Little Chi Wan took over the poor woman's job, doing laundry and cooking every day, and had to endure Wang Gang's beatings.

Wang Gang would pull her hair, kick her, and sometimes even beat her with a belt.

Those days were really hard.

As she grew up, this little beauty became more and more conspicuous in the countryside, and even more terrifying things began to happen.

Wang Gang's eyes began to become lustful as he looked at her. He would forcibly hold her on his lap and kiss her face with his mouth that smelled of alcohol and sweat.

When she took a shower at night, she carefully locked the door, but when she turned her head, she saw a pair of obscene and excited eyes staring at her through the crack of the door with a lewd smile.

It was a nightmare that haunted her childhood.

One time, he brought two of his buddies home for a drink, and they jokingly asked, "Brother Wang, why don't you find a new wife?"

Wang Gang chuckled, "Isn't my new wife raised at home? I just need to raise her until she grows up."

The two friends looked at her and understood immediately, with envy on their faces, "She's so young, why don't we have such good fortune?"

She was so scared that she ran away secretly, and with trembling hands she dialed Li Lan's cell phone number on a public phone in the countryside.

The phone was connected, and hot tears fell like beads from a broken string. She cried out in helplessness and fear, "Mom... Mom, save me..."

Chi Jiao's happy and arrogant voice came from the other side, "Who are you? This is my mother's phone, not your mother's. I am her only daughter."

She was stunned.

Soon, Li Lan's gentle and loving voice came from the other end, "Little princess, today is your birthday. Come and see the pearl crown your mother bought you. Your classmates are here and are looking for you. You will perform a dance later."

Chi Jiao nodded happily, "Thank you, Mom."

It turned out that day was Chi Jiao's birthday.

She hung up the phone in despair. She didn't dare go back to Wang Gang, so she walked alone and walked into a forest.

She met the seriously injured Huo Sihan in the forest.

Huo Sihan said he would take her away.

Huo Sihan said that no one wanted her but he wanted her.

The two of them slept in each other's arms. The next morning, he had a high fever and kept muttering "Water, water..." So she ran out of the cave alone to find herbs and water to reduce her fever.

But when she returned, the cave was empty and he was gone.

She waited for him in the cave for several days. She believed that the big brother would come and take her away. She believed that the big brother would want her.

But, the beast king just came over.

The Tian Wang Gang who had been looking for her when she left home, slapped her to the ground and cursed fiercely, "You little bitch, how dare you sneak away? You are my man, you are to serve me, understand?"

He pressed her to the ground, panting heavily, and began to tear off her thin old dress. "I can't wait any longer, just wait and see how I kill you!"

At that time, she was trembling all over and her teeth were chattering. She secretly touched the branch she had been using to protect herself, and then stabbed the sharp branch tip into Wang Gang's eyes.

Wang Gang fell to the ground with blood all over his face.

He is blind in one eye.

She personally took him to court, and he was sentenced to ten years.

Chi Wan closed her eyes and freed herself from that dark past. It is said that an unhappy childhood requires a lifetime to heal, and she has been healing herself over the years.

She tried very hard to pull Xiao Chiwan out of that unbearable, painful and helpless old time.

She is saving herself.

The evening breeze was refreshing and pleasant tonight, and people walking together on the street all had smiles on their faces. Chi Wan felt a little cold, so she raised her hands and hugged herself.

…………

Chi Wan returned to the Huo family's old house. She wanted to see her grandmother.

When she arrived at Madam Huo's door, she saw Madam Huo talking to Huo Sihan.

Madam Huo said lovingly, "Si Han, Wanwan's adoptive father is coming over today. I think Wanwan is not in a good mood. You should spend more time to care for Wanwan."

Mrs. Huo sighed and said, "Wanwan was sent to the countryside when she was young. Her father passed away early, and her mother was not kind to her. I can see that Wanwan has always been lonely and longs for love."

"Although Wanwan's adoptive father was in prison for ten years, he was able to raise such a good Wanwan and even marry her to our Huo family. We, the Huo family, should be grateful to him. Look at what he needs, a house, a job, money. If you arrange it all for him, it will be equivalent to fulfilling Wanwan's filial piety."

Madam Huo gave Huo Sihan an earnest instruction.

Huo Sihan's handsome and noble face looked very gentle under the light. He nodded, "Don't worry, grandma."

Chi Wan stood outside the door, her fair eyes suddenly covered with a crystal mist. She did not go in, but turned back to her room.

…………

Huo Sihan was processing documents in the study and it was already late at night when he returned to his room.

Chi Wan had already fallen asleep, her delicate body curled up into a small ball in the quilt.

Huo Sihan came out of the shower and soon saw something on the bedside table. It was the check for one million yuan he had given to Wang Gang.

She actually got the one million check back.

Now it is placed on the bedside table to give it back to him.

Huo Sihan curled his lips and his eyes fell on Chi Wan's face.

There was a dim light on the bedside. Chi Wan slept very restlessly. She seemed to have had a nightmare. Her beautiful brows were furrowed and she was mumbling, "Mom...Mom..."

She called her mother in her dream.

The slender Yu Jie trembled, and soon big tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

she cried.

Huo Sihan was startled, then he raised his hand and gently wiped away her tears.

At this moment, Chi Wan, who was in her sleep, grabbed his hand and said, "Mom...Mom, don't go..."

Huo Sihan, "..."

She actually thought he was her mother?

What the hell?

"Chi Wan, I'm not your mother!"

He wanted to pull his hand back.

But Chi Wan restlessly pressed her little face into his palm and rubbed it flatteringly, "Mom, don't go, don't leave Wan Wan..."

Huo Sihan, "..."

He said in a bad tone, "Chi Wan, I say again, I am not your mother!"

Chi Wan, who was in her sleep, suddenly trembled with her shoulders and cried sadly, "Mom, wuwu..."

Huo Sihan, "..."

Crystal clear tears slid down her flawless white jade face. She cried like a pear blossom in the rain, which made people feel distressed.

Huo Sihan felt his heart soften. This was the first time she had cried in front of him, and he seemed... unable to bear her tears.

He didn't go to sleep on the sofa, but lifted the quilt and got on the bed. He put his other big hand on her slender back and patted it. He had never coaxed a girl like this before, so he felt a little unfamiliar. He softened his voice, "Okay, don't cry... Mom is here..."
