C12 (2/2)

The one called Aunt Ling smiled warmly at Xu Chencan and said, ”Madam, hello. I'm the housekeeper. Please follow me.”

”Aunt Ling. ”You can just call me Chencan.” This was the second time Xu Chencan had corrected the way people addressed him today.

Aunt Ling smiled and nodded. ”Alright. ChenCan, please follow me.”

Her gentleness made Xu Chencan feel at ease. Following Aunt Ling's footsteps, he started to familiarize himself with the huge house.

On the second floor, Chu Lingyu stared at her figure for a while before returning to her study.

After so many years, her appearance didn't seem to have changed much.

He opened the drawer and took out an album. In the middle was a photo.

It was a photo of Chu Lingyu's schoolmates from high school.

In the photo, the students were standing in a row, smiling as they looked at the camera.

Beside the photo, there was a cute figure who did not belong in their class.

It was Xu Chencan, the one who had been caught passing by.

At that time, she wore a beautiful ponytail and wore a school dress. Her youth was overflowing with vigor and her beauty was moving.

Chu Lingyu still remembered that when he first met her, it was at the opening ceremony. She had come up to speak as the student's representative.

Chu Lingyu had seen many beautiful girls. Some relied on their beauty and were very proud. Some had fake appearances, and were all just embroidery pillows.

Only Xu Chencan was the most special one.

In school, she was not a school beauty, but the aura around her raised her beauty by several levels.

She was lively, studious and diligent.

And one of the most fascinating qualities about her was that she was beautiful without knowing it.

When she was still in middle school, there were many outstanding boys chasing after Xu Chencan. She rejected them all, her reasons surprisingly the same: Sorry, I'm not good enough for you.

Once, Chu Lingyu had thought that she was secretly mocking him.

Only later did he see from her eyes that she was actually saying this from the bottom of her heart.

At that time, Chu Lingyu didn't understand where this inferiority complex came from.

Until one day, he had accidentally acquired Xu Chencan's social network account. The two of them chatted online, and when they found out that they shared the same interests as each other, they quickly became friends that could speak for themselves.

At that time, Xu Chencan would tell Chu Lingyu about what he had experienced every day.

She treated Chu Lingyu as her best friend.

While listening, Chu Lingyu gradually learned the truth about Xu Chencan's inferiority complex.

It turned out that when Xu Chencan was five years old, her mother had abandoned her and run away with another man.

From then on, she went from being the apple of her father's eye to being a thorn in the side.

Later, the father married another, the beautiful young stepmother gave birth to a sister.

She seemed to have become a superfluous existence in this family.
