After being abandoned by my parents, I became a top boss

A pleasant voice sounded in her ears, bringing the girl back to her senses.

She tilted her head to look at him, and squeezed out two words from her throat that had been silent for a long time, "Thank you."

Li Chen was stunned, as if he didn't believe that those two words just came from her mouth. He was very excited, but afraid of scaring her, so he could only suppress his excitement and slowed down his tone and said, "Just now, were you saying thank you to me?"

The girl nodded.

He became even more excited, and couldn't hide the smile on his lips. "You should talk more, just like you did just now. Kid, it's better to be lively."

But she is also afraid that her demands are too high and she may not be able to do it at the moment. What should she do if she gets discouraged?

I had to add: "But don't worry, we'll take it slow. At least the 'thank you' just now is a big progress.

"I know you've suffered a lot since childhood, but don't worry, you won't suffer anymore in the future."

As he spoke, he took out a candy from his pocket, put it in her palm, and said seriously: "Life in the future will be as sweet as this candy."

The girl looked at the candy in her hand, and for a moment, she believed what he said.

Maybe it's sweet?

Looking up and meeting Li Chen's gaze, the corners of her lips curved slightly, with a smile on her face.

Seeing her smile, Li Chen was also happy, "Let's go! I'll take you in and have some fun."

There were so many attractions in the amusement park that the girl was dazzled.

Li Chen tilted his head to look at her, "Which one do you want to try first?"

The girl pointed at the roller coaster and looked up at him, as if asking: Is it okay?

Li Chen was stunned for a moment and murmured, "Roller coaster?"

Then he looked at the girl again, "That's very exciting, aren't you afraid?"

The girl nodded, her eyes full of determination.

"Okay, let's play that."

As the roller coaster twists and turns, the girl's heart beats along with it. The wind blowing in her face and the feeling of weightlessness as she hangs down to the ground are like a key that opens the door to her heart.

The emotions that have been suppressed in my heart for a long time are bubbling out little by little.

She didn't know what was going on, but she suddenly felt relieved. No matter what happened in the past, what would happen in the future?

She just wants to cherish the present moment.

At least at this moment, she is happy.

After getting off the roller coaster, they tried a few more projects and the girls had a lot of fun.

But when it came to the water park project, she stopped.

Li Chen was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

The girl didn't react, she just stared at the water in the pool with a pale face.

Memories of the past flooded into her mind like crazy. The feeling of being pressed into the water and unable to breathe made her suffocate. The feeling of despair from struggling hard to giving up resistance seemed to reappear.

She couldn't grab anything, she couldn't save herself, she could only let her body sink.

She was on the brink of death...

Is she dead?

Those memories were like blades, cutting her flesh inch by inch...

Her face became paler and paler, and Li Chen became anxious. He squatted down and kept asking her what was wrong.

But no matter how he asked, the girl didn't respond.

Seeing that she was staring at the pool of water, he raised his hands to cover her eyes and coaxed her softly, "It's okay, you are safe now, no one can hurt you."

It seemed that his soothing action had taken place, and the girl really calmed down, but he felt a damp heat in his palms.

When he took it away again, the girl's cheeks were already covered with tears.

she cried.

This was the first time he saw her cry.

He remembered that when he rescued her that day, her body was covered with wounds, but she didn't show any pain or shed a single tear.

But today, she burst into tears because she saw a pool of water.

Worried that she would be upset again by looking at the water in the pool, Li Chen grabbed her wrist and strode away.

After they walked away, he let go of the girl's wrist and slowed down his pace.

"What happened to you just now?" Li Chen asked tentatively.

The girl didn't say anything, she just kept walking forward.

Li Chen didn't ask any more questions. Maybe when she wanted to talk, she would take the initiative to speak.

After coming out of the amusement park, the girl sat in the passenger seat and dozed off with her eyes closed.

Li Chen did not disturb her and found a B&B to stay in.

The original plan was to take her around, but because of what happened at the amusement park, she was obviously not in the mood anymore.

It would be better to find a B&B to stay in so that she can have a good rest and calm down.

The homestay was exceptionally quiet at night. The moonlight sprinkled in the quaint courtyard, exuding a quiet beauty, but the girl on the bed was caught in a nightmare.

In her dream, she returned to the age of five. She and her brother Jiang Hengzhi were tied up with hemp ropes by the kidnappers. They stood on the deck with seals on their mouths. They looked at their family members standing on the shore with fear.

The faces in the dream were so clear that she could even see the subtle expressions on their faces.

Perhaps it was because her obsession was too deep that she dared not forget this scene. She wanted to remember it forever and hate it forever.

The kidnapper looked ferocious. He held up a loud speaker and shouted to the people on the other side: "There are two people, you can only take one away!"

The decision-making power fell into the hands of Mr. Jiang, and she looked at him with longing and pleading eyes.

Perhaps it was because she had never been made a firm choice before, and at this moment, she actually hoped very much to hear her name from Mr. Jiang's mouth.

However, Mr. Jiang did not hesitate for a second. He said, "I choose Ah Heng."

Such decisive words, yet they sent her into an abyss from which there was no escape.

Yes! After all, it was her extravagant wish. How could Mr. Jiang...her so-called grandfather, choose her?

From childhood to adulthood, she was an unpopular person in that family.

What Jiang Hengzhi has, she doesn't have.

What Jiang Hengzhi didn't have, she didn't have either.

The family members were always kind to Jiang Hengzhi, but they never even smiled at her.

They only let her learn things she doesn't like and they never care about her feelings.

If she did anything wrong, she would be severely punished, kneeling in the ancestral hall, not being given food, and having her palms slapped...

They would hold a grand birthday party for Jiang Hengzhi, but they never remembered her birthday and were unwilling to even send her the simplest birthday wishes.

Every time she thought of this, her heart couldn't help but ache.

She always wondered whether she was a child of the Jiang family.

Unfortunately, she didn’t get the chance to verify all this. Is her life about to end?

Her eyes were red as she looked at her parents standing on the shore. She placed her last bit of hope on them.

Feeling her gaze, her mother's eyes were red, "Xiaofeng, it's not that mommy doesn't want to save you, Ah Heng is a boy after all..."

One sentence completely extinguished all the expectations and fantasies in her heart.

It was her fault. How could she expect her parents to save her?

In the past, when she was punished by Grandpa Jiang, they never gave her any alms or comfort. They never cared about her joys and sorrows, or whether she had enough food and clothes. Her existence seemed dispensable.

As for Jiang Hengzhi, they have held him in their hands since he was a child. No matter what he asks for, they will satisfy him. Even if they can't do it, they will try their best.

But what about her?

She just wanted to go to the amusement park with them once. It was such a simple request. But for two years, two whole years, they had not fulfilled this promise.

She smiled bitterly in her heart, tears rolling down the corners of her eyes.

Never mind, it’s just death, nothing to be afraid of, no one cares about her anyway.
