Ethan's younger brother was going to film a dating reality show at the Sterling family estate. And Ethan and I accidentally became the foil couple in this entertainment circle romance. At first, netizens mocked me, the matriarch, as just a decoration. Husband doesn't love her, mother-in-law makes things difficult. Later. Netizens tagged the show's official account en masse: [I love watching the Big Brother and Sister-in-law show off their love. Ten thousand blood signatures asking for more screen time for them!] [Just love scavenging for crumbs of sweetness from the Big Brother and Sister-in-law in the corner of the screen!] [My blood sugar is low; I urgently need the Big Brother and Sister-in-law to sprinkle some sugar to replenish!] 1 Ethan Sterling's younger brother, Liam, had a whirlwind romance. Trending on social media every other day. His romance was with the famous movie queen of the entertainment circle—Bella Davis. The playboy settled down. He pestered Ethan for a month and finally got him to agree to film a dating reality show at the old family estate. Ethan only told me the news a week before the recording. "Just cooperating to record a few episodes. If you don't want to be on camera, we can move out for a while." I lay lazily on the bed, my smooth neck and shoulders looming under the cover of black hair. "Forget it, too lazy to move." I've been married to Ethan for three years. Always lived in the old estate. Used to living here, too lazy to move back and forth. 2 On the day of the recording. I opened my sleepy eyes and slowly went downstairs. Ethan had explained to the program team in advance not to film anything related to me casually. Downstairs was already bustling. Bella was surrounded by a group of people, looking every bit the hostess. Seeing me come downstairs out of the corner of her eye, she enthusiastically instructed Nanny Wang. "Nanny Wang, please prepare a breakfast for Sister-in-law too." Nanny Wang looked at me hesitantly. I yawned and nodded lightly. Seeing me nod, Nanny Wang then asked the kitchen to serve the food. Liam, eating breakfast, greeted me, "Sister-in-law, good morning." I responded with sleepy eyes: "Morning." "Big Brother went to the company?" Liam asked. "Hmm? Probably?" My tone was uncertain. After all, he gets up earlier than the chickens. Even after a fierce battle at night, it doesn't affect his early rising habit of decades. Moreover, Ethan, this man. As the successor of the Sterling family. The self-discipline and restraint cultivated since childhood would not let him be in an out-of-control state. Even marital life is strictly controlled to once every few days. While waiting for the food to be served. Bella suddenly came over and sat next to me, smilingly wrapped her arm around mine, and greeted the camera. "It's Sister-in-law's first time facing the camera, so stage fright is inevitable. I hope my fans will bear with her." Then she turned her head and looked at me with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to be afraid. My fans are very friendly." So I just appeared on camera with a bare face and a confused expression. Bella focused on the live comments, answering netizens' questions slowly with a sweet smile on her face. "Everyone thinks Sister-in-law looks familiar? That might be because Sister-in-law has a very common face." "Asking how old Sister-in-law is? Shh! A woman's age cannot be told casually~" Bella picked a few questions to answer, then realizing everyone's attention was still on me. She sat back down, attempting to pull the topic back to herself. At this moment, the live comments were still very lively. [Is she Liam Sterling's sister-in-law? The wife of the president of Sterling Group?] [Sister-in-law really looks familiar, not the common-face kind of familiar. I should have seen her on TV before!] [Is Sister-in-law preparing to ride on Bella's coattails to debut?] [Bella is too kind, letting Sister-in-law leech off her screen time for free.] [I came specifically to see Bella. Bella is so beautiful!!!] [Bella is too happy. Her fiancé is so handsome and rich, and spoils her so much!] And me. Always wandering in outer space. Sleepy. Really sleepy. Ethan just came back from a week-long business trip. The rigorous man went crazy last night and made up for all the missed marital life this week. I couldn't quite handle it. 3 After the meal. Liam went to the study to handle matters. So I was dragged by the enthusiastic Bella to choose a wedding dress for her on the sofa. She and Liam were already engaged and preparing to get married soon. "Sister Sarah, do you think this one looks good?" I glanced at her, then at the exquisite wedding dress catalog in her hand, and responded: "Good looking." "What about this one?" I glanced again, "Also good looking." "Sister Sarah, I heard you and Big Brother didn't have a wedding?" Bella flipped through the catalog and asked seemingly inadvertently. I was gnawing on an apple. Crunch, answering a beat slow: "No." Bella covered her lips in surprise, "Big Brother didn't even give you a wedding?" I shook my head and explained, "I didn't want to have one." Ethan and I belong to a family alliance marriage. No emotional foundation. Before getting the certificate, he asked me: "When do you want to hold the wedding? Church or beach?" At that time, I didn't have high expectations for this marriage. After all, before the alliance, the two only heard of each other's names but never met. No feelings, completely strangers. Thinking of exchanging rings and kissing a stranger in front of the officiant. I said almost without thinking: "Let's not do it, boring." Remember he stared at me calmly at that time. After a long silence, he agreed. When someone asked, he only said he didn't want to do it. Taking all the criticism on himself. Bella didn't seem to hear, still talking to herself: "Every woman dreams of having a perfect wedding of her own." "How could Big Brother not hold a wedding?" Her face faintly carried sympathy for me. Seeing this, I didn't speak anymore, too lazy to explain too much. "Liam said he would give me a wedding of the century. I told him not to spend so much, but he insisted, saying he would never let me regret marrying him." "But every one of these wedding dresses is so beautiful; I'm having difficulty choosing." Bella's tone was娇憨 (spoiled/naive), seemingly angry but actually acting coquettish. The happiness on her face could be felt by fans even outside the screen. [Liam Sterling spoils Bella too much. Bella is so happy.] [I still love watching Bella and Liam getting along, so sweet so sweet.] [No harm without comparison. Look, Sister-in-law's face is dark.] [Can her face not be dark? She and Liam's brother are just a wealthy alliance marriage, with no emotional foundation at all, right? I think maybe Ethan Sterling wasn't willing to hold a wedding.] "Sister Sarah, I'm really dazzled. How about you choose one for me?" Bella moved the catalog over. I flipped through a few pages casually, finally pointing at one of them, "This one is very beautiful." Bella glanced casually, "This waist design isn't outstanding." Then she closed the catalog, "Forget it, I'll let Liam choose with me next time. His taste is never wrong." 4 After looking at wedding dresses. She continued to drag me to look at rings. "Sister Sarah, didn't Big Brother buy you a wedding ring?" Bella's gaze turned to my hand. Only a plain band was worn on the ring finger. The totem pattern was weird, like goods from a dollar store. "Yes." I glanced at the ring on my hand. On the day we got the certificate, I found two rings on the bedside table. One was a very large and bright diamond ring. The other was this one on my hand. Ethan asked me which one I wanted to wear. Although I disliked this one for being ugly, the other diamond ring was too big and inconvenient for activities. Without thinking much, I chose this one. "Just this one? Big Brother didn't buy it at a dollar store, did he? Haha, Sister-in-law, I like to joke usually, don't mind me." Bella stuck out her tongue at the camera. Then she extended her slender hand, only to see a huge diamond ring on her middle finger. It was the engagement ring Liam gave her. She waved her hand, "I told Liam not to spend so much. I disliked such a big diamond ring for being heavy and inconvenient for activities, but he insisted on buying it. I couldn't stop him." "A few days ago, he insisted that I must choose a style bigger than the engagement ring." "Sister Sarah, help me choose one." "Sure." I happened to have nothing to do, so I flipped through the catalog slowly. Liam just finished his work and came out of the study. He wrapped his arm around Bella's shoulder, kissed her, and asked her, "Bella, how is the ring selection going?" Bella smiled shyly, "I'm choosing with Sister-in-law." Then she changed the subject, "Liam, Big Brother is really something, not even buying a decent ring for Sister-in-law." "Why don't we buy one for Sister-in-law too? It counts as making up for a regret for Big Brother." Bella thought she was thoughtful enough, and Liam would definitely nod in agreement. Unexpectedly, Liam's gaze swept over my hand. He said disapprovingly: "Bella, don't underestimate the ring Sister-in-law is wearing." "The ring on Sister-in-law's hand is an heirloom of the Sterling family, representing the status of the matriarch." "Only she can wear this ring. Seeing her is like seeing Big Brother. She can walk sideways in the Capital." Words fell. The smile on Bella's face disappeared. She was rarely stunned. The look in her eyes at the ring changed. With inquiry, and a trace of desire. Me: ? This ugly ring has this meaning? Why didn't Ethan tell me. I thought it was just an ordinary ring and kept wearing it because it was light. [Wow, I said this ring looked like a fake at first glance, but looking closely, the totem on the ring is indeed the Sterling family crest!] [Thought Sister-in-law wasn't valued by Big Brother, didn't expect Big Brother gave everything he should!] [Bella don't be sad, you'll have it too when you marry in.] [Probably not. There is only one matriarch position, unless something happens to Big Brother and Liam inherits the family business.] [Why doesn't Bella have it! Just because Liam ranks second, she can't be the matriarch, can't wear this ring?!] [Didn't they say Big Brother doesn't like Sister-in-law? Why give her the ring to wear?] [Sister-in-law is Big Brother's wife, Big Brother is the Sterling family heir. If not for Sister-in-law, for whom?] The comments argued into a pot of porridge because of this ring. Jealousy rose in Bella's heart. Her gaze kept circling on the ring I was wearing. Until Liam asked her: "Bella, what's wrong?" Only then did she move her gaze away with difficulty. Beckoning Liam to run to the other side of the sofa to choose rings.
