Chapter 157 I Am Your Family
"Star……"
Yu Lai got a flashlight from somewhere and illuminated the dark street.
An Xingwan subconsciously waved his hand and hid the two people behind him under the trash can.
"I, I saw everything." Yu Lai stepped forward, took her hand, and continued, "Come with me."
The little girl was lifted into the air by a cloth bag, and the two were found by the staff not long after they left.
"Why are you two here? Go back now."
Yu Lai turned off the flashlight instantly when he saw people, so An Xingwan could hide in the dark to avoid others noticing the blood on her body.
"Please take this girl to the police station. If you ask her, just say you found her on the street."
After all, Yu Lai is a popular young actress, and her mother is a figure that no one in the empire dares to offend. The staff didn't dare to ask more questions and nodded to take the little girl over.
"We'll go back now. Xingxing is here, so you don't have to follow us." Yu Lai took An Xingwan's hand and the two of them walked out of the city.
An Xingwan frowned slightly, but her heart had already calmed down.
These days, as she watched Yu Lai become more and more innocent and beautiful, the anger and obsession in her heart became like a hand in a swamp, pulling her reason into the mud bit by bit.
This feeling made her breathless, and only just now did she realize that it was she who was being controlled by her emotions and refused to let her go.
An Xingwan thought that since she had come to the Star Interstellar, her hatred and resentment towards her parents should have ended there.
But it wasn't until she saw Lillian and saw her experience was so similar to hers, and her anger burst out, that An Xingwan realized that she had not let it go at all.
She tried to forgive her parents and her brother again and again, but in return she was repeatedly let down and treated unfairly.
This resentment is like a seed that has taken root deep inside. It is not that it does not exist, but that it is hidden very deeply.
Once the emotion is irrigated, it will take root and sprout. The bullying by her parents is an indelible pain in her soul.
"I won't tell anyone." Yu Lai said softly, holding her hand tightly and never letting go.
An Xingwan looked at her and tried to pull her hand away. Unlike Yu Lai, she was the one who tried to run towards the sunshine, while Yu Lai was born in the sunshine.
"Xingxing, we are family." Yu Lai held her hand and smiled sideways, "I believe you won't bully the weak. They must have done something very excessive."
An Xingwan was slightly stunned, pursed her lips for a long time before asking, "Why?"
"Hmm? There's no reason. We share the same blood, so we're family.
Do you know? When I first saw you, you were subconsciously wary of me, and I felt really bad for you. You were afraid I would hurt you, right?
An Xingwan didn't expect that she knew all that. Yu Lai's voice choked with sobs as he said, "The more I see you learn these past two days, the more I feel sorry for you. We should be the same, yet you've suffered so much."
"We are different." An Xingwan suddenly stopped and looked at Yu Lai seriously.
Yu Lai didn't understand what she meant and became anxious, "We are the same, you are also Dad's daughter, we should be the same.
You felt strange after seeing that little girl today. Do you hate your father for abandoning you, so..."
"No, everything I did has nothing to do with the Yu family."
An Xingwan did have hatred, but she didn't hate the Yu family. She hated the parents who gave birth to her before she traveled through time.
"No matter why, I consider you my family. Xingxing, please be my sister. I will protect you from now on."
There was determination in Yu Lai's eyes. She always believed that this sister who was half her blood should not be left outside.
An Xingwan didn't say anything, but just continued walking back with Yu Lai.
Yu Lai is too naive, which is enough to show that her parents protect her very well, making her like a princess living in a fairy tale.
When he returned to the room, An Xingwan found that all the cameras nearby were turned off, so he simply turned on the lights.
The blood on her face had dried. Yu Lai came out with a wet towel and pulled her to sit on the bed.
"Just wash it directly." An Xingwan raised his eyebrows slightly as he watched her pulling his hand to wipe the blood off herself.
Yu Lai shook his head and said, "That won't work. Won't the blood get all over me if I flush it? It's very dirty."
An Xingwan's heart, which had been heavy for the past few days, suddenly felt relieved.
Yes, since they are bad things, you should wipe them off and not even let them get on your body.
"You should just be the younger sister. I'm used to being the older sister."
An Xingwan walked into the bathroom with a blood-stained towel. Yu Lai blinked his eyes, and suddenly reacted. He fell on the bed and couldn't help laughing.
Like a little deer meeting an elf, simple and secretly happy.
An Xingwan felt particularly relieved after washing off all the dirt.
She didn't know whether it was because she was taking out her years of pent-up anger on the couple, or because of Yu Lai, but the haze in her heart dissipated.
The memories of the past are so bad, why should we let them bind ourselves all the time?
An Xingwan finally figured it out and truly let it go. Maybe sometimes, being simple isn't such a bad thing.
When she came out, Yu Lai was already asleep. An Xingwan waved to turn off the lights, took off Yu Lai's shoes, and moved her to the bed.
When I woke up the next day, the police officer came again.
"Lillian's father had an accident last night. When he was taken to the hospital, it was too late. One of his arms and both legs were broken."
The police officer said this with a hint of laughter in his tone. They had always wanted to arrest Lillian's father, but unfortunately they had no evidence.
"Well, where's Lillian?" An Xingwan asked. The police officer continued, "Her father is no longer able to raise her and herself, so we arranged to send her to an orphanage in the next city."
An Xingwan nodded, as long as Lillian had a place to stay.
The police officer looked at An Xingwan and pretended to let something slip, then added, "But the surveillance cameras yesterday were all broken and didn't capture anything. I'm afraid his case will have to be dropped."
There wasn't a trace of regret in his tone, but rather a hint of schadenfreude and admiration for An Xingwan.
In his mind, these things must have been done by this beautiful girl.
An Xingwan smiled, "That's such a pity. We have to 'protect' them, especially that woman. It would be very dangerous for her to leave the city alone." She emphasized the word 'protect'.
The young man understood immediately, but didn't say it out loud. He just nodded and said, "Who said it wasn't true? Don't worry, our police officers will definitely protect them well."
If there weren't smiles in the eyes of both of them, one would really think they were so regretful and worried.
After the police officer finished talking about this, he left. Maini turned on the camera again and turned a deaf ear to what happened last night.
Although he didn't know what had happened, he didn't intend to ask any more questions.
This matter concerns the Yu family's daughter, and it will do him no good to ask.
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll make something delicious for lunch." An Xingwan exchanged a few pounds of chicken feet and a few lemons with Maini.
An Xingwan first made some breakfast, and then took advantage of the free time to make fruit salad and milkshake.
This time we not only made mango milkshake, but also milkshakes of other flavors.
"If no one comes in the morning, you can go to the city in the afternoon." After finishing the things to sell, he started to process the chicken feet.
Wen Duolin and Yu Lai put all the fruit salads and milkshakes in the refrigerator, and soon guests really came.
They all came for the fruit salad and milkshakes, and some even left with several cups by themselves.
Because they could make and sell at the same time at home, business was pretty good in the morning, so Wen Duolin and Yu Lai had a lot of time to spare.
An Xingwan calculated the time and it was almost time to prepare lunch, so she started to prepare the ingredients.
She planned to make spicy lemon chicken feet, which was one of her favorite dishes that could be eaten as a snack.
