Yan Ning recognized the voice as that of the woman who was supposed to move to the lower bunk yesterday.
This woman must be that girl’s stepmother!
The girl's appearance is obviously very different from this woman's. She definitely can't give birth to such a beautiful child.
Alas! A child without a mother is like a weed.
After a few seconds, the woman said again: "Alright, alright, go away and cry. I feel upset just seeing you."
Then the girl came over sobbing and walked to the other end.
The shouting stopped and the carriage became quiet again for a while.
Yan Ning raised his hand to check the time. It was 8:25 in the morning.
She lay down and dozed off for a few minutes.
By around 8:30, the carriage became lively again.
Yan Ning got up and went to the bathroom. She wanted to go into the space to wash up.
When she came to the bathroom door, she glanced at the girl standing at the door of the connecting car.
Then he held his breath, went into the bathroom, locked the door, and quickly entered the space.
She washed up in the space, went to the toilet, and then left the space, holding her breath and leaving the bathroom.
Just as she was about to turn around and go back to the carriage, she paused again and turned to look at the crying girl standing at the door.
Yan Ning thought for a moment and walked towards her.
The girl looked at the tissue in front of her, was stunned for a moment, and turned her head to look over.
Yan Ning handed the tissue forward again, "Wipe it!"
"Thank you!" The girl took the tissue and thanked him.
This paper is so soft! It’s the first time she has used such paper!
Yan Ning asked, "Is that woman your stepmother? Did she do that to your face?"
The girl wiped her tears, looked out the window with lifeless eyes, and whispered: "She is not my stepmother, she is my adoptive mother. She bought me as a child bride.
Later, her eldest son and husband died in an accident, and she said that I was the one who brought them to ruin.
She wanted me to work like a slave in her house all my life, until I grew up, she wanted to use my face to sell for a good price,
I wanted to run away, but where could I go? My face was everywhere, and I was surrounded by people with bad intentions.
I had no choice but to destroy my face. If I lost this face, would she not have sold me out?
I can continue to live in that family, even if I have to work like a slave, as long as I can survive."
Yan Ning was silent for a moment, not because of sympathy, but because he couldn't comment on her words, or even understand them.
I can be so cruel as to destroy my own face, but I can't be so cruel as to resist.
If she could muster the courage and ruthlessness she showed when she was disfigured, ten adoptive mothers like her would not be her match.
Yan Ning spoke slowly: "Being beautiful is not a sin, being beautiful and weak is the original sin. If you can use the ruthlessness you had when you were disfigured to make yourself stronger,
Then no one can hurt you, and you won’t have to depend on others to live.”
The girl was stunned and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
This was the first time someone had said such words to her, and the first time someone had taught her to resist.
The girl looked at Yan Ning and said, "Thank you for telling me these words."
Yan Ning smiled and turned back to the carriage.
She was just a chance acquaintance on the train, and she said a few extra words.
Whether the girl listens or not depends on herself, it has nothing to do with her.
The train arrived in Beijing around six o'clock in the evening.
Yan Ning and Yan Yuqi took their belongings and got off the train.
The woman in the next berth was pulling a little boy as she walked past them, cursing. The girl followed the woman with her luggage and her head down.
Yan Ning withdrew his gaze and followed Yan Yuqi out of the train station with the crowd.
Yan Ning asked, "Brother, when does your train to Yangcheng leave?"
Yan Yuqi: "There are no trains to Guangzhou tonight. I'll buy the earliest one at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.
I'm staying at a guesthouse near the train station tonight. What about you, sister? Where are you going to stay tonight?"
Yan Ning thought for a moment and said, "It's not very convenient for me to live nearby. I'll just stay at the guesthouse in the city center tonight!"
After the two of them had discussed it, they separated at the entrance of the train station. Yan Yuqi went to buy a train ticket for tomorrow, while Yan Ning took a bus to the central city.
After getting off the bus in the city center, Yan Ning found a guesthouse nearby and booked a room with a letter of introduction.
After entering the room, she went straight into the space to rest.
It was not until nine o'clock in the morning of the third day that Yan Ning set out for the Bai family.
The Bai family lives in a two-story Western-style building in a certain ministry’s staff compound in the northern part of the city.
There was a sentry at the gate. When Yan Ning went in, he was stopped, questioned, and his information was recorded.
After registering, Yan Ning asked the guard to call and inform the Bai family that she was here.
After receiving the reply, she entered the compound and headed inside.
The original owner had been to the Bai family once with Yan Guopu and Bai Min.
Yan Ning followed the route he remembered and walked towards the small Western-style building at the back.
When they walked outside the Bai family's yard, Bai's aunt was standing at the door waiting for Yan Ning.
This aunt is a distant relative of Bai Wenyuan. On the surface, she is a distant relative of the Bai family, but privately she is actually the nanny of the Bai family.
Aunt Li saw Yan Ning and walked over to open the gate. "Miss Yan, the lady is waiting for you in the living room!"
Yan Ning smiled and nodded, then walked into the house.
After entering the door, Yan Ning saw Madam Bai and Yin Qingyu sitting on the sofa in the living room.
