118 His Dark Eyes Wavered (8)

Qiao Lian stood at the door and her heart hurt as she watched him.

That was her brother.

He broke both of his legs when a pillar fell on him in that huge fire eight years ago. He had never stood up again after that accident.

Both of her parents had died and her only brother ended up in such a state. Her house had been thoroughly burnt, the company had closed down and she was left with no money.

Even the compensation for her parents' demise got rejected by the bank and they ruled it as suicide.

How did she survive those dark days with her brother?

She quit school, but as she was yet to be of legal age, she could only barely support the both of them by taking up three jobs a day. Her brother's legs had also missed the best time for treating them because of that.

Her life then had been truly very hard and bitter.

She used to cry out of tiredness every night, when she returned home.

Then, she met Shen Liangchuan.
