On the other hand, cars were parked outside the villa, and all of them had serious expressions on their faces…
"I want to get off!" Xia Zhitong ordered the chauffeur to stop the car outside. She rushed out of the car and stopped in front of the black steel door.
The tall walls and thick gates did not feel like a warm home at all. Instead, it felt oppressive and heavy…
Xia Zhitong had a bad feeling about this, and her heart was beating wildly.
She entered the password at the door, but…the password was wrong!
"Open the door! Hurry up and open the door!" Xia Zhitong was so anxious that tears were flowing out of her eyes. She didn't know if she had remembered wrongly or…someone had changed the password on purpose.
A friendly guest, an old man around six o'clock, came forward and asked Xia Zhitong," You are…Mr. Xia's daughter? Little Tong?"
" Yes…Yes…" Xia Zhitong turned her head, and her sparkling eyes reflected the old man's sad face.
" Don't tell me…you don't know your father, he…" The old man wanted to say something but stopped. It was as if he had something painful stuck in his throat.
"What's wrong with him? Please tell me what happened to my father! "Why can't I open the door? Why…" Xia Zhitong grabbed the old man's hand and begged him.
The sky gradually darkened. The birthday banquet that was supposed to start at six o'clock sharp was nowhere to be seen. There was only a black car that slowly drove over. A woman in black walked out of the car. Her hair was not tied up like when they met just now, but it was messy as if she had been scratched by her hands. In the blink of an eye, the woman who walked out of the car cried out in pain with red eyes.
Xia Zhitong would never forget the thing that woman was holding in her hands…a black and white photo of her father!
At that moment, her stepmother, Lin Meijing, was trying her best to act out the pain of losing her husband. The fake sobbing of the surrounding guests seemed to be isolated from her world.
It was as if he had fallen into an abyss. The surroundings were deathly silent and dark. Only his father's kind photo could be vaguely seen…
" I…I don't believe it, I don't believe it…" Xia Zhitong shook her head expressionlessly. Her face was so pale that it was almost transparent. It was as if her body had been sucked away by someone. Her blood seemed to have frozen. She couldn't move, and she couldn't hear anything around her.
"You jinx!"
The woman's sharp voice and hot slaps landed on Xia Zhitong's face, but she didn't feel any pain at all. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Lin Meijing grabbed Xia Zhitong's hair like she had gone mad and started beating her up." You bastard, why did you come back?!" Do you know that every time you come back, either your mother dies or your sister breaks her brain and becomes mentally retarded? It was a great harm! This time, you're going to kill my husband. I'm going to kill you! I'll kill you!"
Xia Zhitong did not resist Lin Meijing's whipping. Her empty eyes were like a pool of stagnant water. She avoided Lin Meijing's ferocious and angry face and looked at the photo that was being held by someone.
Lin Meijing grabbed Xia Zhitong's neck. Xia Zhitong suddenly couldn't breathe. She instinctively reached out to resist. Her fingers grabbed Lin Meijing's clothes and tore at the black dress that Lin Meijing had just changed into.
" Father must not be…dead…not…dead…" Xia Zhitong said in pain. However, no one was willing to step forward and pull Lin Meijing away from this girl who was about to be beaten to death.
Not far away.
The driver in the car dialed a number.
"Young Master, we just received news that Xia Zhitong's father was in a car accident on his way back to S City. The car and the person fell off the mountain road, and even his bones couldn't be found. Xia Zhitong is blocked outside the door, and her stepmother is strangling Xia Zhitong. I'm afraid she might die…"
The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a while. His voice was low and calm." You're not allowed to go out and save her. She can get out of this predicament on her own. My date tonight is very important. Don't call me again.”
After the driver heard the beeping sound, he confirmed that Huo Chengxi had hung up the phone. He did not stay any longer and turned around to leave.
A light drizzle fell from the gloomy sky, landing on Xia Zhitong's face.
The young girl in the rain was kicked and beaten ruthlessly. She was even strangled by someone until her face turned purple. The people around her looked at her coldly. No one helped her, no one!
Her father was dead. What else did she have?
She closed her eyes in despair, but his hands let go of her neck. Finally, he kicked her a few times as if he was venting his anger and threw her out of the door.
The guests who had come to attend the banquet tonight all dispersed like a tide, bypassing her and leaving…
Xia Zhitong's body was covered in pain, and blood was flowing out of her delicate nose. The rain had mixed her tears with her blood. She crawled on the ground and slowly crawled to the front door. She propped herself up with difficulty and entered the password over and over again. She was repeatedly prompted that the password was wrong.
That night, she knelt in front of the heavy door and begged her mother to open the door. She wanted her to go in and take a look at her father's photo and ask about her sister, Xiao Jing.
However, the next day, when the door opened, it was already the early funeral. People in black walked into the Xia residence with solemn expressions. She, who had been in the rain for the whole day, was blocked outside the door and could only continue to kneel.
" Mom, please let me in. I want to see my father one last time and send him off. Please…you…"
After a sleepless night, Xia Zhitong's bright eyes were like dried spring water, lifeless. Her eyes were deep, and her face was pale with fatigue. Her dress was wrinkled, and her petite body was trembling.
Lin Meijing never appeared again. Xia Zhitong remained kneeling until the sky darkened again…
She could no longer hold on and lost her balance. Her head hit the ground heavily, leaving a wound on her forehead.
A man walked out of the car that had been parked for a long time. He bent down slightly and cupped her small face in his hands.
So cold!
There was no warmth at all. Her skin was like white paper, her cheeks were full of scars, and the blood mark on her forehead was like a plum blossom. The man's gentle fingers gently touched her hair, caressing it lovingly.
His thin lips trembled slightly as he pressed them against her forehead." Stupid woman, why are you kneeling? No one will sympathize with you…"
No one would sympathize with her?
Then…what about him?
In Xia Zhitong's dream, she heard a gentle and magnetic voice. It was so warm, and it gave her a sense of security.
She knew that there must be someone in this world who cared about her.
Then, would he be that person?
She lay in bed for an entire day before she regained consciousness. Perhaps it was the sudden death of her loved ones that made her not have the courage to open her eyes and face this cruel reality.
" Little Tong, you're finally awake. Please don't scare me. Sob, sob…"
A surprised voice made Xia Zhitong's body tremble. She looked at Amy with her tired eyes. Why was Amy by her side?
"What's wrong? Xiao Tong, did you lose your memory after you hit your forehead?”Amy nervously touched Xia Zhitong's body.
" No…Amy…" Xia Zhitong's voice was very weak. She realized that her throat had become inflamed because of the rain that night, and she couldn't even speak.
"Little Tong, do you know how worried I was when I received a call from the hospital? I was discussing with the director to give me a 200-per-day role as a little palace maid. We were about to reach an agreement, but for you, I didn't even want the money and came straight to pick you up! You're a bad person, Xia Zhitong. I hate you for making me lose money every time!”Amy smiled as she cried. Seeing that Xia Zhitong had finally woken up, the weight in her heart was lifted.
