Cheng Zhi was surprised and happy when he saw the message, and his fingers tapped quickly on the screen.
"Hello, is this Cheng Yuan herself?"
Five seconds later, a message came from the other side.
"It's me."
After seeing the other party admit that he was the real person, Cheng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and quickly began to briefly describe the threats made by Cheng Li to Cheng Yuan.
Five minutes after the message was sent, Cheng Yuan sent a message.
"I didn't expect that he would still be as stubborn as before..."
After seeing this message, Cheng Zhi paused and did not reply.
After all, this was the original owner's sister. When he came here, he didn't receive any information related to Cheng Yuan in his mind. He even had to search his phone several times before he could find her contact information.
He also had no idea what Cheng Yuan meant by "the same as before", so he didn't dare to jump to conclusion without knowing the specifics.
Cheng Yuan probably doesn't know that Cheng Zhi is no longer her original brother. But judging from the current situation, Cheng Zhi can only borrow the original owner's identity to ask Cheng Yuan for help.
"I was wondering why Cheng Li hadn't come to me for money recently. I thought he finally had some conscience, but I didn't expect him to come to you..."
Cheng Yuan continued to post, "Cheng Li is still threatening you by exposing you as an ungrateful person? He dares to say that. Isn't he afraid that he will feel guilty and be knocked on the door by ghosts in the middle of the night?"
The next second, Cheng Yuan changed the topic.
"You sent this to me to seek help from me?"
Cheng Zhi thought that there was finally a sentence he could say, so he quickly typed "hmm" and sent it over.
Soon, Cheng Yuan sent a message.
"Wait a minute. I can only provide some evidence to prove that Cheng Li did not fulfill his father's obligations before."
Cheng Zhi sent a "OK", put down the phone and waited for a reply.
On the other side of the phone, the room was dark and the curtains were open. Moonlight filtered in through the French windows, casting a thin layer of silver light on Cheng Yuan, who was sitting by the windowsill.
The woman by the window sill had eyebrows and eyes that were somewhat similar to Cheng Zhi, and her facial features were bright and beautiful. When the light from the phone screen hit her face, her facial features were smooth and beautiful.
Cheng Yuan stared at the sentence "failed to fulfill his father's duties" for a long time.
After a while, Cheng Yuan turned his eyes away from the phone, stood up and walked to the cabinet, took out a cigarette and a lighter, picked up the cigarette skillfully, and lit it.
The room was already dim, and with the smoke, it was difficult to see Cheng Yuan's expression. The only thing that was clear in the room was the scarlet cigarette butt between her lips.
Cheng Yuan smoked one cigarette after another. When both cigarettes were extinguished, she gathered her long hair and walked to the study room with an expressionless face. Then she took out a thick stack of documents from the bottom cabinet.
All the documents were wrapped in brown paper and well preserved. They were not moldy and had a smell of age that belonged to paper that had been stored for many years.
However, probably because it had not been taken out for a long time, a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the paper bag.
Cheng Yuan blew the ashes away, and the flying dust made her cough several times.
She casually opened a brown paper bag and pulled out the information inside.
The title of the top document was printed with four large characters: "Injury Report."
The line below contains the patient's personal information.
Name: Cheng Yuan Gender: Female Age: 16
Diagnosis: contusions on both cheeks, contusion on the back of the head, contusion on the inner side of the right thigh, large area of subcutaneous hemorrhage on the outer side of the left thigh...
Diagnostic suggestion: Multiple leg injuries and suspected fractures, it is recommended to cooperate with clinical treatment.
Looking at the injury report in front of her, Cheng Yuan was suddenly brought back to eight years ago, the days when she could never see the light of day.
At the beginning, Cheng Li was indeed a responsible father and husband in front of his family, except for his bad temper.
He supported Cheng Yuan in learning ballet, and did not laugh at Cheng Zhi's poor academic performance. He also treated Qin Yuan with care and would go to Qin Yuan's company to give her an umbrella on rainy days.
If things continue to develop like this, the four of them should be considered a happy family.
However, all this, once Cheng Li became addicted to gambling, all the good things were destroyed in one night.
For the first time, Cheng Yuan realized that her usually gentle and kind father could actually have such a vicious side.
The next day, Cheng Yuan lay on the hospital bed in despair, looking at the unfamiliar ceiling.
In my ears I could hear the doctor talking to Qin Yuan who was crying.
"Your daughter's right thigh is fractured, and there are many other signs of injury in other parts of her legs. It is recommended that she avoid strenuous exercise, such as dancing and running. It is better to do less in the future."
Qin Yuan's voice was filled with deep sorrow. "Doctor...will my daughter still be able to dance ballet in the future?"
The doctor paused and gently reminded: "The injury is a bit serious... I suggest you jump less."
Cheng Yuan was lying on the sickbed, so desperate that even her cries were muted in her throat. She could only shed tears silently on the sickbed.
Because her dream since childhood was to become an excellent ballet dancer.
Cheng Yuan always felt that Cheng Li was a very despicable person.
It was Cheng Li who personally sent Cheng Yuan to the ballet class and unconditionally supported her dream.
Then, when Cheng Yuan finally saw hope, Cheng Li used the hand that supported her dream to tear Cheng Yuan's dream into pieces with his own hands.
She could have also stood on the stage and sparkled.
When some not-so-pleasant memories are awakened again, they will come back with the clarity of despair and collapse from many years ago.
In order to calm herself down, Cheng Yuan took a deep breath.
She took out her cell phone from her pocket, took a photo of the information and sent it to Cheng Zhi.
"This is the medical report that my mother took me to the hospital to get in order to sue him. I don't have your information now. But I have a photo of your injuries on my phone..."
After saying that, Cheng Yuan took out two photos from the album and sent them to Cheng Zhi.
One was a photo of the arms. The two fair arms, which were a little thinner than Cheng Zhi's current ones, were covered with marks of being whipped. There were also several broken places, and scarlet blood oozed from the wounds, which looked shocking.
The other is a side profile photo, which is similar to Cheng Zhi's current side profile, but looks a little more childish, with clear red and swollen marks. It is obvious that he was slapped, and the blood at the corner of his mouth shows that the slap was not light.
Cheng Zhi looked at the information and photos sent by Cheng Yuan and was silent for a long time.
Five minutes later, Cheng Yuan was the first to interrupt the silence.
"This is the proof of the injuries that Cheng Li suffered after domestic violence against us. I also have the court's verdict at the time. If you need it, I can provide it to you."
"With these, even if Cheng Li goes online and spreads the word that you are an ungrateful person, no one will believe him."
Cheng Zhi lowered his eyes, curled his fingers slightly, and slowly typed "OK" on the screen.
On the other side, Cheng Yuan took out all the information from the cabinet, trying to find some information that could help Cheng Zhi.
Cheng Li has almost ruined her life, so it doesn’t matter if it gets worse, Cheng Yuan thought.
But her brother Cheng Zhi is different. He still has a chance to seize, and he can still shine on the stage with his own efforts.
This time, Cheng Yuan will not give Cheng Li a second chance to destroy other people's dreams.
What's more, that person is her own brother.
"If there's anything else you need my help with, just tell me and I'll do my best."
"Okay, thank you."
When Cheng Zhi saw Cheng Yuan's unconditional support for him, he felt grateful and guilty.
The original owner would never come back. Now Cheng Zhi cannot empathize with Cheng Yuan and can only use his brother's name to get clues and support.
After this is over, after thanking Cheng Yuan properly, I will make it clear to her that I and her brother are not the same person.
Although it was cruel, Cheng Zhi had to do it.
After finishing chatting with Cheng Yuan, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.
After Cheng Zhi reorganized the information Cheng Yuan sent him and made sure there were no problems and the reasons were sufficient, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Zhi looked at the calendar and calculated the days.
The day I agreed to pay Cheng Li is tomorrow.
When the morning training started, Huo Shuhang squatted at the door of the practice room alone.
"I used to be a very confident person, but after being scolded by Teacher Song yesterday, I didn't even dare to enter the practice room today."
Cheng Zhi walked over and coughed twice above Huo Shuhang, "Move aside, you're blocking my way."
Huo Shuhang sighed and made way for Cheng Zhi to pass.
"Why do you act so relaxed?"
Before Cheng Zhi opened his mouth to answer his question, Huo Shuhang said indignantly, "Oh, I see! It's because Teacher Song scolded all four of us yesterday, except you! Not only did he not scold you, he even praised you!"
Cheng Zhi ignored Huo Shuhang. He shook the cup of water in his hand and walked straight into the practice room.
"Is this the special treatment for the first place? Damn it, I don't accept it..."
Before Huo Shuhang could finish expressing his indignation, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.
"Have you practiced your dance well? What are you doing squatting here?"
Huo Shuhang felt a chill down his spine when he heard the voice, and he stood up immediately. He turned around and met the gaze of Song Baiyi who was standing behind him.
Song Baiyi's eyes were colder today than usual. Huo Shuhang felt his body stiffen and his tongue could hardly move straight when he spoke.
Huo Shuhang pulled the corners of his mouth and managed to force a smile towards Song Baiyi.
"Mr. Song Song Song...Good morning."
Song Baiyi glanced at him coldly and said, "Go in and train."
During the four hours of training this morning, Song Baiyi felt particularly cold.
He and Tina sat together in the front of the classroom for the entire morning. Tina at least praised everyone for dancing well. But Song Baiyi didn't even give anyone an appreciative look.
In four hours, he said no more than five sentences in total, and four of the five sentences were related to Cheng Zhi's dance moves.
After the training time was over, the other four people were still feeling scared.
"Why do I feel that Mr. Song is scarier when he's silent than when he's speaking?"
"Today's atmosphere is too depressing. I might as well let him scold me. That way I'll feel better."
Cheng Zhi didn't respond to his teammates and was silently packing up to go for lunch.
He had just packed up and was about to leave when he looked up and found that there were only Song Baiyi and him in the practice room.
Cheng Zhi smiled at Song Baiyi guiltily and was about to leave when he suddenly saw Song Baiyi stand up and walk towards him.
Cheng Zhi was startled and just took a step forward. Then he saw Song Baiyi's action and was stunned.
Song Baiyi walked over and turned off all the cameras that were recording.
Then, after turning off the switch of the last camera, he raised his hand to block Cheng Zhi's way and pushed him against the wall.
The distance between the two people was shortened. Cheng Zhi could smell the unique fragrance on Song Baiyi's body, and could also feel the emotion of "I am very unhappy now" emanating from Song Baiyi from the inside out.
Cheng Zhi subconsciously stepped back, and his back hit the cold wall, which made him shudder.
Realizing that he had no way out, Cheng Zhi carefully lowered his tone and asked, "What's wrong, Teacher Song?"
Song Baiyi stared at Cheng Zhi expressionlessly, then he raised his eyelids and spoke calmly.
"You're avoiding me."
