Qiaoqiao, sitting in front of me, became Little Taotie’s second same-sex best friend after Xiao Lingzhi.
Little Taotie cherished her good friends very much.
Because in the mountains, she was isolated and desperately longed for good friends.
She always heard her grandfather say that a good friend is someone who will reach out and help you when you are in trouble.
At that time, Little Taotie’s dream was to make a hundred good friends!
When she saw her good friend in difficulty, Little Taotie thought of her grandfather’s words.
She reached out her hand and held Qiaoqiao’s, "I will help you!"
Qiaoqiao shook her head tremblingly, "No one can help me, my grandparents and father all think I pushed her, they all think I’m ungrateful..."
Even though her face was disfigured, no one blamed her stepmother, and she even heard her grandmother say behind her back, "She deserved it, it was her who caused the death of my dear grandson!"
She heard from the Filipino maid that the child was a baby boy.
She knew that her grandmother valued males over females and that losing a grandson made her grandmother hate and despise her.
"There must be a way! Nothing is flawless!" Little Taotie touched her pocket and pulled out a toy pipe, "Even the perfect crime has flaws in the eyes of the great detective Sherlock Holmes!"
"Qiaoqiao, there is no such thing as a perfect lie in this world! As long as someone lies, the truth behind the lie can always be found, to clear your name!"
Qiaoqiao looked at her, meeting Little Taotie’s sparkling eyes, as if drawn to them, she involuntarily felt trust.
Qiaoqiao whispered softly, "Little Taotie, I believe in you."
"What about your stepmother?" Little Taotie asked.
Qiaoqiao looked down and whispered softly, "She moved to another place, my father, grandfather, and grandmother moved away with her."
In the big house, only the disfigured Qiaoqiao and a Filipino maid remained.
Little Taotie felt even more sympathy for her friend.
She put herself in the other’s shoes and thought if her own face was disfigured, she would definitely be very upset and need everyone to stay by her side to comfort her; if she were left alone, she would be terribly upset and would cry endlessly...
After becoming a young designer, Little Taotie was a little girl with high standards for herself, she read a magazine in which a very famous designer said, "If you want others to trust you, first you need to present them with a reason to trust you. If you can’t even perfect your own image and astonish everyone, how can you expect to make others shine like stars around the moon?"
Little Taotie felt that this foreigner made a lot of sense, and considering she was also a designer, she couldn’t let herself become ugly, so her sense of beauty improved, and she began to love wearing pretty dresses and looking in the mirror.
Sometimes, when she saw herself in advertisements with her mouth full of grease, she regretted how greedy she had been, but the next time she ate, she would forget all about it.
Following the address given by Qiaoqiao, Little Taotie, Hua Jinyan, the sports committee member, and Little Fatty arrived at a villa complex.
The security guard wouldn’t let strangers in, but luckily Little Fatty was the naive son of a landlord who had properties all over the place, and as it happened, there was a villa bought by Little Fatty’s father here.
After Little Fatty called his father, and his father spoke with the security guard, the guard finally let the young property owner in.
Little Taotie, Hua Jinyan, and the sports committee member all benefited from this and slipped into the villa complex as well.
They didn’t go to the villa bought by Little Fatty’s father, but to Qiaoqiao’s family villa.
Little Taotie tried to reach the doorbell but couldn’t, and Hua Jinyan, who wanted to help, found that he couldn’t reach it either.
It was the tallest of them all, the sports committee member, who stretched out his hand, jumped up, and managed to press it, causing the doorbell to finally ring.
