Chapter 3 Goodbye Sister
I personally drove my sister away.
Although I have my own difficulties, why am I not among the people who pushed my sister to this dead end?
I have always been confident that I can be the last straw for my sister.
She has always been very dependent on me. After dementia, she could hardly speak to others. She only said to me and even remembered that I was her brother. She gave me all the good things and the only good things left, no matter what I did to her.
She doesn't care about anything.
It was this brother whom she regarded as everything, who personally drove her out of the house.
But I have no regrets. Instead of believing in my father and stepmother, I would rather bet on a miracle. That day I was beaten severely by my father and stepmother, but in the end I did not let go and refused to admit that I had seen my sister.
I said my sister couldn't stand your coercion and ran away from the house.
My stepmother didn't believe it and said she would kick me out of the house. My father was afraid. His back injury recurred that year and he was worried that no one would care for them in the future, so he reluctantly kept me.
But from that day on, I concentrated on studying and stayed as far away from home as possible. I wanted to rely on my own efforts to get out of that small place and change my destiny.
But it failed in the end and I failed the college entrance examination.
My father strongly urged me to repeat the studies and take the exam again, but I firmly refused and came to the city to work.
Because the older I get, the more I feel the consequences of my cancerous childhood. Growing up in that environment, I can't catch up with others no matter how hard I try.
Whenever I think like this, I miss my sister even more. Where is she now? How is she doing?
I moved around in several places in the city. I distributed leaflets, worked in sales, worked as a bartender, moved around at construction sites, stayed overnight in a reservoir, and tutored children on their homework. In three years, I grew a lot. In the end
Finally, he was spotted by a nobleman in a luxurious villa and got a leisurely position as a security guard.
I actually don’t have much ability. These jobs have allowed me to exercise my physical fitness, become shrewd, changeable, and independent. I always protect myself so that I can always be active at the bottom of society.
But what really allows me to hang out here is actually "cowardice".
Over the years, I still remember hiding behind my sister during my childhood, and I still do the same in society.
Only by hiding behind others can I not be harmed. I live silently, saving all my strength, waiting for even the slightest chance to find my sister...
Taking advantage of my position, I searched all the death cases in the past seven years, but could not find a deceased person who matched my sister's identity. So I always believed that my sister must be living happily somewhere.
Until one day, I finally saw the person I hadn't seen for many years...the person I had longed for.
That day, a high-end cocktail party was held in the villa.
I was assigned as a security officer and was able to gain entry.
If I hadn't had this opportunity, I would have never been able to enter that kind of high-end cocktail party. There were many celebrities at the banquet, wearing black and white white dresses, and colorful cheongsams, and any sip of wine they poured out in their excitement would be worth the price.
It’s worth my month’s salary.
I am very familiar with this kind of work, being a dog. My sister and I have been just the "dogs" of the family since we were young.
In school too.
I served everyone humbly and was at my beck and call until I saw a woman in a dress with a pure white face among the crowd.
Her legs were slender and her fair skin was wrapped in black stockings, which made all the men in the cocktail party look sideways.
That is the goddess I once liked when I was in the third grade of junior high school - Liu Qiao.
The first time I saw Liu Qiao, I screamed inwardly, but Liu Qiao didn't shy away. Before I could avoid her sight, she shouted: "Ah! Isn't this Qin Zhou!?"
In full view of everyone, Liu Qiao kicked up her white skirt and ran toward me. I felt ashamed that she could attend such a high-end cocktail party, and I was still just a small security guard. This was different from that time many years ago.
The gap between us has widened a lot.
"Qin Zhou, why are you here?"
Liu Qiao is a cheerful and lively girl, and her face alone is enough to attract many men. After she spoke frankly, she may have noticed the uniform I was wearing and reacted.
"Oh...you work here? Come on, long time no see, come and have a drink with me?"
I avoided my eyes, frowned slightly, and responded in a low voice: "I'm sorry, our boss doesn't let me drink during working hours..."
"What did you say? I can't hear you clearly!"
There was an elegant violin playing faintly at the cocktail party. I was used to being humble and low-key, so Liu Qiao couldn't hear it clearly.
I paused, leaned over, and said in her ear: "If I drink, the boss will fire me. I'm so happy to see you! Let's make an appointment next time!"
I forced a smile and was about to leave, but Liu Qiao became a little unhappy.
"No, Qin Zhou, what do you mean? It's been so many years, and you're still avoiding me!?"
Liu Qiao's eyebrows quickly knitted together, and she "snorted" angrily.
"Shouldn't I avoid you?" I don't know where the courage came from. Looking at her previous attitude, I suddenly heard the contemptuous look she showed towards her sister at that time.
Over the years, I have missed my sister more and more. Looking back, I hate those people who treated my sister like this even more. They were the "culprits" who made me drive away my sister.
"Ha! Qin Zhou, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person! Zhang Hu is right. You just think it's my fault that your sister ran away from home, right? No wonder you deliberately avoided it after you entered high school.
I!"
Liu Qiao crossed her arms, her eyes as sharp as needles.
I was about to speak, hoping to vent the pent-up anger in my heart, when the sound of leather shoes came quietly.
There was a "pat pat pat" sound, and a middle-aged man in a white dress, wearing sunglasses, smoking a cigar, and proudly walked over.
You can hear the friction sound of the leather shoes on the oak floor, which is worth a lot of money. I have developed a strong eye over the years. All the clothes on the man are famous international brands. A low-key luxury in my hand
The Bentley car keys are even more daunting to me.
He came over and put his arm around Liu Qiao's shoulders.
"What's wrong? Baby, is it possible that someone made you unhappy!?"
His tone was very domineering. He took off his sunglasses and glared at me. I instantly felt guilty.
Liu Qiao's expression changed, and he smiled and said: "No, Brother Jiang. This is my junior high school classmate, named Qin Zhou. Qin Zhou, this is my old customer, Brother Jiang!"
Brother Jiang immediately pursed his lips and said to Liu Qiao in a very disgusting and playful manner: "Oh, you actually think that I am just your client? If you say that, I will be angry!"
At that moment, I almost vomited.
But I am also used to it. I have met too many rich people in these years. Especially the nouveau riche like us in small cities. They themselves have no quality and culture. After making some money, they immediately change their demeanor. In our case
In a small place, people are arrogant and domineering. That's just human nature.
However, before Liu Qiao could say anything, Brother Jiang reacted and looked at me.
"This boy is the poor boy you said you chased after you in the third grade of junior high school!? Looking at it this way, he has no merit except being young and handsome! How did a poor toad like you get into this drinking party?"
He walked over slowly, lifted my collar, and said with threats in his eyes, "What do you mean, it turns out he's just a stinky security guard. In that case, you're no threat to me, right? What do you think?"
I knew something was wrong, Liu Qiao seemed to be obsessed with this elder brother. And this elder brother obviously regarded me as an imaginary enemy, and I couldn't bear the loss.
I was about to say something to please him, but unexpectedly Liu Qiao came over, ripped off Brother Jiang's hand, and stood in front of me.
"Brother Jiang, please speak up if you have anything to say. I think Qin Zhou is doing well now. We are just fellow villagers who haven't seen each other for a long time..."
"Really? How can a waste like him compare to me?" Brother Jiang grunted, and then he held Liu Qiao in his arms. Liu Qiao was filled with disgust but did not dare to express it, and tried his best to signal to me for help.
I frowned slightly, save her?
This is really not cost-effective. I have never been a competitive person, I am just a coward. This is the only way for people like us to protect ourselves.
People kept coming around me. I turned my head and saw a familiar figure.
A young girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a long sky blue dress, light makeup and red lips, with a pure and gorgeous face. She has changed her appearance, but her eyes are like flowers and water, which I will never forget.
"...Xiaoya!"
