Chapter 213 Painful Aoba
In the complete silence of the room, the sound of him kneeling down was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, startling Zhang Mi. She quickly got up to help him up, "Child, what are you doing?"
A real man kneels only to heaven, earth, and his parents; how can he kneel to just anyone? Get up!
Aoba stubbornly knelt on the ground, "Don't help me up, don't talk about dignity, this thing doesn't belong to me at all, I have nothing... I'm not a real man."
Judging from your appearance, you are not a bad person. You haven't done anything bad to my brother, and that's already the greatest kindness you can show me.
I can't offer you anything in return, this is all I can say to thank you!
Hearing this, Zhang Mi angrily slapped him, "What do you mean you have nothing? Don't you have a younger brother? Don't say you can't repay me."
You're still so young, you have a long road ahead of you! Even though you may be going through some tough times right now, these things will pass.
I think you're a smart kid, and you'll definitely amount to something in the future. Don't think like that.
When you become successful in the future, that will be the greatest reward for me. When I'm old, I can go back and brag about how I had connections with such a remarkable person when I was young.
Aoba suppressed the tears welling up in her eyes and got up from the ground. "Thank you..."
Zhang Mi sighed, "Child, although I don't know what happened to you, I'm willing to listen. Would you like to talk about it?"
Aoba remained silent for a long time before finally speaking in a heavy voice, recalling the past, "When I was very young, my parents died, and I lived with my younger brother."
Most people would think that two people would have a hard time living together, but actually we were already able to take care of ourselves back then.
Because my family actually has some assets, not a lot, but enough for my brother and me to enjoy for a lifetime.
However, money can be a powerful motivator. One day, a distant relative suddenly appeared in our family. She bribed the official in charge at the time, forcibly took custody of us, and seized our family property.
After that, we were brought to this courtyard, and for twelve years, we have never stepped out of this courtyard again.
We used to disbelieve in fate, and we would sneak out at night when everyone was asleep.
But the area was full of their people, and we were caught and brought back soon after. My brother and I were both severely beaten.
You just spoke with Aoki, right? You should have sensed that he's different from ordinary people, right?
Because of that incident, Aoki's head was injured, and he subsequently developed a high fever. As punishment, they refused to call a doctor for Aoki.
That's when Aoki's head was burned. After waking up, he's always had this innocent look on his face. Actually...
He was originally a very smart child; he could recite the Three Character Classic when he was three years old…
At this point, Aoba could no longer hold back his tears. He desperately covered his eyes, but he couldn't stop the hot tears from seeping through his fingers...
Seeing this scene, Zhang Mi felt a pang of sorrow. As a mother, she simply couldn't bear to see such a thing happen!
She imagined what would happen if Zheng Fei were in that situation; she would even have murderous thoughts. If the child's parents were still alive, how heartbroken they would be!
Zhang Mi could clearly sense the despair and helplessness in Qingye. She reached out and stroked his head. "Don't cry! These people will get their comeuppance!"
Aoba removed her hand and wiped away her tears. "I believe it, but I probably won't live to see that day..."
"Why?" Zhang Mi asked in surprise.
