During those days, Lu Yao hid at home and did not dare to meet anyone. She was afraid of seeing the strange gazes and undisguised malice of others. Those people used all means to curse and insult her, as if her existence was an insult to the entire capital.

Her father and brother were not by her side either. They had been busy overseas with the leak of the company’s secrets. Later on, the first time Lu Yao went out was after her father and brother returned to the country. She was informed by the school to bring her parents to apply for expulsion.

Her private life was chaotic and she was having an affair with all kinds of men. The obscene video that was uploaded to the website even implicated a teacher in the school. In addition, Lu Yao did not come to school without informing them. She missed class for too long, and it was rumored that she was pregnant with that teacher’s child. In order to control the public opinion, the school decided to expel her.

Her eldest brother brought her to school to settle the withdrawal procedures. As soon as she entered the school gate, she heard people discussing Hu Yuting’s strange death. She was very sad and even asked her father and eldest brother to investigate, but there was no news at all.

The Lu family’s foundation was too shallow to interfere too much with the Hu family, one of the six great families. At that time, the Lu Family Group’s secrets were leaked. Her father and brother endured the pressure and accusations from all directions, but they still tried their best to help her investigate Hu Yuting.

Not long after, her father discovered that Song Qinglian was having an affair with his brother and was schemed to death by the two of them. Her eldest brother forced himself to inherit the company. Later on, her eldest brother’s fiancée was killed by her younger brother, who was driving while drunk. Her eldest brother was heartbroken and left the country dejectedly.

Her younger brother was simple-minded and had little social experience. Helpless, he accepted the company and began to deal with matters. Lu Yao was also sent to prison by Song Qinglian and her daughter. The child in her stomach was also aborted at this time. At that time, she had no intention of living anymore.

Too many things had happened in a short period of time, so she did not have the ability to interfere in the investigation of Hu Yuting.

In her previous life, Lu Yao had a mortal body. Even if she had the chance to see Hu Yuting before she died, she wouldn’t be able to tell that she was wrapped in a blood mist, let alone know how she died. This time, since she had seen it and had the ability to deal with the baleful aura, she must save her friend from this evil creature!

“Lu Yao, do you still want to eat braised pork today? I really have to hand it to you. You eat such greasy food every morning.” The two of them walked into the canteen hand in hand. Although Hu Yuting complained, she still naturally walked to the window with her tray.

Lu Yao looked thin and tall. She usually didn’t like to eat anything except this braised pork.

It was hard to imagine how tempting this thing was.

When Lu Yao saw the braised pork, her eyes were a little dazed, but she quickly regained her composure. “I’ll just eat it.” In her previous life, Lu Yao had wandered in the foreign borders alone. Before she returned to the Lu family, this dish was a trauma to her.

The village where Lu Yao lived was far away from human habitation and very backward. Most of the villagers had not received much education. With the convenience of being at the border, they basically did some burning, killing, and plundering to make ends meet.

Lu Yao had always deliberately kept a low profile and never took the initiative to get into any conflict with anyone. Later on, when she slowly became stronger and understood that kind people were bullied, she began not to deliberately restrain herself. In order to integrate into the local society, she learned many bad habits. Although she was unwilling, there was no better way to survive.

Lu Yao would never forget the painful life she had experienced when she was ten years old. There was a man in the village who was nearly 50 years old. He was the brother-in-law of the village chief and held a lot of power. He often used his status to commit evil.

He often went to harass Lu Yao, and she didn’t dare to fall out with him. Every time, she just avoided him silently. Later on, he came to Lu Yao’s house with a bowl of braised pork.

Life in remote villages was backward. Most people lived a life of hunger. Often, they would snatch something or steal something home to eat. Not to mention Lu Yao, who was only ten years old. She could only occasionally steal sweet potatoes and corn from other people’s fields to fill her stomach.

She had not eaten anything decent for almost a week before the man arrived. When she was hungry, she drank water and ate wild fruits. She was so hungry that she curled up on the bed and could barely see the person in front of her. She smelled the fragrance in front of her and could not help but get up and reach out to him.

The other party bared his yellow and black cigarette-stained teeth and smiled maliciously. “If you call me Daddy, this bowl of braised pork will be yours.” The other party spoke in fluent Chinese and tempted the girl in front of him.
