Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 356 Life experience

"what?!"

Noticing the clerk looking at them, Taozi quickly bent her waist and covered her mouth.

"You said you are not your biological child. Are you serious? How did you know? When did you know? Do your parents know?"

Taozi asked a series of questions like a bombardment.

Su Mang took a sip of coffee and said slowly: "Can this kind of thing be used as a joke? Of course I am serious."

Feeling that her expression did not seem fake, Taozi became speechless.

"I can't tell exactly when I found out." Su Mang looked far away, recalling the source of everything. "At the beginning, when I was still in primary school in the village, my classmates said that my parents didn't want me anymore because they had a younger brother because I was not their biological child."

"I didn't believe it. I just thought they were trying to pick a fight and make me angry."

"As I grew up, my neighbors praised me for my good looks. I don't know who I took after."

"I understood something by then, and knew why the kids in my class suddenly said those things. It was simply because their parents didn't cover their children's backs when they said them, and they learned from them."

"Whether they meant it or not, I couldn't stop thinking about it. It's obvious, isn't it? My parents' hair is black, but mine is brown. And my eyes, my nose and my mouth... they don't look like them at all."

Taozi was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. "I didn't think about that at all. I thought your hair turned yellow because of malnutrition!"

Su Mang smiled faintly: "My mother told me the same thing when I was a child."

"After I had this question in my mind, I kept thinking about it, wondering whether I should ask them. I was also afraid that my parents would fool me like they did when I was a child. Until one day, I found the answer myself."

Taozi's upper body unconsciously moved closer and closer, and she listened more and more attentively.

"One Chinese New Year, my parents were packing up and cleaning the house. They found a jewelry box. It contained the silver bracelets I wore when I was a child, a longevity lock, agate beads, and some small odds and ends."

"My mom probably forgot what was inside. I lay down beside her and read it together, but she didn't chase me away. It wasn't until I turned to the back that I found a folded paper."

"It's been so long that the paper has turned yellow. My mother opened it with suspicion, looked at it for a second, and then closed it again as if she was frightened. I wanted to take a look, but she wouldn't let me. She folded the paper and put it back to the bottom of the box."

"Her expression at that time clearly showed that something was wrong. The more she tried to hide it, the more I wanted to know what was written on it. From then on, whenever my parents were not at home, I would look for it everywhere in the house."

"Finally, I found it." A smile of victory appeared on Su Mang's face.

"Do you know where my mom hid it? On top of the closet in my brother's room. She probably thought I would never go through my brother's room."

Taozi took a sip and didn’t know what to say, but anyway... both of them were pretty amazing.

"After I finished reading the paper, I put it back unopened. Of course, I took a photo of it."

Su Mang entered the password and opened her private photo album. There was only one photo in it, which was the piece of paper.

Taozi pulled her hand towards her, her eyes wide open as she read the contents above -

"November 192, 11... 12: to : in the morning (approximately)... Xiagou River, east of the bridge... wearing a small white bellyband with letters printed on it..."

Taozi read it out loud.

After reading it, he looked at Su Mang in shock.

Su Mang took her hand back, smoothed her hair and said, "It was only after seeing this note that I was sure that I was not my parents' biological child."

"November 11th, I thought that was my birthday, but I didn't expect it was the day they found me."

Taozi was a little stuck, she didn't know whether to comfort, sympathize or what, so she just asked.

"Well, aren't your uncle and aunt very good to you? What are you going to do? Just live like this or..."

"I want to find my biological parents. I want to know who they are and why they didn't want me in the first place." Su Mang said with his head down.

Taozi put her hand on the back of her hand and said distressedly: "There must be a reason, it doesn't matter. Even if they don't want you, you still have your current parents. I am also a person who is loved by my parents, no worse than other children!"

"Yeah." Su Mang nodded. Her fragile look while forcing a smile would make anyone feel distressed.

Taozi couldn't help but move from the opposite side to her side and gave her a hug.

"You told me such a big thing only when we were about to break up. You really don't treat me as a friend. You are amazing to have kept it in your heart for so long."

"How do you plan to find your biological parents?"

Su Mang paused and shook her head. "I don't know. Let's take it one step at a time."

As it got dark, the two chatted for a while and then went back home.

Sitting on the return starship, Su Mang opened the private photo album and entered another password. This time a different photo popped up.

There was a piece of clothing for a child in the photo, which was exactly the white bellyband described on the note. Su Youmin and his wife did not recognize the letters on it, but Su Mang did.

That is the logo of a luxury brand.

She secretly went to the counter to ask about this little dress. Although the salesgirl was very impatient, she still told her.

"The official price of this bellyband is 99,000 star coins. But that doesn't mean you can buy it with 99,000. Are you a brand VIC? Do you have your own exclusive sales? Do you have an identity?"

The salesgirl spoke Imperial language. Su Mang could understand every word but didn't understand their meaning.

The salesgirl rolled her eyes and turned the customer away: "We don't have it in a small place like this. Only the headquarters can stock things that are not the main brand. Do you understand, kid?"

Su Mang didn't understand it at the time, but she understood it later. People in small places can't afford it and have limited purchasing power. They only buy things that are "valuable", such as classic bags, clothes and shoes with obvious brand styles and logos, etc. This way, others can recognize them at a glance when they wear them. It also helps customers satisfy their vanity.

After all, this is where the greatest value of luxury goods lies.

Su Mang's face was red. This was the first time she felt such direct and undisguised harsh treatment. At that time, she didn't know where she got the courage from, and continued to ask: "Then, which road is the headquarters? Can you give me a specific location?"

All the salesmen in the store laughed, stumbling forward and backward, without caring about their manners.

Su Mang stood there at a loss, not knowing what she had said that made them laugh like this. But laughing was better than the previous harshness.

The laughter lasted for more than a minute before a salesgirl wiped her tears and gasped, "Oh, I am dying of laughter. Which way?" Do you think WS is our local chain hot pot restaurant?

"This is a big interstellar brand! How could the headquarters be set up on such a marginal planet? Of course it must be on the Imperial Star!"

In the end, no one knew how Su Mang walked out.

She felt like she was hit on the head with a stick. She was very confused and her head was buzzing.

Planet M818 is the economic core of the surrounding planets. Prices are very high, there are many places to eat and have fun, and the restaurants are decorated like palaces. Is such a prosperous place still a "small place"?

So what kind of place is considered "big"? How can one become what the salesperson calls a "VIC"?

According to her, being able to buy this baby bellyband shows that her biological parents are not ordinary people. If they didn't love her, why would they buy her such expensive clothes?

Maybe her parents have been looking for her all these years?
