Chapter 1053: Darkness Before The Light

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Before she met Jiang Qiran, Ye Linlang’s life was filled with darkness.

She never knew that when she was sixteen years old, the world would undergo such a drastic change.

Fortunately, she met him.

He was just like a light that shone into her dark life.

In Jiuzhou, there was a remote mountain village.

This place was never prosperous. It was in the shadow of modernization, and even the water and electricity were often cut off. Every time there was a power cut, the entire mountain village would be pitch black.

If it was a sunny day, the villagers would bring out chairs from every house to sit and chat.

Ye Linlang’s childhood began in such a remote mountain village.

From the time Ye Linlang could remember, from the gossips of the villagers, she knew that she was an ominous existence.

She never knew the names of her biological parents, but she knew very well that her parents were still alive and had only abandoned her.

Every time she went out, she could feel that someone was looking at her.

It was that mocking gaze that made Linlang feel very uncomfortable.

The sun gradually set in the west.

A few middle-aged women who had nothing better to do were knitting while looking at Ye Linlang with ill intentions.

“Look, look, it’s that little star of disaster brought by Granny Song! Tsk tsk, she’s already grown so much.”

“I heard that that wild girl’s parents have quite a background. They’re the richest family in the city!”

“Don’t listen to them. I’ve really seen it before. When this little star of disaster was sent here, heh, it was such a big scene!”

“My grandmother saw it too! She said that it was a shiny luxury Audi! The clothes those people wore were really better looking than the ones in the TV series.”

“Yeah, how could such a rich family not be able to support a girl? Why did they send her to such a remote place?”

A middle-aged woman in a bright red dress shook her head proudly, showing off the gossip from 800 years ago.

“You’re too ignorant. I heard that she’s a jinx. They say that she killed her own brother when she was just born! Don’t you think it’s disgusting?”

“Ah, there’s such a thing?!”

“I heard it from my elders. I don’t know whether it’s true or not. But look, after the Song family’s Granny adopted her, didn’t her only son and daughter-in-law die in a car accident while they were out working?”

“In the past, they were fine when they were out working. Why did they die in a car accident after Ye Linlang, that wretched girl, came?”

“How pitiful. The Song family’s Granny is so lonely. She doesn’t even have a son to take care of her.”

“That’s right! But looking at the Song family’s Granny’s movements, if she dies one day, she would definitely have been killed by Ye Linlang, that wretched girl!”

After all, they were only so far away from her. It was difficult for Ye Linlang not to hear those mocking discussions.

But this was not the first time.

After hearing too much, no matter how much they hurt, she would become numb.

Yes, in this small mountain village that everyone knew, she was known as such a jinx.

Other than the Granny, no one liked her.

When Ye Linlang was still very young, when she saw that other kids had parents, she could not help but pull on the sleeves of the Song family’s Granny.

“Granny, does Linlang have parents too? They say that I’m a love child, a bastard that no one wants. What is a love child and bastard?”

Ye Linlang’s large, muddled eyes were wide open as she leaned innocently into the Song family’s Granny’s embrace.

The Granny, who was already in her seventies, held Ye Linlang firmly. Her wrinkled eyes were filled with love.

She reached out and caressed the skinny little girl in her embrace. She couldn’t bear to break Ye Linlang’s beautiful innocence.

“Linlang, you have to know that everyone has a father and mother. Of course, you have them as well. Don’t listen to those people outside, okay? Linlang isn’t a bastard, nor is Linlang a love child. Linlang is a very, very good child.”

A very, very good child?

The young Ye Linlang accepted the Song family’s Granny’s explanation to her just like that.

Other than the Granny though, no one else would define her in this way.

Ye Linlang smiled innocently. She took the opportunity to move into a comfortable position in the Granny’s arms and blinked her big eyes as she looked at the Granny.

“Granny, Granny, if Linlang also has a father and mother, then why do other children’s parents stay by their side, but Linlang’s aren’t like that?”

“Does father and mother feel that Linlang isn’t obedient enough? If I’m not a good child, then they don’t want Linlang… those people all say that I’m not good… Father and mother don’t want me.”

As Ye Linlang said this, her big clear eyes were covered with a layer of dust.

It was so gloomy and dejected.

In fact, even if she didn’t understand what those adults meant by mocking her, a girl who didn’t have a father or a mother and was constantly being criticized by others was still sensitive in her bones.

She even felt inferior.

When she saw those parents coming to pick up their children from school, Ye Linlang suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness.

That was why she asked.

Where were her parents?

Why didn’t they want her?

When she saw Ye Linlang’s bitter face, the Song family’s Granny’s smile froze slightly.

The child was still so young, which bastard instilled this information into her?

As she was afraid that it would cast a shadow over Ye Linlang’s young mind, Granny quickly thought of a suitable answer.

“Silly child, how could your mommy and daddy not want you? Linlang is so cute. It’s just that mommy and daddy are too busy, so they have to wait for you to grow up for some time before they can come and pick you up.”

Thus, Ye Linlang firmly believed that her parents would definitely come and pick her up.

Just as Granny said, she was a little angel, and her parents would definitely like her.

Ye Linlang maintained this fantasy until she was seven years old.

Ye Linlang remembered that it was a very hot afternoon. Suddenly, the village chief brought a huge crowd of people to their house.

He said that Granny’s son and daughter-in-law had died.

Granny could not bear the news and fainted on the spot.

Ye Linlang was also stunned.

From that day onwards, in this small mountain village, the news that Ye Linlang was a jinx was confirmed.

The villagers all said that if it was not for Ye Linlang, the jinx, how could a person who was perfectly fine die?

After ending that unbearable memory, Ye Linlang silently tugged on the strap of her school bag that had long been washed white. Without saying a word, she ignored those people and walked towards the Granny’s house.

In fact, Ye Linlang really did not want to go to school, because there were also too many people who ridiculed her in school.

Therefore, when Ye Linlang came home from school, it was the happiest moment for her.

However, Granny Song had been firmly telling Ye Linlang, “Linlang, you’re a good child. You have to obediently study, understand? If you don’t obediently study, your parents won’t look for you.”

After all, she was 16 years old. Ye Linlang knew that Granny Song was just comforting her. If her parents still wanted her, why wouldn’t they have come by now?

In the end, she couldn’t bear to hurt Granny’s heart. Ye Linlang still studied well and never skipped school.

However, all the peace was broken on this day.

Ye Linlang hadn’t even reached Granny’s door when she suddenly saw a dense crowd at the door. There were sighs all around.

“What a sin!”

This scene seemed familiar.

Ye Linlang’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately threw away her school bag and rushed towards the Granny’s house like a maniac!

[ That’s right! The story of Jiang Qiran x Ye Linlang will be interspersed with Jiang Miaomiao, Wan Wan and Xuecheng. ~Hope everyone likes it~ ]
