Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie-Chapter 963: You Must Be Remembering Wrong!
"But those last two big slaps you gave, they were really beautiful, absolutely hit me right in the heart!" Ji Weitian picked up the drink brought by the waiter and took a couple of big gulps, letting out a long breath.
Refreshing!
Kali looked at her smug little expression and laughed along, "Of course, whatever you say, we’ve been hanging out on the same food street since we were kids, can’t lose our Heroine Ji’s style. Watching you scold Li Jiao, it really took me back to when I was bullied by some punks on the street as a kid, and you stood there, hands on hips, cursing them out."
"Really? Stop talking nonsense, how could a gentle and sweet girl like me have been scolding people since she was little? You must be remembering wrong." Ji Weitian hugged her drink and shifted a bit to the side, denying it outright. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Time flies, in the blink of an eye.
Talking about childhood, their eyes both softened.
Kali’s family was of modest means; her parents, like Shen Yixian and his wife, also owned a small shop on the food street.
Later, her father’s health declined and he needed hospitalization and surgery. At that time, Kali was still in school and no one could take care of her father, so her mother had to close the shop temporarily.
With no source of income, the hospital fees were a constant drain.
The family’s savings quickly dwindled, but her father’s illness didn’t improve. During those toughest times, Kali even considered dropping out of school. Eventually, with the help of relatives and friends, and her mother finding a cleaning job at the hospital to earn some extra money and take care of her father, they barely managed to get by.
During that time, it was Shen Yixian and Lin Ci who stepped in to pose as her parents for Kali’s school meetings.
Worried that Kali’s mother was too occupied with her father to care for her, Shen Yixian and Lin Ci had Kali go home with Ji Weitian after school.
For quite a while, Kali lived together with Ji Weitian.
The two girls grew up together.
Initially, Kali was timid, bullied on the streets and too scared to make a sound, relying on the shorter Ji Weitian to stand up and scold them back.
Later, after her father’s passing, it was left to just her and her mother to rely on each other. Without the family’s pillar, Kali began to gradually toughen up to protect her mother.
Eventually, no one dared to bully her. The Ji Weitian who used to always protect her, instead became someone she protected.
If anyone dared to bully Ji Weitian, Kali would confront them fiercely.
Now they’ve grown up and their lives are quite good individually, but Ji Weitian knows that Kali has always been uneasy about those days of living hand-to-mouth under someone else’s roof.
So after graduating, she’s been working extremely hard.
No matter how grueling, she’s willing to do the work as long as it pays. At her busiest, she held four jobs at once.
A true, workaholic superwoman.
Other girls might spend their earnings on pretty clothes, bags, and shoes, but Kali saves most of her money after taking care of her mother.
Ji Weitian advised her to take better care of herself, but Kali just smiled.
"I’m not being hard on myself. I just don’t ever want to go back to that powerless life."
Kali doesn’t lack money now; she lives well on her own capabilities.
Yet, the sudden appearance of He Feichen’s fiancée and his mother seemed to tear apart the fortress of strength she thought she had built, dragging her back into the dust.
No matter how hard she tried to change her fate, it seemed fate never intended to treat her kindly.
With just a simple sentence, others could easily dismiss her years of effort and define her life.
