That year, Song Qinghuan was seven years old.

The kidnappers hid her from place to place, and she was unconscious and unaware of where she was. The final destination was an abandoned factory where little Song Qinghuan witnessed the kidnappers became fretted and cruel day by day.

Some kicked her with their feet, and others extinguished their burning cigarettes against her hands. What she thought at that time was, “why hasn't Dad come to save me?”

Early on, the Song family did business illegally which offended some people who set fire on this family and decided to kidnap the most favored child from the younger generation of the Song family.

At that time, the most favored one was Song Shuyao.

The kidnappers didn't know the appearance of the Song family’s daughter, but only a name. So they didn't even know they kidnapped the wrong person.

After blackmailing again and again, the kidnappers absconded with money and left the hostage alone who was in a confused state of mind.

At that time, Song Qinghuan had been starving for several days. Before that, because the kidnappers worried that the Song family would call the police, the man beat and abused little Qinghuan with his belt crazyly, and asked her to make a voice to the Song family from the phone.

If little Qinghuan didn’t speak, the kidnappers would use cigarette butts to burn her on her white and tender arms in order to make her cry, so as to threaten the Song family not to play tricks.

And the people of the Song family didn't call the police, in a great part, due to their own prestige, not for the sake of Song Qinghuan’s security.

God blessed her. There were wild dogs around the abandoned factory. Those wild dogs found little Qinghuan for the first time. They didn't hurt her, instead, they took something for her to eat.

That day, with the barking of the dog and the sound of footsteps from far to near, a little boy approached carefully.

The person he saw was little Qinghuan who was spiritless like a ragged doll, with a pink pentagonal hairpin hidden in her dirty hair.

She was chewing a smelly dead mouse mechanically. The little boy took action before thinking. He ran to her and beat off the thing in her hand.

Little Qinghuan's eyes were empty, and it took a long time for her to focus on his face. She was still confused and scared.

The little boy frowned and said, "This meat can't be eaten. Spit it out!"

Little Qinghuan didn't spit it out but swallowed it quickly. The little boy knelt down in front of her, stretched out his left hand to hold her mouth and put his right hand into her mouth to take it out.

Until little Qinghuan spit all of it out with tears, the little boy carefully picked her up and moved to the side for several steps. He rubbed his hands on his school uniform and reached them out again. But little Qinghuan hid away in fear.

The little boy hugged and coaxed with laugh, "Don't be afraid. I will protect you."

Later...

Song Qinghuan looks at herself in the mirror and is lost in deep thought.

Later, the little boy carried her away from the place where she is still afraid of now. She was rescued and sent back to Song's house by police. The boy who promised to visit her broke his promise, too.

Back home, Song Qinghuan did not get Song Shuyao's thanks, but received the biggest malice in her life. She still remembered that Song Shuyao, a young girl at that time, said to her, "Why didn't you die?"

But she was reluctant to speak at that time. Even if she was bullied by Song Shuyao, she would never cry because she knew that tears would bring nothing but trouble and disgust.

She had always been true to Song Shuyao.

But Song Shuyao and her mother Xia Runan were always fighting against her. Song Qinghuan puts on her bathrobe and thinks that it's time for them to get into desperation.

Song Qinghuan goes downstairs. She is still the only one at home for dinner tonight.

When Nanny Wu sees her coming down, she immediately smiles and says, "Miss, dinner is ready."

Song Qinghuan takes a seat in the dining room. She puts a tablet PC on the dining table and says to Nanny Wu, who is standing beside to serve her, "Nanny Wu, sit down."

Song Qinghuan looks at the woman opposite who is in her early fifties and has white hair on her temples. Her finger-pulps are tapping the screen of the tablet PC in a rhythmic way. Nanny Wu on the opposite side is gradually becoming restrained by her observation.

Song Qinghuan can see a whole picture of Nanny Wu, and suddenly says with a smile, "Nanny Wu, you have worked in the Song family for half your life. Did Grandma and I do something wrong to you?"

"Huh?" Nanny Wu stands up quickly and explains with a stiff smile, "Why did you say that, Miss? You and the old lady are very kind to me. "

"Right?"

Song Qinghuan laughs. The screen of tablet PC suddenly lights up, and a video appears in front of Nanny Wu in which Xia Runan is handing Nanny Wu a medicine bottle and chatting with her in low voice. Song Qinghuan looks at Nanny Wu’s pale face and says softly, "Is it the way that you repay by trapping me and changing Grandma’s medicine?"

"I..." After watching this video, Nanny Wu feels chilled and her wrinkled eyes are full of tears. Now all the evidence is in front of her eyes, which reduces Nanny Wu to no excuse.

Nanny Wu shivers, and the old woman cries, "I was threatened by Mrs. Xia, and I had no choice."

Song Qinghuan turns off the video. She looks up at Nanny Wu with her big clear eyes, saying with cold and determined tone. "You are just finding excuse for yourself."

Song Qinghuan makes a deal with Nanny Wu. When Song Qinghuan is not at home, Nanny Wu has to report all the errands Xia Runan gives to her and what Xia Runan does at home.

Xia Runan has shares in Song enterprise. Although it is small, it is definitely not something Song Qinghuan can nail now. She needs more evidence to fight against Xia Runan and Song Shuyao and wins it with one shot leaving no chance for them to fight back.

Nanny Wu wipes the tears from the corners of her eyes. She has devoted her whole life to the Song family and served the old lady for decades. At the beginning, when Xia Runan threatened her, Nanny Wu struggled in her heart.

However, people are selfish. Even if the old lady is very kind to her, Nanny Wu still chose for her own benefit. After this, Nanny Wu suddenly has a sense of relief. She looks at this girl who is brought up by her and thinks that this little girl has grown up into a beauty.

As a person who knows about Song family, when Song Qinghuan goes upstairs, Nanny Wu can't help asking, "Do you know who your biological mother is?"

Song Qinghuan keeps going upstairs. Her back is straight, and her voice is light and slow, saying, "I don't know. I don't want to know."

"..." Nanny Wu understands that Miss Qinghuan has hatred in her heart.
