At nine-thirty in the evening, after taking a shower, Ren Xinghe sat under the desk lamp, preparing to write hard.
However, when she opened the wrong question book and saw the eight words written on the first page, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She didn't know if the old man had seen it.
The college entrance examination was coming up in less than three months. Ren Xinghe paid her attention and was about to open the collection of wrong questions to see the solution ideas that Ku Jie had written to her. However, at this time, her mother called.
Ren Xinghe held his breath and answered the phone: "Mom."
"I heard that you moved out from Ren's house? Is this true?" Ren's mother asked angrily on the other end of the phone, "Why did you move out? You left just in line with that couple's wishes. That house I also have your share, do you hope that a wild species will come out to compete with you for your family property in the future?"
After hearing these words, Ren Xinghe's face suddenly turned pale.
Has she gotten carried away recently
"I don't care what your reasons are, just move back to me quickly and take the old lady of the Ren family with you. You are very brave. If the old lady has any shortcomings, what will you do? Xinghe, you are an adult, can you do more? Use your brain and stop acting like an idiot? I finally managed to hold your dad back with shares, can you give me some credit?"
"If you don't move back, don't take the college entrance examination! Is it useful to get into a good school? Guarding your father's property is the most important thing."
"Give you three days, otherwise, I will go to school to find your teacher."
"In the past, it was you who told me that studying was my only way out. It was you who told me that as long as I studied well, I would have hope in life. Now you suddenly come to ask me, is it useful to get into a good school?" Ren Xinghe couldn't believe it. With tears in her eyes, she asked her mother on the phone, "Am I your master's tool for revenge?"
"I asked you to study hard in the past because your father would give you some incentives because of your good grades and like you. But now that he only wants a son, what else are you studying for? Ren Xinghe, mom is giving you advice!"
Ren Xinghe weakly hammered down his right hand and sneered: "Actually, you want to force me to death, right?"
"Ren Xinghe!"
"Why? Why do you always break my will little by little when I feel that I have hope? I always thought that you were different from the two of the Ren family. At least, you wanted me to become a talented person. I am just now Understand your true purpose. You just don’t want to take advantage of the woman at home because you hate them. But you hate them. Why do you want to use me as a weapon? Don’t I have a heart? Or in your eyes, I don’t have any heart at all. Feeling sad? You make me feel sicker than them!"
After saying that, Ren Xinghe hung up the phone. She wanted to smash the phone, but she was reluctant to do so when she thought that there was still someone she could contact.
Throwing down her phone, Ren Xinghe lay helplessly on the bed, that feeling of powerlessness filling her body again.
Every time, when she felt like she was about to break free from this vortex, someone would drag her back to hell.
Why should such a person drag others down
Ren Xinghe thought almost sadly.
Perhaps because she heard the noise in her room, Grandma Ren opened the door and walked in. When she saw Ren Xinghe lying on the bed, she understood something in her heart: "Little Xingxing, come to Grandma."
Ren Xinghe cried and rushed over, then started crying: "Grandma, I seem to have no future."
"Nonsense." Grandma Ren comforted her by touching her head, "Our little star has such good grades, how come there is no future?"
"Grandma, I'm scared... I'm really scared." Ren Xinghe was buried in her grandma's arms, almost desperate.
Grandma Ren felt distressed, but there was nothing she could do. For so many years, she had seen her granddaughter suffer so much, but could not do anything for her. She could only worry: "Have a sleep, good child, everything will be fine after a sleep. OK?"
Ren Xinghe was afraid that his grandma would be sad, so he could only nod.
Grandma Ren stayed in Ren Xinghe's room until she fell asleep. Then, Grandma Ren picked up Ren Xinghe's mobile phone, found Kujie's WeChat account while wearing her reading glasses, and used her mobile phone to request to add him as a friend.
Of course, her little granddaughter taught her this thing. Fortunately, Kujie's name does not have any special symbols, which saves the elderly from the trouble of finding alien characters.
In the middle of the night, Kujie responded to Grandma Ren's request and went to the courtyard to help.
When he came in, Ren Xinghe was already asleep. Grandma Ren sat on the chair and explained to Ku Jie: "Little Xingxing is asleep, tired of crying."
Kujie was stunned for a moment.
"My child, grandma has a heart disease and her health is up and down. She can't help little Xingxing much. In fact, she is a drag on her. But little Xingxing is unwilling to give up on me. I know. Grandma invites you here tonight because she wants to ask you a favor. A few things for you, no matter what, please let little Xingxing take the college entrance examination. Her biological parents are not human, and no one cares about her life at all. My little Xingxing, I shouted in despair just now, I have no future, my heart It hurts so much.”
"Grandma has no one else to turn to. Since the stars believe in you, grandma also believes in you. Grandma only has so much savings. She only hopes that you can give her a little warmth. Even that can't be done. I hope you can help her spend the most important time in life. Difficulties.”
In front of Kujie was a card.
Although he didn't know the amount on it, Kujie knew that it belonged to the old man.
"Take it, kid. I don't know what you think about the stars, but I can't let the two of us become a burden to you. After all, we are not relatives."
Ku Jie shook his head and said to the old man: "Grandma, money is meaningless to me. You just need to tell me what happened in the galaxy at night."
The old man took a long breath, then shook his head and sneered, telling Ku Jie everything he had just heard from Xiao Xingxing.
"Little Xingxing has been working hard all this time because her mother told her that reading is useful and can change her life. However, tonight her mother exposed this lie herself. I can feel the despair in Xingxing's heart, even for a moment. For a moment, she... wanted to give up on herself."
"But for so many individuals, is it worth it?"
"I want to pull her out of that abyss... But as an old woman, I am really powerless. I know my body well, and I can't control the stars for too long."
"Child, you..."
"I will let her take the college entrance examination smoothly." Ku Jie promised Grandma Ren, "I will also extend a hand to her, as long as she wants to come out."
With Kujie's financial resources, it is not difficult to do anything she wants, but the premise is that that person is willing to stand up on her own.
"What about you? Do you have any difficulties to overcome?"
Hearing Grandma Ren's question, Ku Jie thought for a while and replied: "My difficulty is that my heart is cold, but now my heart seems to have cracked a little. Grandma, I am also an indifferent person, so I don't I know whether it’s me dragging the galaxy, or the galaxy dragging me.”
