The Past

Li Beinian did not speak, but Mu Xichen could tell from her expression that she had thought things through and seen the light.

He patted her shoulder and said gently, "Let's eat first."

It was the same New Year, but compared with Li Beinian, Bo Chengcheng had an exceptionally uneventful time.

New Year's Eve was a time of family reunion.

Jiang Yeqing's family lived in the mountains and he had thirteen siblings.

He was the youngest in the family, and his eldest sister was almost 30 years his senior. She had long been sold off to some recessed corner in the mountains by their gambler father.

In that house, besides his good-for-nothing father, there was also his mother, who was used to being bullied.

From the time Jiang Yeqing could reason, he had never liked his family.

Especially that damned father.
