Twinkling Star

"You are overthinking, I just can't stand Conor." Joseph replied dryly.

Bob and Stephen smiled at each other.

They just keep it tacit.

Home should be the warmest place.

But Elizabeth had a cold home.

Seeing Elizabeth come back from LH City dragging suitcase, Maisie, her mother did not show concern about her, but said cynically, "Why do you work in a big city with low academic qualification? You are overestimating yourself!"

"Mom, I have not graduated so it is not easy to find a job without graduation certificate!" Elizabeth countered.

Maisie was still contemptuous, "Drop out of your school. Anyway, it is a waste of money. What can you do even if you get the diploma? You just have a degree in junior college school, no company in a big city wants you."

Maisie's words like a sword stabbed in the heart of Elizabeth. She did not want to talk with Maisie anymore and went upstairs carrying the suitcase.

She wasn't supposed to come back!

"You're not half as good as Winnie! And don't wish me and your dad to pay for your second year of college!"

Maisie shouted at the top of her voice.

Winnie was Elizabeth's cousin and a daughter from a rich family. Maisie liked her so much that Elizabeth had a kind of illusion that Winnie Rees was born by her mother and she was adopted. Elizabeth slammed the door, with tears falling down her face. She was not in the mood to have dinner.

She heard that Maisie saying to her father Martin outside the door, "Elizabeth is useless! Winnie studies in foreign first-class undergraduate university and won the first-class scholarship every semester! Elizabeth is not a match to her!"

"Elizabeth gets the first scholarship every semester too! Honey, don't say that, Winnie is Elizabeth's cousin, and your sister has married into a rich family, so we cannot compare between them." Elizabeth's was impatient.

Maisie said, "Why not? Elizabeth's scholarship of the ordinary school was not the same with that of Winnie. They were both born in the same room on the same day, but how could they be so different?" But the difference was normal, anyway Elizabeth was not...

"Honey, actually Elizabeth is not..."

Martin interrupted the thoughts of Maisie.

Maisie was sensitive, wondering if her husband had known about the things of Elizabeth.

Martin changed the subject and sighed bitterly, "It is not that Elizabeth did badly in the college entrance examination, but that in order to take care of me and raise my medical expenses, she spent her study time in taking care of me in the hospital and taking part-time jobs to earn money. That was why she failed in the exam!"

Maisie felt relieved and answered disapprovingly, "She is your daughter and she should take care of you! Otherwise, I have kept her for eighteen years in vain!"

How indifferent her mother was to her.

Elizabeth suffered from her mother's sarcastic remarks during these days she stayed at home.

No matter how diligent she was at home, washing clothes, cooking, helping to take care of the family pharmacy, her mother always had endless dissatisfaction and complaints with her.

When having dinner on one day, Maisie suddenly mentioned Snow Sue.

"Elizabeth! Snow and you are college classmates! I heard that Snow has a rich boyfriend in LH City. Her boyfriend gives her pocket money like hundreds of thousands a month! Now, Snow not only

ovel.

bought her grandparents a three-story house in our town, but also built a four-story villa in our village. It is said that there is a garden in front, and vegetable garden with a pond behind!" Maisie said while she was eating.

Maisie said with envy.

Elizabeth froze for a moment. Suddenly she remembered something, and soon she pretended nothing had happened and went on eating.

She knew Snow suddenly had a fiance and was get married, but she did not expect Snow's fiance was so rich that he gave Snow hundreds of thousands of pocket money every month. Snow had always been a spendthrift, so she could spend out that money in a month.

"Elizabeth, you are beautiful than

The Romis

Snow, but you are bad at choosing a man. What is good about Conor? He is just the only one undergraduate student in LH City University from our village! His family is poor and his tuition was collected from the villagers. He is far worse than Snow's boyfriend. I don't know why you like him. And you stilbwant to marry him after graduation, and help. him take care of his father and

mother at home, and his old and sick grandparents!" Maisie rambled

on.

When mentioning of Conor, Elizabeth put the bowl and chopsticks heavily on the table, which gave her parents a fright.

"He and I have broken up, now you are satisfied!" Elizabeth roared with tears in eyes.

Maisie was angry immediately, and then scolded angrily, "How dare you roar? Do you show some respect? What does it matter to me if you break up? What right do you have to yell at me?" "Honey, don't say that!" Martin said with a sigh.

In fact, compared to Conor's family, Elizabeth's family was not good either.

Her mother ran a small Pharmacy with a dozen square meters on the first floor of the family in this small town. Her father had bad legs, so he could only sit in front of the revenue desk to collect money. Moreover, because of her father's leg illness, the family owed some debts to relatives and friends.

As for her brother...

Although he had a job, he needed to take money from the family every month.

Maisie breathed a sigh of relief and

relaxed her tone lightly. After

glancing at Elizabeth, she said, "Aren't you and Snow are best friend? You go and talk to her and

ask her to help you out and give you some money so you can finish college."

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Elizabeth became angry immediately.
