Chapter 58 They were originally equally 'vicious' people
Shi Sui didn't understand why Xu Chaomu would suddenly bring up family.
This made her think of the sixteen years she was destined to live.
The boy she was holding hands with was wearing a blue and white school uniform. He seemed aloof and unapproachable, yet he possessed a quiet warmth and an ever-present sense of security.
She had never told anyone about her experiences, those things buried deep in her heart that she didn't want to tell anyone, those years she had been avoiding. Suddenly, it was as if she had found an outlet to confide in him. She wanted to tell him so much.
Perhaps because of their similar experiences, he had a gambling father, a runaway mother, and a mountain of debt, while she had an alcoholic and abusive adoptive father, a mentally challenged adoptive mother, and two silent, fake brothers.
Some things, if kept inside for too long, might lead to depression.
“When I was a child, I was drugged and abducted by human traffickers in a shopping mall.” Shi Sui said slowly, “The traffickers sold me to the mountains in the southwest, where there are mountains one after another, like a hell from which I can never escape.”
“My adoptive father was a cement worker who was an alcoholic and beat my adoptive mother. My adoptive mother was mentally challenged and had two sons who were also mentally challenged. I was bought as their child bride.”
"I'm good at fighting because I was abused by my adoptive father and I learned it by fighting with him."
“I used to think, either he kills me, or I kill him.”
"Fortunately, heaven had eyes. He died one winter from drinking fake alcohol. I was very happy, but actually a little unhappy, because I didn't let him die by my hand."
"Doesn't that sound vicious? I want to beat my adoptive father to death."
She really does have the blood of a vicious female supporting character flowing through her veins.
Xu Chaomu looked down at her. The girl's bright eyes were somewhat unfocused, her expression was calm, and her tone was equally calm as she spoke, as if she were telling someone else's story.
Only someone who has truly experienced despair and heartbreak would have such an expression.
Xu Chaomu had no idea that Shi Sui's experience was even more tragic than he had imagined.
He held her hand tightly, and he felt that her hand seemed to have gotten colder, even though it should have warmed up when the two of them were close.
“No, not at all malicious,” Xu Chaomu said. “Because I used to really want to kill my dad.”
“I’m physically weak, so I can’t beat him in a fight, but I’ve thought about poisoning him.”
He lowered his eyes and continued, "I'm the chemistry class representative, and I'm always the last one to leave the lab. Later, the teacher put me in charge of managing the lab keys. I've already made a plan to steal chemical reagents and concoct poison."
He had always been low-key and taciturn at school. Running for chemistry class representative was the first and only time he stood on the podium and uttered those false campaign promises.
“But,” Xu Chaomu suddenly smiled and said, “but heaven has eyes. Before I could even concoct the poison, that man died in a car accident, leaving behind a mountain of debt.”
Shi Sui was stunned for a moment.
They were originally equally 'vicious' people.
"And then?" Shi Sui asked.
"Later, I became an orphan, living on the run from debt collectors."
Shi Sui looked up at him. The boy spoke in a very relaxed tone, and his eyes, which were clear and bright, held a fatal attraction.
“But now the debts have been paid off, and I’m just an orphan,” Xu Chaomu said casually.
"What a coincidence! I'm also an orphan." Shi Sui smiled happily. "My adoptive father died, and I came out of the mountains in the southwest. From now on, I'm all alone. It's so good to be orphaned!"
Xu Chaomu was taken aback. The girl's dark, beautiful eyes curved into a smile, and her voice was cheerful. She was genuinely happy.
It turns out they were kindred spirits; no wonder he wanted to hold on to her from the very first moment he saw her.
Xu Chaomu asked, "What about the Jiang family?"
“I’ve thought it through, I won’t consider that place my home.”
Shi Sui took a deep breath and continued, "Two years after my adoptive father died, I came out of that mountain because of my studies. Because I had memories of the time before I was abducted, I have been trying my best to find my relatives."
"I returned to the Jiang family through the internet with the help of kind-hearted people."
"But I never expected that these so-called relatives didn't care about me at all..."
They already have the perfect Jiang family heiress, and they don't need her at all.
Just two months ago, she still longed for 'home'. She thought anywhere would be better than the mountains, so she tried every means to go home.
But I never expected it to be such a 'home'.
As Shi Sui was speaking, the next second, the boy's refreshing, minty scent wafted over her, and she fell into a cool embrace, her breathing becoming disordered.
Xu Chaomu whispered in her ear, "Then let's leave the Jiang family."
"Of course." Just as she was fleeing the mountains, she would definitely flee the Jiang family as well.
Suppressing his desires, he embraced her with a distance that seemed both close and distant, as if afraid of being pushed away. He took a breath of hers without making a sound, and then released her.
Shi Sui thought the hug was an illusion. Before she could come to her senses, she looked up at the boy's eyes, which were full of unspoken thoughts.
A gambling father, a runaway mother, and a mountain of debt.
He was neither crushed by family troubles nor overwhelmed by debt, and he managed to live to the age of seventeen. Was he destined to die young simply because of the "white moonlight" character in the novel?
This is not fair.
They were both cannon fodder characters in the novel; she was a villainous supporting female character, and he was a cannon fodder ideal woman.
If she was able to become rich and change her fate through learning, then Xu Chaomu certainly could too.
"Xu Chaomu, you must be healthy, happy, and live a long life." Shi Sui gently hugged him.
Xu Chaomu was stunned, her dark eyes, which were full of unspoken thoughts, smiled.
The hug was a blessing, devoid of any romantic undertones. Shi Sui quickly let go of his hand, her eyes fixed on his backpack: "Top student, you haven't given me your notes yet."
After rambling on for so long, it's almost dark. Where are your notes?
*
Shi Sui was overjoyed to receive the notebook. Xu Chaomu invited her to the bookstore, but because she had promised Chi Yan not to go to the bookstore, she could only reluctantly refuse.
After parting ways with Xu Chaomu, she went to the luxury supermarket on the basement floor of SPK Shopping Center as planned to buy ingredients for tomorrow's lunch. Finally, she hailed a taxi on the roadside and went home.
The car drove smoothly to the residential area, and after the security guard at the entrance confirmed the identity, it was driven inside.
From afar, you can see that the entrance to the Jiang family villa is bustling with activity.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, whom they hadn't seen for many days, along with the Jiang family's housekeeper, nanny, cook, driver, and the nanny from the villa next door... about a dozen people, some they knew and some they didn't, were currently blocking the doorway.
The one surrounded by them in the center was naturally Jiang Tianyao.
The girl had long, slightly curled hair, and her large eyes were filled with tears. The glistening tears slid down her cheeks, making her look pitiful.
"Don't stop me." She held a small pink suitcase in her hand, tears welling up in her eyes, and choked out.
