Before meeting Jiang Qiran, Ye Linlang's life was filled with darkness.
She never knew that the world would change so drastically when she was sixteen.
Fortunately, I met him.
Like light, it shines into her dark life.
…
In Kyushu, there is a remote mountain village.
This place has never been prosperous, lacks any trace of modernization, and even has frequent water and power outages. Every time there is a power outage, the entire small mountain village is plunged into darkness.
If it is a starry day, every household will bring out chairs and sit down to chat.
Ye Linlang's childhood began in such a remote mountain village.
Ever since Ye Linlang could remember, she knew from the gossips of her fellow villagers that she was an ominous existence.
She never knew what her biological parents were called, but she knew very well that her parents were still alive and had abandoned her.
Every time she went out, she could feel that someone was watching her.
It was that mocking look that made Linlang feel very uncomfortable.
…
The sun sets in the west.
A few middle-aged women who were idly eating melon seeds were knitting and looking at Ye Linlang with ill intent.
"Look, look, it's the little disaster star that Grandma Song brought with her! Wow, he's grown so big now."
"I heard that the wild girl's father and mother are from very prominent families, and they are one of the richest families in the city!"
"Don't just listen to me. I actually saw it. When this little disaster star was sent here, it was such a grand scene!"
"My grandmother saw it, too! She said it was a shiny, luxurious Audi! The clothes those people wore were even better looking than those in the TV series."
"Yes, how could such a wealthy family not be able to raise a girl? Why would they send her to such a poor and remote place?"
A middle-aged woman in a bright red dress shook her head proudly, showing off a piece of gossip from eight hundred years ago.
"You are so ignorant. They say she is a disaster. I heard that she killed her own brother just after she was born! Isn't that disgusting?"
"Ah, there is such a thing?!"
"I also heard it from my elders. I don't know if it's true or not, but you see, after Grandma Song adopted her, her only son and daughter-in-law went out to work and died in a car accident, didn't they?"
"They were fine when they went out to work before, but how come they got into a car accident after that damn girl Ye Linlang came here?"
"How pitiful! Grandma Song is left alone, without a son to take care of her in her old age."
"That's right! But looking at the sickly behavior of the Song family's grandmother, she might die one day. She must have been cursed by that devilish girl Ye Linlang!"
…
After all, they were such a long distance apart, and it was hard for Ye Linlang not to hear those people's discussions as if it were a joke.
But this isn't the first time.
If you hear it too much, you will become numb to it, no matter how hurtful it is.
Yes, in this small mountain village where everyone knows each other, she is such a code name for a disaster star.
No one likes her except her grandmother.
When Ye Linlang was still very young, whenever she saw other people's families with parents, she couldn't help but pull at Grandma Song's sleeves.
"Grandma, does Linlang have a father and a mother? They say I'm a wild child, a bastard that no one wants. What are wild children and bastards?"
Ye Linlang opened her big, innocent eyes and nestled in the arms of Grandma Song with pure innocence.
The old lady, who is already in her seventies, held Ye Linlang firmly in her arms, her wrinkled eyes filled with kindness.
She reached out and stroked the skinny little girl in her arms, unable to bear the thought of breaking Ye Linlang's beautiful innocence.
"Linlang, you have to know that everyone has a father and a mother, and you certainly have one too. Don't listen to what those people say, okay? Linlang is not a bastard, nor is she a wild child. Linlang is a very good and obedient child."
A very good and obedient child
Young Ye Linlang accepted the explanation given by Grandma Song.
Although, no one except grandma would define her like this.
Ye Linlang gave an innocent smile, and she changed into a comfortable position in the old lady's arms, blinking her big eyes at her old lady.
"Grandma, if Linlang also has a father and a mother, why do other children's parents stay with them, but not Linlang?"
"Mom and Dad don't want Linlang because she's not well-behaved and a good child... Those people say I'm not good... Mom and Dad don't want me."
As Ye Linlang said this, a layer of dust appeared in her clear eyes for some reason.
So bleak and lost.
In fact, even if the child does not understand what the adults’ ridicule means, a girl who has no father or mother and is pointed at all year round is still somewhat sensitive in her bones.
Even, it is inferiority complex.
When Ye Linlang saw the parents coming to pick up their children from school, she suddenly felt inexplicably sad.
That's why she asked.
Where are her parents
Why not her
Seeing Ye Linlang's bitter expression, the smile on Grandma Song's face froze slightly.
The child is still so young. Which bastard instilled this information into Ye Linlang
Because she was afraid of causing any trauma to Ye Linlang's young mind, the old lady quickly thought of a suitable answer.
"Silly child, how could mom and dad not want Linlang? Linlang is so cute. It's just that mom and dad are too busy, so they have to wait for Linlang to grow up for a while before they can come to pick her up."
So, Ye Linlang firmly believed that her parents would come to pick her up.
Just like grandma said, she is a little angel and mom and dad will 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 came to their house with a large group of people.
It is said that the old lady's son and daughter-in-law died.
The old lady couldn't bear the news and fainted on the spot.
Ye Linlang was also confused.
From that day on, it was confirmed that Ye Linlang was the star of disaster in this small mountain village.
The villagers all said, if it wasn't for Ye Linlang, the calamity star, how could such a healthy person die
…
After ending that unbearable memory, Ye Linlang silently tugged at the straps of her schoolbag that had long been washed white, ignored those people without saying a word, and walked towards her grandmother's house.
In fact, Ye Linlang really didn't want to go to school, because there were too many people in school who ridiculed her.
So going home from school is the happiest moment for Ye Linlang.
But Grandma Song always told Ye Linlang firmly: Linlang, you are a good child, you must study hard, okay? If you don't study hard, your parents will not look for you.
After all, she is sixteen years old. Ye Linlang knows that Grandma Song is just comforting her. If her parents still want her, why haven't they come yet
After all, she couldn't bear to hurt her grandmother's feelings, so Ye Linlang studied hard and never skipped school.
But all the peace was broken on this day.
Before Ye Linlang reached the door of her grandmother's house, she suddenly saw a crowd of people gathered at the door, and sighs were heard all around.
“What a sin!”
This scene seems familiar.
Ye Linlang's heart skipped a beat. She immediately threw away her schoolbag and rushed towards her grandmother's house like crazy!
