Chapter 1: I Still Have Family After All

  In the blink of an eye, 8 years have passed. The little girl at that time has also transformed into a pure and lovely beauty.

  But at that time, the young mother had also grown old, and time waits for no one!!

  The sky was not as bright and sunny as it usually was. It was dull and overcast, just like Han Xue's mood...

  The fifth floor of Wenyan Xiaoqu.

  In a room, there were continuous sobbing sounds drifting out from the window...

  "Waaah, Mommy, don't go! What am I going to do if you leave?! Waaah!" I threw myself onto Mom's bed and cried.

  "Xue Lian, don't cry." My mother stroked my hair and said softly, "Mom's illness can't be cured."

  "Mom, I don't want to be alone in this world."

  "Xue Lian, after Mom left, you're not alone, you know? In this world, you still have family!"

  I wiped away tears and looked at mom in confusion: "Mom, are you saying I have other relatives?"

  "Alright," said Mother, lifting her head. "After I'm gone, you go to H City to find your father and your four sisters."

  "What? Didn't you tell me before that my dad died in a car accident when I was young? How is this possible? And four older sisters?"

  "Your father's name is Han Linhui. After I leave, you must go find your father and tell him this from me: Back then, Lin Yun's appearance wasn't something I intentionally brought about, and as for the 500,000 yuan, it was for my sister's corneal transplant surgery... At that time, I didn't explain clearly because I had my reasons; if he can't forgive me, that's okay."

  "Mom, don't worry, I will." I said, holding my mother's hand.

  "Well, I'm relieved... and at ease. After I leave, you must take good care of yourself." After saying this, the mother let out a sigh of relief, as if all her worries had vanished in an instant, then she closed her eyes forever.

  "Mom, mom...... waaahhh, wake up! Mom, don't go... mom, wake up!!!" I lay beside my mom's bed, tears falling like they would never end, drop by drop onto her hand.

  "Mom, I have to leave now, I'm going to find Dad, and from now on, I won't be able to accompany you anymore. If you miss me, just send a dream to me, and at night, we'll reunite in my dreams. In the future, I will come often to visit you, Mom, goodbye..." I stood in front of my mother's grave, sadly saying this to the tombstone.

  "The plane to H City is about to take off, please board the plane for those who have not yet boarded. The plane to H City is about to take off..." The airport broadcast repeated this sentence. I pulled my luggage, holding my plane ticket in one hand, and ran towards the entrance.

  Two hours later, I arrived in H city from A city.

  "In such a big city, finding someone is like looking for a needle in the ocean!" I complained as I gazed at this unfamiliar city. Since getting off the plane, I had been walking around for several streets already. Alas, where should I go now? I simply sat down by the roadside, who cares about being ladylike or not, rest is what matters!!

  "Hey, finding someone won't happen overnight, let's find a place to stay first!" After resting for a while, I stood up, pulled my luggage and headed forward.

  "Hey, auntie, are we there yet? We've been walking for almost half an hour and still haven't arrived?" I said to the big auntie in front of me with a "snake waist".

  "You're tired from just walking such a short distance? Well, look at young people these days! Although I'm a bit older, my body is still very strong." The aunt said as she lifted her left arm to show me her biceps.

  Brrr!!!!!!

  "Yes, yes." I nodded and bowed, saying words that went against my own will.

  Turned a corner, walked past a small alley, turned another small lane, finally arrived at the destination. If not, I would really suspect that this aunt was a human trafficker who sold underage children.

  "Ah, where's my house? This is already the 3rd floor." I said, dragging my luggage and sweating profusely. Although I was a bit excited about what my future room would be like, but... I'm really exhausted~~~~~

  "Almost there, almost there, we'll be arriving soon." Auntie replied with a "cute" smile on her face.

  After N minutes...

  "Wow, this room design is so cool!" I excitedly rushed into the room, throwing my luggage casually, "Thank you, auntie... no, I mean, aunt."

  "Little girl, the rent here isn't cheap! 2,000 yuan a month, pay on the 28th of every month." The aunt said to me while leaning against the door.

  "Oh dear, I know! Auntie, don't you have something else to do? Then hurry up and leave!" I said as I escorted the still bewildered aunt out of the door.

  "Hmm" haha, OK settled! I'm going on a date with my lovely bed now!

  "Wow, another great day ~~" Before 6 o'clock in the morning, I got up, haha, I'm an early riser and early sleeper! I pulled open the purple curtains, a ray of sunlight came in, shining on my face.

  "En, today I'm going to report to the new college."

  "Hey, I heard that the Royal Noble Academy has a hefty tuition fee. The students there are all from wealthy families. My landlady is really enthusiastic, she even called me in the middle of the night to tell me: "Miss Han, I asked a friend to help you find a school, it's the Ling Wu Academy, remember to go register tomorrow! Ah, don't thank me, just get some rest, goodnight!" Ugh, if I didn't have a heart that couldn't bear to refuse people, I wouldn't want to go to that academy that's full of the smell of copper. I only have 50,000 yuan left now, my mom's savings before she passed away were only 40,000 yuan, and the remaining 10,000 yuan was what I managed to save up with great difficulty. Before I find my dad, I need to be frugal."

  "Excuse me, sir, do you know where Yueliang Academy is?" I asked a taxi driver.

  "Huh? Where are you going, miss? Oh, I see. You want to go somewhere? I'll take you there!" The taxi driver was taken aback for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, he regained his smile and looked at me with a grin.

  I know I look cute, but don't stare at me like that! I'm getting goosebumps all over the place! "En, thank you, Master."

  After getting up in the morning, I asked several people on the road before asking where the Yu Wu Ling Academy was. I couldn't let go of this teacher...

  "Master, hasn't it arrived yet?" I asked anxiously, looking at the crystal watch on my right wrist.

  "Don't be impatient, we'll arrive soon. This is a rare opportunity! Not many people know about it, you're lucky to have met me."

  "Can you hurry up a bit?"

  "Don't worry, just turn around that corner and you'll be there."

  ……

  "Little girl, we're here. This is the Yanwu Ling ice cream shop, short for 'Yan Dance Ling'. The driver uncle pointed to the colorful store behind him and said."

  "Huh?" I opened the car door and looked at the uncle in front of me... Ah~~~~~ I really wanted to kill him, driving with me for so long, and actually... actually arriving at an ice cream shop...... Bear with it, bear with it, Han Xue Lian, you must hold back. After calming down my impulse, I put on a sweet smile again and said to the driver uncle: "Uncle, I'm supposed to go to Ming Wu Ling College, not the ice cream shop, can you please take me back?"

  "Huh? So that's how it is! Ah... I thought my wife's ice cream shop was really famous outside!! Ah!" The driver uncle sighed.

  So he's opening a store for his wife and pulling in customers!!!!! A cold sweat drips from my forehead~~~~

  "Master, I'm on my first day of school, can you please take me back to where we were just now? This place is too remote, I don't know how to get back?" I looked pitifully at the driver uncle in front of me who was sighing, ah, my acting skills are really too good. If I squeeze out another tear, I wouldn't believe he would refuse such a lovely girl like me... But... Reality turned out to be a 180-degree turn."

  The driver uncle looked me up and down, then spat out a sentence that made me want to commit suicide: "Do you still want me to take you back? Ah, little girl, sorry! You know my car is also old, it's been turning so many corners just now, I'm afraid it can't handle it! Besides, I'm not familiar with this place either... Hehe, hehe, really sorry! ... Ah, ah, it hurts so much! Little girl, my old illness has relapsed, really sorry!" After finishing speaking, the driver uncle deliberately covered his stomach and rushed into his wife's dancing ice cream shop.

  How hateful, to actually abandon me at the last minute...... leaving me alone here, what am I supposed to do? I'm completely and utterly unfamiliar with this place!!!!! Waaa~~~~~ I wandered back and forth relying on that tiny bit of memory left in my mind...
