Tang family.

The sound of water running through the closed bathroom door was constant.

Li Yan came to see it a few times, and for nearly an hour, Tang Mi hadn't come out of it yet.

But the sound of the water continued, and she couldn't help but shout: "Mi Mi, why haven't you finished washing yet? ”

The sound of the water inside was still uninterrupted, and in the sound of the water, Tang Mi's vague voice came, "Mom, you wait a while." ”

Li Yan thinks it's very strange, can take a bath for an hour? Obviously, she takes a bath every day, and she won't be so dirty on her body, so she needs to wash for so long, right? Besides, doesn't water cost money? The water bill has risen again in the past few days, and the daughter of her family, who is not a good person, doesn't know how to marry a rich man to share the family's worries, and she doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are, which is really annoying.

Thinking like this, a burst of fire jumped up, and she shouted in a loud voice: "Come out quickly, I don't know how expensive the water bill is, right?

In the bathroom, Tang Mi did not respond immediately, but the sound of water still did not stop.

This is even more strange, usually Tang Mi listens to her very much.

What the hell is going on with this girl today?

Li Yan stretched out her hand and tapped on the door, urging impatiently: "Mi Mi, did you hear what your mother said?

Perhaps it was the threat that Li Yan was going to rush in that played a role, and the sound of the water that had lasted for an hour finally stopped.

Li Yan snorted and complained: "You have to say that you are obedient, right? It's really ......."

In the bathroom, Tang Mi listened to Li Yan's complaints for a while and left, she stood in the steaming bathroom, looking at her body with disgust, the mark of the cigarette butt burning out of her chest reminded her of what she had experienced today.

This scar, can it be removed?

Maybe it can't be removed, just like the stain that exists in her life, it will be with her for the rest of her life.

Even if she gets married in the future, her husband will take off her clothes and ask in surprise, "Why is there a scar in this place?"

At that time, how should she answer?

Heh, in that case, it will be regarded as a neuropathy with self-harm tendencies.

Heh, so why did you date a guy with violent tendencies in the first place?

In any case, there will never be a perfect answer that will be able to hide the past.

It was a sign of shame, and its existence would forever remind her of her disgraceful past of selling her body for money.

Tang Mi stood in front of the mirror and slowly wiped his body.

In the mirror, her whole body is reflected, with beautiful curves, convex and backward, and snow-white skin, which can be said to be a very beautiful and moving skin.

Except for the bruises on his arms and thighs, and the marks on his chest from cigarette butts.

Tang Mi could no longer be proud of her body, and when she looked at it now, she only felt full of disgust.

When a person decides to make money with his own hands, he is forced to sell his body and be a dirty person, which is really a tragedy.

Tang Mi didn't believe in fate before, but now she does.

Some people are born with good lives, like her sister.

Some people are born with bad fate, such as her Tang Mi.

Tang Mi put on his pajamas, carefully buttoned all the buttons, reached out and wiped his face, so that his expression did not look so resentful, and then walked out slowly.

When she passed by the living room, she saw her mother Li Yan sitting on the sofa watching a Korean drama, holding a handful of watermelon seeds in her hand, and she was watching it with relish.

It's as if the family doesn't have a huge debt at all - Dad hasn't come back yet, but Mom doesn't worry at all, and has the heart to enjoy life so comfortably, to be honest, she sometimes really admires her mother's heartlessness.

She used to think that her mother loved her father very much, otherwise she would not rather betray her friendship than be with her father, but now she thinks that maybe not, her mother may only love herself from beginning to end.

Only people who don't love anyone can let themselves live a carefree life.

Tang Mi sighed and planned to go back to her room - usually she would stay and talk to her mother, but today, she was really not in such a mood.

She felt very tired, very tired, a tiredness that welled up from the depths of her heart, and made her feel that it was really boring to live.

It's too tiring to live, it's too unfair to live, and the world is too cruel.

She will never be able to get the life she wants, and she will only be able to follow the arrangement of fate.

Fate sent her to the east, and she couldn't go west.

She was powerless to fight fate.

She resigned herself to her fate, and from now on, she no longer pursued any self.

"Mi Mi, what's wrong with you today?" Li Yan, who was busy watching the little fresh meat in the Korean drama with two eyes, was able to spare a little bit of energy to find that her daughter was a little strange, which was really touching.

Tang Mi stopped, hung her head and didn't look at her mother, she said weakly: "Mom, I'm a little tired today and want to go back to my room to sleep." ”

"Tired?" Li Yan raised her eyebrows and said in surprise: "What are you doing?

"......" Tang Mi didn't hear the ridicule in her mother's words, if she could, she really wanted to say everything loudly to her mother.

Yes, I went to sell my body, in order to pay off the debts of my family, I sold my body, I was raped by a disgusting man, I was insulted at will, but I couldn't resist, just because the family needed money-

Mom, I'm really tired and tired.

It's 10,000 times more tired than you think.

I'm really not the waste daughter you think I am.

She roared inwardly, but there was a dead silence on her face, and she pursed her pale pink lips tightly and didn't say a word.

She was afraid that her mother would be uncomfortable and distressed, and she thought, let's let her mother not know anything.

Disgraceful things, she does alone, painful memories, she bears alone.

After all, she has grown up.

She should take care of her father and mother and take care of the family.

"Why don't you speak? Li Yan frowned and stared at Tang Mi, her daughter's strange reaction made her stop watching TV, and a kind of intuition as a mother told her that something particularly important must have happened to her daughter today.

Tang Mi turned her head slowly, revealing a pale and tired face, her beautiful big eyes were not shining at all at this time, and the invisible grievance that shrouded her face made her at least five years older than usual tonight.

The moment Li Yan saw her daughter's face, she was startled again, she has no other advantages as a daughter, the biggest advantage is that she is beautiful, and it is the kind of vigorous beauty, which makes people feel unique at a glance, and her daughter loves to talk and laugh, not as lifeless as Tang Xiao, based on this, she has always thought from the bottom of her heart that her daughter is more suitable for marrying into that kind of big family than Tang Xiao, after all, who doesn't like a girl with a pleasing personality and good looks? With a character like Tang Xiao, even if he marries in, it is rare to please his mother-in-law.

However, tonight's Tang Mi made her see a little bit of Tang Xiao's shadow from her.

Unconsciously, Tang Mi and Tang Xiao became more and more similar as they grew older.

Li Yan was stunned, and even felt that Tang Mi looked like that woman-Shen Fanghao.

It's strange that she's her own daughter!

"Mi Mi, come and sit down, tell your mother, what's going on?" Li Yan stretched out her hand and patted the position beside her, signaling Tang Mi to come over.

She decided to enlighten her daughter well, she didn't want her daughter to become like that Tang Xiao!

Tang Mi shook his head and said, "Mom, I'm really sleepy, you let me go back to my room and stay by myself, okay?"

Tang Mi rarely doesn't listen to her in normal times, but today he has repeatedly violated her wishes, which is really abnormal.

Li Yan couldn't care about getting angry, and deliberately softened her voice and said to Tang Mi: "Can't you really tell your mother about your heart?"

Tang Mi lowered her head, she was almost shaken, after all, after experiencing such an uncomfortable thing, how could she not want someone to comfort her and share her thoughts.

It's just that...... Forget it, let's not let my mother worry about her.

So, she shook her head again and said, "Mom, I just want to go back to my room and sleep now." ”

Li Yan was a little annoyed in her heart, but she still tried her best to hold back: "Okay, you can go." ”

"Hmm. Tang Mi lowered her head, slumped her shoulders, and walked slowly towards her room like an ostrich.

Li Yan stared at Tang Mi's depressed back, and the question in her heart became stronger and stronger.

The little fresh meat on TV can no longer attract her attention, and the watermelon seeds in her hand are becoming more and more tasteless, her daughter has been in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and her every move has been approved by her, so to speak, she has absolute control over her daughter.

Sometimes, she feels that her daughter Tang Mi is like a doppelganger of hers, and she tries to realize her own unrealized life in her daughter.

Tang Mi has never resisted, she has always been very obedient before she opened a bubble tea shop.

Is it the time of rebellion? Or is it ...... Who did she fall in love with?

Li Yan was a little nervous, she was afraid that this person who could be almost completely controlled by her would get out of her control.

She didn't like it.

The daughter is hers, and she must listen to her arrangements and live at her pace.

She couldn't tolerate changes in her daughter that she didn't know existed.

Li Yan couldn't wait for a moment to get up from the sofa.

She didn't stop, strode to the door of Tang Mi's room, then knocked on the door, and asked in a very loving tone: "Mi Mi, it's Mom, are you already asleep?"

Tang Mi didn't say anything.

Li Yan waited for a while, becoming more and more unbearable, and she knocked on the door again: "Mi Mi, mom has something to say to you, can you let mom in?"

In the room, Tang Mi hid in the quilt, stretched out her hand to quickly wipe the tears on her face, she took out a small mirror from the side of the bed and looked at it, and found that her eyes were still red, and she couldn't help but be a little anxious, if her mother came in now, she would definitely find that she had just cried.

She really didn't want her mother to know that she was hiding in her room alone and crying, but the tears on her face could be wiped away, and what should she do with the red circles under her eyes?

"Mi Mi, you didn't sleep, did you?" her mother's voice came again.

Tang Mi had no choice, so he took out an eye drop from the drawer and squeezed it in his hand, then lay down and said, "No...... Mom, I'm a little sick to my eyes. ”

"You kid, you don't tell your mother if your eyes are uncomfortable. Li Yan outside the door complained, and then asked, "Then mom came in to help you take a look?"

"Hmm. Tang Mi unscrewed the lid of the eye drops and lay on the bed waiting for her mother to come in.

Li Yan pushed open the door and walked in, and saw Tang Mi lying on the bed rubbing his eyes.

"What's going on?" Li Yan walked over worriedly, "Don't rub it, let Mom take a look." ”

"Good. Tang Mi obediently responded and handed the eye drops in her hand to her mother, "Mom, you can help me drop eye drops, I can't get the drops myself, and the inside of my eyes is old and uncomfortable, which makes me uncomfortable to death." ”

Li Yan looked at her red eye circles, and felt a little weird in her heart, she just came out of the bathroom, and she didn't see it so red?

"Where have you been today?" she asked, giving her eye drops.

"I didn't go anywhere, so I wanted to borrow money from an old classmate and have a cup of coffee with him. ”

"Oh, did you borrow that?" asked Li Yan. She had little hope.

Tang Mi hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I borrowed it, but he said that he gave it to me." ”

In fact, when he woke up from the hotel, Zhang Haoren had already left, but on the pillow he had slept on, there was a check, and on the check was the number he had promised Tang Mi before.

"Smack. The eye drops fell on Tang Mi's dark pupils, Tang Mi rolled his eyes, and then closed his eyes.

"How much did you borrow?" said her mother, Li Yan, who didn't seem to have much hope for her.

How much money can my daughter's classmates have?

Tang Mi thought about it and decided not to tell the truth first, after all, although the money given by Zhang Hao was not enough to fill the holes in the family, it was not a small amount.

If she said it all at once, her mother would have doubted it.

It's better to say it several times, so that my mother thinks that she borrowed it from a different person.

So, Tang Mi said about one-fifth of the money given by Zhang Hao.

"So many?" Li Yan was a little surprised, "What are you doing with this classmate? By the way, is it a man or a woman? I'm willing to lend you so much, I guess it's interesting to you, right?"

"......" Tang Mi knew that her mother only had this in her mind, could it be that as long as she was a rich man, her mother wanted her to get together with others?

"Why don't you speak?" Li Yan touched Tang Mi with her elbow and urged.

“…… Mom, don't worry about this, my classmate is already married. Tang Mi said sullenly. She didn't want to talk to her mom anymore.

Li Yan said disapprehantly: "Sure enough, it's a man, right? It doesn't matter if he's married or not, as long as he has money." Reaching out and touching her daughter's smooth and tender face, Li Yan sighed happily, "Look, how beautiful this little face is, if I were a man, I couldn't help but be tempted." ”
