Chapter 157 Kick it back into the mud (1)

On the companion tree, the fifteenth flower is in full bloom.

The incident happened in the early 1990s. The original owner, Zhang Yiyi, was sixteen years old and a freshman in high school. Because she lived on campus, she became familiar with her roommate Chen Xinran. Chen Xinran was sweet-spoken and good at talking, and the original owner had a gentle personality, and the two gradually became good friends who could talk about anything.

During this period, the original owner also learned about Chen Xinran's family situation. He knew that her parents had extremely high expectations for her and had been very strict with her since she was a child. She had to do her best in life and study, otherwise she would be punished.

The original owner was angry for her, she didn't expect there was such a patriarch, but she was just a child, so she could only help her wholeheartedly in normal times. So whether in study or other aspects, she indulged and took care of Chen Xinran, and gradually became like a maid.

During this period, many classmates could not bear to see this and advised the original owner not to work so hard. It would be fine if the two of them helped each other, but everyone could see that Chen Xinran was just enjoying the original owner's help unilaterally.

As she got older, her schoolwork became heavier, and she had less free time, the original owner was really powerless and felt that this was not a good way to go. But every time she said no to Chen Xinran, Chen Xinran would start crying and say that she was her only friend now, and asked the original owner not to abandon her.

The original owner was depressed and thin-skinned, and couldn't bear to face her crying and begging. Chen Xinran saw her attitude and immediately began to coax her. She was very sweet-mouthed and pretended to be self-reliant. She also helped the original owner to get food and water.

But she didn't know whether it was intentional or not. When she helped the original owner to fetch water, she broke the thermos. When she served food, she only picked up the old roots and stalks of the cabbage. When she took notes, she missed the key points... In short, she was not good at anything.

Before the original owner got angry, she started crying again, saying that it was all her fault for being useless, and that no wonder her parents had always scolded and beaten her since she was a child, and that it was all because of her uselessness.

The original owner always felt that something was wrong after hearing this, but couldn't put it into words. Under her extreme pleading, he could only temporarily let this matter go. Perhaps it was because his intuition was wrong, and the original owner still began to distance himself from her at a very slow pace.

This abnormal relationship lasted until the winter vacation of the senior year of high school. Chen Xinran found the original owner and said that a famous writer she liked was holding a book signing event. She wanted to go and hoped that the original owner could accompany her.

The book signing event was in the other direction of the city, quite far from their school. The original owner didn't want to go and wanted to go home early. Chen Xinran started crying again, saying that she really liked the writer and that she knew the original owner didn't want to be friends with her anymore. She only needed to accompany her once and then she would devote herself to the intense study of her senior year and promised not to disturb the original owner in the future.

The original owner was embarrassed by what she said, and after crying for a long time, she finally agreed to her request, saying that this was the last time.

Just like that, they went straight to the book signing event as soon as they had a holiday. The original owner had made up her mind that after this time, she must make up her mind to get into a good university and not let her parents down. She also planned her future path, aiming to achieve academic success, find a good job, and let her hard-working parents relax.

She kept thinking about this while waiting for Chen Xinran to come back from the toilet. But after waiting for almost half an hour, she finally realized that something was wrong. Why hadn't the person come back yet?

The original owner panicked a little and immediately ran into the public toilet to look for someone, but after searching everywhere, he couldn't find anyone. He only saw something dropped on the ground at the corner of the public toilet. It was the bag that Chen Xinran carried when she came out, and there were two notebooks, a pen, and two hairpins in it.

The person was missing, and no one knew whether he had been kidnapped or had an accident. The original owner was a young child after all, and he was so scared that he started crying. He called the police in a daze and also called Chen Xinran's parents anxiously.

While the police were busy searching, Chen Xinran's parents came over that night, but the first thing they did was to rush to the original owner and beat her up, scolding her for bringing their daughter out and losing her. Only then did they go to ask the police about the situation.

Because the surveillance in this era is analog surveillance, and it is not distributed in so many places, some blind spots cannot be seen, and it is impossible to find out what happened to Chen Xinran.

The couple was like crazy. No matter how the original owner explained, they wouldn't listen. They blamed all the mistakes on the original owner and believed that since the original owner lost the person, he must be responsible for them.

The original owner was frightened, helpless and bewildered. When her parents arrived and saw her appearance, they were heartbroken. The couple, who had been honest all their lives, had a conflict with Chen's parents over their daughter, but they were no match for the cunning and violent Chen family members and were instead blackmailed of a lot of money.

Chen Xinran was completely missing. The original owner felt aggrieved and guilty. She returned to school feeling very depressed and had no motivation. Chen's father and mother even came to the school to make a fuss, saying that Chen Xinran was lost by the original owner, that she had poor character, and that she was not worthy of studying and going to college.

The classmates in the original owner's class felt that she was not to blame, but other students who did not understand did not know that there was a lot of talk in the school. They did not necessarily have much malicious intent, but the way they looked at her was unbearable for the sensitive original owner.

But Chen's father and mother did not stop there. They found the original owner's house, openly broke into the house, and kept saying that the original owner made them lose their child, and did not allow the original owner to continue studying, and had to work to support them.

On the day of the college entrance examination, Chen's father and mother made all kinds of trouble to stop him, causing the original owner to miss two exams. In the end, he failed to even get into a junior college. At such a young age, he had to work to earn money, and his home was also occupied by them.

The Zhang family's life was in a mess. The original owner couldn't find a good job because those two people would disrupt things whenever they had the chance. In the end, she could only do odd jobs to make a living. She didn't save any money until middle age, and her parents passed away one after another because they got sick and couldn't afford the money for treatment.

Just when the original owner was feeling hopeless after holding the funeral and wanted to die together with Chen's father and mother, she found that they were no longer pressing her and their faces were glowing all day long. The original owner became suspicious and had an idea, so she followed them out.

As a result, she discovered the root cause of all these tragedies, Chen Xinran, she was still alive and well!

The original owner was trembling all over. She couldn't control herself and rushed out immediately, grabbed her and asked her harshly what had happened.

Perhaps she was frightened by the dishevelled appearance of the original owner, who was tortured by life. Chen Xinran screamed and took a step back. Immediately, a tall and strong man rushed over and pushed the original owner hard.

Chen Xinran was obviously about the same age as her, but she looked like she was thirty years old. Her clothes and appearance were exquisite, and the man was also dressed in luxury.

They all looked down at the embarrassed original owner with disgust in their eyes.

Chen's father and mother told her who the original owner was. Chen Xinran was surprised to recognize her. She regretfully explained that the original owner had changed too much and confessed that she was ignorant at the beginning. She said that she is now a mother and understands the difficulties of her parents. She is willing to reconcile with her family and take the person away.

Chen's father and mother were naturally happy because Chen Xinran had already told them what had happened to her over the years. After she left on her own, she met someone and went to Hong Kong and Taiwan, where she met her current husband. Her husband's family is a Hong Kong businessman and is very wealthy. Of course, they couldn't wait to get close to their daughter.

As for the original owner, Chen Xinran just said "sorry" and let it go.

In the end, only the Zhang family, only the original owner and her parents, had everything destroyed.
