0003 Don't care_1

Ellen Wood's true thoughts were unknown to Lucy Wood. As far as Lucy was concerned, staying in the countryside offered Ellen no future.

She was already 24, and at that age, people from the Wood Family's social circle were already starting to help with the family business.

However, it was absolutely impossible for the Wood Family to allow a girl who had been lost to the outside world for over twenty years to meddle in the family affairs, but it wasn't difficult to use their connections to find Ellen a job that would keep her clothed and fed for life.

Especially since Lucy Wood was a celebrity.

Ellen: "You make it sound nice, but I don't want to go back, I want to rest for a year."

To Lucy, these words translated to "I still want to fool around for another year."

A 24-year-old woman not looking for a job and still wanting to rest another year?

Lucy was somewhat puzzled. "If you want to rest, you can do so just as well by returning to the Wood Family. Why insist on staying here?"

Ellen furrowed her brows, and her long eyelashes cast enough shadow beneath her eyelids to gather shadows together, making it hard for Lucy to read her eyes and fathom her thoughts.

"Haran Village is where Grandpa raised me, so naturally I will rest here. If you have no other business, you can go back now."

Her voice grew colder, and the distance in her words was crystal clear to Lucy.

Lucy was somewhat taken aback.

She didn't understand why her younger sister was nothing like she had imagined, but she continued, "I haven't told you what your parents' names are, or whether you know you have brothers and sisters."

Lucy had not known that she had a younger sister at all.

Her own status in the Wood Family wasn't that great either.

Ellen: "It's none of my business."

The lack of visitors from the Wood Family was enough to show their attitude, so Ellen's response came without any burden.

Lucy felt the situation was thorny.

Just then, a woman wearing a meticulously tucked white shirt into a black skirt walked in, with a figure not inferior to Lucy's, only slightly older and with a hint of mature charm.

She stood outside and called out, "Lucy, we don't have much time."

Lucy turned her head and responded, "Okay."

Knowing she couldn't persuade Ellen this time, she could only say, "Do you have a cellphone? Give me your number, and I'll contact you when I can. I'm too busy as a sister and find it difficult."

As a celebrity, her schedule was extremely busy, and even coming to Haran Village to see her sister had been squeezed into her timetable.

Ellen didn't move and simply said, "You tell me."

Lucy: "..."

She recited a string of numbers, and as soon as she finished, Ellen said, "Got it, you can leave now."

Lucy didn't believe her. "You really remembered it?"

She had no doubt that her newfound sister was tricking her.

To her surprise, Ellen repeated her phone number with an indifferent expression, very quickly and without missing a single digit.

Memorizing a number in an instant wasn't hard, but the tricky part was remembering it later if one wasn't taking it seriously.

With no way to deal with Ellen, Lucy was forced to leave first under her agent's urging.

The environment in Haran Village really wasn't good, and she couldn't possibly stay there.

She had to go to the county town first.

When they reached the van, her agent Felicia Frost asked her, "How did it go?"

Lucy shook her head, and her usually bright face couldn't hide the worry: "She's more difficult than I expected. I thought she'd be over the moon, but when she heard I was her sister, it's as if I'd just commented on the weather being good or bad, she didn't react at all."

Felicia Frost was a bit surprised: "Don't people normally care when they find their biological family?"
