The quick travel journey of the cold heroine
Chapter 45: The Adopted Daughter of a Wealthy Family (1)
Shui Zhizi looked at the new client's wish and chuckled. Why is it another wish related to her brother? And the client was once an adopted daughter. What kind of fate is this?
But looking back, Shui Zhizi couldn't laugh at all.
The client is H, the adopted daughter of the Shui family. However, before the client was eighteen years old, she herself was completely unaware of this fact.
The Shui family treated her no differently from their biological son Shui Chengwen. In fact, because she was a daughter and younger, they treated her better than their biological son.
Therefore, before the client was eighteen years old, she lived a life like a princess, with a happy family and a rich life.
Until she was eighteen years old, the Shui family was framed and went bankrupt overnight. The client's adoptive parents also fell ill and passed away one after another in a short period of time, and her brother abandoned the client and disappeared.
The client's brother has been a sister-con since childhood, but during that time, he said some very harsh words to the client and then abandoned the client, because the Shui family's frame-up was directly related to the client.
The client has a childhood sweetheart named Jiang Song, whom the client met in junior high school and they grew up together. It can be said that Jiang Song is the best person to the client besides his parents and brother.
Not surprisingly, they fell in love with each other. However, Shui's parents were open-minded people, and the client had promised his parents that he would never fall in love too early, so Shui's parents did not intervene, and even treated Jiang Song well.
Jiang Song can come and go freely in the Shui family, but such a good thing can actually bring disaster.
It turned out that Jiang Song's father once bought Shui's stocks, but Shui's father was young and inexperienced. Shui's business had fallen into a trough due to poor management, and the stocks were naturally affected.
Jiang Song's father lost all his money and committed suicide. Jiang Song's mother always believed that Jiang Song's father was killed by Shui Fu.
Then, after they graduated from high school and the college entrance examination results came out, Jiang Song took advantage of the Shui family's graduation banquet for the client to sneak into Shui's father's study, obtained the Shui family's company's confidential documents, and handed them over to Shui's father's business rival, who happened to be Jiang Song's uncle, so this was a six-year-long conspiracy.
On the day when the Shui family went bankrupt, Jiang Song personally told the client's family all this. Facing the client's questioning, Jiang Song only said one sentence, "You deserve it. I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I just want the Shui family's children to suffer as much as I do."
As Jiang Song wished, the client was in great pain, and self-blame, guilt, and remorse almost drove him crazy. The client directly picked up a fruit knife and stabbed Jiang Song in public. Jiang Song stretched out his hand to block it, and one of his hands was disabled.
The client wanted to continue but was stopped by the Shui family. They didn't want to see the client go to jail.
But the client did not give up. She no longer cared about going to jail or not. Or she would rather go to jail, as she believed that this was the only way to atone for her sins.
So that night the client rushed into Jiang Song's house and almost killed Jiang Song, but he almost did it. In the end, the client was taken back from the police station by his parents.
But the client had been trying to attack Jiang Song. Later, Shui's parents realized that if she continued like this, something would happen to the client sooner or later, so they told the client the truth about her life experience.
The client is actually the child of a friend of Shui's parents. Back then, their friend Bai Chong and his family of three had been in trouble many times because of family infighting. When the infighting was at its worst, Bai Chong's wife was already eight months pregnant with her second child.
In order to help his wife Su Yao escape disaster, Bai Chong wanted to send her to the Shui family, but something happened on the way and almost resulted in two deaths.
Although it was safe in the end, Bai Chong was afraid that he would not be able to protect his wife and daughter so he wanted to keep them in the Shui family.
However, Su Yao insisted on standing by her husband's side. After weighing the pros and cons, they decided to keep the client, who was not even a month old, in the Shui family and left a large sum of money.
They made an agreement with the Shui family that if they could get through this crisis safely, they would come to pick up the client and take him home, and the money they left behind would be an investment in the Shui family's business.
If something happens to their family in the internal struggle, the client will be the daughter of the Shui family from then on, and the money left behind will be the client's support.
As a result, the internal strife of the Bai family took five years to finally come to an end. During these five years, Bai Chong's family could be said to have experienced a thrilling life.
Their son Bai Yao was kidnapped twice during the five years between the ages of six and ten, despite their extremely strict precautions, so they have never dared to take the client home.
Later, Bai Chong won, but the client was five years old at that time and she already had memories.
The Bai Chong couple tried it before. As long as they let the client leave the Shui family, the client would cry heart-wrenchingly in less than a day. The little guy would even try every means to go home and almost get lost. After that, he would hide when he saw the Bai Chong couple.
In the end, they had no choice but to keep the client in the Shui family, and gave the money to the Shui family for investment. It was that money that allowed the Shui family to overcome the crisis caused by Shui's father's inexperience.
The Bai Chong couple originally wanted to announce the client's identity, let her temporarily live in the Shui family as an adopted daughter, and then take her back when she grew up.
But at this time, Bai Chong has not yet completely established his foothold in the Bai family. If he cannot take his daughter back and protect her under his nose, then his daughter's identity cannot be exposed, and the Shui family may not be able to protect a daughter whose identity is exposed.
So the idea was shelved.
Bai Chong and his wife also wanted to give the Shui family alimony every year, but the Shui family refused. One reason was that the money that Bai Chong had left was enough for the client's alimony, and this money helped the Shui family get through the difficult times, and the Shui family was also able to let the client live a good life.
The second reason is that if there are such financial transactions every year, the Bai family will inevitably notice this.
After the matter was settled, the only connection between the client and the Bai family was the expensive birthday gifts they received every year.
The Bai Chong couple also tried to get closer to the client, but the client was still brooding over the fact that he had been taken away and had not been able to go home for a whole day, and he tried to avoid the Bai Chong couple whenever possible.
Moreover, the older the client gets, the more she can feel that the Bai Chong couple's attitude towards her is strange, and the way they look at her is strange.
Although the client could clearly feel that the Bai Chong couple had no ill will towards her, she still avoided the Bai family, fearing that if she was not careful, she would be sent to the Bai family by her parents like when she was a child.
After all, his family is no match for the Bai family.
The matter of letting the client return to the Bai family was delayed again and again.
Before one crisis is over, another crisis arises. The client hasn't recovered from the fact that he caused his family to go bankrupt yet, and he is even more mentally devastated when he receives news like this.
