"We knew each other before, right?" Cheng Yanmo's tone was firm.
He had already remembered that a long time ago, there seemed to be a girl named Li Wen who appeared briefly in his life.
She is like a firework, fleeting.
Vivien hummed softly, "I know him."
Cheng Yanmo put down the wine glass in his hand, crossed his arms, stared at Feiwen, who looked a little uneasy with her eyes slightly downcast, and suddenly laughed briefly. "So it's you..." Cheng Yanmo said in confusion.
Feiwen: "Hmm?" She bravely raised her head and looked directly at Cheng Yanmo, mustering up the courage to ask Cheng Yanmo tentatively: "Boss, do you remember me?"
Cheng Yanmo nodded.
"You've become..." He spread his palms out in front of him and turned them around, seeming to be a little confused, not knowing how to express his feelings. Finally, he just sighed softly: "Compared to when you were young, you have changed so much. I really didn't expect you to be..."
“It turned out to be…”
Fei Wen gave a bitter laugh and finished what Cheng Yanmo hadn't been able to finish. "I never thought I'd be that fat pig."
Fat pig, Chinese fat pig, this is the nickname those people gave to Vivien.
Cheng Yanmo frowned, "Don't say that about yourself."
Vivien is now strong enough that when she looks back on the insults she suffered in her youth, she is no longer as indignant as before.
She said: "I was indeed very fat at that time. I was tall and fat, and I also had acne during puberty..." At that time, the school selected the four ugliest girls, and Vivien was the ugliest.
At Shang Ying International School, students had to wear a uniform. Vivien's uniform was the largest size available for girls. She didn't even dare wear a skirt because her legs were so fat, just like those of a chubby girl...
She was always bullied by people at school, locked in the toilet, had her pants stripped to check her gender, had her hair pulled maliciously by girls, and was blocked at the corner of the stairs by boys to bully, humiliate, and even beat her.
Anyone who sees the domineering and decisive Vivien today would find it hard to believe that she had been bullied at school for three and a half years.
She was not bullied by one person or a group of people, she was bullied by the entire class, even the entire school.
"To be honest, when I realized you might be Wen, I was shocked myself." When Cheng Yanmo saw Han Miao at Yulong Manor today, the image of a fat classmate from high school suddenly flashed in his mind.
He vaguely remembered that the fat classmate's name seemed to be Wen, but at that time, all the students in the class called her Fatty, and only the teacher would occasionally call her by her name.
While Cheng Yanmo was having dinner, he kept thinking about this matter, so he was not talkative at the table.
Now that his suspicions had been confirmed, Cheng Yanmo found it unbelievable. In his memory, Wen, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, was already over sixty feet tall and weighed nearly two hundred pounds.
Wen was really fat at that time.
Cheng Yanmo looked at Feiwen with a puzzled look. "How did you lose weight?" Cheng Yanmo couldn't imagine how much suffering Feiwen had endured in order to lose weight.
"Lose weight. It took me three years to successfully lose weight." Vivien spoke calmly with a smile on her face, but Cheng Yanmo knew she was lying.
Cheng Yanmo's expression darkened. He said, "Tell the truth."
Vivien's beautiful hazel eyes turned slowly twice before she lowered her eyes.
She had hidden both her hands under the table without knowing it.
Vivien clutched her pants, lowered her head, and whispered, "My father died when I was very young. Later, my mother married an American man with me. I was only six years old when they got married. At that time, I was just a slightly plump girl."
"My stepfather always wanted to train me to be a lady and a socialite, hoping that I would marry a partner who could help him in his career. But later, as I grew older, I became fatter and fatter..."
"Ten years passed, my mother had grown old and her looks had faded, and my stepfather had found a new lover with a beautiful daughter. Naturally, my mother was kicked out of the house."
"My mother took me back to her hometown in Shanghai. My stepfather raised her like a good-for-nothing, all about eating, drinking, having fun, and shopping, but she had no ability to earn money. Soon after returning to Shanghai, we became destitute. My mother couldn't endure the hardship of working, so she started looking for different men to be their lovers and mistresses..."
"But she wasn't young anymore, she didn't have the beauty she once had, and she was always abandoned. Later, my mother became a little mentally ill. She would always beat me, scold me, and ask me why I was as fat as a pig. She also said that at least the pig could be slaughtered and sold for meat to pay back the money, so what could I get in exchange?"
When talking about her life in Shanghai, Vivien was humble, with her head down, not wanting anyone to see her vulnerability and fear.
I don’t know what terrible past event she thought of, but her shoulders suddenly shrank in fear.
When she spoke again, her voice was even softer. "One time when I came home from school, my mother called an old man over and told me that she had sold me to him for 50,000 yuan."
Vivien's fingers pinched her thigh so hard that it hurt. She would not allow herself to cry. She said, "The old man took off my clothes in front of my mother, but finally stopped. He spat in my face and said I was too ugly, too fat, and that I had lost his appetite..."
"Stop talking." Cheng Yanmo didn't want to listen anymore. Whenever he thought about that scene, his heart ached.
