"I've wanted to get rid of my parents' halo all my life, but no matter what I do, everyone only sees my parents' glory. No one sees my achievements, so I might as well do nothing." Fu Heng's tone was very frustrated.
"Your idea is wrong. You should make yourself better so that you can get everyone's recognition." Lin Jiu comforted Fu Heng. In fact, she didn't know how to comfort others.
"You don't understand, Lin Jiu. My parents have forced me to live according to their wishes since I was a child. I have never lived a day for myself. Except when I sleep, I feel that I am living my own life."
"Ah!" Lin Jiu sighed deeply from the bottom of his heart, "It's great to have parents. People like me who don't have parents really envy you."
"Lin Jiu, what are you talking about? Aren't you the eldest daughter of the Lin family? How can you say you don't have parents?"
"It's a long story, never mind, I won't go into details."
The two fell into silence until school was over.
Fu Heng poked Lin Jiu's arm and said, "I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
"No, I have to go to the Su family today and ask Su Moyun to help me with my homework."
Suddenly, Su Moyun ran to the window of Class 2 and shouted to Lin Jiu, "Xiaojiu, I have something to do tonight, so the tutoring session is cancelled. You must review your lessons well when you get home tonight."
Lin Jiu smiled awkwardly. This slap in the face was so sudden. "Okay."
"Lin Jiu, I heard Su Moyun say she has something to do tonight. Can I treat you to dinner?"
Lin Jiu didn't answer and was packing his schoolbag.
"Lin Jiu, I won't take up too much of your time eating. I'll take you home after dinner. I'm actually very lonely and always want someone to talk to me. Otherwise, I just sleep every day when I get home."
"Okay." Lin Jiu was still persuaded by Fu Heng, "Meet at the side door of the school."
Gu Family
Gu Xi, with a haggard face, stared at the ceiling at home in a daze. Suddenly, her cell phone rang.
"Xiao Xi, I finally got my chance. After school today, Su Moyun wasn't with Lin Jiu, but with a boy who looked like a weakling."
Gu Xi, with two dark circles under his eyes, suddenly smiled, his face ferocious and terrifying. "Brother Xiao, thank you. Today is the best time to take action. I want Lin Jiu to disappear from this world."
"Xiao Xi, I can do anything for you. Not to mention one Lin Jiu, even ten Lin Jius can make her go to hell."
Alleys in Xicheng District
Lin Jiu and Fu Heng walked side by side.
"Lin Jiu, there's one thing I hope you can understand. Many of the teachers in Bincheng are actually people my dad arranged to keep an eye on me. That's why I can't go to the mall to eat. I can only go to the alleys and night markets. Otherwise, my dad will call and scold me when he finds out. I hope you can understand."
A trace of sadness crossed Fu Heng's brow.
"The night market is delicious, Fu Heng. I'm not one of those wealthy ladies in your mind. I grew up in the slums until a few months ago. Forget the night market. Even having a bowl of hot rice is good enough."
Fu Heng moved closer to Lin Jiu and said, "That's good. I know a place that's really delicious. Let's go there now."
Fu Heng took Lin Jiu to a dark and quiet alley, at the end of which was a crowded night market.
The two sat at a roadside stall.
However, they didn't realize that in the dark corner of the night market, several people had already been targeting them.
Brother Xiao, hiding in the dark, wrapped the machete around the palm of his right hand.
This Xiao Ge was once a beggar, but Gu Xi gave him a steamed bun and saved his life.
He later became a porter in Xicheng District, but he never forgot Gu Xi's kindness.
"Brother, will you see blood right away?"
