Chapter 101: Meeting
Actually, even if my uncle said nothing or even displayed a stern face toward her, Lu Yun would only feel gratitude towards her aunt’s family, rather than any resentment.
Hardships are the best elixir for growth.
She had tasted all of life’s bitterness at a very young age; if she still couldn’t distinguish good from evil, understand what’s right and wrong, then she would truly be a fool. She wasn’t foolish—in fact, she was quite intelligent.
As the saying goes, heaven’s misdeeds may be forgivable, but one’s own misdeeds are mortal. She herself had caused the death of the mother who loved her most and left her father to live a life of lonely hardship. It was no wonder the people close to them didn’t take a liking to her.
Moreover, in her previous life, she wasn’t exactly a likable character. When she first arrived in Haicheng as a child, she was like a startled bird, easily frightened by anyone coming too close or speaking too loudly.
Throughout elementary and middle school, she didn’t make a single close friend. Fortunately, she was smart from a young age and did well in her studies. Even though she was somewhat reclusive, she was quite favored by the teachers.
It wasn’t until high school and university that she began to be a bit more sociable—just a bit. She was able to speak normally with others, wasn’t constantly startled, and didn’t respond to only half a sentence when others spoke ten.
But she still had no close friends.
