Chapitre 144: Lin Miao's Classmate

The store clerk approached and, upon recognizing Mrs. Lin and Li Hua, was taken aback. "Are you Lin Miao's mother and sister-in-law?"

Lin Miao had previously mentioned that despite their rural residence, their family was rather well-off. However, they were discreet about their wealth, fearing envy from others in the village.

During a parent-teacher conference in her final year of high school, she recalled seeing Mrs. Lin and Li Hua elegantly dressed. It contrasted starkly with their current appearance, resembling that of impoverished individuals.

The clerk remarked, "So, you're pretending to be poor even though you've come to the city? Where's Lin Miao? She used to hang out with me, but now she's disappeared."

Li Hua, feeling uncomfortable, whispered, "Mo Li, we're not pretending. We're not wealthy villagers."
