Shi Yao stood at the door and stared in the direction of the master bedroom, her fingers tightly gripping the handle of her luggage.
She didn't hear what her parents were arguing about, but she knew that they seemed to have gotten into a fight, and something seemed to have fallen to the ground, producing a sharp shattering sound.
Shi Yao silently pursed her lips, and as if she had never returned home, she gently closed the door, pulled her luggage, and entered the elevator.
After leaving the neighborhood, Shi Yao randomly chose a direction and began walking aimlessly with her suitcase in tow. She had no idea how long she had been walking, and she had no idea where she was going either. It was only when she was so exhausted that she could no longer move that she finally stopped.
By this time, the sky had already darkened, and the streetlights by the side of the street lit up one after another.
Shi Yao stood by the side of the road, looking at the cars passing by, and she suddenly felt a little lost.
She felt as if everything that she had just heard was just a nightmare.
But no matter how much she tried to avoid it or how much she didn't want to face it, she couldn't help but realize that the harmonious family and doting atmosphere that she had always thought of was just an illusion.
What was she to them? A tool that would allow her to soar to the top?
If not for the betrothal ceremony that her grandfather had arranged for her, wouldn't she have already lost her father six years ago? Wouldn't she have lost her so-called family?
She had always thought that her engagement with Lin Jiage was a result of her grandfather's generation being sentimental and righteous. But today, her parents' argument made her realize that things weren't as simple as she had thought …
The Lin Family really did treat her well. Be it Grandpa Lin, Lin Jiage's parents, Lin Jiage's aunt and uncle, Sis Jiayi, or even the Lin Family's servants and chauffeur, they treated her so well that she felt that they treated her even better than her own parents. It was precisely because they treated her so well that she couldn't accept the kindness that they had given her with a clear conscience. She had to remember that she had to return it to them …
But what about her parents? They actually took away a million yuan from the Lin Family without any qualms … She did have an engagement with Lin Jiage, but that was just an engagement. She wasn't married to Lin Jiage, so the money didn't belong to her. Even if she was married to Lin Jiage, she shouldn't have spent the Lin Family's money like that …
Shi Yao couldn't tell whether she was mentally exhausted or physically exhausted. She slowly squatted down and buried her head in her knees.
To be honest, she could not accept the truth …
The scene that she had accidentally stumbled into in the afternoon had not only overturned her understanding of the family, it had also made her feel as if there was a rock pressing down on her heart. Thinking about the Lin family made her feel heavy. What made her even more upset was that her parents really loved her. Or did they ever have a daughter in their hearts? What was she to them? Money tree? Welfare lottery?
Shi Yao squatted on the road for a long time before she finally got up and dragged her suitcase to the nearest subway station to return to school.
Leng Nuan, Jiang Yue, and He Tiantian were all in the dormitory, and upon seeing her return, they immediately pestered her for gossip.
Jiang Yue said, "Yaoyao, tell me, what did you and Senior Lin do in Chengdu?"
He Tiantian: "Yaoyao, how far are you with Senior Lin?"
Leng Nuan: "Yaoyao, will we be able to eat wedding candies soon?"
From start to end, Shi Yao didn't say a word. She found a random spot to place her luggage before grabbing her towel and pajamas. After saying "I'm going to take a bath", she walked into the bathroom.
