Chapter 3 The Young Lady in the Wheelchair 3: Do a Good Job, Little Girl!

This should have been a good thing for Cheng Zhishu, but Xi Congshuang was added to the mix.

Xi Congshuang, who was not watching the story, suddenly had a bad feeling. She continued reading and then fell into a deep silence.

In the story, Xi Congshuang kept Cheng Zhishu by her side because the previous caregiver was not good enough, and because the other party was silent and tolerant, she vented all her bad temper on her.

At first, it was just verbal mockery. Cheng Zhishu had been used to similar remarks since she was a child, and she felt that they were not as powerful as her adoptive parents, so she ignored them.

Unexpectedly, Xi Congshuang was enraged by this submissive attitude and became even more aggressive, which later escalated into physical conflict. She would throw water cups at people whenever she was unhappy and would not allow them to dodge, otherwise they would face even more severe punishment.

By this point, Cheng Zhishu had no chance of leaving. She knew very well that she wouldn't have the opportunity to leave until the young lady had her fill of fun.

After entering her senior year of high school, Cheng Zhishu's studies became even more demanding, and she returned home later and later. Later, a rule was set for when Cheng Zhishu would come home, and if she was even a minute late, she would be punished.

Every inch of skin not exposed by clothing bears the marks of Xi Congshuang's various blows.

Having lost both legs, she became misanthropic and violent, not only because she lost the ability to walk, but also because she lost her qualification to compete for the Xi family's heir.

She felt sorry for herself, having lost her parents and everything else. Why should Cheng Zhishu be able to live a peaceful life?

Because Cheng Zhishu returned a minute late from the pre-exam dinner, Xi Congshuang stole her ID card on the day of the exam, but surprisingly told Cheng Zhishu, "Do your best on the exam."

Cheng Zhishu was in a hurry to leave and didn't notice Xi Congshuang's attitude until she arrived at the examination center and realized that her ID card was missing.

Seeing this, Xi Congshuang was so angry that she almost stood up. How could anyone disrupt the students' college entrance examination?

Fortunately, the ID card could be replaced, and Cheng Zhishu successfully completed the exam. However, after the exam, the driver sent by Xi Congshuang failed to pick her up.

Cheng Zhishu disappeared, blending into the crowd and vanishing without a trace. No one knew where she went.

Unable to find the person, Xi Congshuang had no choice but to give up. She never expected that she would see the person again ten years later.

To avoid Xi Congshuang, Cheng Zhishu stayed abroad for many years. Later, after achieving great success, he returned to China and transformed into President Cheng, a figure whom everyone could only dream of.

No one expected that Cheng Zhishu's purpose in returning was very simple—to destroy the Xi family and Xi Congshuang.

And she did indeed succeed: the Xi family went bankrupt, and Xi Congshuang died a wretched death.

Everything that Cheng Zhishu hated no longer exists.

After reading it, Xi Congshuang chuckled coldly: "This is the identity you mentioned that has the deepest ties?"

From an outsider's perspective, Xi Congshuang didn't think there was anything wrong with the female lead's actions.

Xi Congshuang: "Besides, where did she break down? She takes revenge for every wrong she has, and she seeks to settle every grudge. Isn't it normal to heal the shadows of her life by having her enemies go bankrupt and die?"

"..."

Red Apple argued vehemently: "The female lead has already achieved great success and possesses countless riches, yet she still remembers to come back and take revenge on you. Isn't that the deepest bond between them?"

"The female lead should have been in a high position of power, all-powerful, standing alone at the top of the world, but the higher you climb, the colder it gets. In order to get revenge, she engaged in corporate monopoly and even personally killed Xi Congshuang, so it was only natural that she went to jail."

Xi Congshuang: "...Go to jail?"

“Of course, in this world, breaking the law means going to jail.” Red Apple said seriously, “If it weren’t for Xi Congshuang’s targeting, how could there be the ruthless Cheng Zhishu later on?”

"So where did she not break down?"

Where in the world can you find a female protagonist who goes to jail?

"What is this if not Honkai?"

"……"hehe.

Xi Congshuang continued to sneer, slapping the wheelchair beside the bed: "Have you considered that I am now a disabled person?"

"I'm already in a terrible state myself, what am I supposed to save?"

"Then what about me? Who will save me and heal me?"

This red apple, with wings and a silver tongue, turned out to be an unreliable HR person.

Red Apple was speechless for a moment, then finally managed to say, "Do a good job, little girl! I believe in you!"

After saying that, it vanished with a flap of its wings.

The thing could come and go as it pleased, and Xi Congshuang couldn't do anything about it, so she had no choice but to turn off the lights and go to sleep.

The next day, the caregiver came to the door again, looking nervous.

Xi Congshuang lives like a blind box every day; no one who meets her knows what kind of Xi Congshuang they will find.

She occasionally has moments of peace, like yesterday, when she asks to go out for a walk and soak up some sun, but this is a hidden side of her.

Getting the hidden Xi Cong Shuang one day often has the side effect of making you feel terrible the next day.

When the caregiver first arrived, she thought Xi Congshuang had finally come to her senses, but life taught her a harsh lesson.

After making the same mistake again and again, the caregiver, having eaten his fill, finally learned his lesson.

After spending half a minute mentally preparing herself, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.

Knock knock knock.

After knocking on the door for the first time, a response came from inside: "Come in."

The caregiver carefully pressed the doorknob, and unexpectedly, the room was filled with light, the curtains were wide open, and the morning sunlight streamed into the room.

She stood in front of the door, her face clearly showing surprise.

To make life easier for Xi Congshuang, the entire house was equipped with smart home technology. Xi Congshuang naturally opened the curtains, but she didn't like to open them before.

I heard that the day Xi Congshuang had her car accident happened to be a sunny day.

The person sitting on the bed said, "Zheng Momo?"

After fiddling with her phone all night, Xi Congshuang matched the faces in front of her with the names in her contacts.

"Miss Xi, you need to wash up, right? I'll go prepare it now." Zheng Momo responded and turned to prepare the things needed for washing up.

Suddenly she heard the sound of an electric wheelchair starting up, and she quickly looked out. She saw Xi Congshuang maneuvering the wheelchair over, and she instinctively made way for her.

The wheelchair stopped in front of the washbasin mirror. Xi Congshuang had practiced using the wheelchair last night to familiarize herself with its operation.

She can now skillfully maneuver her wheelchair at high speeds, but due to the limited space in her home, it's not yet a good opportunity to showcase that skill.

Xi Congshuang was quite satisfied with this time travel experience; she had never had such good conditions before.

When she was seriously ill, Xi Congshuang was extremely weak, and the nurses did not allow her to go out. Even when she was in a wheelchair, she would go for examinations.

Later, he couldn't even sit in a wheelchair anymore, so he had to lie down in a transfer vehicle and be pushed around.

Xi Congshuang reached out and took the toothbrush from Zheng Momo's hand: "I want to try doing it myself."

"Ah, okay." Zheng Momo's job is to help patients recover and establish their own lifestyle habits, so she handed the toothbrush in her hand to Xi Congshuang.

This room was renovated before Xi Congshuang moved in. All the furniture inside was built to a height that Xi Congshuang could adapt to, so she could easily solve basic washing and grooming problems while sitting in her wheelchair.

Reaching out to hang the towel on the towel rack, Xi Congshuang turned to Zheng Momo and said, "I'm capable of taking care of myself now, so you don't need to be so close to me anymore. I want to take care of my bodily needs now, so please go outside and wait for a while."

For some reason, Zheng Momo walked outside and heard the door click shut. "Hmm?"

A few seconds later, Zheng Momo clenched her fist after realizing what had happened.

Great! The hidden Xi Congshuang CD isn't over yet!

After breakfast, Xi Congshuang asked Zheng Momo to push her out for a walk as usual, and they strolled around the garden again and again.

The servants, unaware that Xi Congshuang was still a hidden beauty, continued to observe her from afar and quietly avoided her.

Apart from taking her medicine and eating, she stayed outdoors the whole time and didn't go back inside.

Zheng Momo, as a caregiver, was also there with them.

As the sun began to set, all the lights in the Xi residence came on, and the slender young girl returned to the Xi residence, stepping on the tail of the setting sun.

Transferring to a new city and moving to a new home, Cheng Zhishu found herself in an unfamiliar place, which significantly impacted her commute.

Moreover, her new school did not provide accommodation, and she did not have enough money to rent a house outside, so she had to return to the Xi residence to live.

If it's just these things, it's not a big problem. At worst, you can get up an hour earlier or get home an hour later.

The main problem is...

Cheng Zhishu, carrying her schoolbag, stopped and fell silent in front of Lou, who looked almost identical to her.

She has a terrible sense of direction and can never remember the way she has walked.

Outside, she could ask for directions, but inside the Xi residence, she still couldn't find a good way. It was the servants' dinner time, and they would eat a little earlier than the Xi family.

So the servants who usually appear in various corners are now working in shifts, and no one can ask Cheng Zhishu for directions.

She doesn't have a cell phone; her parents took all the money she earned from tutoring, and her plan to buy a smartphone has been put on hold, so she can't find anyone to pick her up.

Cheng Zhishu lowered her eyes in the evening breeze. Even if she had a cell phone, no one would be willing to come and pick her up.

Was there a fountain where I just walked?

Cheng Zhishu's method of remembering routes was very simple: he would note what he had passed and what was nearby.

She looked around and thought carefully: "It seems that when I came back yesterday, I passed the fountain and the flower bed with white flowers, then turned two corners and went up to the third floor."

At the end of the third floor is Cheng Zhishu's room, with an orange sticky note on the door.

This was how she identified her room, and it was also the first time she had a room with a door.

"Forget it, I can't find it this way. I'll just go to the main gate and look again." With her schoolbag on her back, Cheng Zhishu tried to find the direction of the gate and walked around again.

The Xi residence was much larger than Cheng Zhishu had imagined. The decoration style was uniform, and it was an old house that was almost a hundred years old. As she walked, Cheng Zhishu got lost again.

The moon quietly rose into the sky. A lost girl, carrying her schoolbag, wandered into the depths of a flower bush, looking around with bewildered eyes.

"Where is this? Have I been here before?" As soon as it got dark, Cheng Zhishu's sense of direction plummeted to zero. "I heard this is a century-old house. Am I lost in a maze?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard someone's voice coming from not far away. Cheng Zhishu's eyes lit up and she followed the direction.

Where there is direction, there are people; where there are people, there are people who can give directions.

What the hell is this "wall-breaking" nonsense?

People who grew up under the red flag should not be superstitious.

The closer they got to that side, the clearer the voices became. Cheng Zhishu peeked out from across the lawn.

"You are not my child at all, she is!"

"Mom, what are you saying?"

Someone sat among the flowers, looking intently at the tablet on the table. It was lit up, and a bitter dialogue came through the screen.

"Yes, I admit it. I switched you and Xiaolin at the hospital back then. I've always been mean to you because I don't like you at all. I hate you!"

"What did you say?"

"Alright, stop talking! Can't you consider Feifei's feelings?"

He lifted one hand from the table, double-clicked the tablet, and the melodramatic dialogue finally stopped.

Cheng Zhishu was taken aback. The figure sitting at the table looked up and stared straight at her, with a beauty mark under his eye.

It's her.

Xi Congshuang took in the person: "I've never seen you before. Who are you?"

Look closely, there's a lost orange pastry here. We should...
