This villain has become a ghost

Chapter 60 Desire

The heart seemed to be bound by cold iron chains, unable to beat freely.

By the way, what did mom say that day?

"Be patient, hold on for a few more years. When mom and dad make some money, we'll definitely compensate you..."

Then just be patient.

She was naturally smart and studied very hard. Not only did she get top grades, she also taught herself all her future courses, becoming a so-called "child prodigy" in the eyes of her teachers and classmates.

She endured those difficult and depressing days one by one.

The looks of others, the harsh insults, the constant cold violence, the loneliness day after day...

Once you get used to it, you can ignore it, pretend to be obedient, and then everything will be fine.

Later, when she entered junior high school, she asked her teacher for accommodation and gradually moved away from that home.

She worked part-time to pay for her studies in high school. Even though she knew her parents would support her college education, she still wanted to earn her tuition through her own efforts.

…She doesn’t want to be a burden, she doesn’t want to be a nuisance.

Even though she knew she had done nothing and her parents' suffering was not caused by her, she didn't want to trouble them anymore.

She is not a loner and can get along well with her classmates. To others, she is a warm and cheerful girl who can chat with everyone.

But she has never had a real friend.

She never told anyone about her.

...because it seems like nothing really happened.

She has grown up safely, she is not missing any limbs, and her grades are always top-notch. It would be really hypocritical to complain about the past.

Later... she was admitted to the top university in the country. Her parents were overjoyed to be the provincial top student and they praised her to everyone they met.

But her heart was as calm as water, without a single ripple.

After leaving that small county town and getting away from that depressing and dull home, her life became richer. The people she met in college were all of extremely high quality, and it was comfortable and natural to get along with them.

She is obsessed with her studies and is far ahead in her professional courses. She also often does things she likes. She likes reading and literature. She also has an excellent memory and wants to read all kinds of books.

She originally... hadn't planned to go home.

Until her freshman year, her grandfather passed away.

She hasn't seen her grandmother or her parents for a long time.

The old man, who was originally slightly plump, looked haggard and hunched over. His body was extremely thin due to illness, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

Her father and mother's faces were also covered with wrinkles and they were thin. When they saw her, their eyes suddenly turned red and they held her hands and cried uncontrollably.

The naughty little boy from the past has grown into a tall and thin teenager.

When he saw her, he scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Sister, long time no see."

He whispered, "Sister, I'm sorry. I was ignorant when I was little, and I seemed to have been bullying you. After I realized that it was wrong, I couldn't find a chance to apologize to you."

...Because she is either in school or working part-time, she doesn't want to go home.

Hearing this, she could only remain silent.

Grandpa’s death was a huge blow to Grandma. She lost her appetite, was sick, and had no one to take care of her.

Her father has always doted on her since she was a child, but he seems to be more filial to his mother.

He wiped away his tears, his eyes gleaming with longing, and he trembled as he held her hand and said:

"Yunyun, Dad and Mom's business is out of town right now, so they might not be able to come. Since you're on summer vacation right now, could you take care of Grandma for Dad?"

"Dad knows you may not like her very much, but she is your family after all."

Yue Liuyun said calmly, "I have to go for internship and don't have time. Also, why don't you let Yue Lin take care of her?"

He said: "Yue Lin is a boy after all, he is careless, how can he do these kinds of care work..."

Yue Liuyun's heart turned cold again.

The father in front of her had a slightly hunched back, a thin face, and sunken eye sockets. He was completely different from the tall man in her memory who lifted the little girl onto his shoulders and took her around to play.

The mother in her memory was a gentle and somewhat cowardly woman. She remembered that she was beautiful, but now she has become an ordinary middle-aged woman with a yellow complexion and wrinkles.

The look they gave her was still gentle and loving, but the words they spoke were so pedantic that it was annoying.

Why.

Why should this be so.

What does this have to do with her? Why should she be morally blackmailed?

They have low education, little culture and old-fashioned ideas. Why should they impose it on her?

Seeing her face getting worse, Yue Lin said, "Sister has her own things to do, I'll take care of grandma."

The old woman lying on the bed whimpered a few times, stretched out her old hands, and her cloudy eyes were slightly filled with tears. She moaned, "Yunyun, Yunyun..."

The mother sighed and said, "Go see your grandmother. Old people are all pitiful. It's not easy for her either."

"She's been talking about you these days, asking if you're doing well and if you have enough to eat and wear warmly..."

Four pairs of eyes stared at her, and in an extremely pitiful and humble manner, they forced her to forget what happened in her childhood and forced her to forgive the old man lying on the bed.

It's not easy for her either.

Yeah.

But didn't you say that when you got married, she was always targeting you?

Now I forgive him.

Yue Liuyun originally thought that after she came back, if they used love to morally blackmail her again, she would definitely leave them speechless.

But looking at those old and pitiful faces, and the nervous young man, the words suddenly got stuck in my throat and I couldn't speak.

Wow.

Awesome.

It seems like everyone in this room is a good person, a Chinese-style happy ending, with everyone shaking hands and making peace, then throwing flowers and hugging each other and crying bitterly...

She hated this.

So disgusting.

She never denied their love.

But this love, which was so heavy that it was suffocating, became a burden to her.

Her parents have indeed worked very hard over the years. They were reluctant to eat or use the best things and gave them all to her and her brother.

Their love is real.

The hurt she suffered was real.

Chinese-style guilt-based education is indeed a grand brainwashing.

She was almost brainwashed.

She turned and left without even looking at the old man on the bed.

She didn't attend this funeral.

She has worked hard for so long and now she has the capital to be willful.
