Chapter 2 - 1: Awareness_2
There had been times of downfall, times of pride, but she could never succeed in anything. All these years, she’s been deeply repressed, unable to forget the man who was so good to her.
When she was with him, she disliked him in countless ways. After they parted and she met different kinds of men, the more she compared, the more she realized how good that person had been to her. But... she could never go back. Whenever the night was quiet, the regret in her heart would make her feel immense pain.
She missed Mom so much that she returned home five years ago, only to find everything had changed. Her brother rarely came home after finishing college, and her mom had passed away the fifth year after she left.
Lin Wan regretted it endlessly, crying in front of Mom’s grave for a whole day.
She learned from her uncle that her brother had gone to Z City, so she came here too, wanting to see her brother.
Her brother used to adore her, accommodating her in everything. Right now, she missed her brother’s doting gaze immensely but feared seeing his resentful eyes. Lin Wan moved around the city for a long time, knowing where her brother was, yet she couldn’t summon the courage to meet him.
...
Lin Wan took tools from her rented room and headed straight for South City Road.
She had never lived in such a grand and mysterious courtyard but knew it was very strict. "I am a cleaner going to clean Building Eight," Lin Wan explained to the person on duty.
"Hold on, I’ll make a call home."
This family is surnamed Han. Every time she heard the surname Han over the years, she would subconsciously look up.
