Seeing Christy Zhong's performance, James Feng was touched. Perhaps it was what a woman should be.
But then he said impatiently, "What are you doing? Tell me what you think."
He intended to comfort and encourage her, so she would tell what she wanted to say in her heart, but who knew that what he said seemed to force her.
Christy was familiar with James's tone and way of expression. She tried to calm herself down and said, "I don't know why. I really did nothing, and I didn't provoke any of them."
Her expression was incredibly tragic and sad, and it really made James want to protect her in his heart.
He certainly understood that she should not be blamed for this. Any woman would be bullied in her current position, so what she lacked now was the ability to resist pressure.
"Do you believe that the world is fair?" James stared at Christy and asked very seriously.
It was a complicated issue. Who could make it clear? But objectively speaking, people are not so fair from birth. Otherwise, where is the word of family background?
Christy shook her head thoughtfully. After all, she was not a little girl who hasn't been in the world and has experienced the sinister heart and the hardship of life, and she has deeply learned about it. Where could she believe in justice?
Since she understood the world is not fair, it was relatively more straightforward for James to express his views. He said indifferently, "That's it. Sometimes you need to work really hard to get what you want, and it may not be equal, but as long as you want to get something, you have to pay a certain price."
Christy had a deep understanding of what he said. If it weren't for saving her mother, how could she live like this now? Everything she did make her mother alive now, and a smart son, which made her gratified. She did not expect anything more.
Christy nodded and said thoughtfully, "Yes, as long as you can treat my mother, I will do whatever you ask me to do, as long as you continue to let me work here."
She was very humble at this moment, and she said with a low voice. But James didn't like her, who was not confident like this, what he wanted was a sunny and energetic woman.
James frowned slightly, and he said disgustingly, "Remember, you are not just my employee now, you are my wife. Even if we had an agreement, it is legal. Sometimes, you have to be confident and pretend to be Mrs. Feng."
This requirement was a bit high for Christy. If she needed to perform as James' wife, it would not be so realistic, making others feel suspicious.
Christy looked at James's eyes and said sincerely, "James, I think I cannot perform as your wife very well." It was true. She wanted to tell the truth now. Maybe there would be other opportunities in the future. She didn't want to beg for mercy when things came.
The past few years' miserable life had taught Christy to learn how to well-prepared before things happened.
