Ever since Huangfu Hongzhu discovered Tian Cao, he has fallen in love with Tian Cao. Not only did he take Tian Cao as his apprentice, he also worked harder to cultivate Tian Cao than Chu Wentian trained her, and privately treated Tian Cao like a younger sister.
, always thinking about Tiancao.
Because he felt sorry for Tian Cao and lived in the dark and damp low-rent house with his aunt Tian at that time, Huangfu Hongzhu wanted to give Tian Cao an apartment, but Tian Cao refused. In desperation, Huangfu Hongzhu had to help Tian Cao pay the down payment first.
, Tian Cao will repay the loan herself, and according to Tian Cao's words, the down payment will be returned to her after the loan is repaid.
Since the holiday, Tian Cao did not enjoy the rare holiday life like other children, but started a new internship life on the second day of the holiday.
In the past twenty days, in addition to interning at Aoxiang Group and going to Huangfu Hongzhu to learn various etiquette and upper-class social culture, she would go home on time every day to accompany Aunt Tian.
This day is the same.
After Tian Cao returned home in the afternoon, she had dinner with Aunt Tian, and then she lay on the sofa, resting her head on Aunt Tian's thigh, and watched TV with Aunt Tian.
only--
Although her eyes were looking at the TV screen, her mind was not on the TV.
"Xiaocao, it's getting late, go to bed." Seeing the end of the TV series, Aunt Tian withdrew her gaze, looked down at Tiancao who was in a daze in her arms, and said softly.
Tian Cao didn't answer, as if he didn't hear Aunt Tian's words.
Seeing this, Aunt Tian couldn't help but sigh secretly.
In her memory, Tian Cao had a smile on his face every day since a few days ago, but...as Tian Cao's mother, she could tell that Tian Cao had something on his mind.
When she saw this, she didn't ask, because... she knew that Tian Cao had been a strong and strong child since he was a child, and he would only keep it in his heart and would not say anything.
"Xiaocao..."
Aunt Tian called out again. While calling, she reached out her hand and stroked Tian Cao's head lovingly.
Under the light, Tian Cao's hair was as neat as when Chen Fan met her for the first time. The proud ponytail still lay quietly on her shoulders. The only change was that the length had grown a lot.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
This time, Tian Cao recovered from his distraction and immediately put on a clean smile.
This has become her habit. Whether it was before or after she met Chen Fan, every time she faced Aunt Tian, she would put on the cleanest smile, as if she was telling Aunt Tian that she
She is not miserable, she is not tired, she is very happy.
Seeing the smile on Tian Cao's face, Aunt Tian didn't know why, but she felt a dull pain in her heart. She just heard her whisper: "It's getting late. You have to go to internship tomorrow morning, so go to bed early."
"It's okay, Mom, I'm not sleepy yet. I'll sleep with you later." Tian Cao smiled and shook his head, deliberately rubbing against Aunt Tian's body, seeming to be coquettish in this way.
After hearing what Tian Cao said, Aunt Tian hesitated and couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Cao, are you in any trouble?"
trouble?
Hearing these two words in his ears, Tian Cao was shocked, but he quickly shook his head: "No, Mom, I didn't encounter any trouble."
"Xiaocao, your mother watched you grow up. She knows your temper. She knows that no matter what trouble you encounter, you don't want to tell her. You are afraid that your mother will worry about you." Aunt Tian sighed: "Actually...
Mom thinks it's better for you to speak out. Although Mom doesn't have much knowledge because she hasn't gone to school much, she can always help you come up with ideas."
Aunt Tian's gentle words fell into Tian Cao's ears, which made Tian Cao's delicate body tremble slightly.
She has had no father since the day she was born, and was raised by Aunt Tian who pooped and peed on her.
And since she learned about the beastly behavior of her "biological father", in order to one day make Xue Hu kneel in front of their mother and daughter to repent, when other children were enjoying their parents' doting, she stayed up late to read, and when other children were spending time in the hotel
On her birthday, she gnawed on cold steamed buns and did exercises.
There is no happy childhood, no pampering from parents, no various snacks...
Trying harder and harder, she seemed to have taken off all her clothes and run naked with time, paying a price that ordinary people could not imagine.
That price paid off - her academic performance has always been number one since she was a child. This was true in elementary school, junior high school, and high school!
Because of her first place in academic performance, because of her rare simplicity in modern girls, and because of her good looks, she was called the common school beauty. People who chased her and wanted to stun her with money were like crucian carp crossing the river, and they were countless.
However--
She is like a lotus flower, rising out of the mud but not stained, washing through the ripples without being evil, clinging to her own bottom line and persisting in her dreams.
As she gets older, she gradually feels that her dream is so out of reach, but... she still doesn't give up!
Later, she met Chen Fan, and while she fell in love with Chen Fan, she also received Chen Fan's promise: Chen Fan told her that he would help her fulfill her wish.
In the past few days, the reason why she was haunted was because she knew that Chen Fan had traveled thousands of miles to the United States to deal with Xue Hu in order to help her fulfill her wish.
So far, she has not received any news about Chen Fan.
This worried her greatly.
At this time... Hearing his mother's words, Tian Cao was touched in his heart and gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, do you remember what I said, that he will seek justice for us?"
"You mean Mr. Chen?" Aunt Tian immediately reacted and remembered something.
Tiancao nodded slightly.
"Remember, what's wrong?" Aunt Tian frowned slightly, then as if she had guessed something, her face changed and she said, "Is it possible... could something happen to Mr. Chen?"
"No." Tian Cao shook his head, and then said with a worried face: "But he went to the United States to deal with that beast who suffered a thousand cuts, and now...he hasn't come back yet, and there is no news."
"Ah..." Aunt Tian was shocked when she heard what Tian Cao said, and then she also had a worried expression on her face: "Chen... Mr. Chen, will something happen to him?"
There was no answer, Tian Cao bit her lip tightly.
Because...she didn't know if something would happen to Chen Fan.
"Ding dong!"
Then... just as mother and daughter were worried about Chen Fan, the doorbell suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the hall.
The sudden ringing startled the two of them at first, but then they both came to their senses.
"I'm going to open the door. It should be Sister Huangfu who's here." After regaining consciousness, Tian Cao subconsciously thought that it was Huangfu Hongzhu who had come, because... since she and Aunt Tian moved to the apartment, Huangfu Hongzhu was the only one who came to the house.
guest.
After her words fell, Tian Cao stood up with excitement on her face. In her opinion, Huangfu Hongzhu came home so late because he probably had news about Chen Fan.
With a bit of excitement, Tian Cao quickly came to the door and clearly saw Huangfu Hongzhu in front of the video downstairs through the intercom. Tian Cao did not see Chen Fan standing aside with Xue Hu in his arms.
"Sister Huangfu, I'll open the door for you." Seeing that it was Huangfu Hongzhuque downstairs, the excitement on Tian Cao's face became even stronger.
"Um."
Huangfu Hongzhu nodded, but did not tell Chen Fan that he was nearby.
A minute later, when Chen Fan took Xue Hu and Huangfu Hongzhu, who were like dead dogs, into the elevator to the floor where Tian Cao's apartment was located, Tian Cao was waiting in front of the elevator door early in a set of pajamas.
"Ding dong!"
With a soft sound, the elevator stopped and the elevator door slowly opened.
"Sister Huangfu..."
Tian Cao shouted subconsciously, but halfway through the shouting, the rest of the words were swallowed back into her stomach.
Because she saw Chen Fan.
The moment she saw Chen Fan, her whole body seemed to be cast by magic, her whole body stiffened, her pupils dilated, and her eyes shone with excitement.
only--
The excitement quickly dimmed - she then saw Xue Hu in Chen Fan's hands again!
The moment he saw Xue Hu, the excitement in Tian Cao's eyes was replaced by shock, followed by hatred... unforgettable hatred!
The unforgettable hatred made her pretty face turn pale, and her fists could not help but clenched together!
As if aware of Tian Cao's mood swings, Huangfu Hongzhu stepped forward, hugged Tian Cao lovingly into his arms, and said softly: "Xiao Cao, let's go into the house first, and then we'll talk after entering the house."
"Kill...kill me..."
At the same time, Xue Hu also saw Tian Cao. There was no guilt on his face, but only a ferocious expression. It seemed that... he was very unwilling to face Aunt Tian.
Xue Hu had been struggling along the way. At this time, his voice was hoarse and his voice was even more terrifying than before in the cabin.
There was no response. Tian Cao gritted his teeth and looked away, and was hugged by Huangfu Hongzhu as he walked towards the apartment. Chen Fan didn't say anything, but just carried Xue Hu and followed behind them.
"Miss Huangfu..."
At the door of the apartment, Aunt Tian was waiting at the door with her slippers in hand. When she saw Huangfu Hongzhu walking in front with Tian Cao in his arms, she immediately said hello with a smile.
After the words fell, the smile on Aunt Tian's face suddenly stiffened.
She saw Chen Fan through the gap between Huangfu red bamboo and field grass.
I also saw Xue Hu in Chen Fan’s hand.
"Snapped!"
The face that had scared her awake countless nights appeared in her eyes. Aunt Tian stiffened, her hands loosened, and her slippers fell directly to the ground.
Under the light, her eyes widened and she looked motionless.
Look at that beastly man who took her body away by force!
Look at that beastly man who ruined her life!
"brute……"
Watching, watching, Aunt Tian's body trembled violently, tears fell from her slightly old face like broken beads, she opened her mouth and uttered two words full of hatred.
Hearing the word "beast", Xue Hu stopped struggling. He subconsciously met Aunt Tian's gaze and laughed strangely: "Tian Fang, I can't believe that in less than twenty years, you have become an old man.
