Su Wan was a little nervous. Although this was not the first time she had done such a thing, she had no idea what to do.
Last time, she saw with her own eyes Xu Mengliang throwing the child into the Moon River. She knew that the child would never come back, so she was sure to keep him.
But this time, everything is unknown.
Her understanding of the wealthy businessman was limited to a few words and phrases.
For example, she deliberately made this red rope look old, but she didn’t know if it would be noticeable.
But Su Wan had to give it a try. This morning she left home trembling with fear, for fear of running into Xu Mengliang.
She couldn't stand this kind of terrifying life anymore, so she completely broke away from Xu Mengliang and had no choice but to follow the rich businessman.
She swallowed and went over everything that might happen in her mind to make sure everything was safe before entering the office.
She saw a pair of black leather shoes at the door of another room and knew that the rich businessman should be there.
"Principal, is there something you want me to do?"
"Don't be afraid, it's nothing." Yang Zhenhua said gently, "I heard you have a red rope, can you show it to me?"
Su Wan nervously took off the red rope.
Yang Zhenhua took it and compared it with the one in his hand. He frowned and said, "When did you make this red rope?"
It looks a bit new!
Su Wan said vaguely, "I don't know. There was one before, but it was too old, so I wanted to make one based on that."
"Where is the old one?" Yang Zhenhua asked again.
"I don't know, it may be at home, or it may have been lost." Su Wan replied.
"Su Wan, how old were you when you were adopted by the Su family?" Yang Zhenhua asked again.
"Eight years old." Su Wan didn't know why he asked these questions, but Yang Zhenhua was so familiar with Grandpa that he could get the basic information.
"Eight years old, that's appropriate." Yang Zhenhua muttered, but Su Wan still heard it, and Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Zhenhua asked again, "So you don't remember anything about your childhood?"
"Well, I don't remember." Su Wan said, "Maybe I had an accident and I have lost all my memory before that."
Yang Zhenhua heard about this from Su Zhengguo. When Su Wan found out that she had made a mistake, the little girl didn't remember anything. Plus Cheng Ya was soft-hearted, so she kept Su Wan by her side.
"Okay, go back and look for the old red rope first." Yang Zhenhua said.
Su Wan didn't even see the rich businessman. She frowned slightly, but didn't say anything and quietly walked out.
After Su Wanyi left, the wealthy businessman Li Xintao walked out. He picked up the red string and said, "It looks like the real thing, but it's missing something important. This red string was made for my daughter because she had a fever. I asked someone to make a bracelet for her. It has fishbone knots on it that can ward off evil spirits."
Li Xintao sighed and said, "But my daughter was indeed lost when she was eight years old. It's been so long that I don't even remember what she looked like."
"There's no way, the child has lost his memory, otherwise he might still remember you." Yang Zhenhua said.
"Amnesia?" Li Xintao's face lit up and he said, "I wish she was my daughter. Could you let me know more about her?"
The two of them were talking and didn't notice Su Wan standing outside. Su Wan frowned and left carefully. Fishbone... she seemed to have seen this bracelet somewhere before.
Su Wan was walking towards the classroom, and because she was too distracted, she didn't notice Zheng Shuyi coming out. The two bumped into each other. Zheng Shuyi was half a head taller than Su Wan. She glared at Su Wan and said in a cold voice: "Don't you have eyes?"
"I'm sorry." Su Wan didn't dare to offend her and apologized repeatedly.
Zheng Shuyi snorted and walked away.
At this time, Zhang Fang came to Su Wan and said, "Look at her expression. She is obviously jealous of you for being a rich man. That's why she is so weird."
"That's right, she has conjunctivitis! Don't pay attention to her!" another classmate also said.
"Where did Wen Ting go?" Su Wan asked without looking at her.
"She went to the restroom. I haven't seen her for a while!" Zhang Fang said.
Su Wan went out to look for Wen Ting. When passing by the trees outside the window, she found a red rope on a branch. It was very old, especially with the fishbone knot that Li Xintao mentioned.
She quickly walked over to pick up the red rope and put it in her pocket. She looked around and her eyes met Zheng Shuyi's.
Su Wan's mind went blank, and she felt as if Zheng Shuyi was looking at her like a clown. Her heartbeat quickened, and she turned around and trotted away.
Zheng Shuyi raised the corners of his mouth in mockery.
"Classmate, how do we get to the first grade class?" wealthy businessman Li Xintao came over and asked.
Zheng Shuyi's eyes fell on Li Xintao's old face, and his thoughts drifted far away.
——
Ten years ago, Li Xintao was a nobody and his family was very poor. There was nothing in the house, not even a decent piece of furniture.
Xiao Shuyi squatted on the ground. There was no hot water that day, so she washed the clothes by herself. I heard that her mother couldn't do any heavy work because she was pregnant with her younger brother.
"You little girl, I'm hungry. Go make me something to eat." Li Xintao walked in and stared at Xiao Shuyi fiercely.
"I'll go after I finish washing the clothes." Xiao Shuyi replied.
Li Xintao was angry outside and had no place to vent his anger. Suddenly, he kicked the washing basin over. Water spilled all over the floor, and the washed clothes also fell to the ground.
Xiao Shuyi stared at him. She didn't understand why other fathers would smile when they saw their children, but her own father would just yell at her every time he saw her.
"You still dare to glare at me?" Li Xintao picked up the pliers and hit Xiao Shuyi's calf with it. "Do you know you're wrong, you little girl?"
"I'm not wrong, it was you who knocked over the basin." Xiao Shuyi said stubbornly.
Seeing that she refused to admit her fault, Li Xintao beat her even harder. Xiao Shuyi gritted her teeth, her calves were torn, and she didn't even say a word to beg for mercy.
Li Xintao was also furious. He slapped Xiao Shuyi on the face, grabbed her hair, pinched her face, and asked viciously: "You damn girl, do you know you are wrong?"
Blood oozed from the corners of Xiao Shuyi's mouth. She said stubbornly, "I'm not wrong!"
Li Xintao was completely enraged, and he lifted up Xiao Shuyi and threw her to the ground. Xiao Shuyi fainted completely, and when she woke up she felt very cold.
Her consciousness was hazy, and she saw shovels of dirt falling from above her, with half of her body already buried in the dirt.
Who wanted to bury her?
Little Shuyi was overwhelmed with fear. She wanted to open her mouth to call for help, but her face was gradually covered by the dirt.
"save……"
She couldn't make a sound, and her hands were grasping helplessly, but she couldn't hold anything.
At this moment, that face came over. Xiao Shuyi stared, unable to believe what she was seeing.
Li Xintao pressed it down with a shovel, and out of guilt he threw a few shovels of dirt on Xiao Shuyi's face.
"Damn it, you're eating all that food from my house for nothing!"
"It's just your bad luck. Choose a better family in your life."
