Shi Yao stood at the door, staring in the direction of the master bedroom. Her fingers gripped tightly onto the handle of her luggage.
She didn’t hear what her parents were arguing about, but she could tell that they seemed to have made a move. Something fell to the ground, producing a sharp cracking sound.
Shi Yao pursed her lips silently, as though she had never returned home before. She closed the door softly, pulled her luggage, and entered the elevator.
After exiting the residential area, Shi Yao randomly found a direction and dragged her luggage along aimlessly. She didn’t know how long she had been walking for, nor did she know where she was going.., it was only when she was too tired to continue walking that she finally stopped.
At this moment, the sky was already dark, and the streetlights by the street lit up one after another.
Shi Yao stood by the side of the road, staring at the traffic on the street before her. She suddenly felt a little lost.
She felt as if everything she had just heard was a nightmare.
But no matter how much she tried to avoid it, no matter how much she didn’t want to face it, she couldn’t help but realize that the family harmony that she had always thought of, and the atmosphere that her parents doted on, were all illusions.
To them, what was she? Was she a tool for them to rise to fame?
If not for her grandfather’s guidance, would she have lost her father six years ago? Would she have lost her so-called family as well?
She had always thought that her engagement with Lin Jiage was the result of her grandfather’s generation placing great importance on relationships. However, the quarrel between her parents today made her realize that it wasn’t as simple as she thought..
The Lin family treated her really well. Be it grandfather Lin, Lin Jiage’s parents, Lin Jiage’s aunt or uncle, sister Jiayi, or even the servants and chauffeur of the Lin family, they all treated her really well, so well that she felt that they treated her even better than her parents did. It was precisely because they treated her so well that she felt that they were doing their best to give her something good. She couldn’t accept it with a clear conscience. She had to remember that she had to return it to them..
But what about her parents? To think that they would take away a million from the Lin family with such a clear conscience… she did have an engagement with Lin jiage, but that was just an engagement. She didn’t marry Lin Jiage, so the money didn’t belong to her. Even if she did.., but even so, she couldn’t spend the Lin family’s money like that..
Shi Yao couldn’t tell whether she was mentally or physically tired. She slowly squatted down and buried her head in her knees.
Honestly speaking, she couldn’t accept such a truth..
The scene she had accidentally knocked over in the afternoon had not only overturned her understanding of the Lin family, but it also made her heart feel as if it was weighed down by a stone. The thought of the Lin family weighed heavily on her heart, and what made her even sadder was.., did her parents really love her? Or did they have a daughter in their hearts? What was she to them? A money tree? A welfare lottery ticket?
Shi Yao squatted on the main road for a long time before she got up and dragged her luggage to the nearest subway station to return to school.
Leng Nuan, Jiang Yue, and he tiantian were all in the dormitory room. Upon seeing her return, they immediately began pestering her for gossip.
Jiang Yue: “Yaoyao, hurry up and tell me. What did you and senior Lin Do When you went to Chengdu?”
He tiantian: “Yaoyao, how far have you gotten with senior Lin?”
Leng Nuan: “After a while, Yaoyao, Can We Eat Wedding Candies Now?”
From the start to the end, Shi Yao didn’t make a single sound. She simply found a random spot to put her luggage down, threw a towel and pajamas, and said, “I’m going to take a shower.”Then, she went into the bathroom.
