Chapter 10: Hope and Despair (1)

  Just as Cheng Huanlei thought she would be slapped to death, a low and solemn voice pierced through her blurry consciousness, and the non-stop slapping on her face also stopped at the moment he spoke.

  Cheng Huanrui's hair was still being pulled by Li Mama, her head held high and tilted back, a flash of excitement in her heart, with a hint of brightness at the bottom of her eyes. That expectant gaze looked towards the man standing at the staircase entrance.

  He spoke up, the man she called Dad spoke up. In his heart, he was actually still wondering if this girl was really his daughter or not?

  Longing for fatherly love, even though she had long learned not to expect it, but when Lei Zhengdong opened his mouth to stop her, Cheng Huanlei still inexplicably moistened the corners of her eyes, and her heart was also overwhelmed by that powerful force.

  "Dad......Dad......"

  Her lips moved silently, uttering two words, and as she spoke, Cheng Huanlei coughed violently, the sound pulling at the wound on her cheek and tugging at her tightly pulled hair, but the pain seemed insignificant under the warmth that filled her heart.

  The pain doesn't seem to matter anymore. If getting slapped can get Dad's attention, is this warmth worth it?

  "Lei Zhendong, you're still speaking up for this little scoundrel."

  Xu Peifen's face stiffened when she heard Lei Zhendong speak, his interruption was like slapping her in the face in public. She wanted to teach this little slut a lesson, but Lei Zhendong actually stopped her, had he also been enchanted by this little slut's face?

  The perfectly manicured fingers pointed at Lei Zhen Dong, and the well-made-up face twisted into a grotesque grimace.

  As for Xu Peifen's words, Lei Zhendong's mouth curled up with a soothing smile, and he said in a moderate tone: "Peifen, Wenwen still needs to rely on her."

  Xu Peifen heard Lei Zhengdong's explanation and finally swallowed the dissatisfied anger. She took another look at Cheng Huanlei, and in the end, she silently made a gesture to Li Ma. If it weren't for Xiwen's life still needing her, she would have gotten rid of this little slut long ago. Just looking at her face makes her feel disgusted.

  The sound of slippers was very loud, followed by the sound of going upstairs.

  At the command of Xu Peifen, Li Ma's hand also suddenly loosened as Xu Peifen turned around, and Cheng Hanlei fell softly to the cold ground.

  Is it cold?

  It must be heartless.

  It seemed that the footsteps could be heard in my ears, and everyone had left. Finally, I didn't know who turned off the lights, and I heard Li Ma's last words: "Don't pretend to be dead there, get into the room for me! If you're one minute late tomorrow morning, see how I'll deal with you!"

  Those threatening words were right next to her ear, but everything seemed so far away from her.

  If there were no expectations, the heart would not ache.

  Her cheeks were burning with a fiery pain, and her lips curled up in a faintly sorrowful smile.

  Cheng Huanrui, you entered this family at the age of five, so you should understand what position you are in.

  At the age of eight, you were taken to the hospital, lying on the operating table, enduring excruciating pain, listening to him comforting another daughter while completely ignoring your existence, that's when you should know your worth.

  What was I expecting? That flash of brightness almost went out in an instant, and the wound in my heart spread endlessly.

  When she was very young, she didn't understand that kind of pain, only feeling like an unloved daughter, as if she were a guest in this home. Only by listening and working hard could she stay, could she survive. And at the age of fifteen, when she thought she already understood many things, his one sentence, spoken lightly, with just a few simple words, directly sent her heart, which had been holding onto a thread of hope, plummeting into hell!
