The first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrates the clouds and shines on the earth, awakening all the sleeping creatures. In this quiet villa, a cozy cottage stands quietly, as if it is the guardian of the peaceful years.

In the backyard of the villa, there is an ancient wooden chair, every part of which reveals the traces of time. Today, a woman named Ji Yan is sitting on this wooden chair. Her face looks particularly pale in the morning light, but her big eyes reveal a firmness. She is wearing a white pajamas, and the loose sleeves gently brush her slender wrists, while her legs are casually crossed together, which looks both natural and elegant.

"Baby, why are you sitting here in the wind again? You will catch a cold." Li Qing's voice broke the tranquility of the early morning. She held a thick coat in her hand, walked quickly to Ji Yan, squatted down, and put the coat on her.

Ji Yan trembled slightly, but did not turn around, just gently shook her head. Li Qing looked at her daughter's thin shoulders and slightly trembling body, and felt so distressed that she almost cried. "Don't be afraid, baby," she comforted softly, "Mom is here."

Li Qing's hand gently stroked Ji Yan's hair, and every movement was full of endless tenderness and care. She knew that what Ji Yan needed at this time was not just a piece of clothing, but also spiritual support and comfort.

"I know mom is here." After a long time, Ji Yan spoke, her voice was a little hoarse, but unusually firm, "Mom, I will be fine."

Li Qing's eyes instantly turned red, and she nodded vigorously, tears welling up in her eyes. "Yes, baby, you will get better." Her voice was trembling, but full of strength, "We will face this together, and you will never be alone."

At this time, Ji Mingyu also came to the garden. He had just finished a meeting at the company and was exhausted, but when he saw that his wife and daughter were safe, all his fatigue disappeared. He walked to the bedside and gently held Ji Yan's hand, his eyes firm and gentle.

"Baby, are you feeling better?" Ji Mingyu asked, his voice revealing deep concern.

"I'm much better." Ji Yan repeated her previous words, but this time there was more firmness and trust in her voice.

Ji Mingyu looked at his daughter, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He turned to Li Qing, and their eyes met. Without words, they could understand each other's intentions. They knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges they would encounter in the future, as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome them.

"Mom, thank you for your company and love all the time." One day, Ji Yan sat next to Li Qing, tears flashing in her eyes, "You made me understand that no matter what difficulties I encounter, I am not alone."

Li Qing gently wiped away her daughter's tears, her eyes full of pride and relief. "Silly child, you are my pride," she said. "Seeing you getting better and better, my heart is filled with happiness."

Ji Mingyu was also watching them silently, his eyes full of love and pride. "Yes," he said, "our daughter has grown up, and we are proud of her."

Seeing that his daughter was in much better condition, Ji Mingyu mustered up the courage to ask, "Dear, Dad wants to ask you...Did you ask Zhao Jiayu to take you to the bus that dark night?"

When Ji Yan heard this question, her originally calm expression instantly collapsed. A trace of fear and confusion flashed in her eyes, as if she was struck by lightning. She shook her head and answered with a trembling voice: "No... I didn't... At that time... I was tired of dancing and went back to my seat to rest... Then... She gave me a glass of wine... Then I kept drinking because I was in a bad mood... She asked me to go to the bathroom to wash my face... But I didn't expect... Woo... Woo..."

As she spoke, Ji Yan burst into tears. She covered her face with her hands, and her shoulders trembled violently. Ji Mingyu looked at his daughter distressedly. He knew that this problem was too heavy for Ji Yan. He gently stroked his daughter's back and comforted her softly, "Okay, Dad knows. It's okay. It's all over."

He hugged his daughter tightly, trying to give her some sense of security. His chest was broad and warm, as if it could contain all the pain and sorrow. Ji Yan snuggled in her father's arms, her tears soaking his shirt. She felt extremely safe and warm, as if everything would be fine as long as her father was by her side.

After a long time, Ji Yan's emotions gradually calmed down. Ji Mingyu let her go, gently held her face, and looked into her eyes with deep and firm eyes.

He said slowly, "We got your phone in the hall, and it had records of you calling Zhao Jiayu. She insisted on sending you to the car and also received your call to report that you were safe."

When Ji Yan listened to her father's words, a hint of surprise and confusion flashed in her eyes. She shook her head and explained anxiously: "I didn't... My cell phone and bag were left on the sofa and I didn't take them to the toilet..." Her voice was full of anxiety and uneasiness, as if she was afraid of being misunderstood.

Ji Mingyu looked at his daughter's anxious look, and he couldn't help but feel bitter and angry. He knew that this problem was too heavy for Ji Yan. He stroked his daughter's hair and comforted her softly, "Don't cry, Mom and Dad believe you. We also suspect that it was Zhao Jiayu who did it, but... our influence and connections are not wide enough to get evidence to prove that it was her. Baby, I'm sorry that Mom and Dad can't seek justice for you."

Ji Yan listened to her father's words, tears welled up again. She shook her head and said with a sob: "It doesn't matter, I know mom and dad have tried very hard, thank you for always being with me. If it weren't for you, I would have gone crazy." Her voice was full of gratitude and trust, which made Ji Mingyu and Li Qing's hearts tightly clenched together.

They looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness and pain. They knew that as parents, they could not bear all this pain and suffering for their daughter. But they also understood that now was not the time to blame themselves, and they had to be strong and accompany their daughter to face this struggle together.
