A voice as cold and sweet as falling snow came from above. Ruan Shu sobbed and raised her face, and saw a young man wearing a white shirt under the backlight.
But Ruan Shu couldn't see his face clearly because of the light problem.
Ruan Shu wiped the tears on her face with her little hands, but the more she wiped, the more tears accumulated.
She sobbed and gave a sticky reply.
"I...I'm fine."
She heard the young man chuckle slightly, and then put a candy in her hand.
"Go find your parents quickly. Don't let the little cub run around."
Ruan Shu raised her little head and saw the young man turning around and leaving. He had the same snow-white hair as herself, but it was half-long. His back was cold and distant, as if he was isolated from the world.
Her eyes followed his back, holding the candy tightly in her hand.
"You damn girl can't even keep up when you walk. Your mental strength is crippled, not your legs!"
Xiao Yuanyi came back cursing when she realized that she wasn't following her. It wasn't that she was worried about Ruan Shu. No matter what, she was a descendant of the Ruan family. Even if she couldn't marry into a rich family, she could always get some benefits.
After spending so much thought, she is still unwilling to give up now.
Back at their cheap rental house, Xiao Yuanyi warned Ruan Shu not to run around, locked the door and left.
She had to find someone to contact the Ruan family. This loser couldn't stay here any longer and drag her down. She was still young, and she could still find someone else to support her after knocking off the Ruan family.
The dark and cramped room was filled with the smell of cheap perfume and the disgusting smell of alcohol.
She is the only one here now, and Ruan Shu has long been used to it.
She walked to the window and opened the curtains to let the sunlight in.
There was rubbish and wine bottles everywhere in the room.
She wrinkled her little face that was too childish but her eyebrows were stunningly delicate, and her little body began to move to clean up the house.
Ruan Shu is a cub who loves to be clean. Even if every time she drags her little body to tidy up the room, it might become a mess again the next day.
Ruan Shu collected the garbage that could be recycled and sold in a bag, and then started cleaning.
She was so small that after sweeping the floor, she had to fetch water, mop the floor and clean the table. She even had to stand on a small stool to reach some higher places.
By the time she finished cleaning, she was already sweating, tired and hungry.
There was a growling sound in her stomach. She held her stomach and pursed her lips, and moved step by step to a small dark room where she slept.
There was a small bed in the small room of about ten square meters, and other sundries belonging to Xiao Yuanyi were piled up.
But it was kept very clean and tidy.
Ruan Shu lay on the bedside, took out a small box from under the bed, and then carefully took out a tube of cheap nutritional supplements from it.
The slimy taste was unpleasant, but in order not to starve, she could only eat this.
One night, the person called mother didn't come back.
Ruan Shu was relieved at first. If she didn't come back, she wouldn't have to be beaten.
But the woman still didn't come back on the second and third days. When she finished the last nutritional supplement, she became anxious.
The door was locked and there was nothing to eat at home. She wouldn't starve to death at home.
Ruan Shu knocked on the door anxiously, but there was no way to contact the outside.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I'm so hungry."
The door slamming hand hurt, and the wounds from the previous fall were scabbed, and now her originally white and tender little hands turned red from slamming the door.
While sobbing, she sat down against the door. Ruan Shu hugged her knees, and her dark and bright eyes were staring at the ground lifelessly.
She will starve to death here.
She is so useless, she has only been in this world for four years and is about to die.
She was alone in the room, and it was cold.
Ruan Shu raised her hands, trying to catch the sunlight coming in from the window.
Crystal tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked up at the window.
She didn't want to die in a cold room. If she could die outside, she could find some small wild flowers for herself. With the sunshine and the company of small wild flowers, she wouldn't be lonely.
While Ruan Shu was thinking wildly, there was a clicking sound from the door behind her.
Ruan Shu, with an almost transparent little face, stood up and staggered back two steps, pursed her pale lips, and stared with dull eyes.
The door was opened, and it was not the woman who walked in, but a strange man in a suit.
"Ruan Shu?"
The man asked when he saw the little girl standing at the door, her face pale and weak from hunger.
Ruan Shu looked at him intently for two seconds, and then her eyes went dark and she knew nothing.
Ruan Shu seemed to hear something in a daze. She did not sleep peacefully, and the burning hunger in her stomach woke her up.
The pale, almost transparent skin seemed to break and dissipate at any time, but the thick black eyelashes were like butterfly wings, spreading out tremblingly as if they were about to dance at any time.
Opening her eyes, Ruan Shu felt uncomfortable with the dazzling light.
"Wake up, go get the nutritional supplements quickly."
She heard someone talking, turned her head subconsciously and looked over, and saw an old man wearing a black tuxedo who looked energetic.
Soon someone came over with nutritional supplements. Ruan Shu was very hungry. She couldn't wait to drink the strawberry-flavored nutritional supplement as soon as it came to her mouth.
But I don’t have any strength, and no matter how hard I drink, I still feel weak and slow.
There is no cheap plastic taste, nor is there a disgusting sticky feeling that sticks to the walls of the throat and intestines. It is like strawberry-flavored jelly. It is the most delicious nutritional supplement since she came to this world.
After taking one cigarette, the burning hunger feeling in the stomach has subsided, but the feeling of weakness in the body caused by hunger has not disappeared.
"Thank you...thank you."
Ruan Shu softly thanked her in a low voice. She didn't know where she was yet.
But it's definitely not that cramped little house.
Because what she saw was luxury and magnificence that she had never seen before.
Ruan Shu grasped the quilt covering her body tightly, and looked at the stranger in front of her timidly and nervously with a pair of deer-like eyes.
"You, who are you?"
"Don't be afraid, young lady, this is the Marshal's Mansion, I am the housekeeper here, and this will be your home from now on."
Marshal's Mansion, she had heard these three words from that woman more than once. It seemed that it was her father's house now.
But Ruan Shu did not feel relieved because of this. Instead, she looked depressed.
The energetic old housekeeper in a tuxedo looked at the little person on the bed with a loving look on his face.
Seeing that her face was pale from hunger and she looked a little malnourished, the housekeeper once again scolded Xiao Yuanyi's mother for stealing their marshal's sperm and giving birth to a child without taking responsibility.
That kind of person deserves to enter their Ruan family, just go ahead and dream!
