Eva looked at them with an implicit and deep look.
The whole family tried their best to pretend to be kind to her, but their acting skills were too bad, and their lies were always exposed. Salina, in particular, had an arrogant expression, as if she was noble. In fact, the Xiao family was just a nouveau riche who relied on the Xu family to become rich.
"There is a saying that 'People who follow different paths do not take counsel with one another'. I have nothing to do with your family since I was eight years old. I believe that you also don't want to have any contact with me. No matter what purpose you try to get close to me, what I want to tell you is that you can't get anything from me. Don't waste your energy," she said word by word clearly and forcefully.
Salina's face immediately darkened. If it wasn't for her daughter's success, how could she allow this little bitch to enter her family? And she wouldn't let her sit here to challenge her!
When she was about to teach Eva a lesson, York quickly said, "Eva, I treated you badly before, and now I will make it up to you. Shelly is your sister, and I hope you two can forget the past and get along well with each other."
The reason why he tried his best to pretend to be a kind father was to win over Eva.
He knew that he couldn't force Eva to leave Vinton. If she was just an actress, he could deal with her easily. At the worst, he could find someone to block her and force her to leave Vinton.
But she was not simple. She had a powerful help, Essie, behind her. Both Elizabeth and Bles were overwhelmed by her, let alone such a nobody like him.
Moreover, Eva would put obstacles in Vinton's way, making him hate Shelly as much as he hated Wendy. At that time, there would be no chance at all.
After thinking for a while, he decided to win over Eva and let her treat Shelly as her sister. In this way, not only could she get closer to Vinton with her help, but also Vinton would love have better feeling towards Shelly because of his love towards Eva. At that time, Shelly would take the opportunity to steal Vinton and kick away Eva.
He winked at Shelly, who understood what he meant and quickly stopped being jealous. She put on a smile to Eva.
"Sister, it was really Wendy who forced me before. She has treated me as a servant since I was a child. If I don't listen to her, she will beat me. I'm afraid, so I did as she said. Sister, I really don't want to hurt you. Can you forgive me? " She sniffed and pouted, as if she was about to cry, but there was no tears in her eyes.
Eva sneered in her heart, 'The whole family are hypocrites. Their smile are fake. Their cry are even more artificial.'
But why did they work so hard to act in front of her and even trample on Wendy?
"Don't forget, I'm an actress. I can tell at a glance whether you are pretending or they are your true feelings. If you have to act in front of me next time, remember to register for a performance training class first to improve your acting skills. "
When she said that rudely, Shelly's face turned red. If Vinton hadn't been there, she would have been furious.
She had never seen her as her sister. Such a lowly child born from a poor family was not qualified to be her sister at all. Compared with her, it would lower her noble identity.
She took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress her anger. In order to be the wife of the crown prince of the Xu family and marry her beloved brother Vinton, she was willing to do anything.
"Sister, I really mean it. After all, we are sisters, and the same blood is flowing in our veins. How can I act in front of you? What's the benefit of it?" She tried her best to squeeze out a tear.
Seeing that it was so hard for her to squeeze, Eva laughed and said, "You know what benefits it will bring, but I don't care. From now on, you can go your own way and I will go through my single plank bridge. We have nothing to do with each other."
After saying that, she pulled Vinton to stand up. She didn't want to waste any more time here.
York put on a helpless expression and sighed heavily, "Eva, I know that I can't change your attitude in a while, but I won't give up. You are my biological daughter, and I will try my best to make up for you."
He would never let Eva know that Elizabeth gave up Wendy and chose Shelly instead, or all his previous efforts would be wasted.
On their way back, Vinton noticed that Eva was in a bad mood, so he held her in his arms and comforted her, "Don't think too much. If you don't want to keep in touch with them, then don't do that. It doesn't matter if you don't recognize such a father."
Eva nodded, "I'm just thinking about what they are thinking about. Two days ago, I just talked to your mother, and they suddenly changed their faces and tried to win me over. There must be a reason."
"Just ignore them," Vinton said indifferently.
Eva shrugged. She didn't want to talk to them, but she still wanted to be prepared in case of being caught off guard again.
The two drove all the way to the dessert coffee shop of Tang Group.
