Chapter 364 Extra Chapter - Niao Niao (Part 1)
villa.
Niao Niao grew up in a beautiful and luxurious villa.
The villa's walls are pure white, and the interior is also painted pure white, making it very beautiful and clean, with a pure quality that reflects sunlight.
But Niao Niao has never seen her mother since she was a child.
She asked her father, who was busy with his company, but all she got was an impatient, perfunctory reply.
Your mother has passed away.
While organizing the documents, Dad said, "She had a severe hemorrhage when she gave birth to you."
Niao Niao stood still in place.
She clutched the candy tightly in her hand, the sticky, sweaty feeling on her palms making her somewhat fearful.
Do you know what massive bleeding means?
Her brother's voice came from behind her. Niao Niao shook her body and slowly turned around.
My brother still has that same disdainful attitude, which, to put it nicely, is the arrogance of a rich person, but to put it bluntly, is rude and disgusting.
But Niao Niao dared not say it.
She is twelve years old this year. For the first ten years of her life, she lived and moved around within the scope of her brother's permission. She was not even allowed to go out to school.
Fortunately, at this time, Niao Niao didn't know what going to school was.
"idiot."
The older brother looked at the blank look on Niao Niao's face and sneered disdainfully.
"I knew you had no idea what massive bleeding meant. And rightly so, what could an illiterate person who's never been to school know? All they can do is stay at home and grow flowers and look at grass."
"How can you talk to your sister like that?"
Dad loosened his collar, grabbed the documents, and hurried out the door. He glanced at my brother, said something indifferently, and then added:
"Have you mastered everything I was told to learn today?"
The older brother paused for a moment, then coughed and said, "That's about it, we've read most of them."
"Study hard and watch carefully," Dad sighed, patting his brother's hair.
"From now on, you'll be in charge of everything at home. How can you take over your father's position if you don't study hard?"
"understood."
The older brother responded with a sound of agreement.
Dad is gone.
Only faint murmurs remained in the study, some of which were not fully understood.
She looked up somewhat blankly and met her brother's eyes, which concealed his malice and irritation.
Niao Niao couldn't help but take a step back.
Her brother noticed her retreating movement, his gaze suddenly turned cold, and taking advantage of his height, he grabbed her hair.
"Brother, it hurts."
Niao Niao's eyes were tightly closed in pain, and tears slid down her cheeks.
"Are you thinking that your dad will like you?"
Her brother lowered his head and viciously pulled her hair, then reached out and patted her face.
"Don't even think about it, it's impossible. Dad will never like someone like you who'll be thrown out sooner or later. You'd better behave yourself," the older brother sneered.
"Otherwise, I'll have Dad throw you out right now."
Niao Niao was so frightened that she dared not cry anymore.
When her brother clapped his hands and left, only Niao Niao was left in the study, sitting on the carpet and crying.
After a long while, Niao Niao wiped her eyes and stood up from the stall, clutching the candy in her hand and looking at her father's desk.
Dad's desk was very big, piled high with many books that Niao Niao couldn't understand. She wasn't very literate, and her father and brother wouldn't let her learn them.
But Niao Niao is very clever.
Some of the maids occasionally hired by the family would secretly teach her some words if they couldn't stand it.
Over time, Niao Niao learned to write her own name and recognize some simple characters.
Now, she is lying on her father's desk, her eyes blurry with tears as she reaches out to grab the books on it.
Although I don't understand it very well, I can occasionally become familiar with some of the characters and then secretly write them down so that I can tell the older girls at the orphanage when I visit them.
Thinking of her older sister in the orphanage, Niao Niao's eyes brightened.
She looked down and flipped through the book, which she couldn't understand most of, memorizing the characters word by word.
This is Niao Niao's secret.
A secret that no one knows.
--------
It's time to visit the orphanage every six months.
Niao Niao was led out by her father, who had the maid dress her up as a little princess.
The entrance of the villa.
The older brother, dressed in a suit, impatiently fiddled with his hair and turned around when he heard footsteps.
"Dad, you're so slow!" The older brother took a step forward and glared at Niao Niao from an angle where his father couldn't see him.
Niao Niao was so frightened that she dared not speak.
She looked beautiful today, her long hair flowing smoothly over her shoulders, adorned with a pretty rose-red hair clip that shimmered softly in the sunlight.
Dad's expression remained gentle as he walked up to his older brother and patted him on the back.
"When we get to the orphanage, try to hide that expression on your face," Dad said.
There are a lot of reporters over there, don't embarrass me.
"……I know, I know."
The older brother sniffed and bent down to sit inside the car as the maid opened the door.
Dad turned around and bent down at the right moment, "Niao Niao, you have to be very obedient this time, okay?"
Niao Niao looked up at her father and felt that his face looked very strange.
It's probably because the sunlight wasn't shining on Dad's face.
Niao Niao thought.
But she still nodded obediently.
"Good girl." Her father reached out and patted her head, speaking to her gently in the same way he would to her brother.
"As long as Niao Niao is obedient and doesn't say anything out of line when the reporters ask her questions, Daddy will give her lots of candy when he comes back."
"understand?"
Even though her father's hand on her head felt very warm, Niao Niao felt her own hand begin to tremble.
She nodded quickly, "I know, Dad, I'll be good."
“That’s a good child.”
Dad straightened up, straightened his slightly wrinkled suit jacket, walked to the car, and sat down next to his brother.
Niao Niao was seated in the passenger seat.
As the car drove along, Niao Niao gazed at the roses she had just cut from the flowerbed and let out a small, gentle breath.
...My sister seems to like roses.
She gazed at the scenery rushing past the car window, nervously clutching the rose in her hand.
After about three and a half hours, the car finally stopped.
The driver got out of the car first, opened the back door, and then bent down slightly to wait to the side.
Dad and my brother came out.
At the same time, the clicking sounds of cameras taking pictures were accompanied by white light.
Niao Niao, sitting in the passenger seat, took a deep breath and showed her father's favorite smile.
The car door was opened.
Her father's gentle and refined face appeared before her, and he looked at her with the same smile as before.
"Niao Niao, we've arrived."
Dad said, "Come on, let Dad and your brother hold your hands together."
The older brother smiled and extended his hand.
Only at this time would her brother look at her with the same eyes he used to look at his sister.
Niao Niao suppressed her uncontrollable smile and fear, and reached out her hand.
The next second after getting out of the car.
Her gaze was drawn to the group of people behind the reporter not far away.
They were the children from the orphanage who were about to be sponsored by their fathers.
