After his father died, Xia Yu knew that he no longer had a home.
But at that time she thought, fortunately she still had her mother.
But when she moved into the Mo family with her mother, she suddenly discovered that her mother was gone too.
In other words, her mother only had eyes for her stepfather and stepbrother, and no room for her anymore.
Maybe because he had been living under someone else's roof since he was a child, Xia Yu learned to read people's expressions very early on.
She knew that the Mo family didn't like her, so she carefully reduced her presence in the Mo family and in school. However, this presence was not something she could reduce just because she wanted to.
From the moment she entered the Mo family, she and her mother had become thorns in Mo Yanzhi's eyes.
Thanks to Mo Yanzhi, she lived worse than the nanny in the Mo family and was isolated at school.
This situation became worse as she grew older, became more beautiful, and had a better figure.
When she heard the teacher say that she was "cheap" and wanted to "seduce" other male students, she couldn't help crying.
But crying won't solve anything; it will only make them bully you even more.
Xia Yu wanted to talk to her mother, but her mother didn't have time to listen, nor did she want to hear the boring thoughts of an adolescent girl.
After she married into the Mo family, she had too many things to do. She was busy cooking for her stepfather and stepbrother, busy solving their daily chores, and busy with beauty and weight loss.
Xia Yu's mother is very clear about the capital that enabled her to marry her current husband, and she must hold this capital firmly in her hands.
Every time Xia Yu took the initiative to step forward, all she got was her mother's disdain and asking her to stay away from her.
Because Xia Yu's existence only reminds her that she is a remarried woman with a burden.
Gradually, Xia Yu stopped looking for his mother and only tried to please his nanny, stepfather and brother secretly.
Only by pleasing her can she feel a little better.
So when Uncle Mo asked her to learn opera, she would train her voice; when he asked her to learn dancing, she would practice morning and night; when he asked her to learn the guzheng, she would persist even if her fingers bled...
She grew better and better, and followed Uncle Mo to attend various banquets, showing her beauty to everyone, demonstrating her eloquence, and proving her value.
But it was no use, Mo Yanzhi didn't like her.
Mo Yanzhi felt that his mother's death was caused by Xia Yu's mother.
Therefore, Xia Yu has always felt guilty towards Mo Yanzhi, and gradually felt that everything he is suffering now is what he deserves and that he is atonement for his sins.
Therefore, she did whatever the Mo family asked her to do.
But she really wanted to go to college.
When Xia Yu's father was still alive, he said that he hoped Xia Yu could get into college in the future and bring honor to the family.
She is her father's only child, and he is waiting for her to bring honor to the family, so how could she be arranged to marry a man who is decades older than her?
So, Xia Yu ran away.
Although he escaped from the tiger's den of the Mo family, he entered the wolf's den of the Jiang family.
In the past few years in the Jiang family, she has indeed lived much better materially than in the Mo family.
The years she lived in the Mo family taught her how to read people's expressions and how to please a man. Even if she didn't want to, if she wanted to continue staying in the Jiang family and if she wanted to get into college, she had to be obedient.
After her father died, the words she heard most often were "be good" and "be obedient."
She vaguely knew that her relationship with Jiang Zhisen was abnormal. Jiang Zhisen did many things to her that elders should not do to younger people, but they never crossed the last bottom line.
In Jiang Zhisen's words, he hopes that Xia Yu can officially become his woman after she turns 18.
Xia Yu didn't want to do it in her heart, but it never mattered whether she was willing or not.
Her choices were never respected.
However, she wanted to go to college, she had to get into college, and getting into college became her obsession.
It seemed that only by getting into university could she break away from the past and become a brand new self, a self who could bring honor to the Xia family.
Xia Yu paid a lot for this, but fortunately the result was good, she was admitted to Imperial Capital University.
The moment he received the admission letter, Xia Yu knew that he should prepare for the next step.
If she wanted to leave the Jiang family and escape their bondage, she had to escape.
So she used the excuse of celebrating to get Jiang Zhisen drunk in the hotel with alcohol laced with sleeping pills, and left Jiang Zhisen with only her ID card, admission letter, and some money she had saved.
The Jiang family is powerful, but in the imperial capital, the Jiang family is nothing.
So Xia Yu found a rental house and stayed there until school started, and went to school as soon as it started.
Xia Yu was looking forward to his new life with great hope, but before the new life officially began, he was thrown into the abyss again by the word "mistress".
Xia Yu looked at the two people making trouble at the school gate and felt despair. She suspected that it was Jiang Zhisen's trick, and Jiang Zhisen forced her out.
She didn't dare to come out or speak out, and because of her disregard and indulgence, the school almost confirmed that she was a mistress.
Xia Yu sat on the bed in the dormitory, wishing she could curl herself up into a ball. She almost foresaw how the people in the dormitory and the class would look at her and how they would treat her.
She seemed to be back in the hell she was in before.
As expected, she and one of her roommates got into a fight over the mistress's remarks.
She looked at Guo Chengcheng who left with those harsh words, and she couldn't help but lay on the table and cried softly.
She could have started a new life, but why were they unwilling to let her go?
Just when Xia Yu was giving up on herself, she suddenly heard an unexpected sentence: her new roommate said that she was married.
Xia Yu looked at the girl secretly with red eyes. She was very beautiful, even more beautiful than himself. She was the kind of beauty that was open and natural, the kind that he could never show.
She had never met a girl like this, who was so calm when talking about her marriage or her husband, as if it was a big deal. However, there were almost no married students among this class of freshmen, or even in recent years.
But she got married.
Xia Yu suddenly became curious about this beautiful girl, and this curiosity became even stronger when she calmly confronted Guo Chengcheng, who had brought people back to seek trouble, leaving him speechless.
She is so awesome.
Xia Yu felt that the girl in front of him was not only beautiful, but her eyes also glowed.
Not only that, she has many friends, and every friend is willing to go through fire and water for her, unlike herself, who has no friends since her father died.
Xia Yu stared at the girl named Su Jianwei with sparkling eyes. It would be great if they could become friends.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
No girl would be willing to be friends with someone with a bad reputation. Yes, who would be willing to be friends with a "mistress"?
