Elise’s Unyielding Stand Chapter 5

Elise Qiu walked out of the study with her work contract in hand.

Although she got it from the bad male protagonist, she got it on her own merit, which made her feel a little better.

As soon as she walked out, she saw Mira Jiang sitting by the railing, holding the railing alone and looking downstairs with a blank expression.

"What are you doing here?" Elise Qiu said, "You look a little unhappy."

Hearing Elise Qiu's voice, Mira Jiang came back to his senses instantly.

She first glanced at Elise Qiu, then at the study. After a few seconds, she shook her head: "Auntie, I'm not unhappy..."

There was a little expectation in his eyes: "Did dad ask me to come in?"

Elise Qiu turned around and looked at the closed door of the study room, and understood something.

"I'll go ask." she said.

Hearing this, Mira Jiang stood up and shook his head: "Don't go, dad said he was very busy..."

After saying that, he lowered his head and stood in despair.

Seeing this, Elise Qiu remained silent.

The child in front of her still longs for her father's love, but her father doesn't have her in his eyes, and he doesn't seem to have thought about how to take her into his heart.

And she, as an adult, doesn't know how to help her repair the relationship between father and daughter.

She doesn't even know how to get along with her father, or how to teach others?

Does it have to be repaired? With the male protagonist’s character, this father-daughter relationship is not necessary...

Elise Qiu walked up to Mira Jiang with the contract in hand, squatted down, and asked in a loud voice: "Do you want to go out to eat? I'll treat you to a meal. You can eat anything."

Mira Jiang thought for a moment and nodded happily: "Yes!"

Elise Qiu raised a finger: "But I have a condition."

Mira Jiang: "What are the conditions?"

Elise Qiu: "You have to show me the way, I don't know the way."

Mira Jiang: "?"

...

Under the street lamp, a large group and a small child were sitting on the bench in front of the ice cream shop eating ice cream.

It's not far from Jiang's house, and you don't have to drive when you go out. Mira Jiang sometimes runs out to buy a cone and eats it on a bench by the roadside.

But eating cones on the roadside with the adults in her family was her first experience.

She secretly looked at Elise Qiu.

The adult was eating the ice cream quietly. She stretched out her tongue and licked it, sipping the taste gently in her mouth. She raised her eyebrows and her eyes brightened, as if she was very satisfied with the taste.

Elise Qiu noticed the secretly passing glances from beside her and said without thinking: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Mira Jiang paused while holding the cone.

Got caught.

But when she heard Elise Qiu's words, she couldn't help but ask: "Auntie, what were you and my dad talking about just now?"

Elise Qiu's eyes slowly fell on her.

After all, he is still a child, and he is very curious, but there is nothing he cannot say.

"I talked to him about a job."

"Work? What work?"

"A job that takes care of you."

"?"

"I'll take care of you and your father will give me money."

Mira Jiang blinked after hearing this.

She doesn't quite understand why taking care of her stepmother can be a job, and why are we talking about this?

"Auntie, are you short of money?"

"Missing." Elise Qiu was honest.

"My dad has a lot of money. He gives me pocket money every month. Didn't he give it to you?" Mira Jiang was puzzled.

"That's your father's money, not mine."

"My dad gave it to you, isn't it just your pocket money?"

"If one day he suddenly doesn't want to give it to me, then where will my money come from?"

Mira Jiang was immediately asked.

She was still young and had a fixed pocket money every month, which she never lacked, so she never thought about what she would do if she ran out of pocket money one day.

"If he doesn't give it to you, just ask him for it!"

"I asked him and he still didn't give me money, so he just doesn't want to give me money?"

"Well..."

Seeing her troubled expression, Elise Qiu raised his hand and touched her head, and said in a friendly tone, "This is why aunt talks about work with your father.

"The pocket money was given by your father. After all, it is your father's money. I can't control what he does with it. But the money I earn from my work is earned by my own efforts. It is my money and no one can take it away. "

Mira Jiang seemed to understand but not quite.

At a young age, she vaguely understood a truth: making money by yourself is more secure.

"Would you be happier spending the money you earn?"

"Yes, this is what we earned. We have the final say how we spend it. Of course we are happy."

"Wow..."

There was a little yearning in Mira Jiang's eyes.

Making your own money and having the final say sounds cool...

Then Mira Jiang remembered another thing. She raised her head and looked at Elise Qiu, her eyes burning: "Then will you always protect me in the future?"

If there is money to take care of her, but Aunt Baiyu is so short of money, then aunt will definitely take good care of her and protect her all the time, right?

As long as Aunt Bai Yu is here, others will not dare to bully her.

From now on, she will be someone else’s child!

Elise Qiu raised his hand and patted her head: "Yes, I will always protect you."

"We agreed."

Mira Jiang held the cone, his eyes bright, suddenly full of expectations for the future.

"The ice cream here is quite delicious. Thank you for bringing me here." Elise Qiu said.

"You're welcome!" Mira Jiang laughed happily.

She felt that her relationship with her aunt had become much closer!

...

After Elise Qiu went out, Ashton Jiang stayed alone in the study.

He quickly forgot about Elise Qiu, reached for his phone, unlocked it, found someone's chat box, and then hesitated on the screen with his fingertips, as if thinking about the opening remarks.

He remembered the reason why he came back, remembered the reason he had prepared early, and finally typed a line of words in the input field.

[Ashton Jiang]: Are you busy?

[Ashton Jiang]: Lu Hong and the others haven’t seen my new home yet, and they’ve been urging me to take them to see it, so I’m going to invite everyone to my house for dinner.

[Ashton Jiang]: Xiaoyue, do you want to come with me? It just so happens that you have just returned to China, so I can take this opportunity to meet you all.

Xiaoyue, also known as Yiwanyue, is younger than him.

Yi Wanyue's reply was not quick.

It took a few minutes for him to reply.

[Yi Banyue]: New home?

[Yi Banyue]: Do your wife and children live with you?

Why do you ask?

Ashton Jiang looked at Yi Wanyue's two words and a thought suddenly came to his mind: Is she... jealous?

Could she finally realize her feelings for him?

[Ashton Jiang]: Yes

[Ashton Jiang]: I bought this after you went abroad. You haven’t seen it yet.

In fact, this is not his new home, but it is larger and more convenient for entertaining guests, so he chose this place to hold a banquet.

[Yi Wanyue]: Are Lu Hong and the others really going too?

[Ashton Jiang]: Yeah

[Yi Banyue]: Are your wife and daughter also there?

Ashton Jiang looked at this question and his reply speed slowed down.

Is this hope that Elise Qiu is here or that Elise Qiu is not here?

After thinking for a while, he raised his hand and replied with one word: [Here. ]

I heard that sometimes making a woman jealous can speed up the development of a relationship.

[Yiwanyue]: When will we get together?

[Ashton Jiang]: Tomorrow night

This time the other party’s reply was much crisper:

[Excuse me then. ]

Jiang Shendeng's eyes suddenly showed surprise, and he couldn't help but start looking forward to tomorrow.

...

Elise Qiu had just returned to Jiang's house with her children. The housekeeper's aunt came towards her and said to her gently: "Mr. Jiang will invite friends to visit tomorrow night, and his wife and young lady will also be present."

Elise Qiu: "?"

She raised her hand and pointed at herself: "Me?"

Why should she attend? She remembered that the original owner was not very familiar with Ashton Jiang's circle of friends, and Ashton Jiang didn't need to bring her to fill the scene...

The aunt smiled and nodded: "This is what Mr. Jiang meant."

After saying that, she turned around and went to do other things, leaving Elise Qiu and Mira Jiang, one big and one small, looking at each other.

When Mira Jiang heard that it was his father's intention, he immediately beamed: "Dad let us attend his party!"

Elise Qiu frowned slightly and said nothing.

The original protagonist didn't have a deep relationship with the male protagonist's circle of friends, far from being friends with them, so why did she need to attend this gathering of friends? Mira Jiang was even asked to attend.

What on earth is Ashton Jiang thinking?

If according to etiquette, the hostess in name only has to attend to entertain the guests...that's not right. Ashton Jiang's arrogance doesn't seem like someone who cares about this.

Did he want to embarrass her?

Mira Jiang saw her confusion and gently shook her arm: "Auntie, why don't you say anything? Do you not want to participate?"

Elise Qiu was honest: "Yes, I don't want to."

Mira Jiang: "Why?"

Elise Qiu looked serious: "Because I don't think there's anything good going on - I'll go find your dad."

Mira Jiang: "...Huh?"

She immediately rushed to the second floor.

Mira Jiang stayed in the living room, looking at her back in confusion.

There was a knock on the study door again.

"Enter."

Elise Qiu pushed open the door and entered.

Ashton Jiang looked up and saw that face again.

"What's the matter with you?"

Elise Qiu looked at him calmly and said straight to the point: "Why do you want me to attend your friend's party?"

Ashton Jiang lowered his eyes: "You don't have to ask so many questions, just do as you are told."

Too lazy to explain, too lazy to say another word to her.

He didn't need to explain this to her.

Elise Qiu suddenly said: "I understand."

Ashton Jiang didn't even raise his head: "It's best if you understand, don't ask again and again."

Elise Qiu: "You want to embarrass me in front of your friends."

Ashton Jiang: "?"

Elise Qiu: "You are so vicious."

Ashton Jiang: "???"

"Don't make wild guesses."

"Then what do you want me to do by letting me attend your friend's party for no reason? I have no need to get involved in your friend's party. Wait, is it ---"

Ashton Jiang raised his head and saw Elise Qiu with a surprised expression: "You want me to perform a talent show for your friends?!"

Based on her understanding of the male protagonist tonight, this person is not a normal person. Maybe the purpose of letting her attend is really to let her perform a talent show in front of others---This is too scary!

Ashton Jiang: "?"

Elise Qiu: "This is not okay, you are really vicious."

Ashton Jiang: "???"

It really opened his eyes.

How did this woman's brain circuit turn to the talent show? ?

Before he could figure it out, the next second he heard Elise Qiu change the topic: "But if you give me enough money... I can reluctantly recite a poem."

The stinking male protagonist's wool should be used in every possible way.

"Do you want a more popular poem? "Thoughts on a Quiet Night" or "Ode to the Goose"?

"Also, Xiao Min can't do it. She can't perform. It's illegal to employ child labor."

The autumn white elm surface does not change color.

...

Ashton Jiang: "Get out of here!"
