Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 422: Self-esteem

Xu Weiwei looked back with some doubts in her eyes.

She remembered that the heroine's living expenses were not abundant during this period, and her adoptive parents were farmers or something.

Maybe I remembered it wrong, maybe it's not that difficult.

Su Mang separated from the crowd and walked alone on the way back to the dormitory. When she passed by the salad shop, she just took a look and went to the bun shop in front to buy buns without stopping.

But after coming out, her steps began to become slow and hesitant. She had already walked a hundred meters, turned back, and packed a salad that was the cheapest in the store.

I went home and finished both of them. I crumpled the plastic bag and threw it into the trash can, but the box of salad remained on the table untouched.

She didn't lie. She had eaten the salad from this restaurant before. But she didn't buy it with her own money.

That day she went to the library alone and was approached by a boy on the way.

In the first few days after adding her contact information, the other party always ordered takeout for her and kept asking her out. Later, when he found that Su Mang was unmoved, he quickly changed his target and stopped contacting her.

She lied that she ordered the takeaway herself, and was afraid that Wang Jingyi would find out, so she would tear off the order and throw it into the trash can downstairs before going upstairs every time.

She didn't want to establish herself as someone with a wealthy family, and she did so because she was afraid that others would say she accepted things from others without thinking.

She didn't say a word when Wang Jingyi was complaining just now, because Wang Jingyi's embarrassing situation was also her embarrassing situation.

It's just that although Wang Jingyi could say it shamelessly, her self-esteem would not allow her to do so.

When Selvie said she wanted to treat everyone to a meal, she naturally brought her along. In her mind, she and Wang Jingyi were in the same category.

She admitted that she was also the kind of person who couldn't afford to eat and had a hard life.

Why.

She hates other people's sympathy and pity the most.

That's why she was so desperate to prove herself. Although she spent an extra amount of money, she didn't regret it. Because judging from Wang Jingyi's reaction, her goal had been achieved.

She would do it again.

I just have to think about how to get on with life next.

Before coming to the Imperial Capital, she felt that 50,000 yuan was a large sum of money, enough for her to live comfortably. But soon, she found that the balance on her computer was decreasing at an alarming rate.

The budget originally planned for each month was simply not enough.

There were two rich girls, Li Yan and Selvie, in her dormitory. Eating with them in one day would cost her a week's living expenses. The two of them almost never went to the window of the public cafeteria and never looked at the price when ordering food.

She and Wang Jingyi were not shameless enough to eat and drink for free, so they would split the bill, and occasionally, if the dishes they ordered were not expensive, they would even treat them back.

Apart from the big expense of food, transportation is also a considerable expense.

She never thought that one day she would need to take a bus to go to class. Including the round trip, she would have to take the bus at least six times to meet her daily travel needs. Although the school has commuter buses, light rail and underground rail, they are all in great demand.

Often you still have to spend money to rent a car, and the cost is almost as much as the cost of eating.

She brought almost nothing with her when school started, and bought much more things than Wang Jingyi. She only had a little over 45,000 star coins left from the 50,000 she had when she left.

At this rate of spending, we won’t be able to sustain it for long.

She didn't want to lower her living standards and expose her embarrassment, especially in front of Selvie.

Sometimes she would calm down and think about where her desire to compare herself with others came from. When she was in middle school, there were many classmates around her who came from wealthy families. Why didn't she feel this depressed at that time?

It was not until later that Su Mang realized that this feeling was called powerlessness.

Standing on the ground and looking at a small hill, even if you don't climb it, you will think in your heart, "I just don't want to climb it, not that I can't climb it." But when a peak stands in front of you and you can't climb it no matter what, and you can clearly realize this, you will only feel pain and despair, and the resentment that arises from it.

Su Mang hasn't thought these things through yet. All she's thinking about now is how to live a good college life while maintaining the status quo.

It was unrealistic to ask her family for money. She knew how poor that family was.

The only way out is to find a way to make money.

In terms of prosperity, no planet can compare to the God's Capital Planet. There are countless ways to make money here. In the early years, she saw a blogger doing a low-cost entrepreneurial challenge, and he earned more than a thousand star coins in a day, which was almost as much as some people in their area earned in a month.

It is said that rich people are willing to spend money on their children and do not care about the tuition fees. Tens of thousands of star coins per lesson are all basic operations.

She just didn't believe that she couldn't support herself by doing odd jobs.

Su Mang decided to go out and look for her this weekend.

Xu Weiwei had asked for leave for the morning classes, so she had breakfast with Li Yan and Wang Jingyi and then called the family driver to pick them up.

In less than 20 minutes, the shuttle landed directly in the school's open-air parking lot. Xu Weiwei got in and the door slid back into place.

Some people looked at the "black meteor" passing overhead and gossiped with their friends, "Which family heir is going out to have fun?"

Four hours passed quickly in the immersive work.

Xu Weiwei had lunch with her family again, played with Beta, and returned to school before the first class in the afternoon. She even took a nap in the car.

"Weier is too tired. Does she have to run back and forth like this every day?" The old lady's face was full of heartache.

"How about we free up a floor in the school so that Dr. Zhang and his team can move there? Or we can build a new building."

Mrs. Seaforth thought about it carefully and said regretfully, "No, it's not worth it."

"How can you say it's not worth it? My baby is comfortable! Convenient! More important than anything else!"

"No, Mom, you're thinking the wrong way. Let me explain it to you." Mrs. Seaforth counted on her fingers and explained, "According to the shuttle's fastest flight speed, it only takes Wei'er seventeen minutes to get home from school."

"But you can't fly inside the school. Chenxi University is very large, and it takes at least five minutes to get from one landmark to another. No matter where the laboratory is built, it will be inconvenient. In two more minutes, Wei'er will be home."

“We still see her quite often.”

"Huh? That's right. That makes sense." The old lady nodded in approval.

"And didn't you hear Wei'er say during dinner just now that she has learned all these lessons on her own? The teacher has granted her a special privilege so that she can skip classes and only take the final exam."

Mrs. Seaforth's expression was full of pride and honor as a mother when she said this. "Otherwise, how could she have time to come back today?"

"She said she had one last visit today, and from now on she can stay home until the afternoon."

"Oh, that's great! How can this child be so smart?" The old lady laughed so hard that her eyes disappeared.
