Bright Sampton looked at Jane Sampson with a sense of grievance, "Sister, youâre just laughing and not talking, whatâs the difference between this and kicking someone when theyâre down."
"Thereâs no difference, Iâm just mocking you." Jane Sampson nodded and admitted frankly.
Since that girl was busy inspecting the investors, Granny Sampton led Jane Sampson and Bright Sampton to the side and didnât go up to greet the girl at that time.
However, Jane Sampson could see from the girlâs restrained expression that she wasnât very happy with the investors she was hosting.
There were quite a few people in the Peach Orchard, and Granny Sampton was also getting on in age. The three of them stayed in the mountain village for less than two hours before going back.
After going back, Granny Sampton went into the house to rest. She usually had the habit of taking a lunch break, and today she was feeling good, so she took the young siblings to play in the mountain village. Granny Sampson was tired by the time she got home.
Bright Sampton was still quite energetic; he went into the house, opened the computer, and started calling his teammates to play.
Jane Sampson, on the other hand, sat in the rocking chair in the courtyard.
The old grapevine in the corner of the courtyard completely withered this spring. Usually, by this time and when spring arrived, the grapevine would sprout new shoots, and the green leaves would wrap around the grape trellis again.
And this year, after Grandpa Sampton, who planted the grapevine, passed away, even the grapevine didnât spring to life again.
Jane Sampson was lost in thought when her mobile phone in her coat pocket suddenly rang.
Jane Sampson took it out and saw that it was Coco Edwards calling, so she answered it immediately.
"Coco, whatâs up?" Jane Sampson spoke with a rather relaxed tone on the phone with Coco Edwards.
"Little Jane, are you with the guard team or back in the city district at home?" Coco Edwards asked, "If youâre back home in the city district, Iâll come over now and talk to you about something."
"Iâm in the countryside with my grandma." Jane Sampson replied, "Whatâs going on?"
"Countryside, huh? Alright then, I can tell you over the phone, itâs the same anyway." Coco Edwards agreed, "You havenât been busy these few days, right? I havenât been to the studio much either. This morning, my cousin came to the city district to find me, and I took her out for lunch at noon. While chatting, I heard something that might have to do with your recent notices being stolen."
Upon hearing this, Jane Sampson was really stunned, "Go on."
The notices getting stolen wasnât it because of Harrington Entertainment? Or, maybe it was because Lucy Brisk sold her itinerary.
"My cousin is my motherâs sisterâs daughter. My cousin told me that during Chinese New Year, she and her family came to my home to pay a New Yearâs visit, and she heard some things my mom said to her mom."
Coco Edwards paused for a moment, organizing her words before continuing.
"My cousin said she heard my mom and dad complaining to her mom and dad, saying that they raised such a useless daughter like me. They originally wanted to gain some benefits by having me be your assistant, the big star, but I just keep hiding and not going to work, nor do I answer their calls. My mom and dad said raising a daughter like me is hopeless, and I donât even know how to seize such a good opportunity to make money."
By now, Coco Edwardsâ tone had changed, "Later, my aunt and this cousin were curious and asked my mom and dad what lucrative opportunity they were talking about. My parents said that someone approached them and said if they could get your schedule from me and reveal it, theyâd pay a 20,000 service fee for each time."
"Unfortunately, my cousin didnât ask when these people approached my parents, I didnât go home for Chinese New Year, and also changed my phone number, so they donât know where I live now, and canât find me."
