Chapter 75: The Past
Bai Su thought about her temperament and reluctantly proposed another condition, speaking with a bit of grievance, "You promised me that if I helped Auntie wake up, you would answer one of my questions."
His pitiful tone made it impossible for Rong Zhi to refuse with a cold face.
Rong Zhi remained expressionless for a while, then curled her lips indifferently.
"You want to know, huh," she returned to her nonchalant demeanor from their first meeting, speaking with a playful drawl, smiling like a lazy fox, "You must have had a great childhood."
Bai Su was slightly stunned, pursing his lips without answering.
Rong Zhi didn’t care about his reaction and continued, "As for me, you know, I was the child the Rong Family lost for eighteen years. Maybe the heavens thought I was too pitiful and couldn’t bear to let me freeze to death in winter, so they let my mom pick me up and take me home."
At that time, He Songzhi was still young and beautiful. On the way, she picked up a baby, almost frozen to death in the winter, and felt it was a gift from heaven. She took the child back to her hometown to raise.
"Then my mom got married, oh, to Rong Fengmian’s biological father."
He Songzhi and Rong Wei tied the knot, and at first, they lived quite happily. Even though He Songzhi brought along Rong Zhi, this baggage, Rong Wei did not mind. But until Rong Fengmian was born and Rong Zhi grew up, showing her temperament, Rong Wei started to resent her presence more and more.
At that time, the family was quite poor, living in a small village, and Rong Wei had the typical male chauvinism of rural men. He began to find all sorts of faults with He Songzhi, insulting Rong Zhi and wanting to send her away.
