Nina inquired, "What's your educational background?"

Sue answered, "I graduated from a local university."

"We only recruit graduates from prestigious schools. Your credentials don't meet our standards," Nina promptly declined.

Sue's demeanor soured, but she plastered on a smile and retorted, "But you're employed there, aren't you? With a cousin like you, the alma mater shouldn't matter." Nina replied icily, "A reputable company adheres to standards. If you're so keen on cutting corners, you'll crumble sooner or later. There won't be any room for you."

After being rebuffed repeatedly, Sue grew disgruntled. "Nina, you're just unwilling to lend a hand. That's why you're saying this."

"You're well aware of it. If you're always depending on others, you'll be worse off than a beggar when no one lends a hand," Nina's words were cutting.

"If you won't help me, fine, but why insult me? Mom, look at her!" Sue couldn't bear the humiliation, her eyes turning red with anger.

Seeing her daughter upset, Lily scolded, "Nina, why are you talking to your cousin like that? She's your cousin, show some respect. You shouldn't let success get to your head just because you're successful."

Nina's expression remained composed as she replied calmly, "I haven't gotten arrogant. Even within a loving family, it's not as if you all appreciate us. You even managed to upset my father enough that he ended up in the hospital."
