Hot......

It's hot......

The light around her was scorching, and a misty mist rose from it, making it impossible to tell where she was.

Cold photographic equipment on all sides, she clutched a sheer tulle tightly, trying in vain to hide her wisps. The body that does not hang is staggered backwards. Like a goblin that strays into a trap.

A man in a black suit walked towards her, his tall and straight body and cold face, making him look like a demon from the depths of hell. He approached her step by step, pushed her to the ground, and roughly tore the veil off her body with one hand, and then she felt a sudden crack......

She cried and screamed, desperately trying to push him away, dying and dying, but to no avail.

The pain was like purgatory, overwhelming, making her feel as if her body had been torn into countless pieces, her consciousness gradually became trance, and her eyes turned black for a while......

Before she lost consciousness, all she remembered was the man's frighteningly cold eyes and a slight "click".

That's the sound of the camera shutter.

…………

Su Xingyu screamed and woke up from the nightmare, dripping in a cold sweat.

Inside are quiet wards, where the warm afternoon sunlight pours in and spreads across the snow-white bedding. She gasped for breath in horror, barely composing herself, one hand trembling slightly at her side, clenched into a fist.

I had that nightmare again.

I don't know how many times it is, and I dreamed of that man again, and the terrible past two years ago.

Two years ago, on her eighteenth birthday, she was violated by an unknown man and took away her first night. She still didn't know who that man was or how he found her, she just knew that the man was terrible, terrible, and the look in her eyes was like he was going to swallow everything.

Demon.

That was the only impression she had of him.

She didn't want to find out what was going on in the first place, or rather, she didn't dare. Intuitively, she understood that that man was an existence she would never be able to provoke, and even if he was so cruelly forced, she was powerless to pursue it, let alone seek justice. She could only think that it was an accident, and in the past two years, she has had nightmares and nightmares, facing the pain alone.

Suddenly, the mobile phone next to her pillow rang, startling her.

She picked it up, and a series of sharp scoldings came from the other end: "Su Xingyu, where did you die?!" Didn't you know that today was your sister's coming-of-age ceremony?! Get here for me, if I can't catch up, I'll pull your tendons and peel your skin!" ”

It was the voice of stepmother Liu Meizhi.

Su Xingyu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that today was the eighteenth birthday of his half-sister Su Xingqi, and the family prepared a coming-of-age ceremony for her with great fanfare, and invited the city's wealthy and media reporters, which was very lively.

She was unwell in the past few days, and she was hospitalized with inflammation caused by a cold, but she really forgot about it.

hurriedly said, "Got it, Aunt Liu, I'll come over here." ”

On the other end of the phone, Liu Meizhi was still scolding: "Hurry up, hurry up!" The media reporters are all present, if they can't see you, maybe they think that there is some contradiction in our Su family, and it will not be good for your sister's reputation if it is spread out! Where are you and how long will it take to get there? Are the clothes ready? Dress up and don't embarrass your sister! ”

The stepmother has always had such an attitude towards her, and after so many years, she didn't even bother to ridicule her, she only said: "I am hospitalized in Cining Hospital, and I will take a taxi right away, about forty minutes." ”

Liu Meizhi didn't care why she was hospitalized at all, and scolded: "40 minutes? You are going to die! There is still half an hour before the bar mitzvah ceremony begins! You dead girl, you want people outside to say that our Su family has no tutor, and that you have a mother and no mother! Why am I so miserable, stand up to you broom star! You're waiting at the hospital, I'll send a driver to pick you up and bring you a set of clothes! If you dare to come in those dirty clothes from the hospital, I want you to look good! ”

After speaking, he hung up scolding.

Su Xingyu looked at the half-used mobile phone in his palm, and his lips showed a trace of sarcasm.

Do you have a mother or not? Isn't she?

Her biological mother died when she was five years old, and her stepmother Liu Meizhi was very harsh on her after entering the door, and she did everything she could to eat and wear. Not to mention that she is hospitalized this time, even if she is not hospitalized, she can't find a decent dress at home at all. Compared with Liu Meizhi's biological daughter Su Xingqi, she, the eldest lady of the Su family, is like an inconspicuous subordinate.

She waited in the ward for a while, and sure enough, the driver arrived and brought her a set of clothes and jewelry.

The middle-aged half-bald driver told her: "Miss, Madame said, this dress and jewelry are all lent to you, let you be careful when you wear it, don't break it, and as soon as the second lady's coming-of-age ceremony is over, you will take it off and return it to Madame." ”

"Got it." Su Xingyu said.

Since she was a child, she has long been accustomed to it, every time she encounters a major event, Liu Meizhi will find a set of dresses with a façade to lend her, and take it back immediately after using it. In this way, it not only completes the reputation of the Su family, but also saves money.

When she was a child, she would be so sad and aggrieved that she shed tears, why did her sister wear gorgeous clothes, but she could only borrow a dress to attend the banquet? But now, she doesn't care anymore, she is twenty years old this year, and when she graduates from college, she will be able to find a job and live independently, and she will earn what she eats and wears with her own hands.

She took the dress from the driver's hand and went to the bathroom to change into it.

It was a small smoky gray dress, basic, the size was slightly incompatible with her figure, and with a featureless necklace, it looked very low-key. In other words, even if you walk into a banquet with fragrant clothes and sideburns, it is not eye-catching.

Over the years, the dresses that Liu Meizhi lent her are all in a similar style, without losing her identity, but she is also extremely simple, and she doesn't have to worry about stealing Su Xingqi's limelight at all. On the contrary, with such a monotonous she, she brings out the charm and beauty of her younger sister Su Xingqi, and everyone says that the second miss of the Su family is the real beauty, far better than the eldest lady.

Su Xingyu accompanied the driver to the scene of the coming-of-age ceremony.

It was a five-star hotel, and the Su family had a whole floor of banquet halls. The greeters in front of the door were polite, the guests were dressed in formal attire, and several media reporters shuttled through it, making it very lively.

Su Xingyu looked at this prosperous scene, and felt a slight sadness in his heart.

Thinking about her eighteenth birthday, no one in the family remembered it at all, let alone held a coming-of-age ceremony. Otherwise, she wouldn't have snuck out that day to celebrate herself, but something like that happened.

The eyes in the nightmare appeared unexpectedly, cold, cruel, and made her tremble.

Su Xingyu shook his head, shook off these unpleasant memories, and walked into the banquet hall.
