Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot
/ Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1720
Chapter 1720: 418: Already a turtle in a jar! Chapter 1720: 418: Already a turtle in a jar! Christina Armstrong had not yet met the man when Sabrina Sabir told her that he would be coming to recognize kin in three days, which she found somewhat unacceptable.
It was too fast.
Seeing Christina's expression, Sabrina Sabir narrowed her eyes and held Christina's hand with a meaningful tone, “Christina, you are my biological daughter and the apple of my eye. You are already twenty-seven and still not married, which really worries me. That's why I went to a marriage agency and found you a suitor. I have already checked him out, and both his character and family background are excellent. After you marry him, you won't have to do a thing, you can even quit your factory job.”
Sabrina Sabir talked about the man as if he were the best there could be, which swayed Christina a bit.
Being an ordinary girl.
Christina's wishes were simple.
Find a good man to marry and then stay at home to care for her husband and children.
After saying this, Sabrina Sabir added, “The man is also a native of Capital City!”
A native of Capital City?
Hearing this, Christina furrowed her brows subtly and asked, “Mom, would a Capital City native be interested in me?”
Capital City natives are mostly wealthy second-generation locals.
Thus, being affluent and local residents, they are very strict in choosing a spouse, requiring good character, appearance, and education.
Christina knew herself well.
She was just an incredibly ordinary girl without a single standout feature.
Under normal circumstances, no native of Capital City would be interested in her.
Hearing this, Sabrina encouraged, “Christina, you are the daughter I'm most proud of! You are so beautiful and have a great figure, why wouldn't the locals be interested? My child, you are just too sincere!”
Christina began to doubt her own life upon receiving such high praise from Sabrina.
Then Sabrina continued, “Not only should you marry a local from Capital City, but your brother should also marry a daughter of a wealthy Capital City family!”
“Isla Astir is no match for your brother!”
Hearing this, Christina couldn't help but say, “Mom, you really misunderstand Isla. She doesn't like George. She already has a boyfriend?”
Though Isla Astir didn't actually have a boyfriend at that moment, Christina didn't want to hear her mother speak ill of Isla.
“A boyfriend?” Sabrina's face was full of disbelief as she continued, “Where did she find a boyfriend?”
Christina then said, “Isla's boyfriend is a good catch and also a native of Capital City. But Isla hasn't made it public yet, so mom, please don't say anymore that Isla likes George!”
To avoid misunderstandings by others.
“People not going public implies it's something shameful,” Sabrina narrowed her eyes and spoke, “Christina, you naive child, you are being used and you're even counting money for them! She is deliberately saying this to you, so you provoke George!”
In Sabrina's eyes, Isla Astir had fallen for George Armstrong and wanted to chase after him!
After all, George is talented, handsome, and well-educated!
What does Isla have?
She doesn't even have a stable job.
Christina sighed softly, not knowing how to explain.
Sabrina took Christina's hand and stood up, “Christina, let's not talk about this anymore. Come with me, I bought you a set of clothes. When the man comes to recognize kin, you'll wear this outfit!”
Christina followed Sabrina to the room.
Sabrina pulled out a very expensive-looking pink down jacket.
“Try it on, Christina.”
Christina tried it on.
Being young, the pink color made Christina's complexion look very good.
Sabrina, looking at Christina, was completely satisfied and said, “You are indeed my daughter! Beautiful indeed!”
Christina felt somewhat embarrassed by the praise and looked down at the price tag on the down jacket, exclaiming in surprise, “Mom! This down jacket is so expensive!”
The price tag read 3299 Yuan.
Christina found the price unimaginable.
Knowing that Sabrina's monthly salary was only four thousand Yuan.
How could she afford such an expensive down jacket?
And most importantly, Sabrina had never bought clothes for herself before.
It was truly strange!
With a smile, Sabrina said, “Christina, you are the apple of my eye, what's three thousand Yuan? You're about to be married, not to mention thirty thousand Yuan, mom wouldn't blink an eye.”
In fact, the down jacket was not bought by Sabrina.
It was purchased by Peter Stone.
Sabrina would rather squeeze the last drop of blood from Christina; how could she afford to buy such an expensive jacket for her?
