It was just after twelve o'clock in the morning.
Mingyao's cell phone rang.
"Mingyao, I wish you a happy 18th birthday!"
"Happy birthday, may you live long and peacefully."
"Happy birthday Yaoyao!"
Dozens of messages and red envelopes were sent over one after another, and Mingyao patiently replied to them one by one to express her gratitude.
While lying on the soft bed, Mingyao couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Unknowingly, it has been eighteen years since I came to this world...
Although she also encountered some unhappy things, overall, she has lived a very happy life these years.
She has sufficient material conditions, people who truly love her, and people who have been protecting her.
She cherishes her current life.
Raising her hand to turn off the light, the room was dark. Mingyao closed her eyes, sleepiness gradually coming over her.
Mingyao's sleep quality has always been very good, and she rarely dreams.
But for some reason today, she fell into a dream.
Mingyao is like an audience under the big screen, sitting in his seat and watching the scenes unfold. The strange thing is that this picture is extremely real, and there are many people she is familiar with appearing in it, as if it really happened.
In the dream, the heroine of the story is named Zhou Xiaozhu. Although her family environment is poor, she is smart, tenacious, hardworking, and has entered a key university with excellent results.
After attending classes, he was still working part-time here and there to earn living expenses for himself. During a job, he was being challenged by an overbearing manager. Wen Jing happened to be passing by and came to the rescue. The two formed a good relationship.
Later, Zhou Xiaozhu quit this job and found a job as a tutor.
That family lived in a high-end villa area, and they couldn't get a taxi when they went back. They happened to meet Wen Jing who was going out, so Wen Jing sent her back to school.
Over time, the understanding between the two gradually deepened, and a young man and woman gradually developed feelings and developed into lovers.
But the Wen family's family background is not generally high, and the two of them are not in the right family, so their relationship is destined to be bumpy.
After Wen's mother talked to Zhou Xiaozhu, Zhou Xiaozhu left Wen Jing because of her pride.
Later, by chance, Zhou Xiaozhu unexpectedly learned from her parents that she was not their biological daughter, but the daughter of the famous entrepreneur Tan Kang.
Later, Zhou Xiaozhu became Tan Xiaozhu and returned to the Tan family. In the Tan family, there was not only a son, Tan Heyu, but also a daughter, Tan Mingyao, who took her place.
At the banquet held for Tan Xiaozhu, Tan Xiaozhu met Wen Jing again, and the two renewed their relationship. This time nothing could prevent them from being together.
Tan Mingyao has always liked Wen Jing since she was a child, but Wen Jing only regarded her as her younger sister. Tan Mingyao hated that Tan Xiaozhu, who had returned to the Tan family, had taken away her glory and her parents' favor. Even Tan Heyu sided with Tan Xiaozhu, and was even more jealous that she could become a lover with Wen Jing.
Tan Mingyao caused many obstacles for her, but Tan Xiaozhu resolved them one by one. Later, he pretended to be Tan Xiaozhu to seduce Wen Jing, but Wen Jing saw through it and drove her out of the room mercilessly. Her reputation was completely ruined. .
Tan Kang was extremely disappointed with this unrelated daughter and gave her a sum of money to let her leave the Tan family.
The money was quickly squandered by Tan Mingyao. Then she wandered around one man after another, relying on them to live on. Finally, she contracted an illness and died in a rented house before she was thirty. She was not discovered until several days after her death...
Mingyao wakes up in a panic.
Fumbling with his hands to turn on the desk lamp, he leaned against the bedside and gasped for breath. When he wiped his hair, he found that there was cold sweat on his temples.
This dream is ridiculous, but the scene in the dream is so real, it almost seems like something that has happened or will happen...
I don’t know why I had such a ridiculous dream. How could I not be Tan Kang and Su Xinyi’s biological daughter? Moreover, the people I met in dreams were very different from those in real life...
Mingyao shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
I looked at the time and saw that it was only about three o'clock in the morning, and it was pitch black outside the window.
Mingyao was no longer sleepy. She walked downstairs with her slippers in hand, wanting to warm up a glass of milk to drink.
To avoid waking others, Mingyao kept her hands and feet very lightly and only turned on a small lamp for lighting.
Pour the milk into the cup, put it in the microwave and heat it for two minutes.
The aroma of milk slowly filled the air, and Mingyao's frightened nerves gradually relaxed...
"What are you doing?"
In the quiet and dark room, a voice suddenly sounded.
Mingyao trembled and the cup in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"Tan, Tan Heyu...?" Mingyao turned her head and saw the tall boy standing not far behind her.
He was carrying a shoulder bag and carrying something in his hand, as if he had just come back from outside.
"You, you come back so late?"
Mingyao was a little surprised and confused. In the morning, she heard from Su Xinyi that Tan Heyu went traveling with his friends.
Since his college entrance examination scores were among the top 20 in the city and he was admitted to the Finance Department of University B, Tan Kang has relaxed his control over him. He held a grand entrance banquet for him and gave him a sum of money as a reward.
Tan Heyu took a few steps closer to Mingyao.
He has grown a lot in the past three years, and he looks very oppressive in black clothes. In addition, what he did before is still lingering in Mingyao's mind.
Mingyao couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Tan Heyu's eyes darkened instantly.
"I, I'm going upstairs first, you should rest early."
Mingyao felt that the atmosphere was tense and put the milk glass on the table, trying to bypass him and go back upstairs.
Tan Heyu moved a step, blocking Mingyao's front, lowering his eyes to look at Mingyao's face through the unclear light.
In the past two years, Mingyao's facial features have gradually opened up, and they are perfect without a single flaw. Her temperament has become more and more beautiful and pitiful. Thick crow eyelashes drooped down, and there was a little white milk stain on the corner of her bright red mouth...
Tan Heyu's Adam's apple slid twice and he looked away.
He handed the gift box in his hand to Mingyao, pursed his lips, and whispered:
"...This is for you, a birthday present."
Mingyao looked up at him in surprise.
After all, Tan Heyu never gave her anything in the past few years, except to scare her.
"......Thanks."
After all, it was also his heart. Mingyao didn't want to offend him and reached out to take it.
Looking at the exquisitely wrapped gift box in her hand, Mingyao couldn't help but recall the way Tan Heyu stood next to the girl named Xiaozhu in his dream and coldly accused her.
It was indeed a dream.
Mingyao raised her head and smiled softly at Tan Heyu.
At this time, the clear brilliance of the moonlight shone on her face, like covering her with a hazy veil, like a dream.
Tan Heyu's eyes couldn't help but be confused, and he opened his lips slightly, trying to say something.
Mingyao had already bypassed him and turned around to go upstairs.
