Mr. Gu, stop being abusive, Miss Xu is marrying your brother.

"Mom, my painting won the first prize. I painted my mother, Xia Xia, and my uncle."

"Mom, they asked me why I don't have a father..."

"Mom, when can you go home?"

Xia Cheng said that Xia Xia is very sensible, much more sensible than the average five-year-old child.

Sometimes, he felt that this child was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

……

"Mom, if you don't cry, you still have Xia Xia." Xia Xia was nestled in Xu Yan's arms. He was just a child. He lacked maternal love and security.

Xu Yan just hugged Xia Xia and looked up in a daze to see herself in the full-length mirror.

His face was pale and bloodless, his figure was thin, and his lips were white, as if... his heartbeat would stop at any time.

In the past, Xu Yan was one of the top ladies in Haicheng in terms of appearance and figure, but now... Gu Zheyu was right, she seemed to be no different from a beggar on the roadside.

Her whole body was already so thin that she lost her appearance.

Being thrown into the storage room by Gu Zheyu, Xu Yan was a little dizzy because she hadn't eaten for a long time.

"Mom, are you hungry?" Xia Xia was also hungry, her stomach growled.

Xu Yan bit her lip and whispered comfort. "Good girl Xia Xia, mommy is going to find you something to eat."

After coaxing Xia Xia to sleep first, Xu Yan got up and walked out of the door.

Gu Zheyu didn't have time to stay with her all the time. He had to go to the hospital to see Xia Xueluo. He was now Xia Xueluo's fiancé.

After cautiously leaving the yard, Xu Yan saw the nanny and asked in a low voice. "Is there...is there anything to eat? The child is hungry."

The nanny gave Xu Yan a disgusted look and sneered. "Want to eat?"

Turning around and walking into the kitchen, the nanny came out with two bowls of rice.

Xu Yan held her arms in fear and quickly thanked her.

But the nanny walked straight out of the yard and dumped everything into the iron basin used to feed stray dogs on the roadside.

Xu Yan's eyes dodge, she lowers her head and tears gather in her eyes.

She was hungry, and so was Xia Xia. She didn't have a penny on her, so she had to find a way.

"Where are you going?" Seeing Xu Yan going out, the nanny asked angrily.

"Xia Xia... Xia Xia is here, I won't run away, I'm going out, go out for a while." Xu Yan explained in a low voice.

The nanny snorted and was too lazy to care about Xu Yan. Miss Xueluo told her not to give her food and to find a way to drive her away.

After leaving the villa, Xu Yan rubbed her hands with a chill. The autumn in Haicheng was not very cold, but it was biting.

She had no money and didn't know how to find food for Xia Xia.

Walking to the trash can, Xu Yan picked up a few bottles that no one wanted, thinking that she could always exchange money by picking up a few more.

"Hey, the sun is coming out in the west today? Who is this? Isn't this the great beauty Xu Yan?"

This is a wealthy area, and most of Xu Yan's former classmates are here.

Hearing the sarcastic voice behind her, Xu Yan shrank her shoulders. "You...recognized the wrong person."

But the woman obviously didn't intend to let her go, and pushed Xu Yan to the ground.

"Xueluo said you were released from prison, but we still didn't believe it. It turned out you were actually released."

Xu Yan curled up and didn't dare to raise her head.

The woman who pushed her was named Zhong Yunxiu. She was the second young lady of the Zhong family. She was a classmate of Xu Yan and had been very jealous since she was a child.

In the past, Xu Yan was unwilling to provoke her, and now she couldn't.

"Xu Yan, you have today too." Zhong Yunxiu walked up to Xu Yan with a smile and stepped hard on Xu Yan's ankle.

"Ah..." Xu Yan cried out in pain, and her ankle quickly became red and swollen.

"It's so shameless. Your mother, a civet cat, exchanged for the crown prince and made you, a rag-picking bitch, the eldest daughter of the Xu family for more than 20 years." Zhong Yunxiu patted Xu Yan's face and gave her a hard slap in the face. .

Xu Yan's ears were ringing, but she seemed to be used to it.

During these five years in prison...she was beaten frequently.

Tears gathered, Xu Yan just lowered her head and said nothing.

"How dare you touch her? She's so dirty." Another rich lady said in disgust and quickly took out an alcohol wipe. "Quickly wipe your hands."

"Didn't you hear that she checked into a hotel room with a wild man and had a child? It's so disgusting. Anyone can sleep with her. She must have some unclean disease." The rich lady curled her lips.

Zhong Yunxiu also disgustedly took the alcohol wipe and wiped it again and again, threw it on Xu Yan's face, and kicked her in the heart.

The pain was so painful that she couldn't breathe. Xu Yan huddled beside the trash can and kept breathing heavily.

She had no other choice but to endure, she couldn't compete with these people now.

She must rely on external help and find a backer...

Only with confidence can she fight back. Otherwise, all her struggles now are tantamount to self-destruction.

Gu Chenyan was her only life-saving straw in Haicheng.
