Chapter 2

The old couple liked Su Meng but it was she who gave all this to Su Sui at her request. In fact, she never regretted that decision, even after receiving Su Sui’s indifference. Because it was her own choice. Even if she made a wrong decision, she had to bear the consequences for her choice.

But if she could do it again, she would definitely not give up this precious opportunity to Su Sui.

Su Meng took a deep breath and faced the old couple, holding back her heartbeat, and said word by word, “Grandpa Ling, I thought about it all night, and finally decided that I will go to the imperial capital with you.”

“Sister?” Su Sui asked sharply after hearing those words. Her voice changed slightly because of surprise. Su Meng didn’t look back at Su Sui. She only looked at the old couple in front of her nervously.

In her last life, she also learned a long time later that the elderly couple who looked very simple and generous and looked indistinguishable from other elderly people actually had a good background.

Lao Ling was a senior general before he retired. Although people cool down after retirement, that didn’t apply to him. Even though he had retired for many years, his prestige in the imperial capital had not diminished, not to mention that he had an exceptionally good son who would succeed him. As for Grandpa Ling’s wife, Grandma Zhang’s family background was also very unusual. Her father was also an excellent soldier. Grandpa Ling was a direct subordinate of her father. After seeing each other, they fell in love and got married. And she herself was a retired professor of the Music Department in the First Academy of the Imperial Capital.

Although the two of them had retired, they still maintained their knowledge and status. It was too easy for them to train a talented college student. In the previous life, Su Sui became a student of the music department of the First university in the imperial capital under the careful training of the two. As for herself, she didn’t even go to college and entered society even before graduating from high school.

The reason why she didn’t go to college was because she escaped from the adoptive house two years after she was adopted. Before being adopted, she never knew that this middle-aged man who looked like a gentleman and had a decent job was actually a wild, violent man who would pick up a broom and hit people at every chance he saw fit.

It was also after arriving at his house that she got to know that his wife was also beaten violently two or three days ago and the bruises on her body had not disappeared. But the cowardly and timid woman didn’t dare to struggle, rather dragged her into the fire pit.

Seeing the man, fear and disgust flashed in her heart. As soon as she saw him, she recalled the most difficult two years of her life.

But it was okay now.

“Everything is okay. This is just a dream and I would wake up from this dream soon.”

It didn’t matter if she couldn’t wake up. But, this time, she would never have any contact with them again.

Lao Ling was the first to react. He touched his beard and smiled, “Okay, my old lady and I got a deep feeling the first time we saw. Since you are willing to follow us that would be better.”

Grandma Zhang also said warmly, “Do you have anything to sort out? We will take the plane tomorrow, is that fine? We can change the booking before it’s too late.”

Facing such a gentle and soft person, Su Meng was a little uncomfortable for a while. In her previous life, she had experienced too many bad people and things. Hearing such gentle words almost made her cry.

She lowered her eyes, shook her head, and said softly, “No, I only have a few photos to take.” She finally found those photos from under the ruins. The other things were either buried under the ground, got damaged, or no longer found.

“Okay, then you and your sister have a talk.” The old couple and the other couple left the tent.

Only Su Meng and Su Sui were left in the tent.

As soon as they left, Su Sui immediately asked hysterically, “Sister, don’t you regret this? Haven’t you already said it? You obviously agreed with me!”

Because she had been loved by her family since childhood, Su Sui was a bit arrogant. Her face was full of anger and dissatisfaction, and her eyes were slightly red.

If it was the past Su Meng, seeing Su Sui like that she would have already relented.

But now Su Meng, seeing Su Sui, only felt ironic. Su Sui never changed. She had always been selfish and only had her self-interests before others. She knew that the middle-aged man couple was a scourge. Being adopted by him was equivalent to jumping into a fire pit. She knew everything, but told her nothing.

Su Meng clearly remembered that time, she escaped from that family because she couldn’t stand being beaten every day. Because of her young age, she was afraid to retaliate, so she didn’t know what to do other than escape.

Since she didn’t even graduate from high school, she couldn’t find a decent job at all. She had to do jobs such as dishwashing and serving dishes. After that, even survival became a problem. She had no choice but to contact her only relative when her life became unsustainable.

But then, what did she get?

What she got was that Su Sui indifferently threw a brand-new one-hundred-yuan note to her, and said coldly, “In the future, don’t come to me again. I don’t have a sister like you.”
