How long more are you going to pretend?

Rou'er's innocent smile soon aroused the children's indignation.

"Princess Rou'er will never steal your thing! You are lying. You are the real thief!"

Defenseless, she could only watch her mother's keepsake fall into the wrong hands.

Compared to the sweet-looking Rou'er, she was akin to Cinderella. No one believed her or was willing to take her side.

Since then, as if she were the devil's incarnate, the children treated her with much hatred.

Some time passed, and one afternoon, Rou'er was called to the room by a teacher, never to return.

Talks of her getting adopted by a wealthy family circulated among the children. Apparently, this affluent family even gave a handsome reward to the director, which facilitated the expansion of the welfare center.

There was even mention of that rich family specifically coming to the welfare center to find their lost relation. They took Rou'er when they found the jade on her.
