Upstairs, Li Zhen was locked in a small hut in the backyard of the villa.
It was pitch black inside, without any light.
There was only a bowl-sized small window, through which so dots of light shone through.
Li Zhen rembered that year when she was seven, grandfather took her to the Li Family, and she was locked in here by Li Yanran for six hours.
She slipped a small iron wire through the door crack, practiced opening the lock like on TV, escaped to the lobby, and told everyone it was Li Yanran who locked her in.
Li Yanran hid in Li Yinnan's arms, raising her chin and said: "Dad, I locked her in, I just hate her."
Li Yinnan said: "Yanran is good, don't do that next ti."
Li Zhen knew then that she was a bastard, a person born wrong.
No one would be willing to stand up for her.
Because she didn't deserve it.
She had to rely on herself to get what she wanted.
It took great efforts for her to get the shares this ti, agonizingly maneuvering between Li Yinnan and Yu Sheng.
Now, it was also foiled.
At this mont, Li Yanran's voice ca from outside, "Open the door."
"Miss, but the boss told us to lock her in..."
"Open! You dare not listen to ! If my dad blas you, I'll take the responsibility."
After a mont of fumbling with the lock.
The door opened, and Li Yanran ca in.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's so dirty here, but it suits you well, Li Zhen. I'm very curious what you did to anger my dad so much."
Li Zhen ignored her.
She found a small stool in the corner and sat down.
Seeing no reaction from her, Li Yanran continued to provoke her, "How many tis has this been that you were locked in this place? I wonder how long my dad will lock you up this ti, one month? Two months?"
Li Zhen picked at the mud on the ground with a stick, bored.
Her face was expressionless, but her heart sank a little.
Upon careful thinking, Li Yinnan was very cautious, he must know she was divorced, and would likely lock her up to prevent her from getting pregnant so other way to get the shares.
Could it be he really wanted to lock her up for a year?
Li Zhen sighed softly.
"Li Zhen." Li Yanran walked two steps forward and looked down on her condescendingly, "Before, it was just who hated you, and my mom. Now even my dad hates you. What's the point of you being alive?"
Li Zhen glanced at Li Yanran indifferently, "Hate if you want, it's not like your liking could sublimate my life."
"You... you have no sha!"
"Not caring about your opinion ans having no sha? Is your opinion the unified standard of the world? Can being liked by you confer a Nobel Prize?" Li Zhen didn't understand Li Yanran's logic.
She wanted to provoke her with just the fact that people didn't like her.
What were their liking worth?
Li Yanran sneered, "However sharp-tongued you are Li Zhen, you are still locked in here now. Just like your mother, a pathetic stray dog."
Li Zhen's eyes turned cold, "What do you an?"
"Looks like you haven't seen it. Your mother was also locked here before. My mom has videos of your mother being locked up. This clutter room is suitable for lowly people like you..."
Li Yanran was complacent and hadn't reacted yet when Li Zhen suddenly threw a bottle at her.
With a "crash", Li Yanran was hit hard on the head.
"Ah!" Li Yanran shrieked, then a dizzy sensation rushed up.
She touched where she was hit, her hand full of blood.
"Dad! Mom!" Li Yanran cried out in horror.
Li Zhen grabbed her hair and picked up another bottle, "Li Yanran, I've warned you many tis, don't ntion my mother!"
"Since you can't rember, I can only teach you a good lesson to make you rember for life!"
Li Zhen had wanted to beat up Li Yanran for a long ti.
Since she was going to be locked up anyway, half a year, or a year, she should take care of this matter in her heart before being locked up.
She said softly, "You should suffer more pain than before I can forgive you!"
"Li Zhen!"
A loud shout ca from the door.
Li Zhen looked up to see Li Yinnan rushing in, snatching the bottle from her hand.
Li Yanran threw herself into Li Yinnan's arms. Where was the slightest trace of begging for rcy just now?
She wailed loudly, "Dad, call an ambulance quickly. I've lost so much blood. Li Zhen tried to kill . Chop off her hands, you must chop off her hands!"
Li Yinnan frowned and said in a low voice, "After all, she is your sister."
Li Yanran was stunned.
In the past, he would have cursed Li Zhen for her. Why was he like this today...
"Zhen'er, go ho," Li Yinnan said unnaturally. After thinking for a mont, he added, "Be careful on the way back."
Li Yanran couldn't believe it, "Dad, weren't you going to lock her up? She just hit , and you just let her go like this?"
Li Zhen was also surprised that Li Yinnan would let her go so easily.
But she didn't care what was wrong with Li Yinnan.
She walked straight out, catching a glimpse of the servant calling an ambulance with his phone.
Li Zhen glanced at the lock on the door, quickly turned back and locked it.
"Click." The door was locked.
Li Zhen held the key in her own hand.
Li Yinnan: ...
Li Yanran: ...
Servant: ...
Li Yinnan said solemnly, "Zhen'er, open the door!"
Li Yanran scrambled up and pounded the door violently, "Li Zhen, open the door!"
Li Zhen smiled, "Hearing you shout so loudly, it doesn't seem I hit you that hard just now."
On the other end of the phone, the operator was still asking, "Sir, may I ask your exact address?"
But the servant was completely stunned by Li Zhen's actions.
Seeing Li Zhen about to leave with the key, the servant stamred, "Miss...Miss Li, you can't take the key away, otherwise the door can't be opened."
"Is that so?" Li Zhen smiled brightly at the servant, speaking very gently, "That's great then."
Li Zhen tossed the key into the nearby sewer with a "plop". The water washed the key forward until it disappeared.
The servant was dumbfounded.
Li Yanran was still screaming hysterically, "Open the door, open it quickly, I don't want to be locked in here!"
Of course Li Zhen knew this door could only be opened with this key.
Ever since seven-year-old her opened the lock, Lin Zhiyin had replaced it with an iron door, with the lock core custom made to the highest anti-theft level.
Perhaps Lin Zhiyin didn't expect that the lock ant to keep her out, would also have the day to lock in her own daughter.
Li Zhen walked forward step by step, but looked back at the hut when she was about to leave.
Li Yanran said Lin Zhiyin had videos of her mother locked in the hut.
Li Zhen had never seen her mother from when she was little to now...
