All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human-Chapter 278: Correcting the Unfortunate Life of a Girl (2)
Qiann Yan pulled out her phone, which displayed that today was August 10th, 9 a.m.
She carefully recalled that this time was the summer after the high school entrance exams. In the original owner’s memory, it was near the start of high school when her stepfather did something bad to her.
However, the current environment was very different from the original owner’s memory, and she needed to think carefully about what exactly was going on.
The original owner could never lie; the other party’s soul was close to collapsing, clinging to life perhaps with the last breath of stubbornness, unwilling to have her soul fly and scatter just like that.
Qiann Yan decided to go back to her room to sort through the original owner’s memories and see if she could discover anything useful.
The original owner’s mom and stepfather were both at work at this time, so she was the only one at home.
As Qiann Yan passed the kitchen, though she originally intended to return to her room, she turned on her toes and headed straight to the kitchen.
"They left me breakfast." Qiann Yan uncovered the pot. Inside was a bowl of porridge being kept warm, a small dish of pickles, half a cob of corn, and an egg.
This breakfast was clearly prepared with care.
Seeing the food, Qiann Yan felt a bit hungry and didn’t hesitate to bring it to the table to eat.
As she ate the warm breakfast, she continued to sort through the memories.
The memories were unpleasant; if it were an ordinary person, they might not be able to bear such dark memories. Fortunately, this was Qiann Yan, and it didn’t have much of an impact on her.
She started from when the original owner was very young and found that the original owner indeed hadn’t done anything wrong. The father’s death was truly an accident and had nothing to do with her.
Her mom hated her, her grandmother called her a burden, her stepfather was a vicious wolf, and her grandparents seemed not to like her. Anyone she knew, as long as they interacted with her a few times, would not like her.
It was as if she was born to be disliked.
Logically, being abandoned by the world like this would be unbearable for an ordinary person. Yet the original owner lived to be over forty.
No, the original owner wasn’t entirely hated by the world; in fact, there was one person who was her spiritual support.
Whenever the original owner couldn’t hold on, just talking to this person gave her infinite courage to live on.
It was also this person who gave the original owner the courage to persevere whenever she was about to give up on life. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
This person was the original owner’s aunt, Shang Ruqi.
In the original owner’s short life of over forty years, she hadn’t met Shang Ruqi many times; most of their communication was via video, email, phone, and online.
If not for Shang Ruqi’s existence, the original owner might have been gone during that summer when she was fifteen.
Shang Ruqi wasn’t in the country; she had settled abroad many years ago and wasn’t very close to her sister Shang Ruoya, the original owner’s mother.
In their calls, Shang Ruqi would occasionally help her scold Shang Ruoya.
Regarding the original owner being bullied by her stepfather, Shang Ruqi knew as well. She even made a special trip back to handle the matter, intending to help get her stepfather imprisoned.
But the Shang Family stopped her; in the original owner’s memory, the Shang Family was very unreasonable. When they knew Shang Ruqi wanted to intervene, the original owner’s grandparents even threatened to jump off a building, saying they’d jump to their deaths if she interfered further.
Qiann Yan remembered Shang Ruqi holding the original owner and crying for a long time, blaming herself constantly for being useless. The original owner, seeing her grandparents already stepping out the window, was filled with despair and finally gave up the struggle.
Qiann Yan continued analyzing the memories when her phone suddenly rang. She looked at the caller ID and found it was an overseas call.
