Xiaoli knows what kind of people her best friend's family is. They are a shameless, disgusting group of people who exploit her best friend at will, so she is really afraid that her best friend will be hurt.
She had heard from her best friend that her family actually wanted her to drop out of school and work when she was in junior high school, but for some reason they later gave up the idea.
Now she suspects that they had actually started plotting since then. Knowing that their younger daughter's grades were not good, they planned to wait for her best friend to get into college and then let her take her place.
No wonder my best friend has been strictly controlled by them since she was a child. She was hardly allowed to go out to play. She had to stay at home after school every day, and they didn’t even let her play with them.
She said that would affect her studies, while her younger daughter could play around and not care about her grades at all.
Now that I think about it, everything has a clear path forward. How could it be that he didn't care? It was clearly premeditated.
Thinking of this, her eyes turned red with anxiety.
"After I realized something was wrong, I secretly went to her house to see if her younger sister was home because her younger sister didn't get into university due to poor academic performance. However, her parents' faces changed drastically and they kicked me out. They also said that their younger daughter had run away with someone else and told me not to mention her again."
"How could I possibly believe this? They've always doted on their youngest daughter. How could they possibly be acting this way? It only means that the youngest daughter is the one currently attending university, and the one who's missing is my best friend."
"As for what they said about running away with someone else, I don't believe it at all. Either they sold her or they hid her away."
[Oh my god, hearing you say that, it’s really scary when I think about it!]
[Yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel like they're so cruel. They sent the older sister somewhere else just to let the younger sister take over the university spot. Doesn't that mean the older sister isn't their biological child? I give in.]
[It would be great if she were still alive. I’m afraid she’s already…]
[That shouldn't be the case, right? How could biological parents be so cruel?]
"Of course not! They've let their youngest daughter take over their eldest daughter's university place and her life. I wouldn't be surprised by anything she does."
Twins can be scary, no wonder ancient emperors’ concubines had to kill one of the twins they gave birth to.
…
Xiaoli was really afraid that her best friend would be taken to an unknown place by that family, and might even be sold to someone else as a wife.
The more she spoke, the more excited she became. She became extremely irritable and kept pacing back and forth.
"Master, I have no evidence. Since the family didn't report the case, the police can't believe me. Now only you can help me. Please help me calculate whether she is still alive?"
Qi Ling expressed her understanding: "Do you know any photos of the two sisters? Show them to me."
Xiaoli nodded quickly, then took out a palm-sized high school photo and a college photo of the two of them from the bed.
They were indeed two girls who looked exactly the same, even the mole between their eyebrows was the same, making it almost impossible to tell them apart. However, if you looked closely, you could still see subtle differences.
The girl in school uniform on the left is smiling shyly and looks very well-behaved and weak.
The girl on the right is extremely gorgeous, with an extremely flamboyant expression, and looks very cool.
[The temperaments of these two people are completely different. It is obvious that they are not the same person.]
[Yes, yes, yes. Just based on these two photos, I completely believe what Xiaoli said. The two have such a huge difference in temperament. No matter how much they change, it can't be this drastic, right?]
[No, aren't these two the same person? One is mature and wears makeup, while the other is more childish and wears no makeup.]
I used to think it was hard to tell twins apart, but these two look exactly the same, and yet they're easy to tell apart. Anyone who can't tell them apart is face-blind, right?
[No, are you really that good? You can tell something is wrong right away?]
[What are you bragging about? If Xiaoli hadn't said they were two different people, I don't believe you could tell at first glance.]
…
Netizens had different opinions, but Qi Ling did notice the first girl at first sight.
His expression suddenly changed, and he kept calculating with his hands.
When Xiaoli saw her expression, her heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but feel scared.
She couldn't wait to speak, "Master Qi, why do you look like that? Could something have happened to my best friend? Woo woo woo"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but wipe away her tears, and the sadness almost overwhelmed her.
Qi Ling pointed at the shy girl and said, "Don't worry, your bestie is still alive, and you guessed right, the one attending university now is indeed her sister."
Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. As long as she was still alive, there was still hope.
"Where is the Master now? Is she doing well?"
In fact, she had already guessed in her heart that if her parents could be so cruel, how could they treat her well!
But she still hoped that Qi Ling would give an answer that her best friend was doing well, but she was disappointed.
Qi Ling shook her head. "Alas, she's having a very hard time. She's now in the city next to yours, in a very far-flung, remote, and backward rural area."
"What?"
Xiaoli always has a bad feeling. It’s not that she is prejudiced against rural areas, but her grandmother is from the countryside.
But there are indeed some extremely remote and extremely poor rural men who are very scary and dark, especially those who have no money to marry a wife.
The poorer the place, the more likely it is for crime to breed.
She simply couldn't imagine what kind of torture her best friend would be in if she went to that kind of place.
"You're right. Her mother sold her for 20,000 yuan to an old bachelor in the countryside. The bachelor is 50 years old this year and has never married because he is too poor."
After hearing what Qi Ling said, Xiaoli could no longer sit still and she couldn't help but gasp.
She kicked the stool in anger and gritted her teeth, "Old bachelor? 20,000 yuan? Damn it, are they still human? This is their own daughter! How could they do this?"
She was so angry that she was shaking all over. It was hard to imagine how there could be such parents? Was her best friend their daughter?
Why do they do this?
[Oh my god, from what the master said, such a promising person was sold by her mother? Or was she sold to an old bachelor?]
Just hearing this makes me want to hit someone. I'm so angry. Do you have the address of that couple's parents? I really want to be a keyboard warrior and teach them a lesson.
[Is this their biological child? They look exactly like each other, how could they have the heart to do this?]
[My heart aches. I can't imagine what your best friend has gone through. She had a bright future, but ended up facing ruthless parents and a sister.]
What sin had she committed that made her parents hate her so much and want to harm her so much?
20,000 yuan? Are they crazy because of poverty?
[I have a bad feeling. Could this 20,000 yuan be used to support my youngest daughter?]
…
Because it was so unbelievable, netizens were extremely angry and really wanted to rush over and kill the parents.
When Qi Ling saw what she had experienced, she felt extremely disgusted with the parents, who were simply unworthy of being parents.
