Chapter 498
She hurriedly struggled loose of the car and dragged her brother out . The car then burned down completely .
She passed out from her dire injuries right after .
She regained consciousness to a few minor injuries and to her younger brother missing .
Her mother was eventually pronounced dead .
With the coroner’s report in one hand and her broken arm in the other, she watched her mother be pushed to the cold morgue . She followed woodenly behind without shedding a single tear .
She seemed to forget how to cry .
Her mother did not have any friends when she was alive, so her funeral was hastily arranged by a few good Samaritans who had taken pity on her .
She forgot how she had endured through the subsequent month in a hospital .
Her heart had turned numb at that point . Still, she only fully realized that she would be alone from then onward on the day of her hospital discharge .
Other than a piece of jade, she had nothing of her mother .
She recalled her mother carrying the jade with her at all times and never keeping it away .
She did not mention a word of her past to her daughter, though .
She did recall how much her mother had hated her father and grandfather’s origin . Still, even though not much was spoken about them, she knew that they were rich people .
She also remembered her mother holding a deep-seated grudge against a man named Mu Sheng to the point of calling him a cruel butcher .
While her mother did mention the Mu family, the number of times could be counted with one hand .
She kept mum about the two siblings’ father, however .
Since she did not have any relatives, after some paperwork, she was sent to a private orphanage .
The place ended up becoming her lifelong nightmare .
That was probably the darkest period of her life, and because she never wanted to revisit that past, she was subjected to a selective memory loss . The memory of that place had turned hazy .
This was until Mu Wanrou’s ‘a slut is always a slut – born to be vile’ retort brought back her memories of the forgotten past . Finally, she could recall a girl who used to curse her with those exact words back then .
…
After she had reached the orphanage, she was quickly assigned to a room .
The room of about 20 square meters was considered crowded with 16 children occupying eight double decks in it .
A pretty girl called Rou’er was sharing a bed with her . Just like the rest, this girl yearned to be adopted by a rich family .
Different from the other children, she recalled this girl always looking beautiful and outstanding . She was often decked in pretty frocks and was frequently holding candies and snacks . Her mannerism was akin to a highly regarded, pampered princess .
The orphanage director and teachers doted on her, and she even had a huge following among the children .
She was like a fairy the way she was showered with love and affection .
Back then, Yun Shishi was still agonizing over the loss of her mother . Her reclusive and autistic behavior repelled the rest . No one liked to play or be with her .
That girl was the first to reach out to her . When she was feeling helpless and hopeless, the little girl gave her a sweet and said, “My name is Rou’er; what is yours? Let’s be good friends!”
She was sincerely grateful to the girl . Sweet and kind-hearted, she was just like an angel to her .
