She was the only daughter of the Du family, but she suffered all kinds of grievances and bullying. Even a servant could ride roughshod over her.
This story begins when I was thirteen years old.
Before she turned thirteen, she was a carefree little girl, loved by her father and mother.
Until one night, her mother came to her room in the middle of the night, and that night she learned many false truths.
For example, her father didn't really love her; for example, her father and mother had secretly divorced long ago.
Everything was an illusion, and she was kept in the dark the whole time.
"My daughter, a woman's life is of utmost importance. If a man in the future cannot give you his all, never give yourself away, understand?"
Her mother said many things to her, but this one sentence was the most memorable.
Because when she said those words, her eyes were filled with obvious hatred and resentment.
At that time, she didn't know that those were her mother's farewell words.
She assumed it was because her daughter was about to grow up that her mother was giving her earnest advice.
It wasn't until the next day that her mother's almost cold body fully awakened her.
What teachings? It turned out to be her mother's last words to her.
The sleeping pills on the bedside table suggest that Mom committed suicide, but why?
What could possibly cause a mother who deeply loves her daughter to leave this world and abandon her?
My mother told me to go back to the villa in the suburbs when I turned eighteen and find a box.
She knew that the box must contain all of her mother's secrets, including the cause of her mother's death.
Countless times she wanted to go directly to the outskirts of the city, dig up the box, and find out the truth.
But she held back, because her mother had repeatedly told her that she could only go when she was eighteen.
Those were her mother's last words; she couldn't ignore them.
She thought her mother's death was the most painful thing in her life, but she was too naive.
After her mother died, her nominal father never came back to handle the funeral.
When he returned, he was holding the hand of a woman in one hand and a little girl even younger than her in the other.
With a smile, he introduced his new wife and adorable daughter to the household servants.
He doesn't act like a man who has just lost his wife at all.
He also seemed to have completely forgotten about his own daughter, turning a blind eye to her.
And so, her real hard times began.
In this incredibly familiar home, she went from being a pampered young lady to someone even less than a servant.
Her walk-in closet and princess room belonged to Du Qianqian, and her jewelry also belonged to Du Qianqian.
Even her father became Du Qianqian's personal property.
Under the deliberate instructions of Liu Yuan and Du Qianqian, she usually did all the housework.
Is it because there are no maids to do housework? No, they just don't want her to have an easy time.
The days were tough, but I finally turned eighteen.
That day, she secretly returned to the cherry blossom tree in the suburban villa.
However, she became timid.
She desperately wanted to know the truth, yet feared that the truth would be something she couldn't bear.
After much hesitation, she finally dug out the wooden box that had been sealed away for many years.
Inside was only a yellowed letter, which clearly recorded all of her mother's grievances and the cause of her death.
The moment she finished reading the letter, she even felt like killing someone. Why?
Why treat them, mother and daughter, like this?
Du Gan, you're worse than an animal.
If you don't love her anymore, you can tell the truth. Why torture your mother like this?
And that 20% stake, that cold, hard thing, is it really that important?
It was so important that he was willing to kill his own wife and daughter to get it.
Du Gan, you just wait. Justice will prevail. I don't believe a villain like you can be arrogant and smug for long.
After learning the truth, her gaze towards that family of three would inexplicably reveal hatred.
Therefore, her days became even more difficult.
Until one day, she met a man in a similar situation to her outside a suburban estate.
He is Jiang Yun Shen, the eldest son of the Jiang family, and like her, he is also a child without a mother.
Their shared experiences made them feel a deep connection, and from then on, they would meet under the cherry blossom tree every Sunday without fail.
"Yun Shen, do you want revenge?" she asked softly, leaning against his back.
"I will take back everything I have, nothing will be lost." Jiang Yunshen reached out and caught a few cherry blossoms, his eyes full of determination and seriousness.
"Me too, no one can take away what my mother left me."
In the blink of an eye, the two have known each other for two years.
One is a refined and elegant young master from a wealthy family, while the other remains like Cinderella.
It's another Sunday, under the cherry blossom tree.
"Qianqian, I've already succeeded one-third of the way. Soon I will become the head of the Jiang family. Then I'll help you deal with Du Gan."
The man looked at her with an irresistible affection; he had fallen for her.
He fell in love with this little woman who shared the same experiences as him, yet was exceptionally resilient and courageous.
"Yun Shen, I..." may have to leave.
My mother said that she would be able to fully control those 20% of the shares when she turned 20.
Her twentieth birthday is just a few days away.
Dugan will definitely force her to sign the share transfer agreement on her birthday.
Therefore... she had to leave early.
"Qianqian, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Her expression made Jiang Yun gasp for breath.
"Did those three people do something to you again? You should move out and live elsewhere. I'll stay with you."
That day, Jiang Yunshen said many heartwarming things to her.
Let her feel what it's like to be loved again.
At the same time, she secretly made up her mind that she would not be a caged bird.
She had to stand openly by his side, becoming someone who fought alongside him against their enemies.
I originally planned to say goodbye to Jiang Yunshen the next day, and then leave Country C the day after tomorrow.
But unexpectedly, plans can't keep up with changes.
On her way home, she was taken hostage by several people who seemed to want to imprison her.
At the critical moment, it was Uncle Jin who saved her.
Uncle Jin is a shareholder of the company and also a close friend of my mother.
He drove her directly to the airport. "Du Gan knows you're planning to leave, and he's already desperate."
“You can’t stay in Country C. There are 50 million here, enough for you to live on for a while. Remember, don’t come back until you have the ability to fight against them.”
A bank card was handed to her, and she couldn't help but cry.
"Uncle Jin, if I leave, will he cause you trouble?"
"Don't worry, he wouldn't dare to do anything to me openly. Hurry up, don't bring your phone if it has a GPS tracking feature. Go to this address and find an aunt named Xiaohan. She will help you."
Another note was slipped into her hand.
She looked reluctantly toward the cherry blossom tree. "Yun Shen, I'm sorry, I have to break my promise."
