Chapter 1 of Shallow Love, Lingering Affection

Both my dad and mom were top biologists in the country.

In one night, everything changed; my parents died in a car accident.

I was adopted by an uninsured man.

My sister, on the other hand, was fortunate enough to enter the famous Burns family.

Clever as she is, my sister thought she could win over the wealthy young master and achieve her dream life.

However, the wealthy young master, Jason, was only interested in me.

Burning with jealousy, my sister even held me and jumped into the river.

1

I was reborn and returned to the day of my adoption.

In the principal's office at the university.

My sister immediately knelt before Mr. Martin, the uninsured man who survived by scavenging.

"Dad, my dear dad. From now on, I am willing to serve you!"

Mr. Martin was deeply moved.

Excited, he helped up my beautiful and "kind-hearted" sister.

My sister leaned close to my ear and secretly told me, "My dear sister, you're done for.

"This time, the protagonist of our lives will be me!"

But I could only laugh inwardly.

Life has never relied on being born into the right family...

Since my sister chose the Martin family, I became the daughter of the Burns family.

In my previous life, Jason Burns from the Burns family saw through my sister's "tricks."

He believed that my sister was a "hypocritical scheming bitch" who loved money above all else.

My sister used every trick in the book to win over Jason.

But all she got in return was Jason's endless disdain and revenge.

Jason was most attracted to the diligent efforts of a poor, innocent girl.

Therefore, he was especially fond of me until the day he swore to marry me.

My sister was deeply unwilling, leading to the scene of her holding me and jumping into the river.

Having been reborn, Jason directed all the "treatment" he had for my sister onto me.

"Norah, don't think I can't see through your tricks.

"You're trying your best to take on the Burns family surname, hoping to win over me.

"Don't even think about it. I, Jason, am a brand you can't afford."

I smiled lightly.

Jason had begun to see me as the same kind of woman as my sister.

I replied, "Bro, compared to cheap brands,

"I prefer street vendor goods.

"They're comfortable to wear!"

Jason was furious.

His dislike for me deepened.

He became even more relentless in his attacks against me.

Jason brought his subordinates, the hooligans, to our department.

One of the female hooligans grabbed my beautiful long hair.

A male hooligan's malicious fist made me cough up blood.

Yet, Jason showed no intention of stopping.

Instead, he turned his attention to my side.

That was my biological sister, Rose Martin.

In this life, she took Mr. Martin's surname.

So, we sisters had different surnames - one Burns, one Martin.

Rose struck the most beautiful pose, sweating profusely.

She swung the mop quickly, continuously wiping the floor in front of the doorway.

With a face full of pity, and even traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.

I couldn't help but laugh coldly.

Rose understood too well.

Was it really necessary to put on such a show for just mopping the floor?

Besides, her turned face was perfectly aimed at Jason.

Clearly, she was putting on a show for Jason.

His sweat seemed to have dripped from running two laps on the playground.

And why was she crying over mopping the floor?

Everything was done to win Jason over.
