She is Zhou Wanyu, the daughter of the Zhou family in Country A.
When I was seven years old, my mother fell ill.
She survived for less than six months before passing away.
Her mother took her in from a young age and did everything for her personally.
She was like a carefree little princess, but everything changed after her mother died.
She also remembers that on the seventh day after her mother's death, her father called her to his side.
He said, "Xiao Yu, seeing you reminds me of your mother, and it makes me so sad."
Only then did she realize that her father was actually sending her back to his old family estate.
Having just lost her mother, and now having to be separated from her father, she was naturally unwilling.
But faced with her father's persistent pleas, she finally nodded in agreement.
"Dad, when are you coming to pick me up?" she asked, tears streaming down her face.
Little did they know that this departure would be their last.
"I'll have someone bring you back once I've calmed down a bit. Be a good boy/girl."
She was too young to understand the meaning of those words.
Have you calmed down?
Should someone bring you back?
This is not something a father would say to his daughter.
She was her parents' only child and was pampered from a young age. Her parents always accompanied her when she went out.
The next morning.
The servants moved all her things into the car.
She thought her father would hug her reluctantly and say goodbye.
As it turned out, he didn't come back.
She glanced at the place where she grew up, then got into the car, feeling dejected.
As she watched her home recede into the distance outside the car window, she realized that she would really have to live alone from now on.
Three hours later, we finally arrived back in our hometown of Ancheng.
Contrary to her expectations, there wasn't a single person to greet her in front of the huge manor.
Only the driver, Uncle Liu, helped her carry her suitcase into the lobby.
The moment her foot stepped across the threshold, a sharp and sarcastic voice rang out.
"Oh, you think you're some rich heiress?"
"I..." She took two steps back in fear. Why was she being spoken to like that?
Aren't all the people in her hometown her relatives?
"He's become mute, he can't even call me Second Aunt anymore?" Xu Xiangyu's face grew increasingly grim.
If the driver hadn't been there, she would have definitely given this little girl a piece of her mind.
"Hello, Second Aunt." She forced a smile and bowed to greet her.
Mommy always says that you can't hit a smiling face, and it's always good to be sweet-talking and smile more.
By this time, the driver had finished unloading the last box of luggage.
"Miss, please take good care of yourself from now on. Master will be taking you back soon."
Uncle Liu said this to Xu Xiangyu.
This was the only thing he could do for the young lady.
Little did he know that his words would plant a deep seed of expectation in Zhou Wanyu's heart.
She endured Xu Xiangyu's bullying and orders while waiting expectantly at the manor gate.
Winter goes and spring comes.
This wait lasted a full thirteen years.
Finally, the immense disappointment stirred her rebellious spirit.
Taking advantage of the quiet of the night, she escaped from the manor clutching the wooden ball her mother had left her.
Finally, she returned to the villa in City A that she hadn't seen in a long time. At the door, she saw her father just about to leave.
Just as she was overjoyed and ready to rush over to surprise him, a mother and daughter walked out from behind him.
The girl, who was about the same age as her, was still holding his hand and calling him "Dad."
At that moment, her world seemed to collapse.
She moved her feet with difficulty, hiding where he couldn't see her.
She understood, she understood everything.
Sending her away was just an excuse; the real purpose was to get her to make room for someone else.
"What? She ran away! We must bring her back no matter what!" A burst of angry shouts rang out.
She knew it was her father talking on the phone with people at the estate.
From their conversation, she learned that they were looking for something their mother had left behind.
To avoid being found by them, she left her hometown and came to Country Z alone.
She wandered aimlessly through the streets, not even knowing where she would stay for the night.
Just then, a car came straight at her. Unable to avoid it, she was knocked to the ground.
A gentle-looking man, smelling of disinfectant, picked her up and shoved her into the car.
On the way, she made up her mind to stick to him, saying, "Hey, you hit me, so you have to take responsibility for me."
"Don't worry, I'll cover the medical expenses and compensation." The man's voice was very pleasant.
That must be the most beautiful voice she had ever heard.
When they arrived at the hospital, she was carried onto the operating table, and the man also put on a white coat.
She then learned that he was a doctor, and a feeling of admiration welled up within her.
After her mother died, the thing she wanted to do most was to study medicine, but Xu Xiangyu would never grant her that wish.
For those thirteen years, Xu Xiangyu refused to let her learn anything except going to school.
Looking back now, she was just a useless person, a good-for-nothing who couldn't do anything.
When she regained consciousness, her leg was already in a thick cast, and the person who hit her was no longer in the ward.
I asked a nurse and found out that the person was not only a doctor, but also the director of the hospital.
She dismissed the nurse who wanted to ask her for her identification and secretly slipped into the dean's office.
She casually sat down in front of him and said, "Hey, you said you'd take responsibility, is this how you take responsibility for me?"
The man raised an eyebrow, stopped writing, and asked, "What, you're not satisfied?"
"I'm so glad you put a cast on my little scrape. Should I thank you?"
"You're welcome."
His answer infuriated her.
