarket. Jenny was getting worse and she wanted to take her to the hospital as early as possible.

Jenny never doubted her about her study.

She smiled weakly and said, "Don’t worry about me. Keep your heart in studying." She couldn’t even sit up by herself. How could Jasmine not worry?

Jasmine pursed her lips. Although she felt worried, she still put on a smile towards Jenny.

"I know. I’ll put the meal next to you and clean it up when I come back. When I graduate, I’ll provide you with a good life."

Although a diploma from Sun City University would give her a good start, it did not mean much. It was too difficult to strive for a better life by working for others.

They both knew it, but they still comforted each other.

"Okay, as long as you study well and live well, Mom will be much better." Jasmine did not say anything and just went to the kitchen.

She just wanted to be with her mother. She was not that into studying.

She studied well only to make Jenny happy.

Jenny was her only family now.

Jasmine cooked dinner. It was rare for them to have dinner so early.

There were fireworks outside the window.

They lived near the suburbs. It was a dilapidated private building.

But it was cheap and had good lighting.

"Is New Year’s Day coming?"

Jenny asked with a trace of expectation.

It would be a new year soon. Time passed so quickly.

"Yes, the day after tomorrow. The holiday will start tomorrow. Let’s make some delicious food on New Year’s Day."

Jasmine wanted to cheer Jenny up. Jenny smiled and said, "How old are you? Can’t correct you from being a glutton."

Jasmine did not mind Jenny’s teasing. She leaned on her shoulder and said, "No matter how old I am, I am always your daughter."

If she could go back to her childhood, she hoped that she could always be five-year-old.

Sun City was bleak in the deep winter.

The leaves had already fallen. There were only bare branches along the roads.

The sky gradually darkened. Sporadic sparks were rising from the suburbs to the sky.

Then they bloomed into fireworks. They were beautiful, but each only lasted for seconds.

Jasmine had just come out of a nightclub where she worked now. She saw someone standing outside the door.

The nightclub was near her home so that she could get back earlier.

She earned less than before. But the money was still very important to her. "You’re off work."

Henry smiled when he saw Jasmine.

Walking forward, he took out a cup of hot milk tea.

Jasmine glanced at him but did not take it. She only asked coldly, "How do you know that I am here?"

She changed the workplace to avoid him.

Unexpectedly, Henry was even more capable than she had thought.

"Are you cold? Have some milk tea. It will warm you up."

Obviously, Henry had no intention of answering her. He stuffed the milk tea into her hands.

Then warmth spread out from her palm. Jasmine pursed her lips and lowered her head as she said coldly, "Don’t come again." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
