Xia Qingqian was made carsick by the driver's showmanship. She felt nauseous and almost vomited. "Uncle, why don't you drive slowly? Don't be in a hurry..."

But the driver suddenly got excited. Seeing the traffic jam ahead, he turned into a small alley for her. "I know that this road leads to the Dihao Hotel. Others definitely don't know it. You are really lucky to get my car today. I promise to take you there in ten minutes."

Xia Qingqian pursed her lips and dared not speak, fearing that she would really vomit.

However, the driver did not lie to him. He indeed saw the building of Dihao Hotel when he went out of the alley. After turning a corner, the car stopped in front of the hotel's gate.

Xia Qingqian said "thank you" and paid the money, then hurriedly opened the car door and got out, taking two deep breaths of oxygen. The driver behind him was still muttering, "I told you I know the road well, there will be no problem..."

Xia Qingqian paused for a moment and then ran towards the hotel gate.

She first went to the front desk to ask if the presidential suite where Ji Fengfan stayed last night had been cleaned. Sure enough, it had been cleaned. Then she ran directly to that floor and found the housekeeping lady who was in charge of cleaning that floor.

"Everyone, when you cleaned room 2806 today, did you see a suit jacket in the trash can?"

"I saw it." The eldest sister said. The guests who stayed in this kind of room were either rich or noble, so they didn't dare to touch things casually. After she saw the suit in the trash can in the morning, she called the front desk to report it.

"The front desk reported back that the guest didn't want it, so I threw it away."

"Throw it away?!" Xia Qingqian couldn't help but raise her voice, "Big sister, where did you throw it?"

"Yes, I'm the only one in our family, and no one would wear them if I picked them up, so I packed them all up and put them in the garbage storage area on the B1 floor of the hotel. I don't know if the garbage truck has taken them away yet. Why don't you go and take a look?" said the eldest sister.

"Thank you, big sister." Xia Qingqian ran towards the basement floor without looking back.

Xia Qingqian searched around the underground first floor before she found the hotel's garbage storage area. It was spotless and there was no trace of the collected garbage bags.

She walked out of the hotel door in disappointment, thinking that she had not only lost her innocence in one day, but now she had to pay a compensation of one million from her savings. She felt very sad. She walked along the road with her head down towards the apartment, and suddenly felt a little confused. She came to Jiangcheng from a small city and had been in the entertainment industry for so many years. She had seen the reality clearly a long time ago. Now she suddenly didn't know whether she should continue to stick to her dream...

Her hometown is in a small county town under Jiangcheng. Her parents are farmers and have a low level of education, but the family is harmonious. She also has a younger sister who is studying in a university in Beijing. She is a freshman this year and was the top scorer in the science subject in their county in this year's college entrance examination.

My parents were one of the few who got married after falling in love. They met when they were young while working in the city. After they got married and had their first child, they returned to the small county town to settle down. Because they had two daughters, they were often gossiped about in the countryside. Not to mention outsiders, even Xia Qingqian’s own grandmother didn’t like them very much. When they were young, the family would carry large and small bags of gifts to their grandparents’ house during festivals. Because they were the only family without boys, Xia’s mother always had to look at their faces and was scolded every time. And don’t say that children don’t understand. They can feel whether they like it or not.

Everyone else got red envelopes, but the two sisters only got a few candies.

Later, when she grew up a little, she and her sister didn't like to go to their grandparents' house very much. Whenever the New Year or other holidays came, they would clamor to go to their grandmother's house to play. Dad Xia didn't force them, and went back alone, letting Mom Xia take the two sisters back to their grandmother's house.

Although her parents were not well educated, they really loved her and her sisters. They did not favor boys over girls. They might not be good at expressing themselves, but she could feel their love through their actions. So, she could say that although her material conditions were average when she was young, her spiritual world was very rich. It was the so-called happiness in poverty.

After my younger sister started elementary school, my parents contracted several plots of land to grow vegetables and fruit trees. They were very busy, but the conditions at home gradually began to improve. Although it was not as good as in the city, it was still pretty good in their village. They built a two-story house, and she and her sister had their own separate rooms.

Later, the two sisters left the small county town and came to the big city. Those who had mocked their family for not having a son finally shut up.

Xia Qingqian walked along the road, thinking of her childhood, and she didn't seem to be so sad anymore. The lights were on, and this bustling city was still so dazzling. She once thought about flying away, but after being whipped by reality, she found that ordinary days were actually pretty good.

There was a little girl selling flowers on the roadside. Her clothes were old but clean. She had a fair face, two pigtails, big eyes, and clear pupils, as if she was looking at the world with her own light.

Xia Qingqian watched her holding the flowers and asking passers-by if they wanted to buy some, but it seemed that business was not very good. Xia Qingqian stood opposite her and watched her for several minutes, but did not see her sell a single flower.

She smiled slightly, walked towards the little girl selling flowers, and stood in front of her flower basket. When the little girl saw her stop in front of her flower basket, her eyes lit up, and she smiled brightly and beautifully at Xia Qingqian, then asked, "Sister, do you want to buy flowers?"

Xia Qingqian squatted down and looked at the gorgeous roses. Her depressed and sad mood seemed to improve. She turned her head to look at the little girl and said with a smile, "Well, little sister, how much do you sell these flowers for?"

"Sister, ten yuan a stick." The little girl smiled and squatted beside Xia Qingqian and answered.

Xia Qingqian picked up a rose. The delicate and beautiful flower made people happy. Usually, she would buy some flowers and put them in the vase of the apartment and on the cabinet at the entrance. It seemed that her life was full of vitality every day.

Xia Qingqian put the flower back in her hand. The little girl thought she didn't want it anymore, so she asked nervously, "Sister, don't you want it anymore?"

Xia Qingqian smiled at the little girl. The smile on her face was very pretty, and the little girl seemed a little stunned. Then she stretched out her hands and took out all the roses in the basket, "I want all these flowers."
