Chapter 1098: The Sorrowful Taste of Reunion after a Long Absence 3
Listening to Catherine's words, Zhang Cuihua shook her head and smiled, "No, that Liu Ailan didn't exist back then, she is still alive in your heart!" Otherwise, you wouldn't have come back to me after 20 years, and you would still be willing to see me. γγγLatest Chapter Reading BaolyγAre you still that Liu Ailan, Catherine? I'm afraid that's just a fake identity for you to live in front of the public. β
Zhang Cuihua's words shocked Catherine instantly, and she smiled bitterly after half a meal, "Maybe...... You're right, I still can't forget the memories of the past, and I can't forget that I am Liu Ailan, so I finally chose to meet you......"
"Can you tell me about it? What is your life after leaving Yongan County? Zhang Cuihua looked at Catherine again and then said, "You can see that you should be doing well now." β
"The quality of life is not determined by material things." Catherine smiled bitterly, "The wounds and pain in my heart will never be erased in this life. Back then, in order to escape this qiΔ, I thought that by changing to a new life and a new environment, I could completely erase everything that I had once been. Without mentioning it to anyone, I gave all my savings to the traffickers and wanted to smuggle in to start a new life of my own. But who knows, when I got to sea, I found that smuggling was not as easy as I imagined, when the smuggling boat encountered a storm and broke the fresh water tank, and as a result, there was not enough fresh water on board, and many people died...... Even the dying man, the captain ruthlessly threw him directly into the vast sea! β
Catherine recalled this, her whole body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes revealed incomparable fear, and she trembled as if she had gone mad, "Before I was thrown into the sea, some of the crew members were tempted to use force on me, and threatened to throw me into the sea if I didn't comply. At that time, I was really about to collapse, I was so disheartened, I always felt that God was constantly torturing me, I couldn't bear such pain again and again, and I had already started to think softly. At that time, I refused his pressure, took a knife and put it to my throat, and would rather die. They thirsted for me, starved for me, and finally I jumped into the sea in despair. β
"Lan Lan, you are really a woman with a hard life...... That...... So how did you survive? Zhang Cuihua's tears couldn't stop flowing down, not to mention personal experience, even if she just listened to it, she could clearly feel her despair at that time.
"Hehe, God may not have tortured me enough, and he still wants me to continue to live in this world and suffer." Catherine laughed bitterly, "I jumped into the sea, but unexpectedly came across a wooden plank that floated from nowhere, and I drifted with the plank for a long time, and then I came across a fishing boat, which rescued me and took me there. β
"The well-meaning owner of the fishing boat didn't report it to the police when he found out that I was a stowaway, but took me to his house for a while. I could see that he liked me very much and wanted me to be his wife. But I don't want to let my life go to waste, and I swear to myself that I will let those who have lost me taste my hatred, my revenge! "I sneaked out of the fishing captain's house, and I went into hiding without an identity, and I went into the slums, where I washed dishes, picked up rags, and even resold contraband...... In order to survive, in order to avenge myself, I gritted my teeth and insisted on spending every day! Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and after I saved some money, I got a fake certificate and entered a company with a fake certificate. I worked hard, relied on my diligence and talent to climb up step by step, and eventually became a middle class, spending all the 1.8 million Huaxia coins I had accumulated over the course of a few years and finally getting a real green card through some connections. β
"After I got my green card, the small company I worked for could no longer meet my needs, and soon I moved to a large company, the Beninese consortium, and within three years I was promoted to the position of marketing director. I know that even if I work my own, I can only rise to this point without backing. And it is impossible to achieve the inner goal by relying on this ability, so I set my sights on the single president of Oonardo Murphy, who has been divorced for more than two years. I spent more than a year collecting information about him, including his hobbies, personality, and places to go, and launched a pursuit offensive. Relying on his own charm, he approached him step by step, and finally fell in love with him and married me. That's why I went from Liu Ailan to Catherine Murphy! β
"When Onardo married me, he was sixty-eight years old and had never had a good heart. After marrying him, I came into contact with many unknown secrets of the Beninese consortium, and gradually grasped many powers within the Beninese consortium. Three years later, he died of a heart attack, and with no children and no heirs, he finally left me the majority of the shares of the Beninese consortium and made me the new president of the Beninese consortium. Since then, it has taken me another five years to truly take control of the board of directors and lead the Beninese consortium to grow into a huge multinational conglomerate with more than three times the assets it did back then. It was only then that I felt grounded in my heart and thought that the moment of true revenge was coming! Subsequently, I asked my adopted daughter to return to China to study first, and according to my plan, I wanted to slowly infiltrate the Beninese consortium into Huaxia and then return to China to fulfill my wish for 20 years. It's just that I didn't expect that my adopted daughter had a temporary accident, which made me have to return to China early. β
After hearing Catherine narrate her legends in the past twenty years, Zhang Cuihua was silent for a long time, and suddenly raised her head and said, "Lan Lan, you ...... The revenge you keep talking about, is the object Xiao Guofeng? β
"Yes, it's this ungrateful bastard, the culprit who forced me to abandon my son and wander in a foreign land!" Catherine's eyes were full of coldness and hatred, and she gritted her teeth and said, "It's he, a despicable and shameless fellow, who caused me to lose my original happiness!" Love, affection, friendship, nothing, it's all given by him! I will definitely let him return all the bitterness and hatred in my heart, and this day will not be far away! I want him to kneel in front of me and repent and beg for mercy, so that he will regret his choice! β
Zhang Cuihua's face was a little ugly, she really didn't expect that after so many years, Catherine's hatred for Xiao Guofeng was still so persistent...... No, even more intensely than when she had abandoned her, to be exact! She sighed a little helplessly, "So to speak...... You've already done it to Xiao Guofeng? Have you seen him when you returned home? β
"How have you seen it? I even went into the courtyard of the Xiao family in the capital and met his father! Catherine thought of what happened in the capital not long ago, and felt a burst of refreshment, and rarely showed a sneer, "Xiao Guofeng, that bastard, I have made him suffer a lot, next time, I will make him even more painful!" β
"Hey...... When is the time for retribution, Lan Lan, it's not your fault that you have an obsession in your heart, but sometimes people always have to look forward, don't be blinded by hatred. Zhang Cuihua sighed deeply and explained, "When it's time to put it down, remember to put it down." β
"Hua, I understand what you say, but I just can't get over this hurdle in my heart, even if I become a devil, I have to drag Xiao Guofeng's bastard to hell together!" Catherine said this, a little nervous, "I, I'm here this time...... Actually, in fact, I also mustered up courage, my son, his son he ......"
