Chapter 895: Chapter 895: True Saintly Beauty vs. Fake White Lotus Hypocrite (Part 5)
On her way ho, Gu Shengyin saw an unexpected person by the roadside.
The small boy was very frail, squatting with his arms wrapped around his knees, his head lowered, lost in thought.
Just one look made Gu Shengyin’s heart tremble.
She approached him, seeing more clearly now: his clothes had obviously been worn for a long ti, the fabric showed signs of countless washings and fading, his hair was untidy and unkempt, and his exposed wrists were so thin they seed as though a slight force could break them.
Gu Shengyin’s eyelashes quivered for a mont; in her understanding, the man had always been noble and domineering in each life, never appearing so down and out like he did now.
She once entertained herself by idly imagining what he would be like if he took on a different identity, but seeing him for real left her heart aching inexplicably.
She softly approached him, not speaking yet, and the boy raised his head warily, slightly more relaxed upon seeing a friendly young woman.
Gu Shengyin considered her tone: “Hello, why are you… sitting here alone? Why aren’t you ho?”
Upon hearing soone approach, Shen Nian looked up alertly.
A very beautiful young woman.
His heart relaxed a little, but only just a little.
Pretty people aren’t necessarily good people.
He knew this well. Shen Nian knew two beautiful won; the first was his mother, who abandoned him at the age of ten.
The second was a young woman he t not long ago, she treated him exceptionally well, almost accommodating his every need.
But only almost.
Despite his young age, Shen Nian was psychologically more mature than many peers due to his life experiences.
He secretly followed her when she made calls behind his back.
It turned out, her kindness was just because she fancied his looks.
Having inherited his mother’s exquisite appearance, which in so malicious people’s eyes, beca a profitable tool.
He was utterly disgusted and terrified, running far away and never returned to that part of the neighborhood.
Thus, he felt so distrust towards Gu Shengyin’s approach.
Yet, a subtle voice inside whispered she was different, she wouldn’t harm him.
Yes, from this young woman, Shen Nian felt no trace of malice.
He even wanted to get closer to her.
At this mont, Gu Shengyin was already thankful for the skill she acquired.
Being able to easily gain others’ favor was nothing short of perfection for her now.
Shen Nian hesitated, softly speaking: “I…”
I have no ho.
Gu Shengyin had checked the data accepted by the system.
Shen Nian, thirteen years old, seemingly lost his father to an accident at nine. His legs were disabled, and his mother left a year later, unable to endure her husband’s drastic personality change. She took money from ho and claid to go shopping but never returned.
Betrayed by his wife, the already sensitive and furious Mr. Shen vented all his negative emotions onto Shen Nian.
The thought of the life Shen Nian led under the cold descriptions provided by the system made Gu Shengyin unwilling to imagine what kind of days they were.
