The woman pulled over the little girl, trying to coax her gently, but the little girl just wouldn’t stop talking; the more she tried to pacify her, the angrier she got, and she lashed out at the older girl: "I told you to watch your sister, where did you run off to die."
"Sister, don’t cry," the older girl was scolded for no reason, her lips pouting, but she dared not cry out, only using the back of her hand to wipe the tears from the younger girl’s eyes, "Don’t cry."
The few tear-streaked "Don’t cry" made Chang Chi quicken her steps; she walked faster and faster, until she finally reached Dwarf Street, almost bumping into it, "I, as a sister, really failed."
The drunkard heard the noise and ca out from the house swaying on a wheelchair.
Chang Chi looked at the drunkard on the wheelchair, her father, both her biological father and adoptive father, were sitting on wheelchairs. And all she could do now was numbly sit on the ground.
"You’re back?" the drunkard stared blankly at Chang Chi, who stood up, slowly but without hesitation.
"Dad," Chang Chi walked up to him, relieved to see no sll of alcohol emanating from the drunkard, "From now on, you need to take good care of yourself."
The drunkard seed to sense sothing, he grabbed Chang Chi, "Xiao Chi, don’t do sothing foolish."
"Dad, what foolish thing can I still do," Chang Chi’s voice was filled with weakness, "Soone has already done the most foolish thing in the world." Su Ziceng was really foolish, why did she have to get involved with the Su Family again and again, continually stepping into murky waters, as her sister, how could she remain indifferent.
"I’m an unqualified daughter, failing to take good care of you, mom, and... him, I’m also an unqualified sister," Chang Chi said tremblingly, "Please allow , to go back and make ands for everything."
The drunkard burst into loud tears, Xiao Chi, already understood everything.
"I’m thanking you on behalf of my mom, for extending your hand when my mother and I needed help the most," Chang Chi knelt down and kowtowed to the drunkard. Her actions caused the drunkard to lose his legs and left him with nothing in his declining years.
Now Chang i is in prison, and she must also do what she needs to do.
"No, all of this was willingly done by ," the drunkard could still rember more than twenty years ago, the splendid Su Qing and Chang i, they had been neighbors since childhood. However, Su Qing was the leader among the neighborhood kids, while Chang i always followed Su Qing. And he was just an insignificant, cowardly follower.
After Su Qing t Qiao Chu, one night, Chang i who felt desolate, approached him, hoping he would be the father of her unborn child. The drunkard could no longer rember what kind of mood he was in when he agreed. Perhaps it was jealousy of Su Qing or resentnt towards Chang i, they never really had a peaceful life.
After Chang i went to help the Su Family, he beca even more reckless, and young Chang Chi also beca the target of his anger. These events, the Chang Chi kneeling before him, had already forgotten.
"Before you leave, go see your mother and him," the drunkard could not bear to say more, Su Qing’s education had been successful, this daughter of his, just like the daughter in the newspapers, would not disgrace him.
The sound of the wheelchair was blocked by the closed room door, Chang Chi knelt on the ground for a long ti, until her knees were cold and numb before she stood up.
Chang Chi sat outside the visiting room, observing her mother through a pane of glass.
Chang i was not a religious person, but after being in prison for over a month, she had converted to Buddhism and was hand copying a Buddhist Scripture before seeing Chang Chi.
Mother and daughter looked at each other silently, inside and outside of the glass.
"Silly child," Chang i sighed, although Chang Chi hadn’t said anything yet, Chang i already knew, from the flesh and blood that fell from her body, how could she not understand her thoughts.
"Mom, you agreed," Chang Chi started to smile, but her eyes began unceasingly shedding tears.
"This is what I owe Qiao Chu, perhaps it’s also what you owe Ziceng, as a sister I owe the younger sister, and I can never repay it in this lifeti." Chang i, no matter how much she read Buddhist Scriptures, her debt to Qiao Chu was never alleviated.
After decades of entangled hatred, today, she had no choice but to settle it. With such thoughts, Chang Chi arrived once again at the villa of Pello.
Pello was not there, Yan Wuxu, upon seeing Chang Chi, had the doorman stop her at the gate. The grudge between Yan Wuxu and the Chang’s mother and daughter was too complicated to unravel in days and nights.
After hearing the butler’s response, Chang Chi still tried to push her way in, only to see Yan Wuxu cursing as he ca down, "Chang Chi, get out now, or don’t bla for being rude."
"Yan Wuxu, you’re just a dog kept under soone else’s na now, no need to bark so loudly," if it wasn’t for Yan Wuxu stopping that mine disaster report, the Su Family wouldn’t have ended up in this situation today.
"You bitch," Yan Wuxu pounced on her, and they started fighting, just as the butler was about to call for help, Pello, Shang Yin, and Wen Maixue walked in.
"Brother Shang," Chang Chi quickly stopped fighting, switched from her previous aggressive deanor, and called out submissively, leaning towards Shang Yin.
An easy woman, Shang Yin has always been irreceptive. Seeing Shang Yin actually standing on the side of Chang Chi, Yan Wuxu quickly slandered: "Mr. Shang, you’ve been deceived by this woman, she surely harbors ill intentions." (To be continued.
