Part 2The Jealous Cousin's Trap

I grew up poor.

Because my dad is a foolishly filial person.

He is the eldest in the family, back then my dad should have taken over grandpa's job, but uncle cried two made noise three hung himself, my dad gave the job to him.

When young I didn't feel anything.

Just envied cousin Heather had endless beautiful clothes since childhood, endless toys, piano to play.

And relatives obviously more enthusiastic to cousin than to me.

But when grew up, this difference became obvious.

Cousin didn't study well, uncle and aunt sent her abroad to mix a degree.

Cousin just returned from studying abroad, their family bought her house and car in our county town.

Also pulled strings for her to be a music teacher in a private school in our county.

Honestly I was very envious of these in my heart.

Because I still live with my parents, living in an old walk-up apartment from decades ago.

As for having my own house and car, that is something I dare not even think about.

So in my heart, I felt although cousin was a bit arrogant, it was understandable, after all she had house, car, confidence, capital to be arrogant.

And me, only place stronger than her probably is passing the civil service exam, got a Government Job.

In other places might feel nothing, but in our small town, this is the iron rice bowl.

Put it this way, in elders' eyes, even if you earn millions a year, it's not as good as holding that few thousand dollars dead salary of government job.

After getting government job, because I work relatively serious and responsible, personality also good, I got lucky again.

Our unit head introduced his comrade's child to me——blind date Connor, a wealthy heir.

Of course definitely can't compare with those New York listed company heirs.

But in our small county town also a person with face.

Connor's dad and our unit head have iron relationship.

And his mom is principal of a key high school here, name is household known.

And Connor's grandpa is in business, doing heating business in city, I don't quite understand, but know enterprise very big very profitable.

As for his grandpa, opened a private dental clinic here, specialized in children teeth correction, is a dental clinic parents here relatively recognize.

And Connor himself condition also not bad, working as pediatrician in county hospital, personality gentle emotion stable.

Connor parents both single children, Connor is their only child, degree of spoiling no need me say more.

Can say, finding such a partner is blessing I got from eight lifetimes.

If not our unit head pulling strings, I might not even have chance to know this kind of person.

And after dating Connor, not only my living standard straight line rose, even unit colleagues attitude to me also became more gentle.

Because all know I found a wealthy heir, still unit boss pulled string, no one would be full to trouble me.

That time I really like fell into honey pot.

But previous life I didn't cherish.

Maybe because family poor since small some inferior, suddenly got such good luck, bit not quite confident.

Plus that time I relatively worshipped cousin, felt she saw much knowledge wide, told her about dating, said my confusion.

And after listening me finish, cousin expression obviously stiffened a bit.

Then said: "Sarah, I feel marriage still matching door matching household good, your family condition so bad, won't be looked down by their family right?"

"You think, when you gather together, his parents talk about politics, your parents talk about workshop gossip, can they have common language?"

"And rich people relatively hard to get along, definitely will various look down on you target you, you willing suffer this anger lifetime?"

I heard then heart thumped a bit.

Because I indeed have this worry.

After all two families gap really too big.

Then since then, not much contact cousin suddenly enthusiastic up, time to time send me message.

Today say you don't put posture too low, go his house just sit don't do anything, otherwise later married you have work to do!

Tomorrow say why partner New Year not accompany you? Such important holiday miss he just no heart.

Day after tomorrow say I feel their family look down on you? Otherwise why only give you money? Feel like smashing people with money? Isn't this insulting people?

I also don't know what happened, said by her psychology slowly changed, got carried away, started be awkward.

When talking marriage with Connor, demands changed again and again.

Today dislike wedding photos taken in Cleveland not high class enough, want go New York or Paris retake.

Tomorrow demand their family buy me a Porsche, must be Cayenne!

Finally, eve of engagement, I think my brain that time should really flooded by sea, actually demanded later have a child take my last name!

This directly touched opponent parents' bottom line.

My parents knew angry scolded me crazy, asked if my heart covered by lard? Nothing find trouble?

I now think yes, my family poor like this child take my last name for what?

Inherit my family that old broken small apartment?

However that time I like possessed.

Who persuade also not listen!

Feel you not agree is not love me, your family just look down on me, look down on our family!

Now like this then later what?

I started put high posture, cold violence Connor, not answer phone not reply text not meet.

Later, groom family patience ran out.

Wedding directly cancelled.
