Chapter 93 Thanks to you!

When she stood at the door in despair, she suddenly remembered the happiness on Yan Bin's face when he hugged her and said to her with a smile, "Zhiru, this will be our home from now on."

The scene from the past suddenly appeared before her eyes without any warning, and Yan Zhiru wanted to escape immediately.

But for some reason, ever since she entered the community, her body seemed to be completely out of her control, and her legs and feet became uncontrollable. Like a wandering soul, she followed Li Mengdan lightly up the stairs.

After entering the room, Zhou Yu briefly introduced the situation of several rooms to them, said a few words to Li Mengdan and left.

There were only two of them left in the 150-square-meter house.

Li Mengdan asked her to be responsible for the hygiene of the two bedrooms and the study, and left the rest to herself.

It was midsummer in June. The sun was shining brightly outside just a moment ago, but now it suddenly became cloudy and dark, and soon it started to rain heavily.

The window was not closed tightly, and hot wind mixed with raindrops blew into the house at an angle.

A suffocating gloomy aura came towards me.

Yan Zhiru still remembers very clearly how she felt when she first entered this room eight years ago.

…

The girl's bedroom is decorated like a fairy tale cottage, very warm.

Various study materials are neatly placed on the wooden desk, and there are many colorful sticky notes on the wall.

She randomly peeled one off, glanced at it and then pasted it back.

I had no interest in the study plan and exam objectives written by Tao Siyun.

While Yan Bin was packing her things, Yan Zhiru silently looked around the room that would soon be hers.

Childish bunk beds...

The desk and chair set Yan Bin bought her two days ago didn't match the rest of the bedroom furniture at all...

And the wardrobe next to the wall...

She just opened it and took a look. The pink, white and blue things inside were hung tightly together in a row, taking up half of the space.

The other side was empty, which was the space Tao Siyun had specially made for her.

Or it can also be said to be "alms".

Yan Zhiru frowned and closed the wardrobe door unhappily.

The whole room is divided into two sections, half for each person.

Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by the piano stand in the corner.

The cello obviously didn't take up much space, but it was an eyesore to her.

"Zhiru, Aunt Qin has contacted a new school for you. You must study hard starting next semester." Yan Bin said earnestly as he helped her pack her things. "It's not summer vacation yet, so you should stay home and study for the next few months. Don't fall behind in your studies."

"If you need anything, tell Dad."

"You are a grown-up girl now. You should be sensible and have basic manners. Aunt Qin is a very easy-going person. You should not be so hostile to her."

"By the way, Si Yun, you are the same age. You will live together in the future. You must get along well with each other and avoid conflicts."

“…”

Yan Bin talked for a long time, which made Yan Zhiru feel annoyed.

"Are you annoying?"

Every word Yan Bin said made him feel inferior.

Do I have to follow these "rules" if I live here?

No way.

She glanced at the cartoon desk lamp on Tao Siyun's desk, pressed it deliberately, and thought maliciously in her heart that it would be better to break it completely.

Yan Bin was troubled by her attitude.

"Can you be a little more obedient, kid?"

Yan Zhiru looked at the busy Yan Bin and said capriciously, "Isn't her family in Jingfu? Why does she have to live here? Either let her go, or send me back home now!"

Although this bedroom became a double bedroom because of her arrival, every thing belonging to Tao Siyun in it was silently conveying a message to her: You are an outsider.

Even the brand new desk was isolated and placed near the door.

If this isn't intentional, what is?

"My mom said that you and that woman were your first love, and her niece is the same age as me. Could she be your illegitimate daughter?"

"What nonsense am I talking about? If she's not my biological mother, why would that woman be so obsessed with her? I'm your biological daughter. Why, do you want to hit me for an outsider?!"

"I'm just a person who has no one to teach me! What's wrong? You can't stand it now, what were you doing before? Have you ever cared about me in all these years since you divorced? Have you ever cared about me? My mother hooked up with a rich man and left me behind, she ran off with him. You're not a good person either, you're all the same!!!"

“Bang!”

Yan Zhiru couldn't believe it. Yan Bin actually hit her?

On the first day she came into this family, her biological father beat her for them!

Is this the warning her stepmother gave her?

This must be the result that woman wants most!

Yan Zhiru covered her burning face with her hands and stared at the teddy bear on her bed, her eyes full of resentment!

…

Yan Zhiru did not come out for dinner in the evening.

"I'll go get her."

"Don't worry about her. Let her reflect on herself." Yan Bin was angry and stopped Qin Ru. "If she doesn't want to eat, forget it. Don't spoil her too much. Let's eat our own food."

Tao Siyun and his aunt looked at each other.

We had such a big fight on our first meeting, what should we do next time...

After dinner, Yan Bin went to the study to do some work. Qin Ru cooked a bowl of noodles and prepared to deliver it to the room personally.

Tao Siyun thought of Yan Zhiru's attitude towards Qin Ru during the day, and was afraid that she would speak ill of her aunt again, so he said he would go by himself.

Yan Zhiru fell asleep.

The brown curly-haired bear was thrown pitifully on the ground, with the thread on its back broken, revealing the stuffing inside.

Seeing the gift he gave her being treated like this, Tao Siyun said nothing, picked it up silently, and put it back on his bed with some heartache.

***

Thinking back on everything that happened tonight, Yan Zhiru suddenly felt a fear that she would never be able to escape from her original family.

She didn't expect Yan Jiawei to find her so quickly.

Li Mengdan's younger brother, who is also her cousin, was probably the one who said that.

"You think you can escape if you hide?"

"I told Mom very clearly on the phone a few days ago that I won't give you a penny anymore, even if you ask for it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was slapped twice.

Yan Jiawei sneered, grabbed her arm and walked towards the main road without saying a word, running through several red lights in one breath.

Cars are coming and going on the street, and the bright headlights are dazzling.

Yan Zhiru was frightened by the series of horns and stopped in her tracks, and she didn't come to her senses for a long time.

The vehicle braked suddenly, and a driver leaned out of the window and cursed: "You are looking for death!"

Yan Jiawei dragged her staggering across the street.

"Did you remember?" Yan Jiawei pinched her face, slapped it hard, and said through gritted teeth, "Mental damage compensation."

Yan Zhiru collapsed on the ground, her face quickly turned pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

The "mental damages" he mentioned refers to...

"You've ruined my life. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have done so badly on the college entrance exam!"

"I've always been at the top of my class. I had a bright future ahead of me, but you ruined it all!"

Yan Jiawei has always felt guilty about Qin Ru's matter. He is often absent-minded in class, easily distracted, and cannot learn anything.

After failing the college entrance examination, I developed some mental problems, such as mania.

Perhaps in order to make himself feel better and at the same time to exonerate himself, who was not actually innocent, he simply blamed everything on Yan Zhiru.

"If it weren't for you, would Dad become like this? Would Qin Ru die? Would I fail the exam? Our family is living like this now, all because of you, this jinx!"

"Do you think Dad will forgive you if you do well in the college entrance exam? Don't dream. You're the one he hates the most! Who knows how he'll regret it. Why did he take an ungrateful person like you to Huxi in the first place? Grandma could have had another grandson, and I could have had a younger brother. You killed two people and you'll get your comeuppance sooner or later!"

Whenever this was mentioned, the grandmother, who had always favored boys over girls, would start cursing at Yan Zhiru.

What she regretted was that there was a 50% chance that Qin Ru was carrying a boy.

It is an established fact that Yan Zhiru indirectly killed Qin Ru and that innocent life.

Everyone knows.

She will never be able to escape responsibility for this matter.

No matter how bad Yan Zhiru was, she was only eighteen years old and was under unprecedented psychological pressure.

Every time Yan Jiawei mentioned Qin Ru's name, she couldn't help but tremble all over.

During those months, she never had a good night's sleep and had nightmares every night.

In the dream, blood flowed like a river, and Qin Ru lay motionless in a pool of blood, staring at her with his eyes fixed, unable to close.

The compensation and the money from selling the house were divided into two parts by Yan Bin’s parents. One part was used for Yan Bin’s follow-up treatment, and the other part was left to Yan Jiawei.

After school started, Li Yanfei secretly gave Yan Zhiru 20,000 yuan and told her that his money was only enough to pay for her first year's tuition.

Yan Zhiru understood that if she wanted to finish college, she would have to rely on herself in the future.

After she was taken to the west of Shanghai, Yan Bin gave her some money, which was enough for her living expenses for a year after she had spent it on daily expenses.

Yan Jiawei repeated a year and was only admitted to an ordinary local university in Nanze the following year, which was far from his ideal.

From then on, Yan Zhiru's nightmare began.

After entering university, Yan Jiawei became addicted to games all day long, overspending on his living expenses every month. When he didn't have enough money, he would go to her school to ask her for money.

"You don't want to give it to me, right? Fine! Then I'll go talk to your boyfriend and tell him about all the bad things you did in the past. Do you think he will continue to be with a 'murderer' like you?"

"By the way, if your roommates and classmates knew that they were living in the same dorm and studying with a 'murderer' every day, do you think you could still stay in school peacefully until graduation?"

Yan Jiawei had the leverage over her and had her under his thumb, and the blackmail never stopped.

For three years, Yan Zhiru has been working part-time, and when she is busy, she has to work several jobs a day.

In addition to earning money for tuition and living expenses, he also had to give money to Yan Jiawei regularly.

She had no choice but to work part-time in a bar.

I sell alcohol and get paid daily, and I can earn seven or eight hundred yuan in one night.

Even so, he still needs Li Mengdan's help every now and then.

***

Yan Jiawei haunted her like a ghost, and it seemed she could never get rid of him.

Yan Zhiru finally broke down and shouted at the top of her lungs, "You're a lunatic, you're sick!"

"Yes! This is all thanks to you."
