Chapter 2: Summer Vacation (Part 2)

Zhang Yansheng’s personality was really hateful at that time. She was hot-tempered, she doesn’t listen like she did when she was a child. Aunt Luo took care of her several times, but she wouldn’t listen and finally got annoyed. Then, she lost her temper and said, “You are just a nanny, earning from my money!”

She lost her temper, slammed the door, and left.

After going out, she actually regretted it a little bit. She somehow felt that her words were too heavy and Aunt Luo’s eyes seemed a little hurt at that time.

But at her age, she can’t drag herself to apologize. After a week of fooling around and not going home, when she finally remembered to go home, she found out that Aunt Luo’s room was empty.

Liang Yingying smiled and said: “I didn’t drive her away. She thinks that she can’t serve the eldest lady, so she resigned.”　

Zhang Yansheng was about to tear up Liang Yingying at that time but Zhang Huan stopped her: “Aunt Luo really quit her job. Her family called her many times asking her to return home for her grandson. It was because of you that she never left. Now, she was finally convinced and that’s it.”

Zhang Yansheng couldn’t relax at that time and was alone on her own for several days. That was yet another feeling of being abandoned since her mother’s death and after Zhang Huan remarried.

Several days had passed before she decided to call Aunt Luo, but her number is no longer available.

At that time, there were roaming fees. Aunt Luo’s number was from K City. If she returned to her hometown, she might have changed it to a local number.

Although Zhang Yansheng has lived with her for many years, she doesn’t know any more information about Aunt Luo apart from her phone number. In the boundless sea of people, her relationship with Aunt Luo’s has ended.

And now, at this moment, she has not broken Aunt Luo’s heart yet. Aunt Luo has not resigned and left yet, she is still in the Zhang’s house!

Zhang Yan’s nose was twitching and her tears almost fell. Then, she hugged her directly: “Aunt Luo!”

“Okay, okay, I know you don’t want to go out with her, but this is your granny’s1 birthday banquet. If you don’t go, your granny will be angry for sure. You know, you are the last person to lose face in front of your granny. Aunt Luo patted her back, coaxing her like a child, “Go, go, change to a beautiful dress. Our Yanyan is the most beautiful little princess wherever you go.”

Granny’s birthday banquet? After Aunt Luo had said it, Zhang Yansheng remembered that according to the date on the calendar, it was really today.

Zhang Yansheng had already made up her mind before seeing Aunt Luo, that she must be well-behaved in this new life and will never be like her previous life. At this age, she must do what she was supposed to do at this age.

“Okay, I’ll change my clothes now.” Then she asked, “Aunt Luo, do you know where I put all my textbooks for the first and second year? I have to review what I have learned from middle school before the school starts.”

Aunt Luo was surprised and delighted, and said: “I know, I know, in the storage room, I will find them for you. So, don’t worry and just go to the birthday banquet.”

She pushed Zhang Yansheng to the cloakroom to change clothes. Zhang Yansheng heard her muttering outside: “How good your grades were when you were in elementary school. You often bring awards when you go home and were always praised during the parent-teacher meetings. How happy your mother was back then; the whole family was so proud of you…”

Zhang Yansheng’s mother had cancer. After the operation, she had been doing radiotherapy and chemotherapy for several years. This kind of treatment can make people very weak, and her mother can neither manage business matters nor family matters. She lay down all day, and her happiest moments were whenever Zhang Yansheng came home with some awards.

But she died when Zhang Yansheng was 10 years old.

Only two months after her funeral, Liang Yingying entered the family with a marriage certificate.

She was not alone, she was holding Zhang Shoucheng in her arms, two years old, and behind her was Zhang Heling, four years old.

In other words, Zhang Heling was born two years after Zhang Yansheng’s mother had surgery!

All these years, when Zhang Yansheng’s mother was lying on the bed, this woman must be looking forward to her death every day so that she can turn herself around, right?

Zhang Yansheng exploded at that time!

The little girl was exhausted from shouting at them! In her anger, she pushed Zhang Heling down.

Liang Yingying was only taking care of the baby son in her arms, so she couldn’t care about her daughter. It was Aunt Luo who pulled Zhang Yansheng, while Zhang Huan blocked Zhang Heling from her.

After all, the three of them had established their positions in the house already and no one could stop them, not even Zhang Yansheng, who was only 10 years old at that time.

From then on, Zhang Yansheng’s life can no longer return to its former days. When she graduated from elementary school, her grades were not bad; after all, she had good grades for many years. But in her three years in middle school, her grades were just ‘okay’.

The good daughter and good student who made the mother in bed so proud, gradually disappeared. Most of the girl’s energy was spent on arguing and fighting with her stepmother, and her mind was spent on bearing disgust and hatred.

Zhang Yansheng changed her clothes silently, these memories flooded in her mind.

If her deceased mother knew what she had become afterwards, she would definitely be as sad as Aunt Luo, right?

Zhang Yansheng felt a sour sensation rushing from her nose straight to her eyes. She forcibly held it back. She was able to do so and walked out of the cloakroom: “I have changed.”

“Yanyan is so beautiful.” Aunt Luo exclaimed when she saw her, “Yanyan had really grown up. You were pretty when you were young and had grown up to be a great beauty as well.”

Although the 15-year-old girl has not yet developed her chest and hips, she is already slender and elegant. Her eyes are bright and not dry, and her cheeks are fair and tender. She was born like her mother, she is indeed a beauty.

Aunt Luo quickly helped get her hair done. Girls at this age don’t need makeup because natural beauty is the best. Aunt Luo looked at the time and quickly pushed her out of the door: “Hurry up, don’t let that person nag you.”

The so-called ‘that person’ naturally refers to Liang Yingying.

Who knew that the door would open and a stream of cool water rushed over her face, directly spraying Zhang Yansheng’s face and chest, dampening her skirt!

Zhang Yansheng wiped her face while staring at the little brat, who was holding a water gun outside the door, showing anger in her eyes.

She then remembered that when she went to attend her granny’s birthday banquet on the third day of summer vacation, this little brat ruined her with a water gun… her two skirts. Yes, there were two.
