Chapter 83: Cinderella and Trash Prince Episode 4

  Three months later, Suoluo flew from Dali to Paris, starting a new life with "Jixiaogu".

  Her personality and experiences can influence the original owner, so as to thoroughly change the tragic fate of the original owner, even if she leaves later, she can still live a good life. Otherwise, even if she helps her abuse scum, it is just treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

  She was admitted to the French ESMOD High Fashion Art College with excellent grades, sharp fashion sense and unique insights, as well as native-like French and English, and studied under the famous contemporary designer Louis Cha?né.

  The following three years were busy and fulfilling, Louis was undoubtedly a strict teacher. Although Ji Xiaogu had studied in the domestic science system for four years and had two years of practical experience, these memories were left to her, but this level was still completely inadequate in front of Louis. Everything had to be learned from scratch, accumulating a large amount of knowledge every day, watching countless fashion shows, drawing countless drafts, as well as going on inspiration trips, finding inspiration, making clothes...

  Fortunately, she was talented, diligent and studious, and had also absorbed the aesthetic and artistic influences of different worlds, making rapid progress almost overnight. By the second year, Louis made an exception and let her become his assistant, joining his private studio to help manage his personal brand and quarterly shows.

  Masters all have their own temper, Uncle Louis is no exception, especially when working six relatives do not recognize, occasionally even scold Su Luo a smelly head, but in the heart still very satisfied with this little apprentice, just mouth does not say. He not only poured out his years of accumulation and design experience to teach her, but also tried his best to create various connections and opportunities for her, letting her quickly integrate into the Paris high-end fashion circle in a short period, paving the way for her future.

  But don't get me wrong, Louis really just treats her as a student, nothing more, and he's almost fifty years old, roughly the same age as Sololo's dad. The two of them wouldn't have any ambiguous relationship. And it's said that in the fashion circle, nine out of ten men are gay. Coincidentally, Uncle Louis is one of them, and he has a partner named Philip, who is an executive at a multinational corporation. Their feelings for each other are so good that even Sololo envies them.

  Because Lewis is a thorough workaholic, he often forgets himself when busy and frequently flies around the world, with meals being particularly inadequate. Su noticed this detail carefully, and out of the traditional Chinese idea of respecting teachers and morality, as well as gratitude for Lewis's careful guidance, she quietly took care of his daily life without leaving any traces.

  And for herself, no matter how delicious the Western food is, even if it's made by a Michelin three-star chef, it's only okay to eat occasionally. If she had to eat this every day of the year, she wouldn't be able to take it. So as long as she wasn't on a business trip, she would make bento for herself and Louis in her small apartment every evening, heat them up in the microwave at lunchtime, which was convenient, healthy, and delicious, although not as good as freshly made food, but still better than takeout. She also knew medicine, could see the physical problems of Louis, and would sometimes make soup or congee for him, all targeted at his health issues. If she worked late or went out, she would remind Louis to eat on time, even the flower tea in the office, the plants placed, and the air freshener in the car were all good for his body.

  At first, Louis didn't realize it, but he wasn't particular about food and thought his little apprentice was used to Chinese food, so he just gave him some too. Anyway, the taste was good, so he followed suit and ate it. Gradually, he felt that his body had improved a lot. In his early years, due to the pressure of coming out, he suffered from depression and anorexia nervosa. Although he recovered later, it still left some impact on his body. However, in recent months, his sleep has improved, and he's become more spirited. He even hasn't had any stomach problems, which is truly strange. He mentioned this to Philip, who was of course delighted. This was one of his concerns, but old illnesses aren't that easy to cure. So, they made time to go for a check-up together. The results showed that all the indicators had indeed improved significantly, which thrilled him. The two of them figured it out and thought it must be due to the Chinese food he'd been eating recently. That ancient Eastern country always has many mysterious and incomprehensible things. Philip immediately called his lover's little apprentice to ask which Chinese restaurant's chef was cooking for him. He was willing to spend a lot of money to have him cook for his lover, and he wanted to thank the chef properly. Unexpectedly, it turned out that the girl had cooked it herself.

  Louis felt a bit embarrassed, his little apprentice had been cooking for him for so long and he hadn't even noticed, still thinking it was takeout from some restaurant. Not wanting to trouble them again, after expressing gratitude, he thought of saying that they didn't have to cook for him anymore, but Philip wouldn't let it go, having finally found an opportunity to make his loved one's body better, even if he knew it was very impolite, he still wanted to ask them once more.

  Su Luo didn't mention it before, not wanting people to think she was trying to curry favor with Louis. Now that they asked, she told them everything. She had a long conversation with Philip on the phone about Louis's physical condition and how to take care of him, what precautions to take in daily life, and said that although she wasn't a doctor, she had some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. If they trusted her, she could take charge of Louis's health. Louis couldn't get a word in edgewise as he listened to his lover and apprentice discuss what he should eat, what not to eat, what exercises to do, when to rest, even what plants to raise and what pillow to use, all in minute detail. They even mentioned his habit of forgetting to eat when working, and both scolded him for it. Although Louis felt they were being a bit too cautious, he was still touched by their concern. He and Philip didn't have children, and had cut ties with their respective families. Now, listening to his apprentice and lover's conversation, he really felt like they were a family of three. He couldn't help but feel a little choked up. That was a good kid.

  After that, Sulolo's relationship with the two men became increasingly close, and he would occasionally stay at their home for a short while, or the three of them would travel together, or on one of their birthdays, help plan a surprise for the other...

  Unlike young lovers who like to be alone, people of their age are more eager for a lively family with children around them, but reality does not allow it. Su Luo can feel their loneliness and desolation, although they are all top figures in their respective circles and have many friends, but none of them can replace relatives and a complete family. So in the third year, when they asked her if she was willing to be their daughter, she agreed. Not for anything, just wanting to do her best to bring health and happiness to both of them, and the original owner didn't have a father or mother either, having relatives would make her happier in the future.

  For the past three years, Suoluo has not lost contact with Chen Yaoyao. At first, she was worried about her and would call her from time to time to ask if she was doing well, whether she had any sequelae left over from that time, whether she had enough money, and whether she was used to living alone. Suoluo repeatedly assured her that she was fine, everything was going smoothly, and she was happy as can be, before Chen Yaoyao gradually felt at ease.

  Afterwards, she would occasionally report to her about the situation of those two scumbags, expressing her desire to expose their behavior publicly. Su Luo repeatedly advised her against it and only then did she agree not to interfere with the matter. Although she was furious, Chen Yao still considered her friend's well-being and decided not to reveal the truth, fearing that Xiaoguang's future boyfriend would find out and mind. So this matter was kept under wraps, even from Duan Xuan. However, whenever she had the chance, she would also make things difficult for the two of them, but only with verbal jabs, as she didn't want to cause trouble for Duan Xuan. Because Lin's family did not accept Yang Ningning's identity and refused to let her into their home, Chen Yao was quite pleased and detailedly told Su Luo about how Yang Ningning clashed with Lin's parents, how Lin Chenghua was caught in the middle, and how Yang Ningning lost face. She even added her personal feelings to the story, making it sound like a novel. Su Luo, although already aware of these situations, still felt moved upon hearing them, thinking that having such a friend who wholeheartedly cared for her was truly not easy to come by.

  More often, the two of them would chat about their daily lives. Su Luo would share with her stories about her studies and work, beautiful scenery from her travels, customs and cultures from foreign lands, the latest fashion trends, handsome guys she had met, delicious food she had eaten, and clothes, accessories, and snacks that suited Chen Yao. Chen Yao knew that after Su Luo started earning money from her internship, she didn't hold back and accepted everything, expressing envy and admiration for Su Luo's rich and colorful life, but in reality, she was happy for her and felt that she had really let go and become more optimistic. Occasionally, when she got into a fight with Duan Xun or encountered some weirdos, she would also find Su Luo to vent to, and during holidays, she would send her local specialties from afar. The relationship between the two of them was even better than it was when the original owner was around.

  Days passed like this, and finally, it was time for Suoluo to go back.

  Chen Yaoyao and Duan Xuan finally decided to end their 12-year love marathon after all the quarrels and breakups, and step into the marriage hall. As her best friend, she naturally received an invitation to attend the wedding. Coincidentally, it had been over three years since she left, so it was time for her to go back and visit Ji Xiaogu's grandmother and uncle's family. "Incidentally", it was also time for that couple to pay a price for their actions. So, she embarked on her journey home.

  "Goodbye, kid. Take care of yourself and give us a call when you get there." Philip instructed with concern.

  "Good dad."

  "Give our regards to your grandmother and family, we will visit them when we have time."

  "Alright, Father, you also need to rest. I've already told my colleagues at the workshop that they will be keeping an eye on you. If you don't eat on time, someone will report back to me."

  "Got it, little tube home." Louis now has a strong sense of being a father and is proud of it, spoiling his daughter to no end. His body has recovered and his mood has improved as well. Moreover, his mischievous daughter somehow gave him and his lover some kind of magical thing to eat, making them both feel much younger, even recapturing their past "xing fu" moments, it's like a little angel sent by heaven.

  "We should go, or we'll be late." Shawn Pedro reminded him from the side. He is Louis' "Muse", a top male model ranked in the global top 50, and also a friend of Sulolo's. The two have frequent contact due to work and get along well. However, what Sulolo doesn't know is that he has had a secret crush on her for a long time, but unfortunately, the first time he was about to confess, he was seen by Louis, who didn't want to be a father-in-law so soon, so... now he's just a "tragically" friendly friend.

  Actually, the two dads are also quite contradictory. On the one hand, they know that their daughter has been deeply hurt in the past, divorced, and is afraid of being hurt by Xiao En. After all, the emotions of men and women in the modeling circle change too quickly, and they have seen a lot, so they are not sure how long Xiao En's love will last. On the other hand, they also want their daughter to find happiness as soon as possible, to have a partner who can accompany her for a lifetime, and to forget the past pain. After discussing it, the two of them finally decided to observe Xiao En for a period of time, and only allow him to confess to their daughter after he has passed the test.

  Given his good behavior for so long, the two finally relaxed a bit and allowed him to send his daughter to the airport this time. Later, they also arranged a joint itinerary in China for the two of them, creating an opportunity for them.

  "Then we'll go first. Goodbye Daddy, goodbye Papa, love you."

  "Love you, kid, be careful on the road."

  Su Luo hugged the two men and kissed them goodbye before following Sean out the door. She also found it strange that her dads would let Sean send her off, wasn't there a driver at home? Letting a top model give her a ride and carry her luggage, wasn't that a waste of great talent for small things?
