She is not someone else.

This was the woman that Mrs. Shi, or Shi's mother, always talked about, the one who was "locked up in a mental hospital and turned into a lunatic."

River rain.

Shi Yan's mother.

People say that fate often plays tricks on people.

When she was young, Jiang Yu was recognized as a rare talent.

She lived in an orphanage until she was six years old. With a scribbled scribble, she won the favor of a famous oil painter who happened to come to the orphanage to do charity work, and was then officially adopted as his daughter.

The oil painter is a single woman in her forties who has never been married. She is passionate about the career she has been running for half her life. She values ​​Jiang Yu very much and intends to train Jiang Yu to become an artist like herself.

So at the same time, she had very high requirements for Jiang Yu and imposed a lot of control on him.

What time to get up, what time to go to bed, how many glasses of water to drink, how many glasses of milk to drink, etc. are all strictly made into a form to be completed every day.

The woman personally drives Jiang Yu to and from school, picking him up and dropping him off regardless of rain or shine.

Even if the woman cannot come due to force majeure, she will entrust someone she trusts to go, and will not hang up the phone until she hears that Jiang Yu has arrived home.

In short, she would not allow Jiang Yu to appear anywhere that she could not control.

Jiang Yu's after-school and weekend activities were different from those of her peers. She only studied oil painting.

There is a ready-made teacher at home, and the woman gives her all and teaches the child step by step.

Jiang Yu's entire childhood and adolescence were occupied by "learning oil painting", but she never showed any reluctance or dissatisfaction with it.

On the contrary, she was grateful to her adoptive mother.

Jiang Yu did not disappoint her adoptive mother. She studied hard and her talent made her very successful. She won many trophies and certificates whenever she participated in competitions. She held her own painting exhibitions at a young age and made her mark in the art world.

In school, Jiang Yu's academic performance is also not inferior. She is born with a cool and beautiful appearance, gentle temperament and politeness. She is a well-deserved school belle and a talented girl.

When puberty struck, many boys admired her, but none of them could successfully approach her.

Because Jiang Yu's adoptive mother will handle all the troubles that affect her studies and oil painting.

Whenever her adoptive mother heard that Jiang Yu was being harassed by a boy again, she would immediately put down her work, go straight to the school's academic affairs office, ask for the boy's parents' contact information, and arrange for the parents to come out for a meeting on the same day.

Then, solemnly, sternly and mercilessly, all traces of charm and ambiguity were destroyed without a trace, leaving no possibility of survival.

The adoptive mother would never tire of telling Jiang Yu again and again that men were meaningless and despicable, and that getting close to them would only make her unhappy. Jiang Yu did not need love between men and women, she only needed to concentrate on learning her oil painting well, and then become an outstanding oil painter like her.

Young Jiang Yu was confused when she heard these words and could not fully understand their meaning, but she nodded and agreed to them one by one, and followed the life plan set by her adoptive mother and did everything she did.

In a sense, Jiang Yu is a beautiful dodder, growing up under the all-round protection of her adoptive mother, and according to the trend, her future life will continue in this direction.

Smooth, worry-free, without having to face any troubles and problems.

But after all, things are unpredictable.

This stability came to an abrupt end when Jiang Yu turned 20.

——My adoptive mother was in a car accident on her way to a foreign exchange meeting and died on the spot.

This was like a bolt from the blue for Jiang Yu.

With the help of many of her friends, her funeral was completed.

Jiang Yu was immersed in the pain of losing her mother. Without her adoptive mother, her life changed drastically. Some simple daily life things that she didn't need to do in the past became her biggest stumbling block.

For example, she can't cook.

Jiang Yu was interested in cooking, but her adoptive mother didn't let her learn when she was alive. She would even scold her when she saw her eager to try and approach the kitchen door, saying that it would be better to go back to her room and practice a few more line drafts instead of wasting time on such things. As a result, now even cooking a bowl of noodles is like a disaster scene for her.

But this is not the most difficult thing.

With the passing of my adoptive mother, many of the personal connections associated with her were also severed.

The identity of my adoptive mother as my adopted daughter vanished into thin air. I could no longer enter the advanced art class where the tuition fee was calculated by the minute. I could no longer easily get the registration form for the famous international art festival competition.

During that period of time, Jiang Yu experienced the fickleness of human nature.

What is even more memorable is that one time, when Jiang Yu was submitting a creative design for a large company, her roommate secretly swapped their manuscripts. As a result, her roommate won the first prize with her three months of hard work, while she was eliminated directly.

Jiang Yu wanted to seek justice for herself, but because she didn't have the other party's backing, the matter was trivialized.

There is no way to complain.

Jiang Yu was furious but helpless. He hid in the stairwell alone and cried out of grievance.

Halfway through crying, I was interrupted by the sound of a door being pushed open and footsteps.

She looked up and saw a handsome man with a noble temperament looking at her, with his brows furrowed and a look of obvious surprise in his eyes.

Then, he put away the cigarette he was about to smoke, reached out, handed Jiang Yu a pack of clean tissues, and said something.

"Are you okay?"

…

A man named Shi Deming broke into Jiang Yu's life.

He has outstanding appearance, gentle manners, excellent conversation, and behaves like a gentleman in every way. He even uses his power to help Jiang Yu remove her roommate who plagiarized her manuscript from the competition, and makes a public statement to prove her guilt.

It was hard for Jiang Yu to avoid being moved.

But she hid it well and never showed any signs.

Because the man did not look like a child from an ordinary family, his extraordinary temperament that was different from ordinary people could not be concealed.

Jiang Yu knew clearly that there was a huge difference between them now, and before he got too deeply involved, he made up his mind to cut off all ties between them.

She began to avoid the man, blocked and deleted all contact information, and followed a teacher at the time to go to another place to collect folk songs and study for two months.

I thought everything was over.

After collecting wind, Jiang Yu returned home from outside, only to see a man appear at her door.

After not seeing her for two months, he looked much more haggard. Only after seeing her did he become a little more energetic. He begged Jiang Yu to stop hiding from him.
