The Zibaogen surgery was very successful, and the familyâs hanging hearts were relieved.
After the surgery, he rested in the hospital for a while. There were no major problems, and the doctor announced that he could be discharged.
His discharge meant that Zi Xin had to go home with him.
The night before she left, Zi Xin knelt in front of her parents and cried,âXin Xin is unfilial. I donât want to go back to that poor mountain village. Even if I canât be the daughter of the Ji family, I donât plan to leave this city. I already have someone I like here. I will fight with him.â
âYour father hasnât fully recovered yet. Someone has to take care of him at home. As his only daughter, how can you say such a thing?â Qi Shuying refused to allow her to stay. â They say that raising a son is good for old age. Your father and I donât have a son, so we have to rely on you in the future. If you stay in this city, what will happen to your father and me?â
âWhat do you want me to do if I go back to that village? My reputation in the village is ruined. This is a new beginning.â Zi Xin refused to go home.
âWhat a sin! What a sin! How good can you be if you stay in this city like this? I heard from your auntie that the man you know has been investigated. Heâs not a good person. Youâll be ruined if you stay with them!â
âWonât you know if heâs a good person or not when you meet him? Iâll let him see you. Iâll go find him now!â
Zi Xin rushed out of the hospital and went straight to Han Lang.
However, when she found the rental apartment, she realized that it had already been vacated.
âWhereâs the man here?â she asked the landlord.
âA man? Heâs long gone!â The landlord said, â You want to rent a house? â
âWe rented this house before. I want to ask you, where did that man go?â
âI heard that he has a new girlfriend and is no longer here.â
Zi Xinâs heart instantly turned cold.âDid he leave any words?â
âNo, I havenât.â The landlord asked, â Are you related to him? I have something to tell you. This man is very capable. The girlfriend he found drives a small car! Her family was rich, so she took a fancy to this manâ¦Theyâve already bought a big house. Who would want this small rented house?â
Zi Xin finally understood. She had been abandoned. Han Lang didnât like her as a person, but her money and her identity.
Now that these things were gone, he had left her.
After leaving the rented house, Zi Xin sat alone on the road and cried for a long time.
She really didnât want to go back to that small village. At this moment, she thought of Zi Wan.
So, she went to the school again. Under the moonlight, the two sisters talked about this problem.
âCan you forgive me? I want to live in this city, but I donât have the ability to do so alone. If you still acknowledge me as your sister, can you help me?â
How arrogant she was back then, how humble she was now.
Zi Wan looked at her, but this time, she didnât sympathize with her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âFor so many years, I always thought that you were devoted to me. I didnât expect that youâve been thinking about this ⦠Iâm sorry, I canât help you this time. No matter what, I canât help you. I canât forgive you, and I donât want you to stay in this city.â
Staying here would only add to her troubles. If she returned to Huaxi Village, she would be able to take good care of her adoptive father. This would be good for the whole family.
