Chapter 252 (1/2)
There are countless people in this world. Everyone is doing different things. Some people are worried, some people are laughing, some places are barren and cold, and it is difficult for children to have a mouthful of food to live, while some places are full of wine and meat, singing and dancing. Some people are for themselves
I feel happy that my problems have been solved, but some are deeply in trouble. But the world is also wonderful. Being poor doesn't mean you're unhappy. On the contrary, those who own villas and luxury houses don't have everything going well.
In a high-end villa in the suburbs of Shanghai stock market, a girl with big wavy curly hair and warm eyes opened her mouth in surprise, as if she couldn't believe everything in front of her.
”Dad, you, you're lying to me.” The girl inquired carefully like her father. She was afraid that she was in a dream now.
”Mengmeng, you have grown up now. Shouldn't you share your worries and solve problems for your parents?”
”Oh, Mengmeng, we don't want you to go for such things, but your father is so hard in business. You should be considerate of him.” A woman with a nostalgic bun of the period of the Republic of China echoed.
”But you can't...”
The gentle girl was eager to explain something, but the dishes and chopsticks on one side were suddenly slammed on the table and interrupted her words.
The girl with rebellious clothes and heavy makeup squinted at her eyes and said coldly, ”sister, you haven't made any contribution at home for so many years. Do you think you don't need us now that you go to college?”
Xue Mengmeng looked at his disdainful sister and suddenly spread an uncontrollable sadness in his heart.
From the day Xue Meimei was born, she felt that her parents seemed to change someone overnight. Although she took good care of herself, it was completely different from her feelings for her sister.
Every time she looked at her beloved sister held in her arms by her parents at the crack of the door, her heart would be filled with endless envy.
At that time, the children in the class once said to her, ”adults are like this. They like very young children. I have a brother above me. My parents dote on me rather than my brother. Sometimes they are very cruel to my brother, or I go to wipe my brother's tears.”
Xue Mengmeng slowly accepted this explanation and looked at his sister who was lying in bed with only a ball of meat. Xue Mengmeng liked it very much. So she used this excuse again and again. Every time she encountered unfair treatment, she would take it out and think about it to paralyze herself.
She just graduated from college this year. She thought a beautiful life would unfold in front of her.
However, her parents didn't let her enter the company. Instead, they let her stay at home and rest for a while. Today, they put forward a request for her that she never dreamed of.
Her father told her to take the initiative to approach a man?
How could this be what biological parents said to their daughter!
Facing a wide range of delicious meals, Xue Mengmeng only felt that her world had changed. She must be dreaming to hear such absurd remarks!
When he got up and wanted to leave the table, Xue Mengmeng only had to go to sleep. When he woke up, he would find that all this was false and his imagination.
Seeing Xue Mengmeng stand up to go, Xue Zhentian slapped the table hard and shouted angrily, ”where are you going?”
The tableware on the table shook violently, and the hot soup in the small bowl spilled on Xue Mengmeng. However, Xue Mengmeng didn't even care about his scalded self.
”It hurts. It hurts. I'm not dreaming?”
Xue Mengmeng turned and stood stunned, as if he had been scared silly.
Xue Meimei, dressed up as a little sister, put her purple hair behind her head, disdained her lips and said in a strange way, ”hum, sister, you've been hiding behind whenever you have something since childhood. Don't you want to go like that more than ten years ago and let me hold it for you?”
”Meimei, I...”
”You what you, I think you are!”
Xue Meimei turned her head in disdain. The picture ten years ago appeared in Xue Mengmeng's mind again.
When Xue Meimei was six years old, her parents went out and were busy making money. There were only two children left at home.
At that time, Xue Meimei, like all children, had a natural dependence on her brothers and sisters and liked to be with her no matter what she did.
Originally, her parents were not at home. She should stay at home and coax her sister. But children are naturally fond of playing. A large park has been built nearby. Although it is not officially open, many people like to play inside, especially the children nearby.
Xue Mengmeng gritted his teeth and finally decided to take his sister for a stroll.
The two of them played in a crowded place for a while, and Xue Meimei also had a good time. Gradually she let go of her guard.
After a while, they keenly found that there was a squirrel sitting in a small tree not far away, holding a pine nut and gnawing around, which was particularly cute.
Out of love, the two children all got up and chased, so they ran into the small tree forest that had not yet opened.
In the woods, Xue Mengmeng and Xue Mengmeng experienced a nightmare that they couldn't forget in their life - after they walked over, the squirrel didn't find it, but found a big dog with red eyes squatting in front of them!
The dog was curled up in fur and huge. A pair of eyes the size of a copper bell stared at the two of them and immediately scared the two children silly.
Xue Mengmeng didn't dare to move. Although she was young, she heard that the more she ran, the more the dog chased after her. Just bend down and pick up the stone and throw it twice.
However, as she squatted down to pick up stones, Xue Meimei, who was not yet sensible, burst into tears behind her.
The black giant dog was immediately angered and ran towards them, with a fierce cry in his mouth. Xue Mengmeng couldn't think of anything else. She grabbed her sister behind her and ran away. However, Xue Meimei, six, had long been frightened. She took one step and fell to the ground.
Seeing that the huge shadow was getting closer and closer to him, Xue Mengmeng was forced to let go of his sister's hand and ran forward crying.
Six year old Xue Meimei left a big scar on her face and was bitten in many places. Finally, she was carried to the ambulance.
From that day on, Xue Mengmeng always felt sorry for her sister. She would try her best to be satisfied with what Xue Meimei asked her to do.
However, although his parents forgive him, they have arranged for her to live as a boarder since then.
She has been living in the school dormitory since junior high school. When she came home in the winter and summer vacation, Xue Meimei's attitude towards her had already turned 180 degrees.
Every time Xue Mengmeng is at home, she feels her sister touching the scar on her body and looking at her with cold eyes.
So Xue Mengmeng went to college and deliberately chose a city far away from home. For four years, she only went home twice during the new year.
She didn't come back by plane until her mother called her after graduating from college. Anyway, people want to be around their parents.
For so many years, she has lived in this home with great care, so that she can see that her parents can forgive her and return to her former warm appearance.
However, hearing his father's absurd request, Xue Mengmeng suddenly realized in despair. Maybe she can never get what she wants.
For Xue Meimei, she had eleven thousand apologies in her heart, but she never had a chance to say it.
Xue Meimei has had several cosmetic operations on the scar on her right cheek, but the doctor said that the scar has existed for too long, and it has grown bigger and bigger with the development of the body, so the operation is difficult to eradicate.
Although the marks on Xue Meimei's face are no longer so obvious, her inferiority is still obvious. It has become the appearance of a rebellious girl now, which is inseparable from these scars.
