The gentle light of the Lord of the Flame spread over the earth, warming his people, and bright sunlight shone through the small window, bringing light to the small, dark room.

In the room, on the dilapidated bed, the sleeping girl opened her eyes, revealing golden eyes that were exactly like the sun.

The girl Cinderella looked at the pillar of light shining into the room, her expression suddenly became flustered, and she lifted the heavy but not warm old quilt on her body and sat up from the bed.

"Ah.....h

Because the movement was too violent, the girl's head hit the low roof at once, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain.

But now there is no time to cry out about the pain, it's all at this point, if she doesn't feel like she gets up to prepare breakfast, the consequences must be a hundred times worse than hitting her head.

"Glasses, glasses... Pregnant. ”

The beam of light coming in from the small window did not fully illuminate the room, and the girl could only grope in the dark, but fortunately she soon found what she was looking for, a pair of old-fashioned and worn glasses.

Put on her glasses, look at the broken mirror next to the bed by the beam, and after confirming that she in the mirror has turned into ordinary dark brown eyes, the girl Cinderella's daily "grooming and dressing" session is over.

With some difficulty, she pushed open the "door", and then crawled out of the room with a cat.

Well, who made her so-called room actually a storage room under the stairs?

"Sorry, I know I'm up late, but if you're going to discipline me, there's no one to prepare breakfast....."

After crawling out of the room, before she could see everything in the room, the girl skillfully closed her eyes and opened her mouth to explain.

It's just that, after waiting for a while, she didn't wait for the familiar scolding and ridicule.

When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by a large house with a low-key decoration revealing some exquisiteness, which was Cinderella's home, or her former home.

Cinderella is not a maid or anything in this house, but the daughter of the head of the house.

Well, to be precise, it's the daughter of the man and his ex-wife.

The ex-wife's child has always been in an embarrassing situation, especially after the male owner marries a wife, if the stepmother is not just a fuel-efficient lamp, then the child's situation is Cinderella's current situation.

After the careful probe looked around the house, Cinderella breathed a sigh of relief.

"Looks like they're not home."

After listening to the noise outside the window, the girl remembered why no one had come to trouble her today.

It was the first day of the new year, and the stepmother was probably already out with her two proud daughters to enjoy the festive spirit, and on such a day, they did not need to pass the time with poor Cinderella.

"It's a good day."

The girl smiled half happily, half self-deprecatingly.

Then he happily walked into the kitchen, ready to bring himself some breakfast.

Today, when her stepmother is away, she can bring herself something delicious instead of having to eat some leftovers as usual.

In fact, in a wealthy merchant family like her family, which is obviously on the upper middle class, work such as cooking and cleaning should be done by a servant, even if she is only a child born to his ex-wife, but that should be treated as a young lady, and it will never be so miserable.

But the only problem was that after the death of his mother, his father's business still went wrong, and finally he had to marry the widow of the old rich man Grande for money, and the stepmother from the Grande family had the same tradition of that family, and was extremely stingy.

It is impossible for her to pay for a servant, she has always been generous only to her own two precious daughters, and as for the question of not being able to live a comfortable life without a servant, the shrewd lady said that there is not a ready-made maid in this house, who does not need to spend money?

Since then, poor Cinderella has gone from being a big lady to a maid.

And although his father, who was already weak, couldn't bear it, he didn't say much in the end.

His business is inseparable from the support of the Grande family, and this stepmother is indeed very capable, not only can take care of the family, but also help him in business, she easily raised his business to a higher level, except for a little problem in his personality, this can indeed be called a virtuous helper.

Fortunately, Cinderella has been used to it for so many years, at least she still has food and a place to live, and she hasn't been swept out into the streets, has she?

Moreover, although the father was cowardly, he never forgot her as a daughter, at least she had a share of the gift every year, which was the only thing that the man had insisted on in front of the strong stepmother all these years.

After eating the last piece of white bread, the industrious girl cleaned the kitchen and went to a corner of the living room, where her father prepared a gift for her every New Year.

This year is no exception.

As soon as Cinderella entered the living room, she saw a familiar gift box in the corner.

Expectantly, she opened the gift box, which contained a neatly folded set of clothes, as well as a letter, which Cinderella opened first.

"Happy New Year, my daughter, congratulations on growing up a year again, time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye you are sixteen years old, a big girl, this is your gift this year, a new school uniform, the last time I saw you mending your old school uniform, I was thinking about changing it for you, this is what I bought for you with private money, this one was personally chosen for you by your Aunt Vera, she actually has a lot to do with you, but you also know it, the nature of the Grande family is like that."

The letter was in her father's familiar handwriting, and Vera in the letter was her stepmother's name.

Flipping through the reverse side of the letter, there is another somewhat strong handwriting.

"Although I don't want to spend money, but who let this be your useless father's insistence, I'm just taking care of my husband's face, and you represent the face of the Green family outside after all, it's also about my face."

Well, the words are like the person, this is the handwriting of the stepmother.

Cinderella suddenly threw away the envelope a little with some disgust, and then happily took the new clothes and went to Huanxi Sha.

When the door of the bathroom opened, the poor girl in her patched gray gown was gone, replaced by a beautiful schoolgirl, with long pink hair and a shawl, and a school uniform that just fitted her, outlining the girl's figure that was better than her peers, especially the golden eyes on her delicate face, revealing a natural nobility and a different kind of charm.

"Ah, glasses, I forgot to bring glasses."

The girl looked at herself in the mirror, hurried back to the bathroom, and put on her old glasses again.

Well, what is reflected in the mirror is just a pink-haired girl with oversized black-framed broken glasses.

But in this regard, Cinderella is more at ease.

"Anyway, there's nothing to do today, why don't you go to the school and have a look."

Looking at her new school uniform, even though it's actually a holiday, there shouldn't be anyone in the school, but the girl still wants to go to the school to see it.
