When Jian Bai was less than seven years old, her father died suddenly of a heart attack.
Within three months, her mother held a low-key wedding and took her father's property with her to remarry Jian Zhenqiu.
When she first arrived at Jian's house, Jian Bai felt that everything around her was gray and white, her eyes had lost color, and she lived in a daze every day.
Jian Zhenqiu had a daughter at home. He loved her very much and even asked Jiang Mi to love Jian Shumo as he did his own daughter.
Jian Bai had just arrived and was only one year younger than Jian Shumo, which made Jian Shumo feel the pressure of his peers.
She was very resistant to Jian Bai, so she kept teasing Jian Bai.
Jian Bai has been independent and lively since she was a child, but it was only when she arrived at the Jian family that she restrained all her temperament.
Jian Shumo also deliberately told her: "You are Cinderella in the fairy tale, and you will work as a servant for our family."
For more than half a year, Jian Bai had not slept a full night's sleep. She would suddenly wake up from nightmares.
She never had enough to eat, and she was in a bad mood and couldn't eat.
She was sallow and thin, and compared to Jian Shumo's fair and rosy skin, she looked so ugly.
Jian Shumo celebrated his ninth birthday and invited many children; Jian Zhenqiu and Jiang Bi took the opportunity to socialize and held a grand birthday party.
In addition to the children's amusement park, there is also a banquet for adults.
The location was chosen to be Jane's villa.
Jian Bai is thin and small. When Jian Zhenqiu saw it, he said, "Why does this child look like a monkey?"
Jiang Bi locked her in the room and told her not to go downstairs.
"You are so ugly. If others see it, I will lose my face."
Jiang Mi said impatiently.
Jian Bai always remembers her mother holding her in her arms, reading to her and making her laugh.
Mom may not love her dad that much, but she loves her very much.
But my mother, who remarried to the Jian family, seemed to be a completely different person.
Jian Bai no longer recognizes her.
Later, she was really hungry, so Jian Bai slipped downstairs to find something to eat.
"...There is a child over there, is it your servant's child?"
Jian Shumo's friend asked in a childlike voice.
Jian Bai took the things and ran, but accidentally ran in the wrong direction.
Several children were confused: "Is he a thief?"
"Catch the thief."
"Hurry up, hurry up, the thief is running to the back."
It was so noisy that it alarmed all the adults.
When Jian Zhenqiu saw Jian Bai being chased by the children, his tone was very calm: "It's the child brought here by Jiang Bi.
What's wrong with this kid?"
His tone was very unhappy.
Jiang Bi ignored the presence of the guests and shouted loudly: "What are you doing?
Come here quickly."
Jian Bai was so frightened that she ran to the swimming pool, stepped on the air and fell down.
Everyone exclaimed.
"Come on, where's the lifeguard?
Are there lifeguards ready?"
"Who can swim?"
“The swimming pool isn’t deep, right?”
Jian Bai couldn't swim, so she choked on the water in her mouth and nose and almost suffocated.
Someone jumped down and picked her up.
Fifteen-year-old Qu Yanbei, who has grown very tall, came to Jian Shumo's birthday party with his grandmother and sister. When he saw someone falling into the water, he jumped into the swimming pool and rescued Jian Bai regardless of his beautiful clothes.
Jian Bai was rescued, and when she saw the expressions of everyone on the shore watching the excitement, she suddenly felt a sting in her heart.
It turns out that her world has completely changed, and she will need to rely on herself to support herself in the future.
After she fell into the water, most people watched.
In their eyes, the girl's life is far less important than their dresses worth tens or even hundreds of thousands, and they cannot ruin their luxurious clothes because of her.
Except Qu Yanbei.
She fell into the water and contracted a lung infection. She was frightened again and had a fever and cough.
When she was sick, Jiang Bi stayed with her and quarreled with Jian Zhenqiu for the first time: "It's all your fault! If Shumo and her friends hadn't chased her, my baby would never have fallen into the water!"
Jian Bai was only eight years old at the time, and she suddenly understood many things.
Her mother's indifference was just an attempt to break up their little family so that she and she could integrate into Jane's new family.
Mom has a lot of problems. Mom doesn't even love her dad, but she loves her.
The mother calls her "baby".
She had a fever for three days, and her mother took care of her around the clock for three days.
In the days that followed, her mother often behaved worse than her stepmother.
She knew that it was for Jian Zhenqiu to see, so that Jian Zhenqiu would be less wary of the two of them, and make Jian Zhenqiu pity Jian Bai.
Later, my mother had three new children, and perhaps her love for her in her heart diminished.
But she still firmly believes that her mother will always love her.
After she recovered from her illness, her mother and Jian Zhenqiu took her to Qu's house for dinner.
She thanked Qu Yanbei.
In Qu Yanbei's eyes, she might be too thin and small, like a four or five-year-old child.
He touched her head, squatted down and told her: "In the future, you must take good care of yourself, eat well, and study well."
Jian Bai indeed took good care of herself.
Qu Yanbei was a major turning point in her life.
From then on, Jian Bai gradually stopped complaining.
She knew that there was no one in the world to protect her, her mother was unreliable, and her love was too erratic.
She has always looked up to Qu Yanbei, it was the shrine in her heart and her belief.
