Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The next day, Ye Linlang packed up her limited luggage and was sent all the way to A City in a dilapidated van.
A City was an extremely unfamiliar but extremely prosperous city.
It was completely different from the small desolate village.
Ye Linlang’s fate was changed from here.
The weather in late September was still very hot. Because the person who sent Ye Linlang was unwilling to spend money, he did not use the air conditioner.
Ye Linlang was sweating all over from the heat, but she couldn’t say anything.
It was already very good that someone could send her here.
When she arrived in A City, it was already evening.
The sunset filled the sky, dyeing a clear river around A City red.
Ye Linlang silently leaned against the car window, curiously looking at the city buildings that she had never seen before.
In the small desolate village, other than the village chief’s house, which was a five-story small building, almost all the other villagers had two or three-story tile-roofed houses.
That’s right, the small desolate village was that poor.
However, at this moment, looking at the colorful street outside the car window, as well as the young and fashionable men and women out shopping, Ye Linlang suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
She lowered her head to look at her short-sleeved shirt and jeans that had been washed until they were white. Suddenly, she had a feeling that she did not fit in.
However, Ye Linlang would not shrink back.
While she had low self-esteem, she was also a person who wanted to be strong.
Granny had always said to her, “Linlang, although we are poor, we cannot be poor in ambition. Don’t look down on yourself, okay?”
Ye Linlang would always remember every principle that the old woman had taught her.
In her heart, the position of the Song family’s old woman far surpassed that of other people, even the father and mother whom she had never met.
However, Ye Linlang still wanted to meet the parents who had never raised her for a day.
Perhaps, in the heart of every child, they all hoped that they could become a child who were doted on by their parents?
After Ye Linlang got out of the car, her bangs and clothes were wet with sweat, and she looked extremely miserable.
She stood at the intersection, looking at the heavy traffic. Her legs felt as heavy as lead.
Fortunately, the Ye family didn’t make Ye Linlang wait for too long.
It was a middle-aged maid from the Ye family, Aunt Liu, who came to pick Ye Linlang up.
Aunt Liu looked at Ye Linlang’s disheveled appearance and immediately felt a little disdainful.
As expected, what young miss? She was just a country bumpkin raised in the countryside.
If Old Madam Ye hadn’t said that she missed her granddaughter who had just been born and gave away before she died, saying that her heart was uneasy and saying it a few hundred times, it finally made the senior master take her seriously.
After all, it was his mother’s dying wish. If it wasn’t for the senior master’s filial piety, why would he be willing to bring this jinx back?
Seriously…
Aunt Liu pursed her lips and glanced at Ye Linlang unhappily.
“You’re Ye Linlang, right? I’m the Ye family’s maid, Aunt Liu. Come with me.”
Ye Linlang didn’t know if she should believe Aunt Liu, but when she saw the woman’s disdainful look, she felt inexplicably sad.
It turned out that… no one liked her even though she had moved from the small desolate village to A City.
Aunt Liu didn’t expect Ye Linlang to be so dull and motionless.
On such a hot day, even though it was time for dinner, the air in A City was scorching hot.
Aunt Liu immediately pulled her face. She grabbed Ye Linlang’s arm and dragged her forward.
“Do you really think you’re the eldest daughter of the Ye family?! Are you walking or not?!”
Although Ye Linlang had always been silent, she definitely did not like to be looked down upon like this.
Grandmother had said that even if others did not respect her, she had to understand that the most important thing was to understand and respect herself.
There was no need to live in the eyes of others.
Ye Linlang immediately frowned. She reached out and slowly moved Aunt Liu’s hand away.
Although she was weak, her movements were firm.
“Let go of your hand. I’ll go by myself.”
Aunt Liu did not expect a country bumpkin from a small mountain village to be so arrogant.
“Hey, you’re really…”
However, when she thought of this girl’s star of misfortune attribute, Aunt Liu immediately let go of her hand. At the same time, she coldly rolled her eyes at Ye Linlang.
“Who really wants to touch you?! Unlucky girl, the star of misfortune that goes against your parents…”
Aunt Liu spoke the last few words very softly, but coincidentally, Ye Linlang’s hearing was pretty good, so she heard every single word.
Ye Linlang’s face instantly turned pale.
The bane of her birth was like a curse, forever branded on her body.
Ye Linlang did not argue with Aunt Liu. She understood that this was really not a liar, but someone from the Ye family who came to pick her up. Otherwise, she would not know so much.
Ye Linlang silently followed behind Aunt Liu, clenching her fists tightly.
The setting sun continued to lengthen the young girl’s figure. She was only 16 years old, yet she was so lonely.
Just after crossing a street, Ye Linlang was brought into a magnificent and luxurious villa area.
One after another, beautiful european-style buildings stood proudly, the verdant trees scattering the ground with the setting sun’s broken golden rays.
It was so beautiful, like a dream.
This was the scene that Ye Linlang had only seen on TV.
It turned out that there was really someone in this world who could afford such a gorgeous house.
Ye Linlang thought.
Was this where her parents lived?
It seemed to be treatment that only a princess and a prince could enjoy in fairy tales.
It turned out that it was really like what the villagers said, her parents were actually very rich, it was not that they couldn’t afford to support her.
It was… that they really didn’t want her.
The truth was always so cruel.
Ye Linlang’s footsteps stopped, and her heart ached.
Aunt Liu saw that Ye Linlang had been staring at the colorful buildings here. She mistook Ye Linlang’s eyes for being dazzled, and immediately despised this country bumpkin even more.
As expected, she was ignorant!
“Hurry up and come over!”
Hearing Aunt Liu’s scolding, Ye Linlang quickly came back to her senses and followed the middle-aged maid into the Ye family’s courtyard.
As soon as they entered, Ye Linlang saw many people looking at her in unison.
In the courtyard with the small pond, other than those who were obviously maids, there were three other people.
A middle-aged couple dressed luxuriously was sitting and chatting.
There was also a young girl who looked very young from the back. Ye Linlang could only see her side. The girl seemed to be feeding the fish in the pond with bait.
Aunt Liu put away her arrogant attitude towards Ye Linlang and nodded to the middle-aged couple in a flattering manner.
“Master, madam, Ye Linlang is here.”
Ye Linlang’s mind was blown.
No matter how slow she was, after hearing this address, she could understand that this middle-aged couple in front of her was her parents.
Ye Linlang had always fantasized about what kind of people her parents would be.
Now that she saw the middle-aged man who frowned at her and the beautiful middle-aged woman who snorted coldly, Ye Linlang suddenly felt that her coming here was a joke.
She was like a clown, allowing others to size her up.
And when the young girl who was feeding the fish heard Aunt Liu’s words, she suddenly turned around.
She raised her chin proudly and cast a sidelong glance at Ye Linlang.
“You are the Ye Linlang?”
