Chapter 5 Similarities
Zhou Shan's expression changed, and she slammed her hand on the table, standing up abruptly. "Rong Shu!"
Rong Shu ignored her and turned to leave.
Back at my workstation.
Rong Shu took out a small mirror and looked at the faint bloodstain on one side of her cheek. The mark was not deep, so she wiped it with a wet wipe. There was no need to clean it further. Anyway, with a face like this, one more scar wouldn't matter.
Then I thought of the girl's appearance; she looked somewhat familiar.
It's almost time to leave work.
Rong Shu received a call from her father; Pei Yu had returned and asked her to come home for dinner.
Rong Shu exclaimed with delight, "Brother Pei Yu is back! Wasn't he supposed to be back on the 15th?"
Mr. Rong said, "I came back early after finishing my work."
"Okay, I'll go home after get off work."
Rong Shu drove back to the Rong family home.
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...
The Rong family owns a large, single-level second-hand apartment in a mid-range residential complex in Xicheng District, which they purchased this year.
Rong Shu's father runs a medium-sized real estate company. Although they are not considered a wealthy family, they are well-off. Therefore, Rong Shu grew up in a wealthy environment.
However, the real estate industry is currently in a slump. More than half a year ago, the company suffered serious financial problems due to investment failures and was on the verge of bankruptcy. When Rong's father learned that she was pregnant with Sheng Tingchen's child, he did not force her to go to his house to demand an explanation.
Seeing her father growing old and haggard, to the point where they had to sell their possessions to pay off debts, Rong Shu finally made up her mind to go to the Sheng family. At that time, she actually had her own selfish motives, not only for her father but also for herself.
Although she got what she wanted, the Rong family paid off their debts thanks to a large dowry from the Sheng family.
But she paid the price for it.
Therefore, the suffering she is experiencing now is entirely her own fault, and she has no one to blame but herself.
Back at the Rong family home.
Pei Lanhua came out of the kitchen. "Xiao Shu, you're back."
When she was nine years old, her mother and father divorced. Her mother took her brother and left her behind.
Later, Pei Lanhua met her father, but the two never got married and lived together as a couple.
At first, Rong Shu did not accept her and even hated her, but gradually Rong Shu felt her kindness. Pei Yu also treated her very well. After losing her brother, she had a new brother.
"Aunt Pei, where are my dad and the others?"
"They should be on their way, they'll be back soon. You should rest for a bit."
"Okay, sure."
"..."
Rong Shu returned to her room. Even though she was married, her father had always kept a bedroom for her, which he had redecorated according to her preferred style.
Returning to my own home, all the fatigue and grievances vanished in an instant.
She sat on the edge of the bed and saw the photo album on the bedside table. She reached out, picked it up, and opened it. The first photo was a tattered family portrait.
The photos are quite old.
She was only eight years old that year.
Her young and handsome father held her in his arms. Standing next to him was her older brother, who was 14 years old that year, and on the other side was her mother.
She tore up the photo herself.
Because she hated her mother for abandoning her and her father with her brother, as time passed, that tearing pain no longer exists.
She turned to the next page.
The photo shows a beautiful teenage girl in a white dress and a light brown woven square hat standing under a golden ginkgo tree, with the sunlight falling perfectly on her radiant smile.
She had long, jet-black hair, a small oval face, and bright, beautiful features, as lovely as the moon. Her eyes, in particular, shone like the stars in the sky.
However, she later fell seriously ill and took hormone medication, which caused her to gradually become obese. No matter how she tried to lose weight, it was no use. She could only maintain her weight by starving herself and exercising.
Rong Shu suddenly thought of the girl today. Her facial features were somewhat similar to hers in the photo, especially her eyes.
