Kiki hugged her mother's neck tightly; she seemed to understand what her mother was about to do.

She was scared and buried her head in her mother's shoulder, shedding silent tears.

In despair, with tears welling in her eyes, Qiqi's mother walked step by step to the edge.

Qiqi felt her mother trembling. Her voice trembled as she tried to keep her childish voice steady: "Mommy, are you cold? Qiqi is holding you tight. Are you still cold?"

Kiki's mother stopped there, unable to take another step forward.

Qiqi said again, "Mommy, I'll hold you over there, and then we won't be cold."

Kiki's mother finally couldn't bear it any longer. She hugged her daughter and squatted on the bridgehead, wailing and crying out all the pressure that had been weighing on her.

She gave up on the idea of ​​dying with her daughter and returned to the small rented room.

That wicked man came to find her and promised that he would never hurt Qiqi again.

This time, Kiki's mother chose to ask Kiki what she thought and told her that if she didn't want to go back, she wouldn't.

Young Qiqi could sense that her mother still had feelings for that bad uncle. Not wanting her mother to be disappointed or sad, she nodded, and the two of them went back with the man.

But it turned out to be a cruel scam.

The man gambled away all his savings and had no money left, so he turned his attention to Qiqi.

Qiqi is a very pretty little girl, as beautiful as a porcelain doll. If you were to sell her, you could definitely get a good price.

He tricked Qiqi into going to the amusement park, saying he would take her there to play.

One night, Qiqi got up to use the bathroom and overheard the bad uncle talking on the phone about the price she was getting for selling herself.

She went back to her room and hid, afraid and terrified, too scared to cry out.

Then, I heard my mother arguing with the bad uncle.

The mother wanted to take her away, even if it meant crossing the bridge again and committing suicide again, she was unwilling to sell her.

The wicked uncle used both soft and hard tactics to tell her that he wouldn't sell Qiqi to a remote mountain village, but rather to a wealthy family, and that Qiqi would have a good life and be happy in the future.

She can forget the painful three years, start anew with him, and have another child in the future.

That was the longest wait Qiqi had ever experienced. Finally, she heard her mother say one word: "Okay."

This time, her mother chose to abandon her.

She hid under the covers and cried all night.

The next day, the bad uncle was going to sell her. Before leaving, her mother, with tears in her eyes, gave her a small schoolbag filled with all sorts of cookies she had made overnight.

Kiki's mother was still reluctant to part with her, but she had endured hardship for too long, which gradually eroded her maternal love for Kiki.

Is it really about going to live a good life?

Of course not. Kiki's mother knew this man very well, but she still gave up on Kiki.

On the road where she was sold, Qiqi could have run away, but she didn't. She just clung to the cookies her mother had made for her, unwilling to let go.

Since her mother wants her to disappear, she should obediently leave and make her mother believe that she has disappeared and has nothing to do with her anymore.

Watching the bad man as Kiki is taken away by a stranger.

Then, using her intelligence, she escaped.

It was springtime. She hid in an alley, begging for a living and snatching food from the mouths of stray dogs. She had grown accustomed to this kind of life.

Although life was tough, she felt much happier than being with her mother.

Qiqi thought she would never see her mother again in this lifetime.

One day, while she was begging, a luxury car stopped in front of her. She looked up, hoping to receive alms as usual.

However, she never expected that it was her mother.

She no longer wore simple clothes; her figure was exquisite, her face beautiful, and she wore sparkling diamonds on her neck and hands.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, she turned and ran.

Kiki's mother grabbed her, ignoring her dirty appearance, and hugged her tightly, crying and saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Kiki, Mommy will never let you go again."

And so, Qiqi went to her new home.

She learned that the bad man had abandoned her mother after getting the money.

The mother was devastated and filled with regret. She searched for her for a month but couldn't find her. Then she went to the bridge to end her life. It was at that time that she met the wealthy man.

Shang Shenghao was attracted by her melancholy yet beautiful face, rescued her, and took her home.

My mother remarried him.

Shang Shenghao treated her very well, so Qiqi's mother asked him to help her find her daughter.

However, when they finally found the man who had abused Kiki and sold her, the neighbors told them that he had been dead for two months.

Later, Shang Shenghao sent people to investigate and found out that Qiqi had run away on the way. The buyer was furious and went to the man to ask for the money, but accidentally beat him to death.

This may be retribution.

However, Qiqi was not happy. She was beaten for many years and was afraid of all men. In her subconscious, she believed that Shang Shenghao was just like her mother's previous boyfriend.

Sure enough, her premonition was correct.

After a year with his mother, Shang Shenghao grew tired of her and began to flirt with all sorts of women.

He always forced her to smile at everyone, and then made her dance and sing for his lovers.

For the young girl, the nightmare was far from over.

Shang Shenghao took her everywhere he went, using her as a tool to make money, to dance for his partners and entertain them.

At this point, Qiqi's mother had lost control of her mind. She believed that it was Qiqi's return that caused Shang Shenghao to treat her badly, and that Qiqi had stolen her affection.

At the age of four, she was beaten black and blue by her mother and then thrown out.

How could Shang Shenghao bear to give up a money-making tool like this? He brought her back, hired tutors to teach her various languages ​​and piano, and turned her into an even more lovable little prodigy.

For her, it was a nightmare from which she could never wake up.

During her studies, she got tired and wanted to rest, but Shang Shenghao discovered this, punched and kicked her, and even hung her from the third floor of the villa.

When she makes a mistake, put her down.

Kiki's mother no longer had any feelings for her and just watched everything indifferently.

After that, Qiqi's mother died of illness.

Shang Shenghao went even further, making Qiqi work. At the age of five, she began her acting career.

From advertising children's clothing in shopping malls to later entering the entertainment industry, she wanted to live like a normal child, but she didn't have the right to.

She could only work desperately for Shang Shenghao. She dared not cry, let alone show any signs of sadness. If she did, she would be severely beaten by Shang Shenghao.

Therefore, Qiqi always wore a sweet smile when she looked at anyone.

No one knows what kind of heartache lies behind her smile.

Su Mei listened, her heart aching terribly, and said in a trembling voice, "So, that's why she didn't want to live anymore."

Tang Yaoyao's eyes turned cold: "The person who dealt her the most fatal blow was Jiang Su."
