"Father" and "Mother" walked in the silent hall, clearly arguing. I hurried to catch up and listen. When I caught up with them, I realized that their faces were much older. It seems that it has been several years since I was selected.

"We should have trusted each other!" It was the "mother" who spoke, "Isn't it! ”

"Don't accuse me like that, my dear. We're the same now, Nancy, but I don't like the people around you! I'm sorry, but I do hate Eric and Murmer! These two disgusting stupid pigs! ”

"Mother" leaned against a pillar and looked up at "Father's" handsome, hormonally strong face.

"That's nothing," said the "mother," "we're just ordinary colleagues!" ”

"Colleague relationships? Released my pigeons alone at Christmas and ran to take a scandal photo? ”

"And what do you do to Cyrus and her brothers?" "Mother" asked rhetorically, her face flushing again as she spoke, and she looked like she couldn't control her hatred.

"Strange. Tell me, what did I do to Cyrus? "Father" tilted his head.

"What the hell are you doing sneaking her into the bedroom every night?"

"Give her a make-up lesson." The father replied, "She was a bright and studious child. ”

"I'm curious, why do you look at her unnaturally?" "Mother" asked coldly.

"I know the theories that those guys out there are spreading everywhere right now," the "father's" voice was cold, "why are you so interested in their gossip, isn't my words more trustworthy than theirs?" ”

After saying this, the "father" stared directly at the face of the "mother", and the "mother" blushed.

Mother's face darkened. She muttered softly, "I don't know ......"

The bright golden eyes of the "father" became extremely long, and the "mother" took a step back.

"I didn't mean that...... I just don't want to believe it – you like that kid! The words seemed to spew out uncontrollably, "and she still ...... Everybody thinks ......"

The pain of the "mother" made her a little incoherent, and the "father" frowned.

"Actually, you don't have to worry," the father interrupted the mother, "I can't have any wrong thoughts about Cyrus, because she's just an adopted child from us!" But Murmer is not the same as Eric, they are bastards! ”

"Father" and mother soon reached the top of the stairs, where the conversation also disappeared.

And in a dark corner of the hallway, I, who was almost ten years old, turned away with a gloomy face.

Stupid out-of-body "mother......

At that time, I dragged the teddy bear away, and all vitality was drained of my heavy footsteps......

Then the scene disappeared again.

I saw me again after working in a casino for the first time, in the backstage.

I watched as "Father" walked into the preparation room, strolled to the side, and sat down in a chair. Although I was preparing to leave early, I didn't think much about why the other people around me had disappeared.

I know how nervous "Father" can be when he puts his hand on my shoulder, I know how red-faced and panicked I am, and I don't want to hear it again......

He saw "Mother" banging on the door with a gloomy face, pointing at "Father" in annoyance. Yelling in anger? But what I didn't expect was that the "father" shook his fist in annoyance......

Scene transitions.

"I'm sorry."

"I don't want to hear it."

"I'm sorry!"

"You save it!"

It's night. Even though she was only wearing a dressing gown, the appearance of "Mother" standing at the door of the apartment with her arms crossed was still elegant and dignified.

"As one of the pillars of the family, you can track down where I move."

"I was ...... I really...... It wasn't meant to be done to Cyrus......"

"In other words, you're just out of luck!" The voice of the "mother" did not have a hint of sympathy, "It's too late! I've been giving you excuses for years. Everyone around me doesn't understand how I can talk to you. You and those charming girls - you don't deny it! You can't wait to have fun, right? ”

The "father" opened his mouth, speechless.

"I can't lie anymore. You have chosen your way, and I have chosen mine. ”

"Listen, I didn't mean to ......"

"—what kind of thing did you do to Cyrus? Besides, how many people have you done it to? ”

The "father" racked his brains to make excuses, and the "mother" simply slammed the door contemptuously......

Then the narrow apartment hallway disappears, and the memory scene has a bit more time to reorganize this time.

I felt like I was flying between many shifting shapes and colors, until I was standing in a small dark room when the surroundings solidified. There was a very ambiguous atmosphere of seven-colored lights around, and I don't know who kept shouting loudly, and it was a little noisy and chaotic.

About eleven or twelve years old, I stood there leaning against the wall, bored and a little bored, holding a piece of paper in my hand, like waiting for someone.

Even if I had no choice but to think of this memory at this moment, I was still ...... to me at that time Despicable deeds feel shameless.

Looking over my immature shoulders and into the distance, I saw the man......

Then there was a sharp sound of high heels coming from far and near. I lifted my head and smiled at the shocked man at the door.

"It's you!" "Mother" had a gloomy face.

"Mom......" I was still smiling.

The slightest whisper was drowned out in the noise outside the door. I stand in front of the former "mother", now this ordinary person. Watching her short skirt flutter and fluttering, watching her whole being overshadowed by the external lights.

"Oh well. Miss Celestia Rutinbeck, what message does that honorable Mr. Sylvig Rutinbeck have for me? ”

"You're wrong, I'm here for you!"

I lowered my head and rubbed my hands, my loose black hair draped over my shoulders, and I must have looked sincere.

I'm really despising myself more and more......

"I'm here to warn, no...... Rewarding ......"

The "Mothers" were still leaning against the pillars, and the noisy rock music was ringing around us, but where they stood...... It's very quiet.

"What will a gambler reward me?"

"That...... My father told me ......"

"Yes, now you are the family's cash cow," Mother glanced at me with extreme contempt, "So, is your so-called 'father' going to give me something?" ”

"I came on my own!" I sighed softly, "You're going to be in trouble!" ”

"Mother" looked at me suspiciously.

"You know...... Know what I mean! He's ready for everything, he's coming for your trouble, you're in danger! ”

"Would you be so kind?" "Mother" looked at me suspiciously, "why don't you intercede with him, you are his cash cow?" ”

"I ...... I really...... Don't dare ......"

"I hate you." "Mother" snorted coldly.

I have never heard anyone speak to me in such an abominative tone.

"You can hate me," I wiped away my twinkling tears, "but it's none of my business. I'm here to repay the favor this time, please trust me. ”
