A torrential rain suddenly struck the capital. The sorrow of the heavens turned into rain that filled the sky, and then flowed into the sea, almost drowning the entire capital. The capital was covered in water.
At the entrance of the Capital Building, a group of white-collar workers who had just gotten off work looked at the torrential rain outside. Some of them could only return to the company and wait for the rain to stop, while many others stood at the entrance and waited. Even if some of them had cars, they didn't dare to drive home in such a heavy rain.
Ning Jie, who had just gotten off work, walked to the entrance of the building and calmly opened her umbrella. Under everyone's strange gazes, she walked into the rain.
When she first went to work in the morning, many people in the company made fun of her when they saw her holding an umbrella. However, when they just got off work, almost everyone in the company was admiring her foresight. Du Qing, who had always disliked her, said in a seemingly positive tone, "Ning Jie, your legs are really more accurate than the weather forecast!"
Ning Jie's legs were indeed more accurate than the weather forecast. This leg was her left leg, and every time it rained, her left leg would be sore and unbearable. As for the reason, Ning Jie didn't know, so she could only attribute it to the aftereffects of polio. Even though she had checked the internet a few times, she had never heard of polio having such aftereffects.
Many times, Ning Jie felt that her life was like a big tea table filled with cups. When she was young, strictly speaking, before she was four years old, she was beautiful and loved by everyone. At that time, she already understood some things, and her greatest wish was to grow up to be a beauty.
At that time, Ning Jie was only four years old, and she had already learned one thing from some adults and TV, and that was that being a beauty was a very comfortable thing. When she grew up, she didn't need to do anything, she could just eat whatever she wanted and buy whatever she wanted. Of course, at that time, Ning Jie only wanted to satisfy the first requirement, and that was to eat whatever she wanted. In order to satisfy this requirement, she had the desire to be a beauty.
Originally, with Ning Jie's conditions at the time, as long as she grew up normally, it wouldn't be difficult for her to be a beauty. Her mother was a famous beauty in the village at the time, and she looked very similar to her mother. Not to mention that she was better than her mother, as long as she was as beautiful as her mother, it would be fine.
Unfortunately, when Ning Jie was four years old, she contracted polio. In the end, she was cured, but there were repercussions. Her two legs, one long and one short, limped, and her left leg couldn't withstand much strength. In other words, she became a cripple.
Ning Jie, whose legs were not the same length, couldn't be a beauty anymore, so she decided to be a talented girl. Before the age of ten, this wish of hers didn't seem that difficult to fulfill. Her academic results had always been good, and she also had a good talent in drawing. She had won some awards.
But one day, when she was ten years old, her eyes hurt. She took some eye drops, but after a few days, it still didn't work. Instead, it got worse and worse, and she went to the hospital.
Ning Jie could no longer remember how the doctor treated her eyes. She only knew that from then on, her eyesight dropped sharply until it was about 0.1 before it finally stopped. From then on, she had a pair of thick black-rimmed glasses on her face, and even so, it was still difficult for her to see the words on the blackboard in the first row of the classroom.
The sharp decline in her eyesight had seriously affected Ning Jie's studies. She realized that being a talented girl wasn't that realistic anymore. What she was most suitable to be was an unlucky girl.
However, Ning Jie was a little unwilling. She still tried her best to continue being a talented girl. One day, she would be able to be a rich girl.
In the next ten years, Ning Jie studied very hard. In the end, she was admitted to Peking University, but it wasn't the major she wanted. Instead, she was transferred to the journalism department.
When a person with bad legs and high myopia went to study journalism, the results could be imagined. When she graduated, there was no unit that was willing to hire her. In this day and age, news had to be snatched. How could a person with bad legs and blurred eyes expect her to snatch any news? Thus, the profession of reporter was not fated with Ning Jie.
Fortunately, this time, Ning Jie was prepared a few years ago. She started to teach herself fashion design in her freshman year, and perhaps because of her talent in drawing when she was young, she also had quite a bit of talent in fashion design. After graduating from university, she couldn't find a job with a diploma from Peking University's journalism department, but she became a fashion designer.
Although the company she worked for wasn't big, the boss thought highly of her and her salary wasn't bad. Although this was still far from her goal of being a rich girl, she at least saw some hope.
Unfortunately, her right leg was three centimeters longer than her left leg. If her two legs appeared in the eyes of others, everyone would definitely think that they were beautiful, but if they were compared together, people would find that not only were their legs different in length, but even their sizes were different. Because of this, Ning Jie didn't dare to wear a short skirt, even when it was the hottest, she wore trousers.
As she walked, Ning Jie suddenly tripped over something soft. She fell forward and almost fell to the ground. Just as she was about to turn around to see what had tripped her, someone suddenly rushed towards her and pulled out a shining dagger. "Stop, robbery! Take out your wallet!
"" What? "Ning Jie was stunned. Robbery? Someone actually came to rob in such a heavy rain?
Ning Jie didn't quite believe that there was such a dedicated robber, so she thought she had heard wrongly. How could someone come to rob at such a time?
"I said robbery!" The robber was angry. "Is there something wrong with your ears? Hurry up and take out your wallet for laozi. I only want cash, not credit cards!
Although Ning Jie's eyes weren't good, her ears were fine. This time, she confirmed that it was really a robbery!
"Hey, it's raining heavily, why are you still robbing?" Ning Jie subconsciously reached for her wallet and asked with dissatisfaction, "You're taking advantage of the situation …" No, it's taking advantage of the rain. Isn't that too outrageous? "
"What does the rain have to do with me? Is it raining and you're not going to eat? "The robber glared at Ning Jie," The sky is going to rain, the mother is going to get married, I want to eat! "
Ning Jie took out her wallet and took out two bills. "Hey, I only have two hundred dollars. Take it!"
The robber took the money and snatched Ning Jie's wallet. He flipped through it and looked at Ning Jie with dissatisfaction. "I say, why are you so poor? Do you have the nerve to take two hundred dollars out with you?
