Sweet Twins Indulge in Daddy's Love
Chapter 184 Get What We Need

Nancy was checking if there was any improvement on her foot injury.

Although it still hurt a lot, the swelling had subsided and it wasn't as swollen as before.

In another one or two days, it would be as good as new.

"Hey, look! Isn't that Nancy over there?" Kathy Jiang said as both she and Tina Su happened to pass by.

She had seen Nancy first and pointed her out to Tina Su.

"Yes, I wonder why she's here though," said Tina Su in surprise.

Looking at the Lamborghini that Nancy was in, Kathy Jiang sneered enviously, "She's in a luxury car? Why would she even be riding in one?"

"Do you think Nancy is now dating a rich man that's why she can now ride in a luxury car? echoed Tina Su disapprovingly.

Nancy, however, was oblivious to their conversation. She was so focused on her foot and didn't care about what they were talking about.

Besides, they hadn't seen each other after their university days. Even if they were to bump into each other on the streets, they would probably not be able to recognize each other immediately.

Kathy Jiang impatiently knocked on the car window while snugly saying, "Hey, Nancy, we are talking to you. Can you not hear and see us?"

Nancy raised her head and finally noticed the two girls standing outside the car. She carefully looked at them with a faint recognition, "Kathy? And Tina? Is it you guys?"

While they were in university, they didn't belong to the same group. Kathy Jiang and Tina Su were the daughters of the rich families, whereas Nancy and Doris belonged to the opposite, being children of the poor families.

As the saying went, birds of a feather flock together.

The rich kids would stick together and always stay on the same side, forming their own clique.

Therefore, they didn't belong to the same crowd. Both Kathy Jiang and Tina Su looked down upon Nancy and Doris because of their social status.

They didn't have much interaction with each other either since they had different circle of friends. Simply said, they were just classmates in university and had nothing to do with each other.

"What a coincidence! What brings you here?" Nancy addressed them out of politeness when she saw them. She was a woman who didn't want to be indifferent to others and thus greeted them warmly. She smiled blandly at them without any malice on her mind.

Kathy Jiang, however, had a different interpretation. In her eyes, Nancy was showing off.

"Nancy, it seems you struck gold and have now become a rich person. Such a luxurious car! Have you hooked up with a rich man?" Kathy Jiang asked candidly.

Since they were at the gate of the supermarket, many people were coming and going. Nancy didn't want to attract too much attention on herself.

"It's not mine. It's a friend's car," she said timidly.

"Is it your boyfriend's? You really are something! How were you able to hook up with such a rich boyfriend?" Kathy Jiang said disdainfully, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"How about you two? Do you now have boyfriends?" Nancy asked as she tried to change the subject.

"Of course we do. Tina's boyfriend is an affluent senior executive of a company. And my boyfriend... He is a returnee and is very successful. He comes from a very rich family!" After a pause, Kathy Jiang continued with emphasis, "Most importantly, he is also young and very handsome. By the way, Tina is going to be engaged soon.

Tina, you have to invite us to your engagement party!"

"Of course I will! But will you be able to come, Nancy?" Tina Su said in a degrading manner.

"If you were to give me an invitation, why not? I will definitely attend!" said Nancy with a smile, not taking her snide remarks seriously.

"Hey, Nancy, tell us, is your boyfriend named Charles? Rumor has it that he has a child. Are you really willing to take on the responsibility of being his child's stepmother just for the sake of money?" Kathy Jiang asked conspiringly as she lowered her voice, all the while pretending to be concerned.

Nancy just looked at her unabashedly with a smile on her lips.

She wasn't in a hurry to refute the rumors nor defend herself against it.

She was never close with them for her to call them friends, and neither had they ever been close to her.

They must have heard some rumors about her in the grapevine. Most probably, they only asked her about her private life out of curiosity.

There were a lot of people in the world who were like the two women before her. They thrived on gossiping about other people's private lives instead of minding their own business.

"Nancy, let me give you an advice. It's not easy being a stepmother. It's tiring, requires a lot of hard work, and in the end, you won't even receive a thank you for all your efforts. Don't be blinded by your boyfriend's promises. You should not exchange your life for a few riches. If you do, then you're stupid and not thinking straight!" Kathy Jiang said earnestly,

as if she was sincerely persuading her out of real concern for Nancy's plight.

Did she really think that Nancy was a three-year-old and didn't have a mind of her own?

Out of all the people she had met, Nancy only had one true friend, and that was none other than Doris.

No other person aside from Doris could persuade Nancy. She would even allow Doris to curse her.

Besides, Nancy didn't have the time nor inclination to listen to others.

Nancy sighed and pretended to be deeply affected while saying, "But I have no other choice because I need the money. Charles can give me the life of luxury that I have always longed for. Come to think of it, we are a perfect match. He is greedy to get his hands on my beauty, and I am after him for his money. I think we complement each other, indeed!"

"Nancy, since when have you become so vulgar? In time, you will be able to earn money on your own. You can't just sell yourself in exchange for money. Have you no pride at all? Will you be able to stomach being with a man without love? Tina Su was shocked and vocal about her thoughts.

"Yes, you can easily say that because you have never been lacking in money. I have firsthand experience of trouble because I was poor and I do not want to experience it ever again. Right now, money is more important to me. You can't persuade me otherwise," Nancy casually insisted.

The more she behaved like a gold digger, the less Kathy Jiang and Tina Su could attack her. Both women were left speechless.

"Alas, I didn't expect our class belle to turn out to become a stepmother. What a pity!" Kathy Jiang sighed in resignation.

"Ahem... I think you have both forgotten that I am also a single mom with a child. I'll be the stepmother of Charles' son, while he will be the stepfather of my daughter. We really do complement each other in every aspect and we'll both get the end of our bargain. It'll really be beneficial for both of us!"

"You... Alas!" Kathy Jiang continued on her pretense of being sad and said, "Why don't you believe me? Well, since we cannot persuade you otherwise and you are blinded by Charles' money, we won't say anything anymore. See you later."

"Yes, I am after Charles only because of his money. You two are so rich that you can never understand me," Nancy argued.

"We gave you an advice for your own good!" said Tina Su heatedly.

"For my own good? If you are really concerned about me, can you give me money yourself?" Nancy asked with a condescending smile.

"You! My impression of you was you were very high-and -mighty. You were so down-to-earth and didn't chase after money. Time has surely changed you in the past few years," said Tina Su in astonishment. "Any woman who has been faced with a lot of adversities will start to like money. Once she does, she would have a better understanding of life and be more mature. I like myself better this way!" Nancy continued in a calm tone, not minding their sharp gaze.

It's money that you are worshiping. What does it have to do with being mature?" Kathy Jiang sneered contemptuously.

"Yeah, I admit I'm a gold digger. You can say whatever you want to say." Nancy only said these things out of boredom. She teased them to kill boring time while waiting.

But she was so engrossed on their conversation that she didn't notice that Charles was already standing beside the car carrying a shopping bag full of ingredients.

From what he knew of Nancy so far, she never talked about her personal affairs with others.

Furthermore, she never talked nonsense.

Today, he had really gained a new understanding of her.

It turned out that she would even tease other women when she got bored.

But was what she said true? Was she really a gold digger?

He didn't think so.

"What's so great about Charles? Why do you like him so? Nancy?" Kathy Jiang probed further, "Our boyfriends are all very young. Charles must be so much older than you, right?" "Alas, nowadays it's the trend to marry rich men. As long as they are rich, age is not a problem!" Tina Su remarked, obviously adding fuel to the fire.
